Smart Dynamic Pricing has been introduced to address the under-utilised network resources problem in mobile telecommunications systems. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of Smart Dynamic Pricing and its signalling models into Cognitive Radio Systems. Cognitive Radio System is defined as one in which cognitive radios are employed to access shared spectrum and/or dynamically allocated spectrum. Network elements, protocols, traffic and control channels, and system architecture are proposed for the implementation of Smart Dynamic Pricing in Cognitive Radio System. It is found that Smart Dynamic Pricing and its signalling models can be applied to Cognitive Radio Systems.

3GPP는 HSPA와 같은 라디오 액세스 기술의 개선을 바탕으로 다가오는 수 년 동안 높은 경쟁력을 가질 것으로 예측된다. 그러나 3GPP에서는 급속히 발전되는 정보통신서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해, 3GPP R6 기술과 비교하여 사용자와 사업자의 비용을 줄이면서도 고품질의 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 새로운 이동통신기술의 필요성을 인식하고, 낮은 전송 지연(low latency), 높은 전송률(high data rate), 시스템 용량과 커버리지를 개선하는 3G long term evolution 표준기술 작성을 시작하였다. 이에 따라 지난 2004년 말부터 3GPP에 참여한 사업자, 벤더, 연구소 등은 2007년 6월 표준규격작성완료를 목표로 LTE와 SAE에 대한 연구를 진행해 오고 있다. 이들 연구는 상호 운용성을 제공하기 위한 기술적 솔루션을 최소로 하면서 불필요하게 중복되는 필수 특성들을 줄이고 다양한 액세스 네트워크 사이에서 모빌리티를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 문서에서는 2006년 3월까지 진행된 3GPP의 표준화 및 기술 동향에 대해살펴본다.

Objective : We investigated the expression of hippocampal heat shock protein 70 (HSP-70) infarction volume after different durations of experimental ischemic stroke in mice. Methods : Focal cerebral ischemia was induced in mice by occluding the middle cerebral artery with the modified intraluminal filament technique. Twenty-four hours after ischemia induction, both hippocampi were extracted for HSP-70 protein analyses. Slices from each hemisphere were stained with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (2%), and infarction volumes were calculated. HSP-70 levels were evaluated using western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). HSP-70 subtype (hsp70.1, hspa1a, hspa1b) mRNA levels in the hippocampus were measured using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results : Cerebral infarctions were found ipsilateral to the occlusion in 10 mice exposed to transient ischemia (5 each in the 30-min and 60-min occlusion groups), whereas no focal infarctions were noted in any of the sham mice. The average infarct volumes of the 2 ischemic groups were $22.28{\pm}7.31mm^3$ [30-min group${\times}$standard deviation (SD)] and $38.06{\pm}9.53mm^3$ (60-min group${\times}$SD). Western blot analyses and ELISA showed that HSP-70 in hippocampal tissues increased in the infarction groups than in the sham group. However, differences in HSP-70 levels between the 2 infarction groups were statistically insignificant. Moreover, RT-PCR results demonstrated no relationship between the mRNA expression of HSP-70 subtypes and occlusion time or infarction volume. Conclusion : Our results indicated no significant difference in HSP-70 expression between the 30- and 60-min occlusion groups despite the statistical difference in infarction volumes. Furthermore, HSP-70 subtype mRNA expression was independent of both occlusion duration and cerebral infarction volume.

Recent exploration of smart-phone user is fueling the deployment of long term evolution (LTE) service that offers higher data rates service over 3G HSPA networks. In particular, Korea, mobile powerhouse, recently launched the service of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) which is the latest release in LTE standard. Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology is the one of key enablers for LTE and LTE-A for achieving high data rate. MIMO technology has received much attention since it is possible to achieve channel capacity in proportion to the number of antennas without increasing frequency and power. In this paper, we overview of the theoretical background of MIMO technology regarding from single-user MIMO, multiuser MIMO, and massive MIMO and design considerations to implement the communication system.

