In this paper, we propose a novel spectrum sensing scheme based on sensing time partitioning for cognitive radio systems in high traffic environments. Specifically, we partition a sensing time into K sub-sections, and then, propose a spectrum sensing scheme that determines if a primary user signal is present based on the sensing results on the partitioned sub-sections. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes in high traffic environments.

Physical housing environments of the rural area including houses and its connected facilities have much changed for decades. Such changes had an effect on the landscape of the rural area to much extent. As houses were renovated or rebuilt in rural area, the landscape were also remade. It could be expected that these changes of the physical housing environments are related with both urban developments and demands of the rural area itself. Thus, some rural areas in Gyeonggi province as the most related cases with urban area were chosen for a case study. On the methodology of the landscape assessment, the landscape factors related with housing environments were reviewed and some connected queistions were also interviewed. Landscape Assessment should include various social and cultural aspects, but in this thesis the visible factors are integrated. So considering many support policy oriented for physical investment and improving in rural areas, landscape assessment and interpretation are very helpful and meaningful.

Voice activity detection (VAD) is important in many areas of speech processing technology. Speech/nonspeech discrimination in noisy environments is a difficult task because the feature parameters used for the VAD are sensitive to the surrounding environments. Thus the VAD performance is severely degraded at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). In this paper, a new VAD algorithm is proposed based on the degree of voicing and Quantile SNR (QSNR). These two feature parameters are more robust than other features such as energy and spectral entropy in noisy environments. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is evaluated under the diverse noisy environments in the Aurora2 DB. According to out experiment, the proposed VAD outperforms the ETSI Advanced Frontend VAD.

This paper deals with problems of safe and efficient navigation algorithm for autonomous mobile robots in unknown environments. Since the obstacle avoidance algorithms are very important in mobile robot navigation, two obstacle avoidance algorithms: VFH(vector field histogram) algorithm and a fuzzy algorithm are combined to have optimal performance in various environments. And a upper-level supervisor is to select the proper one from VFH algorithm and the fuzzy algorithm according to the situations the robot faces. Computer simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed navigation algorithm for autonomous mobile robots.

The current study addresses the local buckling analysis of an infinite thin rectangular symmetrically laminated composite plate restrained by a tensionless Winkler foundation and subjected to uniform in-plane shear loading. An analytic method (i.e., one-dimensional mathematical method) is used to achieve the analytical solution estimate of the contact buckling coefficient. In addition, to study the effect of ply angle and foundation stiffness on the critical buckling coefficients for the laminated composite plates, the parametric studies are implemented. Moreover, the convergence for finite element (FE) mesh is analysed, and then the examples in the parametric study are validated by the FE analysis. The results show that the FE analysis has a good agreement with the analytical solutions. Finally, an example with the analytical solution and FE analysis is presented to demonstrate the availability and feasibility of the presented analytical method.

In this paper, we analyzed the error rate performance of convolution coded 16 QAM signal in impulsive noise Environments. We used convolution code and selective combining diversity for performance improvement. We analyzed the error rate performance of 16 QAM signal in impulsive noise environments compared with gaussian noise environments. As a result of analysis, there is a BER segment where the efficiency of system does not improve until which limit to raise a signal power potential from impulsive noise environment. when the signal power potential which goes over this limit is supplied, BER efficiency improve much more.

The urban railway system is a convenient public transportation system, as it carries many people without increasing traffic congestion. However, air quality in urban railway environments is worse than ambient air quality due to the internal location of the source of air pollutants and the isolated space. In this paper, characteristics of particulate matter (PM) pollution in urban railway environments are described from the perspective of diurnal variation, chemical composition and source apportionment of PM. PM concentrations in concourse, platform, passenger cabin, and tunnel are summarized through an analysis of 34 journal articles published in Korea and overseas. This information will be helpful in developing effective policies to reduce PM pollution in urban railway environments.

This paper describes the use of a highly interactive and inter-operative application for complex simulation environments, or Synthetic Environments (SE), as deployed for construction as Construction Synthetic Environments (CSE). Based on the High Level Architecture (HLA), this research focuses on implementing simulation technology in a software environment, COSYE, that will be the foundation for building CSE applications. This framework is discussed in the context of tunneling and industrial construction applications, including steel fabrication and pipe-spool manufacture. The framework is demonstrated using the NEST sanitary tunnel project in Edmonton, Canada, in which COSYE was used for scenario-based analysis and planning.

The importance of indoor positioning has grown in numerous application areas such as emergency response, logistics, and industrial automation. In ships, indoor positioning is also needed to provide services to passengers on board. Due to the complex structure and dynamic nature of ship environments, conventional positioning techniques have limitations in providing accurate positions. Compared to other indoor positioning technologies, Bluetooth 5.1-based indoor positioning technology is highly suitable for ship environments. Bluetooth 5.1 attains centimeter-level positioning accuracy by collecting In-phase and Quadrature (IQ) samples from wireless signals. However, distorted IQ samples can lead to significant errors in the final estimated position. Therefore, we propose an indoor positioning method for ships that utilizes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) combined with IQ fingerprint maps to overcome the challenges associated with accurate location detection within the ship. The results indicate that the accuracy of our proposed method can reach up to 97.76%.

In this paper, the path loss in domestic terrain environments for IMT-2000 are measured and considered. Domestic terrain environments are classified and received power is measured at 1.9201GHz. In addition, the Path loss is calculated with consideration of the radiation pattern of antennas based on the results of measurement. For the consideration of path loss in domestic terrain environments, each path loss are fitted with the same slope of a reference model as "COST-231 HATA Urban Model", and then both are compared. As a result, all of the path loss in domestic terrain environments are lower than the path loss of a reference model as "COST-231 HATA Urban Model". We found that a difference of path loss in domestic terrain environments and a reference model is 5dB in urban, 8dB in sparse urban, 12dll in dense suburban, 13dB in suburban, 19dB in sparse suburban, and 29dB in road.
