We investigated the influence of the properties of substrate material on the separation efficiency in microchip electrophoresis. We fabricated the various microchips and studied separation efficiency in microchannels composed of a single material such as quartz, glass, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and polymethylmetha crylate (PMMA), as well as hybrid micro channels composed of different materials. New fabrication process for glass chip was suggested and some treatment is added to improve fabrication process in other chip. Separation efficiency was compared by measuring migration times and bandwidths of EOF and analytes in each microchip. The efficiency is the function of migration time, which is affected by the electroosmotic flow (EOF), and bandwidth of an analyte. EOF is highly dependent upon the characteristics of a microchannel wall surface. Migration time was more reproducible in silica chips than that of PDMS chip and more band broadening was observed in the microchip composed of hybrid material due to non-uniformity of surface charge density at the walls of the channel.

The random access systems, with retransmission diversity (RD) employment, over large random spreading code division multiple access (CDMA) channel subject to fading is investigated, under the assumption of infinite number of users and infinite spreading gain with their ratio converging to a constant. The low bound of the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) is shown to converge almost surely to a constant. The throughput, spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency in the dominating systems are obtained. The analytical results are confirmed by simulations. We find that in high traffic loads the throughput with fading is higher than that without. When the energy efficiency increases, the spectrum efficiency tends to two contrary values due to SNR increases or decreases. For the ordinary stable systems, the stability region is shown to shrink as the traffic increases and enlarge with RD employment.

The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering of water surface due to tides results in strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of these currents can be efficiently exploited by use of tidal current turbines. The pilot tidal current power plant is to be constructed at the Uldolmok narrow channel between J info and Haenam, Our ins next Year, and extensive coastal engineer ing research works have been carried out. This paper describes and analyzes some observation results of field test about the efficiency of Helical turbine for tidal current power plant. The efficiency of turbine, which is diameter 2.2m and height 2.5m, is evaluated meximum RPM, torque, and current velocity. The tested turbines had the maximum efficiencies of the bounds of 25 to 35% in the current velocity range between 1.4 and 2.6 m/s. This result shows that the pilot tidal current power plant needs three helical turbines with diameter 3.0m and height 3.6m to produce electric power 500kW.

차세대 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 이동통신환경에서 송신 신호의 주기가 채널의 지연확산보다 충분히 크지 않으면 심볼간의 간섭이 발생하여 성능이 열화된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 직 병렬 변환기를 통과시킴으로써 채널의 지연확산보다 충분히 큰 주기 신호를 만들고, 직 병렬 변환기의 서브채널 수에 따라 스펙트럼 효율을 가변적으로 높일 수 있다. 또한 이동통신환경에서 성능향상을 위해 MC-CDMA에 병렬 주파수 다이버시티 블럭을 첨가한다. 제안된 모델의 스펙트럼 효율을 계산하여 MC-CDMA의 스펙트럼 효율과 비교하고, 다중 경로 레일리 페이팅 채널 모델에서 성능 향상을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

The success of the IEEE 802.11 standard has prompted research into efficiency of the different medium access methods and their support for different traffic types. A modified version of the point coordination function (PCF) called modified PCF has been introduced as a way to improve the efficiency over the standard method. It has been shown through a simulation study and a mathematical analysis that channel utilization can be much improved compared to the standard, in case there is no so-called hidden station problem. However, under the hidden station problem, the efficiency of the modified PCF would obviously decrease. In this paper, some enhancements of the modified PCF are introduced. Firstly, we propose a retransmission process to allow frames involved in collisions to be retransmitted. Then, we propose a collision resolution mechanism to reduce the frame collision probability due to the hidden station problem. In addition, we propose a priority scheme to support prioritization for different traffic types such as interactive voice and video, and real-time data traffic in the modified PCF. To prevent the starvation of one low priority traffic, minimum transmission period is also guaranteed to each traffic type via an admission control algorithm. We study the performance of the modified PCF under the hidden station problem and the performance of the modified PCF with priority scheme through simulations. To illustrate the efficiency of the priority scheme, we therefore compare its simulation results with those of some standardized protocols: The distributed coordination function (DCF), the enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA), the PCF, and our previously proposed protocol: The modified PCF without priority scheme. The simulation results show that the increment of delay in the network due to the hidden station problem can be reduced using the proposed collision resolution mechanism. In addition, in a given scenario the modified PCF with priority scheme can provide better quality of service (QoS) support to different traffic types and also support a higher number of data stations than the previous proposals.

