To reaffirm the use of a mainstream CMOS process for designing passive-like attenuator structures, a linearly controlled variable attenuator is realized with 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ 2-poly 4-metal CMOS process. It uses the П configuration for large attenuation range and suitable matching property. Compared to conventional passive-like CMOS attenuators, it is demonstrated that this work advances the frequency band from MHz to ㎓ (DC- l㎓), and reduces the size to 700${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$${\times}$300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.. Both simulation results and test results are provided. They show the improved linear relation between attenuation and control voltage. It is very useful in CDMA or GSM band, which uses under 1㎓ frequency band. An alternative topology, Bridged-T configuration, is proposed to get over the limit of applications by elevating operation bandwidth. The proposed topology covers over DC-2㎓ frequency band, which means that the proposed architecture can cover the tripleband (800MHz CDMA/GSM, 1.5㎓ GPS, 1.9㎓z PCS system) in applications as well. The simulation results are provided.

In this paper, we propose the global handover mechanism that is able to provide the unlimited range of next-generation multimedia mobile services in an integrated environment. This mechanism consists of a multicast source based forwarding scheme and a global session management scheme. Global session management scheme provides LMA session information management, global mobility and route optimization. Multicast source based forwarding scheme delivers data between previously attached LMA and newly attached LMA without packet loss. In addition, this scheme removes the redundancy of buffered data. We present a performance evaluation and features analysis by the simulations using the ns-2. Global session management scheme has a less handover latency, propagation delay and signaling cost than the conventional methods. Multicast source based forwarding scheme can deliver buffer data without loss and it has less buffer size than conventional method.

This paper deals with damage detection using a Gapped Smoothing Method (GSM) combined with deep learning. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a model of deep learning. CNN has an input layer, an output layer, and a number of hidden layers that consist of convolutional layers. The input layer is a tensor with shape (number of images) × (image width) × (image height) × (image depth). An activation function is applied each time to this tensor passing through a hidden layer and the last layer is the fully connected layer. After the fully connected layer, the output layer, which is the final layer, is predicted by CNN. In this paper, a complete machine learning system is introduced. The training data was taken from a Finite Element (FE) model. The input images are the contour plots of curvature gapped smooth damage index. A free-free beam is used as a case study. In the first step, the FE model of the beam was used to generate data. The collected data were then divided into two parts, i.e. 70% for training and 30% for validation. In the second step, the proposed CNN was trained using training data and then validated using available data. Furthermore, a vibration experiment on steel damaged beam in free-free support condition was carried out in the laboratory to test the method. A total number of 15 accelerometers were set up to measure the mode shapes and calculate the curvature gapped smooth of the damaged beam. Two scenarios were introduced with different severities of the damage. The results showed that the trained CNN was successful in detecting the location as well as the severity of the damage in the experimental damaged beam.

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a multi-band folded monopole antenna for mobile handsets that can be used for multiple services. The proposed antenna, with a small size of $28.060{\times}12.665{\times}5.035mm^3$ can provide sufficient bandwidth to cover the GSM900 (Global System for Mobile Communications: 880-960 MHz), DCS (Digital Cellular System: 1710-1880 MHz), K-PCS (Korea-Personal Communication Service: 1750-1870 MHz), Wibro (2300-2390 MHz) and Bluetooth (2400-2483 MHz) bands.

3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) is defining UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) releases which span the transition from GSM/UMTS coexistence to All-IP UMTS networks. The deployment of an UMTS network depends, in the first place, on the intended service offerings and the release an operator chooses to start service with. Other key decisions in-fluencing UMTS deployment relate to the timing of the functional enhancements and capacity increases along the economic life of the network. This paper gives an overview on the architectural and technical options for UMTS deployment. It also outlines the methodology underlying the business plan aimed at estimating the returns from investments in the UMTS infrastructure, thus helping to tune operators’ strategies for UMTS deployment.

차량 내부 네트워크는 LIN, CAN, FlexRay와 같은 제어 네트워크와 MOST와 같은 멀티미디어 네트워크가 있으며 이 내부 네트워크와 연결해 서비스를 사용하는 RF 통신으로는 대표적으로 블루투스, GSM, NFC가 있다. 그러나 능동 안전 시스템과 같은 지능형 기술의 지속적인 도입과 기계, 유압식 기기의 전자화에 따른 네트워크상의 통신량이 급격히 증가하면서 네트워크의 규모 및 통신 복잡도 등이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 차량 내/외부 네트워크의 최적화, 최소화 문제가 반드시 해결되어야하는 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 또한 이러한 통신환경이 갖추어진 이후에도 무선통신 기술의 성능향상 및 통신기술과 응용 서비스 분야와의 연계, 그리고 통신서비스를 위한 사업 모델 개발이 요구되는 등 앞으로 해결 해야하는 문제는 여전히 많이 남아 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 지능형 자동차의 RF 통신서비스에서 발생할 수 있는 지능형자동차의 보안위협 요소를 분석하고자 한다.

The increased demand on the transport of both passengers and goods through rail systems implies higher traffic intensity and congestion on the railways, resulting in greater likelihood of accidents and also degraded passenger services. To cope with the issues, development of an integrated communication network for rails has attracted great deal of attention lately. GSM-R is such an example developed in Europe, which seems to have restrictions in providing various communication services due to network speed limit. For the reason, an LTE-based approach is under study in Korea. After the network development, operation management of the network is necessary. Design of operation management systems has been studied little and thus is the objective of this paper. To do so, a conceptual design has been carried out based on model-based approach. Specifically, a context model has first been created using the use case diagram. Then, SysML models of operational scenarios were developed for the management system. The SysML models have alternatively been expressed as EFFBD models to simulate and verify them. Consequently, the result of the conceptual system design for the operation management of the integrated wireless network is expected to be used as a basis for the detailed design later.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea has been trying to spread integrated railway communication network technologies based on a major railway policy since 2012. As a result, the world's first commercial Long-Term Evolution - Railway (LTE-R) network was established on the Gangneung line (Manjong station - Gangneung station) and has been commercially operating as a railway communication system since 2017. Special function and performance requirements are needed for safe and efficient railway operations, such as group calls, emergency calls, functional addressing, and train control based on wireless communications. In this paper, we present functional and performance railway communications requirements that are based on European wireless railway communications systems. In addition, we measured communications characteristics and performance using a KTX field test on the Gangneung line to analyze the validity and reliability of the LTE-R network. Although the average Radio Frequency (RF) conditions were satisfied in the requirements, we found sudden communications quality degradation, such as Radio Link Failure (RLF) in some railway sections. We propose a way to improve performance and network installations based on in-depth analysis of LTE-R communications field-test results.
