As is well known, cooperative sensing can significantly improve the sensing accuracy as compared to local sensing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, a large number of cooperative secondary users (SUs) reporting their local detection results to the fusion center (FC) would cause much overhead, such as sensing delay and energy consumption. In this paper, we propose a fast cooperative sensing scheme, called double threshold fusion (DTF), to reduce the sensing overhead while satisfying a given sensing accuracy requirement. In DTF, FC respectively compares the number of successfully received local decisions and that of failed receptions with two different thresholds to make a final decision in each reporting sub-slot during a sensing process, where cooperative SUs sequentially report their local decisions in a selective fashion to reduce the reporting overhead. By jointly considering sequential detection and selective reporting techniques in DTF, the overhead of cooperative sensing can be significantly reduced. Besides, we study the performance optimization problems with different objectives for DTF and develop three optimum fusion rules accordingly. Simulation results reveal that DTF shows evident performance gains over an existing scheme.

In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system(DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. Thus these features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment.For the purpose of applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B lymphocyte(B cell), each environmental condition as an antigen, and a behavior strategy as an antibody respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental codintion changes, a robot select an appropriate beharior stategy. And its behavior stategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communiation. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based on clonal selection and idotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm stragegy.

In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control(T-cell modeling) and selection of group behavior strategy(B-cell modeling) based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system(DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. Thus these features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment. For the purpose of applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B cell, each environmental condition as an antigen, a behavior strategy as an antibody and control parameter as a T-call respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental condition changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy. And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communication. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based of clonal selection and idiotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm strategy. By T-cell modeling, adaptation ability of robot is enhanced in dynamic environments.

Spectrum sensing is an important functionality for cognitive users to look for spectrum holes before taking transmission in dynamic spectrum access model. Unlike previous works that assume perfect knowledge of the SNR of the signal received from the primary user, in this paper we consider a realistic case where the SNR of the primary user's signal is unknown to both fusion center and cognitive radio terminals. A Kalman filter based adaptive Takagi and Sugeno's fuzzy system is designed to make the global spectrum sensing decision based on the observed energies from cognitive users. With the capacity of adapting system parameters, the fusion center can make a global sensing decision reliably without any requirement of channel state information, prior knowledge and prior probabilities of the primary user's signal. Numerical results prove that the sensing performance of the proposed scheme outperforms the performance of the equal gain combination based scheme, and matches the performance of the optimal soft combination scheme.

In this paper, we propose an efficient decision rule in order to get better chance to detect the unused spectrum assigned to a licensed user and improve reliability of spectrum sensing performance. Each secondary user receives the signals from the licensed user. And the resulting signals input to an energy detector. Then, each sensing result is combined and used to make a decision whether the primary user is present at the licensed spectrum band or not. In order to make the reliable decision, we apply an efficient decision rule that is called as a majority rule in this paper. The simulation results show that spectrum sensing performance with the proposed decision rule is more reasonable and efficient than that with conventional decision rules.

In recent years, for the purpose of solving the problem regarding environment protection and resource saving, certain measures and policies have been promoted to establish a green supply chains (GSC) with material flows from collection of used products to reuse of recycled parts in production of products. In this study, we propose an optimal operation of the GSC while considering the collection incentive of the used products and quality for recycling of used products. Two types of decision-making approaches are used for product quantity, collection incentive of used products and lower limit of quality level of reusable parts in the used products for recycling in the GSC. One is the decision-making under an independent policy in decentralized supply chains where a retailer and a manufacturer make decisions so as to maximize profits individually. The other is the decision-making under a cooperative policy in centralized supply chains where a retailer and a manufacturer make decisions cooperatively so as to maximize the whole system's profit. Additionally, we also discuss supply chain coordination as a manufacturer-retailer partnership based on profit sharing. Furthermore, we show the effect of the quality of the reusable parts on the optimal decisions. The collection incentive of the used products was found to bring more profitability to the GSC activity.

협력 스펙트럼 감지(cooperative spectrum sensing) 방식은 지역적으로 분산되어 있는 다수의 부 사용자들이 협력하여 스펙트럼 감지를 수행하는 방법으로, 페이딩으로 인한 검파 성능의 손실을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 지금까지 협력 스펙트럼 감지에 관해 발표된 대부분의 연구 결과들은 부 사용자들의 스펙트럼 감지 결정이 통계적으로 서로 독립이라는 가정에 기초한 것이다. 그러나 실제 환경에서는 음영 효과(shadowing effect)로 인해 서로 가까이에 위치한 부 사용자들의 감지 결정(decision)들은 상관 관계(correlation)를 가질 수 있다. 이런 요인이 협력 스펙트럼 감지 방식의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 주 사용자(primary user)가 활동할 때는 서로 다른 부 사용자 2명의 스펙트럼 감지 결정 사이에 일정한 통계적 상관도(correlation)가 존재하고, 활동하지 않는 경우에는 통계적으로 독립인 것으로 CR 시스템 환경을 설정한 후, 통계적 상관도에 따라 전송 용량(throughput)이 어떻게 변화하는 지를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 부 사용자들의 스펙트럼 감지 결정 사이의 상관 계수가 커질수록 OR 융합 규칙을 사용하는 경우에는 전송 용량이 줄어들은 반면 AND 융합 규칙을 사용하는 경우는 전송 용량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

인지 라디오가 무선통신을 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서, 가장 좋은 주파수 대역을 얻기 위해 수행해야 할 중요한 기능은 스펙트럼을 검출하고 결정하는 것이다. 이러한 것들은 서로 다른 요구조건을 갖는 사용자들이나 서로 다른 특성들을 갖는 채널들이 존재하는 이종 네트워크에서 더욱 나빠진다. 본 연구의 주요한 목적은 이종 인지 무선 네트워크에서 새로운 스펙트럼 결정 알고리즘을 설계하고 분석한다. 이것을 위해, 우선 인지 사용자들을 그들이 요구하는 서비스 품질(QoS)에 따라 서로 다른 트래픽 클래스들로 분류한다. 중앙 집중형 제어 형태로 동작하는 그룹단위의 협력 스펙트럼 검출은 하나의 트래픽 클래스내의 사용자들에 의해서 검출과정이 수행되며, 이 센싱 결과들은 나머지 트래픽 사용자들과 공유하는 형태이다. 다음은 사용자 요구조건들과 검출된 스펙트럼 채널 특성들에 따라 최적의 사용 가능한 대역을 선택하기 위해 계층 분석법(AHP)을 사용한다. 또한 스펙트럼 결정 알고리즘으로 효용함수를 사용한다. 시뮬레이션 분석 결과로서, 제안된 시스템은 가장 좋은 이용 가능한 스펙트럼 채널들을 효율적으로 선택할 수 있음을 보여주며, 시스템 구성의 복잡성을 감소시켜 줄 수 있음을 보여준다.

Recently, autonomous vehicles have been studied actively. Autonomous vehicles can detect objects around them using their on board sensors, estimate collision probability and maneuver to avoid colliding with objects. Many algorithms are suggested to prevent collision avoidance. However there are limitations of complex and diverse environments because algorithm uses only the information of attached environmental sensors and mainly depends on TTC (time-to-Collision) parameter. In this paper, autonomous driving algorithm using I2V communication-based cooperative sensing information is developed to cope with complex and diverse environments through sensor fusion of objects information from infrastructure camera and object information from equipped sensors. The cooperative sensing based autonomous driving algorithm is implemented in autonomous shuttle bus and the proposed algorithm proved to be able to improve the autonomous navigation technology effectively.
