This paper evaluates the equalization performance of FC-MMA adaptive equalization algorithm by the fixed step size that is used for the minimization of the intersymbol interference which occurs in the time dispersive communication channel. The FC-MMA has a fast convergence speed in order to adapts the new environment more rapidly in case of the time varying charateristics and the abnormal situation like as outage of the communication channel. But the algorithms operates in adative method, convegence speed is depend on fixed step size for adaptation. For this situation, its performance was evaluated by changing the step size value, the residual isi and maximum distortion and MSE performance index which means the convergence characteristics are widely adapted in the adaptive equalizer, SER were applied. As a result of computer simulation, the large step size can improves the convergence speed for reaching the steady state, but has a poor performance compared to small step size in residual values after steady state. The research result shows that the FC-MMA algorithm is applied the large step size for rapidly reaching the steady state in initial time, then adjust the small step size after reaching the steady state for reducing the residual values for equalization.

Wireless Mesh Networks aim to attain large connectivity with minimum performance degradation, as network size is increase. As such, scalability is one of the main characteristics of Wireless Mesh Networks that differentiates it from other wireless networks. This characteristic creates the need for bandwidth efficiency strategies to ensure that network performance does not degrade as the size of the network increase. Several researches have been done to realize mesh networks. However, the researches conducted were mostly focused on a per TCP/IP layer basis. Also, the studies on bandwidth efficiency and bandwidth improvement are usually dealt with as separate issues. This paper aims to simultaneously study bandwidth efficiency and improvement. Aside from optimizing the bandwidth given a fixed capacity, the capacity is also increased using results of physical layer studies. In this paper, the capacity is improved by using the concept of non-overlapping channels for wireless communication. A channel allocation scheme is conceptualized to choose the transmission channel that would optimize the network performance parameters with consideration of chosen Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Network utility maximization is used to optimize the bandwidth after channel selection. Furthermore, a routing scheme is proposed using the results of the network utilization method and the channel allocation scheme to find the optimal path that would maximize the network gain.

Combined optical simulation of the ray-tracing technique and the finite difference time domain method was used to investigate the effect of the emitter orientation and the photonic crystal layer on the outcoupling efficiency (OCE) of bottom-emission type organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The OLED with a horizontal emitter exhibited an opposite interference effect to that of one with a vertical emitter, which suggested that the OCE would be very sensitive to the emitter orientation at a fixed emitter-cathode distance. The OLED with a horizontal emitter exhibited much larger OCE than that with a vertical emitter did, which was due to the substantial difference in the radiation pattern along with the different coupling with the surface plasmon excitation. The OCE with a horizontal emitter was increased by approximately 1.3 times by inserting a photonic crystal layer between the indium tin oxide layer and the glass substrate. The present study suggested that appropriate control of the emitter orientation and its combination to other outcoupling structures could be used to enhance the OCE of OLEDs substantially.

Flutter is a dangerous phenomenon encountered in flexible structures subjected to aerodynamic forces. This includes aircraft, helicopter blades, engine rotors, buildings and bridges. Flutter occurs as a result of interactions between aerodynamic, stiffness and inertia forces on a structure. The conventional method for designing a rotor blade to be free from flutter instability throughout the helicopter's flight regime is to design the blade so that the aerodynamic center (AC), elastic axis (EA) and center of gravity (CG) are coincident and located at the quarter-chord. While this assures freedom from flutter, it adds constraints on rotor blade design which are not usually followed in fixed wing design. Periodic Structures have been in the focus of research for their useful characteristics and ability to attenuate vibration in frequency bands called "stop-bands". A periodic structure consists of cells which differ in material or geometry. As vibration waves travel along the structure and face the cell boundaries, some waves pass and some are reflected back, which may cause destructive interference with the succeeding waves. In this work, we analyze the flutter characteristics of a helicopter blades with a periodic change in their sandwich material using a finite element structural model. Results shows great improvements in the flutter forward speed of the rotating blade obtained by using periodic design and increasing the number of periodic cells.

QoS in the proxy system are under heavy influence from interferences such as congestion, latency, and retransmission. Also, multi-level streaming services affects from temporal synchronization, which lead to degrade the service quality. This paper proposes a new segment-based buffer management mechanism which reduces performance degradation of streaming services and enhances throughput of streaming due to drawbacks of the proxy system. The proposed paper optimizes streaming services by: 1) Use of segment-based buffer management mechanism, 2) Minimization of overhead due to congestion and interference, and 3) Minimization of retransmission due to disconnection and delay. This paper utilizes fuzzy value $\mu$ and cost weight $\omega$ to process the result. The simulation result shows that the proposed mechanism has better performance in buffer cache control rate, average packet loss rate, and delay saving rate with stream relevance metric than the other existing methods of fixed segmentation method, pyramid segmentation method, and skyscraper segmentation method.

