The maritime traffic is more complex these days. It is more hard for the small fishing ships to navigated in shores. The requirements for the navigate information system to protect the sea environments and support the small fishing ships are more increased. However, the Inmarsat communication system is too burden to the fishermen with the expensive terminal and call fees. We propose the wireless digital fishing information network which use the existing MF/HF SSB communications system by connecting I-PHONE, PDA, NetBook, Notebook, PC, etc with the PSK31 method and AIS(Automatic Identification System) on the MF/HF radio Band.

Recently, the share of wind power in energy markets has sharply increased with the active development of renewable energy internationally. In particular, large-scale wind farms are being developed far from the coast to make use of abundant wind resources and to reduce noise pollution. In addition to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by offshore wind farms to coastal or air surveillance radars, it is necessary to investigate the EMI on global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) communications between ship and coastal stations. For this purpose, this study investigates whether the transmitted field of MF/HF band from a ship would be subject to interference or attenuation below the threshold at a coastal receiver. First, using geographic information system digital maps and 3D CAD models of wind turbines, the area of interest is electromagnetically modeled with patch models. Although high frequency analysis methods like Physical Optics are appropriate to analyze wide areas compared to its wavelength, the high frequency analysis method is first verified with an accurate low frequency analysis method by simplifying the surrounding area and turbines. As a result, the received wave power is almost the same regardless of whether the wind farms are located between ships and coastal stations. From this result, although wind turbines are large structures, the size is only a few wavelengths, so it does not interfere with the electric field of MF/HF distress communications.

해상통신은 인명 안전을 위한 중요 통신으로 국제적으로 보호되어 왔다. 뿐 만 아니라 지구 전역을 커버하기 위해 전송 특성이 좋은 LF/MF/HF대역의 통신시스템 및 위성 시스템이 이용되고 있다. 최근에는 통신 기술의 발달로 육상이동통신 기술을 해상 및 항공에 확대하려는 시도가 꾸준히 진행되고 있다. 통신 기술의 급속한 발전으로 해상 및 항공 통신망은 기존 음성 위주의 통신망에서 멀티미디어를 처리할 수 있는 디지틀망으로의 전환이 시급히 필요하게 되었다. 대부분의 아날로그 시스템은 디지틀 시스템으로 전환되고 있으며 데이터를 이용해서 보다 정확한 정보를 제공해서 해상 안전을 높이고 있으며 기존 개별 장비를 시스템화하여 주파수를 효율적으로 활용하고 사용을 편리하게 할 수 있도록 하고 있다. DSC, AIS 등 이미 많은 디지틀 장비들이 국제 해상 통신에 이용되고 있으며 해상 통신 시스템을 종합화해서 해상안전을 제고하기 위해 IMO를 중심으로 주진 중에 있다. 그러나 연근해 해상 통신 시스템은 SOLAS조약에서 제외되어 있으므로 나라마다 다양하게 개발되고 있다. 특히 연근해에서 중요한 MF/HF/VHF대역 시스템을 각 국이 경쟁하면서 현대화를 추진하고 있으며 ITU-R을 통해서 표준화를 주도하려고 노력하고 있다. 본 고에서는 연근해 핵심 통신망을 구성할 HF/VHF대역 시스템에 대한 기술을 분석하고 기술하였다.

In order to reduce marine accidents using advanced information and communication technology, various research and development projects are conducted globally on e-Navigation related technologies and services. Existing studies do not provide policy measures for LTE-M. In order for these technologies and services to be installed on vessels and to contribute to the prevention of accidents at sea, the law should be expand operational organizations and systems. In particular, communication equipment and related technical standards should be prepared, and its digital communication technology (LTE-M, VDES, Digital-MF / HF, etc.) In this study, we conducted short, medium, and long term performance assessment of the identification system and the policy for effective implementation of Korean e-Navigation. We presented a visible plan of the relevant policy. For example, e-Navigation core services, e-Navigation communication networks and operating systems, e-Navigation international standard leading technologies and e-navigation services activated in the field. To do this, we conducted research based on the progress data of the Korean e-Navigation project, which was led by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and conducted research discussions with practitioners and experts in related fields. As a result of this study, it is expected that the proposed policies will contribute to the reduction of marine accidents, the promotion of the maritime industry and the development of additional government policies for national security.

The Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) system is a digital broadcasting standard designed for use in the LF, MF and HF bands of the broadcasting bands below 30 MHz. The system provides both superior audio quality and improved user services / operability compared with existing AM transmissions. In this paper, we propose a variable point Prime Factor FFT design method for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) system. Proposed method processes a various size IFFT/FFT of Robustness Mode on DRM standard efficiently by composing Radix-Prime Factor FFT Processing Unit of form similar to Radix-4 by insertion of a variable Prime Factor Twiddle Factor and Garbage data. So, we improved limitation that cannot process 112/176/256/288 FFT of each mode of DRM system with a existent Radix Processor and increase memory size and memory access time for IFFT/FFT processing by software processing in case of implementation with a existent high speed DSP.

One of major factors for learning achievement is the student's learning preference according to his character type. In course of learning, if a student studies e-learning contents opposed to his preference, then he would be under stress and his blood pressure and heart beat be changed. For measuring unwillingness, we used spectral components in frequency domain known as stress measure. For 13 children attending kindergarten we examined S(sensing)/ N(intuition) of MBTI and presented same learning contents during 10 minutes. During learning we gathered ECG signals, changed into HRV(heart rate variability), transformed time-varying HRV signal into spectral density in frequency domain. And then, we divided it into three areas of low(LF), middle(MF), and high-frequency(HF) and calculated stress measures by rates of those frequency area. We compared estimated stress measures of S group with them of N group whether students in different group preferred different contents or not. Experimental shows that students according to MBTI type prefer different contents.

The INMARSAT is able to long range maritime communications that can not use for expensive charge in non-SOLAS ship. Therefore, international discussion for the question that replacements use of MF/HF band for maritime distress and safety communications in maritime. HF data communications system may be effectively utilized for SOLAS ships as well as for the existing non-SOLAS vessels including the fishing boats, which navigate A2 and A3 sea areas. The HF data communications may have various functions such as e-mail services, broadcasting services of up-to-date information related to marine safety, position reporting services, polling services etc. However, the present HF e-mail communications protocols have a problem of increasing calling redundancy as the number of channels in operation increases. This paper new protocol and communication sequence proposed in this submission establishes a proper radio link automatically and adaptively by taking channel traffic into account.

In this paper, we analysed the new techniques for maritime mobile communications replacing NBDP in MF/HF bandwidth. Several countries already have contributed to new proposals for new digital systems through international standardization organizations as ITU, IMO and IEC. ITU-R SG8B in ITU reviews the contributed documents and discusses about radio regulations relating new systems. Also COMSAR in IMO reviews member's countries opinions and statues for introducing new techniques and replacing NBDP.
