We report numerical simulations to investigate of the dependendce of the on/off current ratio and channel charge distributions in silicon nanowire (SiNW) field-effect transistors (FETs) on the channel width and thicknesses. In order to investigate the transport behavior in devices with different channel geometries, we have performed detailed two-dimensional simulations of SiNWFETs and control FETs with a fixed channel length L of $10\;{\mu}m$, but varying the channel width W from 5 nm to $5\;{\mu}m$, and thickness t from 10 nm to 30 nm. We have show that $Q_{ON}/Q_{OFF}$ drastically decreases (from $^{\sim}2.9{\times}10^4$ to $^{\sim}9.8{\times}10^3$) as the channel thickness increases (from 10 nm to 30 nm). As a result of the simulation using a quantum model, even higher charge density in the bottom of SiNW channel was observed then in the bottom of control channel.

In this paper, voice activity detection (VAD) for dual-channel noisy speech recognition is proposed in which spatial cues are employed. In the proposed method, a probability model for speech presence/absence is constructed using spatial cues obtained from dual-channel input signal, and a speech activity interval is detected through this probability model. In particular, spatial cues are composed of interaural time differences and interaural level differences of dual-channel speech signals, and the probability model for speech presence/absence is based on a Gaussian kernel density. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed VAD method, speech recognition is performed for speech segments that only include speech intervals detected by the proposed VAD method. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of several methods such as an SNR-based method, a direction of arrival (DOA) based method, and a phase vector based method. It is shown from the speech recognition experiments that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods by providing relative word error rates reductions of 11.68%, 41.92%, and 10.15% compared with SNR-based, DOA-based, and phase vector based method, respectively.

본 논문은 HFC망을 고도화하기 위해 기존의 DOCSIS 규격에 채널-결합방식을 도입한 DOCSIS 3.0 기반 망에서 상향 스트림 패킷을 효율적으로 전송할 수 있는 상향대역 할당 시뮬레이터를 설계하고 구현한다. 다수의CM들이 경쟁 구간을 통해 대역할당을 요청하기 때문에 발생하는 충돌을 최소화할 수 있는 충돌 해소 및 경쟁 구간 설정 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션하고 결과를 분석한다. OPNET 기반의 DOCSIS 시뮬레이터를 개발하기 위해 DOCSIS 3.0의 MAC 프레임 구조를 정의하고 채널-결합 방식을 사용하는 CM과 사용하지 않는 CM을 구현한다. 또한 DOCSIS 망의 핵심 구성 요소인 CMTS 노드와 CM 노드, 각 노드의 프로세스를 모델링하고 구현한다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 기반으로 상향대역 할당 알고리즘의 성능을 비교 평가한다.

디지탈 무전 통신 시스템을 설계하는 경우 원하는 송신 전력, 전송 속도와 비트 오율등 원하는 통신 품질을 얻기 위해서는 무선 채널의 영향을 고려하여야 한다. 무선 채널에서 통신 품질을 열화시키는 주된 원인으로는 송신점과 수신점 사이를 연결하는 다중 경로에 의한 페이딩을 들 수 있으므로 시스템 설계시에는 페이딩 현상을 정확하 게 나타내기 위한 채널의 모델이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문은 채널에서 발생되는 다중 경로 페이딩 현상과 지연 시간을 고려하는 채널 시뮬레이터 모델의 구성에 관한 것이 다. 제안된 모델의 성능 분석을 위하여 송신을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬 레이션 결과 페이딩 수신 신호를 확률밀도 함수, 레벨 교차율, 평균 페이딩 지속시간 분포에서 이론치와 유사함을 얻을 수 있었다.