This paper presents the unified user equipment (UE) baseband modulation and demodulation (modem) hardware platform architecture to support multiple radio access technologies. In particular, this platform selectively supports two systems; one is HEDGE system, which is the combination of third generation partnership project (3GPP) Release 7 high speed packet access evolution (HSPA+) and global system for mobile communication (GSM)/general packet radio service (GPRS)/enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), while the other is LEDGE system, which is the combination of 3GPP Release 8 long term evolution (LTE) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE. This is done by applying the flexible pin multiplexing scheme to a hardwired pin mapping process. On the other hand, to provide stable connection, high portability, and high debugging ability, the stacking structure is employed. Here, a layered board architecture grouped by functional classifications is applied instead of the conventional one flatten board. Based on this proposed configuration, we provide a framework for the verification step in wireless cellular communications. Also, modem function/scenario test and inter-operability test with various base station equipments are verified by system requirements and scenarios.

Voice over IP is a telephone service which sends and receives the voices through the Internet. Because the infrastructure of wireless and mobile communication networks such as 3G, Wi-Fi and WiMAX has expanded, the study about Mobile VoIP, which provides the voice service from wireless network, has been actively in progress. Since Rei 6 HSPA in 3GPP and Rev A lxEVDO in 3GPP2, VoIP through the data channel is more efficient than circuit switch. It is predicted that VoIP over 4G will be more effective and 4G mobile VoIP business will be vitalized in the future. In addition, there are businesses which offer VoWLAN by using software such as Skype and Fring. They provide services which cheapen the price of international calls and long distance calls. This paper will present the Korean and other countries' mobile VoIP trends, its classification along the network connection, the study on techniques, and conditions of mobile VoIP. It also will be described a view of terminal convergence and service convergence.

Although the etiology of schizophrenia is known to be linked with the disturbance of glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission, little is known about the relationship between gene expression and the disease process. To identify genes related to abnormalities in glutamatergic and dopaminergic function, we investigated the effects of olanzapine in the changes of mRNA levels in the animal model of schizophrenia, using a high-density DNA microarray. Olanzapine (3.0 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly reduced hyperlocomotive activities, which was induced by MK-801 (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.). We identified that the expression of 719 genes were significantly altered more than two folds in the prefrontal cortex of the rats treated with MK-801. We selected 15 genes out of them by the changes of the expression pattern in the treatment of Olanzapine and/or MK801 for the further confirmation in RT-PCR. The administration of MK-801 increased the expression of 7 genes (NOS3, Hspb1, Hspa1a, CRH, Serpine1, Igfbp6, Snf1lk) and decreased the expression of 1 gene (Aldh1a2), which was attenuated by olanzapine. One gene (Prss12) was up-regulated after olanzapine treatment although it did not show the significant changes after MK-801 treatment. These results showed that antipsychotic drug, such as olanzapine, may alter the gene expression patterns, which were accompanied by MK-801-induced psychosis. Our results also provide us high-density DNA microarray technology could be potential approaches to find the candidate molecules for the therapeutics and also for the early diagnosis of psychiatric diseases.

Recently, the rapidly increased use of smartphone devices provides both opportunity and problems at the same time to the telecom companies in domestic and world wide. It provides a great opportunity to overcome the market stagnation of the existing voice- centric communications, and also problems of building a highly efficient new wireless access networks to accommodate huge volume of data traffic among smart devices. Facing with the age of keen competition, telecom companies have two kinds of strategies for network transition; a strategy of building uniform LTE -based 4G networks as fast as possible, and a hybrid network enhancement strategy compounding 3G and 4G networks using HSP A+, WiFi, cloud computing, etc. It is difficult to predict which strategy will have more successful outcome in the near future. This paper studies the trends and issues of network enhancement policies and transition strategies to the 4G network era, and tries to draw appropriate and efficient ways for network enhancement and operation.

This monograph details the development of communication UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in combined modems of HSDPA with Wibro by using two kinds of mobile network. In order to apply mobile network which is currently serviced to a UAV, it is necessary to solve some problems : insurance of wide coverage based on the range of the UAV, electrical transmission of extensive image data for UAV for watching and scouting, security of stable communication environment is related to network traffic. This paper proposes those difficulties to be solved by application of correspondence system to mobile network. The proposed system consists of two parts; HSDPA part and Wibro part. The use of those can not only secure wide range of coverage but also transmit huge data. Furthermore, through utilizing them along with two kinds of mobile network, stable communication environment can be built up. All of these effects can be confirmed by experimentations and simulations.
