In order to utilize the licensed channel of cognitive radio (CR) when the primary user (PU) is detected busy, a benefit-exchange access mode based on cooperative communication is proposed to allow secondary user (SU) to access the busy channel through giving assistance to PU's communication in exchange for some transmission bandwidth. A holistic joint optimization problem is formulated to maximize the total throughput of CR system through jointly optimizing the parameters of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), including the local sensing time, the pre-configured sensing decision threshold, the forward power of cooperative communication, and the bandwidth and transmission power allocated to SUs in benefit-exchange access mode and traditional access mode, respectively. To solve this complex problem, a combination of bi-level optimization, interior-point optimization and exhaustive optimization is proposed. Simulation results show that, compared with the tradition throughput maximizing model (TTMM), the proposed holistic joint optimization model (HJOM) can make use of the channel effectively even if PU is busy, and the total throughput of CR obtains a considerable improvement by HJOM.

In this paper, an algorithm for obtaining 2-state switching failure function and a terminal pair reliability evaluation method in a communication network are proposed. The communication network is modeled by a graph. By using the sequence of matrix transformations for the graph, minimal cut-set matrix representing all minimal cut-sets which completely interrupt the communication path is determined and 2-state switching failure function is then obtained from the minimal cut-set matrix. The terminal pari reliability of the communication network is evaluated by corresponding the random variables to 2-state switching failure function. Illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the algorithm. A computer program evaluating the terminal pair reliability in a complex and large network has also been developed.

New technologies will soon bring fundamental changes to the process of scientific communication. To understand the path that these changes may take in the future, we need to take a careful look at the past. By examining the history of scientific communication, we can see how new technologies can interact with changes in communication forms. By looking at the complex roles that journals have traditionally played, we can better understand how and when journals may incorporate these new technologies. From these models we can project that electronic journals must meet the basic needs that print journals do, that they will initially maintain many of the features of traditional print journals, that their transformation may be driven by external forces, and that they will be slow in reaching their full potential.

Purpose: The study examines changes in students' self-assessment of their general communication (GC) and medical communication (MC) competencies, as well as perceptions of MC concepts. Methods: Participants included 108 second year medical students enrolled at a Korean medical school studying an MC curriculum. It was divided into three sections, and participants responded to questionnaires before and after completing each section. To assess perceived GC and MC competency, items based on a 7-point Likert scale were employed; a single open-ended item was used to examine students' perceptions of MC. Statistical analysis was conducted to gauge GC and MC competency, whereas semantic network analysis was used to investigate students' perceptions of MC. Results: Students perceived their GC competency to be higher than MC. Perceived MC competency differed significantly across the three sections, whereas no differences were found for GC. There were no statistically significant differences after completing the curriculum's second and third sections; however, the vocabulary students used to describe MC concepts became more scholarly and professional. In the semantic networks, the link structure between MC-related words decreased in linearity and looseness, becoming more complex and clustered. The words 'information' and 'transfer' proved integral to students' perceptions; likewise, 'empathy' and 'communication' became closely connected in a single community from two independent communities. Conclusion: This study differed from prior research by conducting an in-depth analysis of changes in students' perceptions of MC, and its findings can be used to guide curriculum development.

Artificial intelligence can be cited as a key linkage technology for expanding drones' application fields, and drones combined with artificial intelligence are expected to improve drones' operational capabilities based on algorithms that can solve complex tasks through learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze various latest research cases that apply deep reinforcement learning to drones to solve limitations for performing swarm flight and to propose a new research direction that applies them to multi-agent communication optimization technology. The process of the research is to investigate and analyze the methods for efficient operation of control and communication technologies required for swarm flight to be successful, and to apply algorithms that have the advantage of exchanging richer feedback between agents and having less learning than conventional methods when learning deep reinforcement learning algorithms. It is expected that the efficiency and performance of learning communication protocols optimized for swarm flight will be improved, which will increase the efficiency of mission performance when exploring or scouting large areas through swarm flight in the future.

In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the limitations and needs of the wireless internet. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless internet proxy server but it has disadvantages; 1) its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it and 2) its structure is complex because of the inefficient communication structure among modules. In our former research, we proposed the CD-A structure which can be scalable in a systematic way but it also has disadvantages; its communication structure among modules is partly complex. In this paper, we proposed a consolidated scheme which has a systematic scalability and an efficient communication structure among modules. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 196% and 40% performance improvement of the proposed system compared to the TranSend and the CD-A system, respectively.

Naval combat management system is a kind of complex weapon systems performing naval ship's warfare mission by integrating various types of system including sensor systems, weapon systems and many kinds of communication system. Recently, there are many studies to apply commercial high-level communication middleware to naval combat system development to integrate and interoperate various kinds of heterogeneous on-board systems efficiently. An initial discovery mechanism is required for application modules to start communication with their relevant modules to apply middlware technology in developing naval combat system, which is characterized by large-scale, complex and real-time system. This paper suggests a fast hybrid discovery mechanism which combines static and dynamic discovery mechanism and confirms its adaptability by an experiment on testing environment.

The new social reality emerging amid the global rise of communication links and integration processes acutely emphasizes the problems of communication in large and small social systems. The method of their communication becomes one of the keys to ensuring global security. It has become the mission of humanitarian education to prepare the younger generations for life in a changing world with no image of the future and increasing uncertainty. In psychological and pedagogical research, there is a growing scientific interest in the problems of interaction of the individual with the social environment. The mental trace of a person's practice in society shapes the experience of social interaction, which constitutes simultaneously the source, tool, and condition for the emergence and development of personality. The study outlines the methodological foundations for the study of individual experiences of social interaction. A hypothesis about the productivity of the functional matrix method is tested. Materials for the training of specialists in the humanities include interdisciplinary approaches to the study and transformation of the experience of social interaction and systematic methodology for the study of complex objects. Fundamental to the study is the systematic-dialectical method, and the matrix method is employed as the instrumental-technological method. The paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary overview of scientific literature concerning the essential characteristics and functions of social interaction and the respective experience. The overview points to the fragmented nature of scientific understanding of the elements of experience outside its integrity and systemic properties. Based on the formula "personality interacts with the social environment", the study presents an algorithm for the application of a systematic methodology for the study of complex objects, which made it possible to identify the system parameters of experience at three levels of cognition and develop the reference structural and functional matrices for the didactic system of its pedagogical enrichment.

As the production of small quadcopter drones has diversified and multi-sensors have been installed in FC due to the spread of MCU capable of high-speed processing, small drones that can perform special-purpose operations rather than simple operations have been realized. Hovering, attitude control, and position movement control were possible through the IMU in the FC mounted on the drone, but control is not easy when GPS connection and video communication are not possible in a closed building with a complex structure. In this study, when encountering an obstacle with a change in altitude in such a space, we proposed a method to overcome the obstacle and perform autonomous flight using optical flow and IR sensors using the Lucas-Kanade method. Through experiments, the drone's altitude flight on stairs that replace the complex structure of a closed space with stable hovering motion has a success rate of 98% within the tolerance of 10 [cm] due to external influences, and reliable autonomous flight up and down is achieved.
