주파수 자원은 국가의 소중한 무형 자산으로써 무선 통신의 발전과 함께 주파수 자원의 가치가 더욱 커지고 있다. 과거에는 석유, 철강, 가스 및 석탄등이 국가의 중요한 자원이었으나 21세기의 정보화 사회에서는 주파수 자원이 그에 못지 않게 소중한 자산으로 인식되고 있다. 우리나라의 무선 통신 기술은 아날로그 세대인 1980년대까지는 매우 제한적으로 사용되었으나 1990년대 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 이동 통신의 상용화 이후 비약적으로 발전하여 현재는 유비쿼터스 정보화 사회를 눈앞에 두고 있다. 그런데 유비쿼터스 정보화 사회에서는 주파수자원의 수요가 공급에 비하여 매우 많기 때문에 주파수 부족 현상이 심각하게 대두된다. 그러나 실제로 분배된 주파수의 이용 효율을 측정해보면 이의 이용효율이 평균적으로 30% 이하로 나타나고 있다([그림 1] 참조). 따라서 이용되지 않고 있는 주파수 자원을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있는 공유 기술을 개발하여 이를 이용한다면 주파수 자원의 부족 현상을 해결하는데 크게 기여할 것이다. 본 고 에서는 이와 같이 분배된 자원 중에서 사용효율이 낮거나 사용되지 않는 주파수 자원의 이용효율을 획기적으로 높이기 위한 기술로서 최근 각광을 받고 있는 CR(Cognitive Radio) 기술의 동향 및 응용에 대하여 기술한다.

A number of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) studies have been performed to assess the cognitive status through EEG signal. However, there are a few studies trying to prevent user from unexpected safety-accident in BCI study. The EEGs were collected from 19 subjects who participated in two experiments (rest & event-related potential measurement). There was significant difference in EEG changes of both spontaneous and event-related potential. Beta power and P300 latency may be useful as a biomarker for prevention of response to safety-accident.

Spectrum sensing is one of the most important functions in cognitive radio systems. In this paper, we focus on reducing the sensing time in a cooperative spectrum sensing paradigm. In the proposed scheme, a sequential detection technique is employed to provide a robust and quick detection system. Each of the secondary users measures the log-likelihood probability of the received signals and then sequentially reports to the base station. Here, the maximum ratio combining (MRC) technique is employed to reduce the average sample number (ASN) in order to reduce the sensing time. This proposed scheme is analyzed and simulated to illustrate the performance in comparison with the other given methods. Analysis and simulation are provided to validate the proposed method.

This paper applies a compressed algorithm to improve the spectrum sensing performance of cognitive radio technology. At the fusion center, the recovery error in the analog to information converter (AIC) when reconstructing the transmit signal from the received time-discrete signal causes degradation of the detection performance. Therefore, we propose a subspace pursuit (SP) algorithm to reduce the recovery error and thereby enhance the detection performance. In this study, we employ a wide-band, low SNR, distributed compressed sensing regime to analyze and evaluate the proposed approach. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Recently, the use of mobile devices has increased, and mobile traffic is growing rapidly. In order to deal with such massive traffic, cognitive radio (CR) is applied to efficiently use limited-spectrum resources. However, there can be multiple communication systems trying to access the white space (unused spectrum), and inevitable interference may occur to cause mutual performance degradation. Therefore, understanding the effects of interference in CR-based systems is crucial to meaningful operations of these systems. In this paper, we consider a long-term evolution (LTE) system using additional spectra by accessing the TV white space, where low-power devices (LPDs) are licensed primary users, in addition to TV broadcasting service providers. We model such a heterogeneous system to analyze the co-existence problem and evaluate the interference effects of LPDs on LTE user equipment (UE) throughput. We then present methods to mitigate the interference effects of LPDs by 'de-selecting' some of the UEs to effectively increase the overall sector throughput of the CR-based LTE system.

There is no universally agreed classification of human error, nor is there one in prospect. Thus, a taxonomy is usually made for a specific purpose. To seek the types of human errors in the environment of man-machine interface under the railway industry, we develop a cognitive information processing model incorporating the human's mental states. Using the model, this study investigates the types of human errors about the railway workers. Thus, a survey is conducted for railway safety personnel-locomotive engineers, station employees, and train commanders- in Korean railway company. Through the survey that is designed to investigate four types of human errors from the Questionnaires composed of thirty Questions, we analyze the types of human errors related to railway safety according to affiliated offices, operation shifts, age, and working years. Finally, from the insights of the results some guidelines for the railway safety management are presented.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to conserve resources of the common control channel in a cognitive radio network by rejecting the redundant users using cooperative spectrum sensing. The proposed scheme is investigated under the paradigm of active spectrum sensing and a sequential detection technique. The algorithm is based on the J-divergence between the hypotheses of non primary user operation and the otherwise case. We select the most significant eigenvalues, which primarily affect the global statistical test. For the case where interference is from a secondary system transmission, a match filter is first employed to remove the degradation, and then the proposed algorithm is employed to remove the cooperative sensing nodes. Numerical results are provided and compared with conventional cases in order to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

The evaluation of food taste is one of the important activities of human consciousness and it is practiced by sensory analysis using 5 terminal sensorial consciousness among many other functions. These consciousness activities may be conducted by 3 way branching transformation (3-WBT) logic, which choose one out of 3 options under the multi-layered consciousness decision making system. On the basis of this logic, cognitive sensory evaluation (CSE) method was developed to carry out questionnaire survey covering objective and subjective issues during consumption of food for pregnant women. The results of the CSE for several food items was presented with the Table-pattern called CSET covering consciousness factors and their effects on the food consumers.

We report a case of an 80-year-old Korean man with chronic cerebral paragonimiasis who presented with progressive memory impairment. He suffered from pulmonary paragonimiasis 60 years ago and has been experiencing epilepsy since the age of 45. He began experiencing memory and cognitive deterioration 3 years ago. He visited the neuropsychiatric department of our hospital to check his symptoms and health from a year ago. Contrast-enhanced brain magnetic resonance imaging study revealed calcifications and cystic lesions encompassing the right temporo-occipital region. Encephalomalatic changes were also observed in the right occipital and temporal areas. The anti-Paragonimus specific IgG antibodies in his serum showed a strong positive response. The neuropsychological test results showed a Global Deterioration Scale of 4 and a Clinical Dementia Rating Scale of 1. The chronic cerebral paragonimiasis lesions in the patient's right temporo-occipital region might induce the dementic change.