셀룰라 이동통신 제어 시스템에서 고도의 스펙트럼 효과를 도출해 내기 위해 셀에서 호에 대한 채널을 할당하는 것은 한정된 주파수 대역폭내에서 중요한 문제이다. 이동통신 제어 시스템에 있어서는 스펙트럼 효과를 그래프 이론의 색채화 문제로 연관 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰라 이동통신 제어시스템의 그래프 이론을 이용하여 채널 오프셋 구조를 제안하고, 그래프 색채화 문제와 관련된 채널 오프셋 구조의 색체화 대역폭을 수식화 하였다. 수식화 된 채널할당 문제로부터 채널 구성에 따른 셀 설계와 보다 효율적인 주파수 스펙트럼의 최적 채널 오프셋을 연구하여 전체 스펙트럼 대역폭에 대한 상한치와 하한치를 부여 한다.

본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기반 셀룰라 시스템에서 채널추정 성능을 향상시키기 위한 DEM(Decision-directed Expectation Maximization) 알고리듬을 제안한다. DEM 알고리듬은 다중안테나를 사용하는 단말이 셀 경계지역에 위치하는 경우 데이터 신호를 이용하여 주파수 효율의 감소 없이 채널추정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 한 그룹 내 채널변화 성분을 고려하여 채널갱신을 함으로써 고속 이동환경에도 큰 열화 없이 채널추정 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 DEM 알고리듬이 EM(Expectation Maximization) 기법과 비교하여 고속이동 환경에서 채널추정 성능을 향상 시키면서 연산 복잡도를 크게 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인한다.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are comprised of wireless mobile nodes characterized by a randomly changing topology, high mobility, availability of geographic position, and fewer power constraints. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising candidate for the physical layer of VANET because of the inherent characteristics of the spectral efficiency and robustness to channel impairments. The susceptibility of OFDM to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) is a challenging issue. The high mobility of nodes in VANET causes higher Doppler shifts, which results in ICI in the OFDM system. In this paper, a frequency domain com-btype channel estimation was used to cancel out ICI. The channel frequency response at the pilot tones was estimated using a Least Square (LS) estimator. An efficient interpolation technique is required to estimate the channel at the data tones with low interpolation error. This paper proposes a robust interpolation technique to estimate the channel frequency response at the data subcarriers. The channel induced noise tended to degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Parallel concatenated Convolutional codes were used for error correction. At the decoding end, different decoding algorithms were considered for the component decoders of the iterative Turbo decoder. A performance and complexity comparison among the various decoding algorithms was also carried out.

이동통신망에서는 이동국에서 채널할당 요청이 있을 때 교환국에서 각 기지국에 속한 이동국에 채널을 할당한다. 채널을 할당하는 방식에는 고정채널할당방식과 동적채널할당방식이 있으며 이를 조합한 하이브리드방식이 주류를 이룬다. 주파수를 잘 할당한다는 것은 그만큼 자원을 효율적으로 사용하고 고객에게 양질의 서비스를 제공하는 길이기도 하다. 본 논문에서는 채널을 할당할 때 채널간 간섭을 최소로 하고 채널을 할당하기까지의 시간과 횟수를 최소화하는 방안을 적용한 방식을 제안한다. 이를 구현하기 위해 유전 알고리즘의 프로세서 단계인 검증단계를 통하여 재생산 단계를 거치므로 제안 방식의 정확성과 효율성을 나타낸다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 다른 방식과 비교 검토하여 제안 방식의 효율성을 검증한다.

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a promising approach for cellular communication due to its energy efficiency and high achievable data rate. These advantages, however, can be realized only when channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter. Since there are many antennas, CSI is too large to feed back without compression. To compress CSI, prior work has applied compressive sensing (CS) techniques and the fact that CSI can be sparsified. The adopted sparsifying bases fail, however, to reflect the spatial correlation and channel conditions or to be feasible in practice. In this paper, we propose a new sparsifying basis that reflects the long-term characteristics of the channel, and needs no change as long as the spatial correlation model does not change. We propose a new reconstruction algorithm for CS, and also suggest dimensionality reduction as a compression method. To feed back compressed CSI in practice, we propose a new codebook for the compressed channel quantization assuming no other-cell interference. Numerical results confirm that the proposed channel feedback mechanisms show better performance in point-to-point (single-user) and point-to-multi-point (multi-user) scenarios.