Several types of electrical artifact seen on electroencephalogram( EEG) records are described. Those are the EOG and the PVC roller pump noise, and so on. An adaptive digital filtering of the electroencephalogram( EEG) is a successful way of suppressing mains interference, but it affects some of the frequency components of the signal, whore artifacts may not be acceptable in some cafes of automatic EEG processing. Thus we studied the method for cancelling these artifacts. This proposed method does not use the reference channel, and is realized by connecting the linear predictor and the fixed FIR filter for the EOG artifact, and by cascading the linear predictor and the noise canceller for the pump artifact. The simulation results illustrate the performances of the proposed method in terms of the capability of interferences suppression. In the results we obtained about 20 dB noise reduction.

As the number of signal sources with low detectability by using various modulation techniques increases, research to classify signal modulation methods is steadily progressing. Recently, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) deep learning technique using FFT as a preprocessing process has been proposed to improve the performance of received signal classification in signal interference or noise environments. However, due to the characteristics of the FFT in which the window is fixed, it is not possible to accurately classify the change over time of the detection signal. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a CNN model that has high resolution in the time domain and frequency domain and uses wavelet transform as a preprocessing process that can express various types of signals simultaneously in time and frequency domains. It has been demonstrated that the proposed wavelet transform method through simulation shows superior performance regardless of the SNR change in terms of accuracy and learning speed compared to the FFT transform method, and shows a greater difference, especially when the SNR is low.

In a large corpus-based speech synthesizer, a break, which is a parameter influencing the naturalness and intelligibility, is used as an important feature during a unit selection process. Japanese is a language having intonations, which ate indicated by the relative differences in pitch heights and the APs(Accentual Phrases) are placed according to the changes of the accents while a break occurs on a boundary of the APs. Although a break can be predicted by using J-ToBI(Japanese-Tones and Break Indices), which is a rule-based or statistical approach, it is very difficult to predict a break exactly due to the flexibility. Therefore, in this paper, a method is to conduct a unit search by dividing breaks into two types, such as a fixed break and a flexible break, in order to use the advantages of a large-scale corpus, which includes various types of prosodies. As a result of an experiment, the proposed unit selection method contributed itself to enhance the naturalness of synthesized speeches.

In this paper the performance of a closed-loop power control scheme using variable step size decision method for DS/CDMA based-low earth orbit(LEO) mobile satellite systems in which the long round trip delay is a dominant performance degradation factor is evaluated. Because there are fundamental differences in the characteristics between the LEO mobile satellite channel and terrestrial mobile channel, such as long round trip delay and different elevation angle, these factors are considered in channel modeling based on the European Space Agency(ESA) measurement data. Since the round trip delay (from the mobile terminal to the gateway station via satellite) is typically 10∼20ms in low altitude satellite channels, closed-loop power control is much less effective than it is on a terrestrial channel. Thus, the adaptive power control scheme using a variable step size control is essential for overcoming the long round trip delay and fading due to the elevation angle. It is shown that the standard deviation of signal to interference ratio(SIR) adopting a variable step size closed-loop power control scheme is much less than that of a fixed step size closed-loop power control. Furthermore, we have driven the conclusion that the measurement interval of power control commands is optimal choice when it is twice the round trip delay.

In this paper, a mathematical formulation of protection ratio and its calculation method are suggested for a radio relay system with diversity techniques. The analysis of protection ratio and its physical meaning have been performed for the space or frequency diversity system, and in particular protection ratios are reviewed in terms of the parameters of diversity improvement factor, which comprises antenna gain, separation distance between antennas, frequency and its difference between carriers, and distance. As one of simulated results, the co-channel protection ratio of 60 dB is obtained for the space diversity system regarding 6.2 GHz, 60 km, 64-QAM, and 25 m between antennas, which gives 15 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of the non-space diversity system. In addition, the co-channel protection ratio for the frequency diversity system gives 64 dB in case of frequency offset of 0.5 GHz under the same conditions as the space diversity system, which brings about 11 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of non-frequency diversity system. In consequency, it is interesting to note that the space diversity system is less sensitive to interference in comparison to the frequency diversity system and provides better quality of service for a given interference.
