Partial discharges (PDs) are electrical sparks that occur inside insulation between two conducting electrodes and can lead to the disastrous failure of insulation systems. To determine the location of a PD, a distributed array of UHF PD sensors is used to detect the electromagnetic (EM) signals emitted from the PD source, and the localization of the PD source can be estimated using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between EM signals captured by the UHF PD sensor array. There are four popular methods to estimate the TDOA-the first peak method, the cross-correlation method, the energy criterion method, and the average time window threshold method. In this work, we numerically investigate the influence of noise on estimating the TDOA for the four different methods. Numerical results show that the energy criterion method is more robust against noise than other methods.

Design of location erea(LA) in a cellular network is to partition the network into clusters of cells so as to minimize the cost of location updating and paging. Most research works dealing with the LA design problem assume that the call. arrival rate and mobile flow rate are fixed parameters which can be estimated independently. In this aspect, most Problems addressed so far are deterministic LA design problems(DLADP), known to be NP hard. The mobile flow and call arrival rate are, however, varying with time and should be treated simultaneously because the call arrival rate in a cell during a day is influenced by the change of a population size of the cell. This Paper Presents a new model on IA design problems considering the time-dependent call arrival and mobile flow rate. The new model becomes a stochastic LA design problem(SLADP) because It takes into account the possibility of paging waiting and blocking caused by the changing call arrival rate and finite paging capacity. Un order to obtain the optimal solution of the LA design problem, the SIADP is transformed Into the DLADP by introducing the utilization factor of paging channels and the problem is solved iteratively until the required paging quality is satisfied. Finally, an illustrative example reflecting the metropolitan area, Seoul, is provided and the optimal partitions of a cell structure are presented.

BIS (Bus Information System:버스정보시스템, 이하 BIS)는 시내버스 운행과 관련된 각종 정보를 수집하고 예측알고리즘을 통해 이용객에게 정보를 제공하고 있다. 동일 구간의 최근 정보를 통한 예측방법은 해당 구간의 소통상황을 반영하지만 예측 대상노선의 특성을 반영할 수 없다는 한계가 있다. 해당노선의 동시간대 과거이력자료를 통해 예측하는 방법은 소통상황의 변동성이 큰 첨두시 예측에 한계가 있는 실정이다. 따라서 예측대상 시점의 통행패턴을 인식하고 가장 유사한 과거 시점의 통행패턴을 선택할 수 있는 패턴인식형 버스도착시간 예측 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본연구의 예측 결과를 서울시 BIS 도착예측정보이력과 비교 검증한 결과 각 정류장 간 통행시간의 평균제곱근오차가 비첨두시 약 35초(기존: 40초), 첨두시 약 40초(기존: 60초)로 기존대비 약 10~20 %의 개선을 보였다. 이는 동일 과거 시간대 외의 시간대에 현재 교통상황을 대표할 수 있는 자료가 존재함을 의미한다.

본 논문은 다수의 전자전 센서에서 추출된 시간지연 차이정보와 도플러주파수 차이정보를 이용하는 Two-step weighted least-squares 기반의 이동 신호원 위치 및 속도 추정 기법에서, 수집 정보의 이상치를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 다수의 전자전 센서에서 추출되는 정보는 다양한 요인에 의해 정보에 이상치가 발생할 수 있으며, 이를 효과적으로 검출하고 데이터 융합과정에서 이상치를 배제하여 이동 신호원의 위치와 속도 추정의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 이상치를 제외한 최소의 정상치 정보 집합을 추출하고, 이를 기반으로 나머지 정보의 이상치 여부를 확률적으로 판단하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 이를 모의실험을 통해, 정보의 이상치가 효과적으로 제거되어 위치 및 속도 추정의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다. 정상치 거리정보 잡음이 20dB 이하인 경우, 이상치 정보를 효과적으로 제거하여, Cramér-Rao lower bound에 근접한 위치 및 속도 추정 정확도를 얻음을 확인하였다.

Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is a parameter of the cardiovascular system that is reflected in changes in pulse interval (PD and systolic blood pressure (SBP). BRS contains information about how the autonomic nervous system regulates hemodynamic homeostasis. Normally the beat-to-beat SBP measurement and the pulse interval measured from the electrocardiogram (ECG) are required to estimate the BRS. We investigated the possibility of measuring BRS in the absence of a beat-to-beat SBP measurement device. Pulse arrival time (PAT), defined as the time between the R-peak of the ECG and a single characteristic point on the pulse wave recorded from any arterial location was measured by photoplethysmography. By comparing the BRS obtained from conventional measurements with our method during controlled breathing, we confirmed again that PAT and SBP are closely correlated, with a correlation coefficient of -0.82 to -0.95. The coherence between SBP and PI at a respiration frequency of 0.07-0.12 Hz was similar to the coherence between PAT and PI. Although the ranges and units of measurement are different (ms/mmHg vs. ms/ms) for BRS measured conventionally and by our method, the correlation is very strong. Following further investigation under various conditions, BRS can be reliably estimated without the inconvenient and expensive beat-to-beat SBP measurement.

A new method of measuring pulse arrival time (PAT), which is usually used for the estimation of systolic blood pressure, in an unconstrained manner using a chair, is proposed. The capacitive-coupled ECG (CC-ECG) measurement system and the air cushion with balancing tubes system were used for unconstrained PAT measurement. Firstly, the correlation between the standard PAT (S-PAT) from the photoplethysmography (PPG) and the PAT measured in an unconstrained manner (U-PAT) was evaluated. It was observed that U-PAT, which is the time delay from the R-peak of ECG to the steepest decent point of air cushion pressure wave, is significantly correlated with the S-PAT. Secondly, systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured by the radial tonometer is compared to the U-PAT. The ten-beat averaged U-PAT removed respiration effects and demonstrated a high intra-subject correlation with SBP in all participants. Finally, the tonometry SBP was estimated from these U-PAT values for one participant intermittently during half a day.

This paper aims to estimate the delay time of multiple signals in a multi-path environment. It also seeks to carry out a comparative analysis with the existing delay time under the proposed algorithm to develop a new algorithm that applies the space average method in a MUSIC algorithm. Unlike the existing delay time estimation algorithm, the developed algorithm was able to estimate the delay time in 5ns low. Therefore, the algorithm proposed in this paper improved the existing delay time estimated algorithm.

This paper has its purpose on constructing a prediction model of the arrival sequencing strategy which reflects the actual sequencing patterns of air traffic controllers. As the first step, we analyzed a pair-wise sequencing of two aircraft entering TMA from different entering points. Based on the historical trajectory data, several traffic factors such as time, speed and traffic density were examined for the model. With statistically significant factors, we constructed a prediction model of arrival sequencing through a binary logistic regression analysis. With the estimated coefficients, the performance of the model was conducted through a cross validation.

In the moving target problem, the velocity information of the moving target is very important as well as the high accuracy position information. To solve this problem, active researches are being conducted recently with combine the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Delay of Arrival(FDOA) measurements. However, since the FDOA measurement is utilizing the Doppler effect due to the relative velocity between the target source and the receiver sensor, it may be difficult to use the FDOA measurement if the moving target speed is not sufficiently fast. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the position and the velocities of the target by using only the TDOA measurements for the low speed moving target in the indoor environment with sensor network. First, the target position and heading angle are obtained from the estimated positions of two attached transmitters on the target. Then, the target angular and linear velocities are also estimated. In addtion, we apply the Instrumental Variable (IV) technique to compensate the estimation error of the estimated target velocity. In simulation, the performance of the proposed algorithm is verified.
