NoC 기반 시스템이 적용되는 설계는 시스템 크기가 커짐에 따라 칩 테스트 문제도 동시에 제기 되고 있다. 이에 따라 NoC 기반의 시스템의 테스트 시간을 줄일 수 있는 internal test 방식의 새로운 BIST(Built-in Self-Test) 구조에 관한 연구를 하였다. 기존의 NoC 기반 시스템의 BIST 테스트 구조는 각각의 router와 core에 BIST logic과 random pattern generator로 LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register)을 사용하여 연결하는 individual 방식과 하나의 BIST logic과 LFSR을 사용하여 각각의 router와 core에 병렬로 연결하는 distributed 방식을 사용한다. 이때, LFSR에서 생성된 테스트 벡터가 router에 사용되는 FIFO 메모리를 통과하면서 생기는 테스트 타임 증가를 줄이기 위하여 shift register 형태의 FIFO 메모리를 변경하였다 제안된 방법에서 테스트 커버리지 98%이상을 달성하였고, area overhead면에서 효과를 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, we present implementation of backward movement control of truck-trailer vehicles using a fuzzy mode-based control scheme considering practical constraints and computational overhead. We propose a fuzzy feedback controller where output is predicted with the delay of a unit sampling period. Analysis and design of the proposed controller is very easy, because it is synchronized with sampling time. Stability analysis is also possible when quantization exists in the implementation of fuzzy control architectures, and we show that if the trivial solution of the fuzzy control system without quantization is asymptotically stable, then the solutions of the fuzzy control system with quantization are uniformly ultimately bounded. Experimental results using a toy truck show that the proposed control system outperforms a conventional system.

This paper focuses on codebook-based precoding for space-division multiple access/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SDMA-OFDMA) systems aiming to guarantee high throughput for their users as well as to mitigate interference to fixed satellite service (FSS). A systematic design of SDMA codebook for subband-based OFDMA is proposed, which forms multiple orthogonal beams with common spatial null in the direction of a victim FSS earth station (ES). The design enables both transmitter and receiver to independently construct identical codebook by sharing only on the direction angle of an FSS ES, which takes fewer overhead bits than Gram-Schmidt process, a general method satisfying our design criterion. A system-level throughput evaluation shows that the proposed precoding provides superior performance over existing spectrum sharing method, that is, subband deactivation. The spectrum sharing analysis shows that the proposed precoding, even with an estimation error of the direction angles of an FSS ES, causes lower interference than existing precoding, knockdown precoding.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.

In this study, we propose a limited feedback-based frequency divided group beamforming with sparse space-frequency transmit diversity coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system for ultrareliable low latency communication (URLLC) scenario. The proposed scheme has several advantages over the traditional hybrid beamforming approach, including not requiring downlink channel state information for baseband precoding, supporting distributed multipoint transmission structures for diversity, and reducing beam sweeping latency with little uplink overhead. These are all positive aspects of physical layer characteristics intended for URLLC. It is suggested in the system to manage the multipoint transmission structure realized by distributed panels using a power allocation method based on cooperative game theory. Link-level simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme offers reliability by achieving both higher diversity order and array gain in a nonline-of-sight channel of selectivity and limited spatial scattering.

In this paper, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on limited feedback to overcome the effects of inter-cell interference in multi-cell environment. The goal of this study is to improve a performance of cell-edge area significantly affected by the inter-cell interference and also to guarantee a performance of the entire system. Existing coordinated scheduling and beamforming based on the perfect channel state information generates an overhead for the channel state information feedback and exchange at the users and base stations, respectively. In this study, first we propose a novel codebook to obtain a null space of an interference channel efficiently which can be used to reduce the inter-cell interference. Using the proposed codebook, we propose coordinated scheduling and beamforming to improve the performance of cell-edge area and the entire system. Through the proportional fair scheduling, the performance of the proposed technique is shown as improvement of channel capacity for users located cell-edge area and entire system.

In this two-part paper, we consider dynamic resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA). To reduce the reverse link overhead for channel quality information(CQI) feedback, a set of sub-carriers are tied up to a sub-channel to be used as the unit of CQI feedback, user-multiplexing and the corresponding power/rate allocation. Specifically, we focus on two sub-channel structures, either aggregated or distributed, where the SNR distribution over a sub-channel is modeled as Ricean in general, and the channel quality of a sub-channel is summarized as the mean and variance of channel gain envelop divided by noise standard deviation. Then, we develop a generalized two step channel/resource allocation algorithm, which uses the two statistical measurements, and analyze the spectral efficiency of the OFDMA system in terms of average frequency utilization. An extension to proportional fair algorithm will also be addressed. As confirmed by numerical results, the aggregated structure is preferred especially when intending aggressive link adaptation.

This paper proposes a new reseeding methodology using a variable-rank multiple-polynomial linear feedback shift register (MP-LFSR). In the proposed reseeding scheme, a test cube with large number of specified bits is encoded with a high-rank polynomial, while a test cube with a small number of specified bits is encoded with a low-rank polynomial. Therefore, according to the number of specified bits in each test cube, the size of the encoded data can be optimally reduced. A variable-rank MP-LFSR can be implemented with a slight modification of a conventional MP-LFSR and Multiple Polynomial can be represented by adding just 1 bit to encoding data. The experimental results on the largest ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits show that the proposed methodology can provide much better encoding efficiency than the previous methods with adequate hardware overhead.

ECMA-392 is the first cognitive radio (CR) specification for personal/portable devices in TV white space. It supports two transmit antennas, for which only open-loop transmit diversity schemes are included. In this paper, we design a simple closed-loop transmit diversity scheme using sub-carrier grouping for ECMA-392 systems. First, sub-carrier grouping types suitable for ECMA-392 systems are described, and then a transmit antenna selection scheme is proposed. In order to reduce feedback information, decision on the transmit antenna selection in the given channel environments is made at the receiver side and the only index of the decided transmit antenna is sent to the transmit side. Through performance comparison to open-loop transmit diversity schemes of ECMA-392, it will be shown that with only a slight feedback overhead, the proposed scheme can improve receiver performance of ECMA-392 systems.

Multi-user Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) has potential for prominently enhancing the capacity of wireless network by simultaneously transmitting to multiple users. User selection is an unavoidable problem which bottlenecks the gain of MU-MIMO to a great extent. Major state-of-the-art works are focusing on improving network throughput by using Channel State Information (CSI), however, the overhead of CSI feedback becomes unacceptable when the number of users is large. Some work does well in balancing tradeoff between complexity and achievable throughput but is lack of consideration of fairness. Current works universally ignore the rational utilizing of time resources, which may lead the improvements of network throughput to a standstill. In this paper, we propose TOUSE, a scalable and fair user selection scheme for MU-MIMO. The core design is dynamic-time-warping-based user selection mechanism for downlink MU-MIMO, which could make full use of concurrent transmitting time. TOUSE also presents a novel data-rate estimation method without any CSI feedback, providing supports for user selections. Simulation result shows that TOUSE significantly outperforms traditional contention-based user selection schemes in both throughput and fairness in an indoor condition.