Mombasa is the principle port of Kenya, serving inland countries in Eastern and central Africa. Mombasa port has undergone a massive infrastructure upgrade and dredging works with an expectation that more vessels and large post Panamax ships will be able to enter Mombasa port. Therefore, it is vital to carry out a marine traffic risk assessment in order to quantify the degree of navigation safety needed in the Mombasa approach channel and also to evaluate the navigation risk imposed on transit traffic by local ferry traffic. In this paper, a marine traffic risk assessment is carried out using the IWRAP mk2, Environmental Stress (ES) model, and the PARK model. Risk assessment results show that Likoni area has an unacceptable stress/risk ranking at 20.7% by the ES model and 38.89% by the PARK model. The IWRAP mk2 model shows that the crossing area has the highest risk of crossing collision and the area at the entrance to the inner channel has a high risk of grounding. The conclusions derived from this study will provide the basis for proposing the most effective countermeasure to improve navigation safety in the Mombasa approach channel.

Mombasa is the principle port of Kenya, serving hinter countries in Eastern and central Africa. Mombasa port has undergone a massive infrastructure upgrade and dredging works with an expectation that more vessels and large post Panamax ships will be able to call at Mombasa port. Therefore, it is vital to carry out a marine traffic risk assessment so as to quantify the degree of navigation safety on Mombasa approach channel and also to evaluate navigation risk imposed on transit traffic by local ferry traffic. In this paper marine traffic risk assessment is carried out using IWRAP mk2, Environmental Stress model, and PARK model. Risk assessment results show that Likoni area has unacceptable stress/ risk ranking at 20.7% on ES model and 38.89% by PARK model. IWRAP mk2 model shows that crossing area has the highest risk of crossing collision and the area at the entrance to inner channel has a high risk of grounding. The conclusions derived from this study will provide the basis for proposing the most effective countermeasure so as to improve navigation safety in Mombasa approach channel.

GaAs MESFET는 동작점에 따라 선형영역, 포화영역으로 구분된 모델을 사용함에 따라, GaAs MESFET 회로 해석을 위한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 시 영역의 경계점에서의 1차 및 2차 미분 불연속으로 인한 해의 발산 문제가 발생하곤 하였다. 본 논문에서는 선형영역과 포화영역을 모두 포함한 통합된 채널길이변조식을 제안하였다. 새로이 제안된 채널길이변조식을 이용하여 전류-전압 모델과 커패시턴스-전압 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 전류-전압 모델은 Shur의 모델과 비교하였으며 제안된 커패시턴스-전압 모델은 디바이스 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. 비교된 결과로부터 제안된 모델들은 기존의 모델과 유사한 결과를 얻었으며 연속성이 개선될 것으로 기대된다.

Nowadays, Power Line Communication (PLC) is gaining high attention from industry and electric supply companies for the services like demand response, demand side management and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The reliable services to consumers using PLC can be provided by utilizing an efficient PLC channel for which sophisticated channel modeling is very important. This paper presents characterization of a Low Voltage (LV) access network for Narrowband Power Line Communications (NB-PLC) using transmission line (TL) theory and a Simulink model. The TL theory analysis not only includes the constant parameters but frequency selectivity is also introduced in these parameters such as resistance, conductance and impedances. However, the proposed Simulink channel model offers an analysis and characterization of capacitive coupler, network impedance and channel transfer function for NB-PLC. Analysis of analytical and simulated results shows a close agreement of the channel transfer function. In the absence of a standardized NBPLC channel model, this research work can prove significant in improving the efficiency and accuracy of NB-PLC communication transceivers for Smart Grid communications.

A practical iterative channel estimation technique is proposed for the multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system in the high-speed mobile environment, such as high speed railway scenario. In the iterative algorithm, the Kalman filter and data detection are jointed to estimate the time-varying channel, where the detection error is considered as part of the noise in the Kalman recursion in each iteration to reduce the effect of the detection error propagation. Moreover, the employed Kalman filter is from the canonical state space model, which does not include the parameters of the autoregressive (AR) model, so the proposed method does not need to estimate the parameters of AR model, whose accuracy affects the convergence speed. Simulation results show that the proposed method is robust to the fast time-varying channel, and it can obtain more gains compared with the available methods.
