Speaker verification determines whether the claimed speaker is accepted based on the score of the test utterance. In recent years, methods based on Gaussian mixture models and universal background model have been the dominant approaches for text-independent speaker verification. These speaker verification systems based on these methods provide very good performance under laboratory conditions. However, in real situations, the performance of speaker verification system is degraded dramatically. For overcoming this performance degradation, the feature recombination method was proposed, but this method had a drawback that whole sub-band feature vectors are used to compute the likelihood scores. To deal with this drawback, a modified feature recombination method which can use each sub-band likelihood score independently was proposed in our previous research. In this paper, we propose a sub-band weighting method based on sub-band signal-to-noise ratio which is combined with previously proposed modified feature recombination. This proposed method reduces errors by 28% compared with the conventional feature recombination method.

In this paper, we propose a multi-band network selection (MNS) system, which determines and seamlessly connects to the desired available communication band based on user preferences and network environments. The MNS system employs MNS server in the middleware layer which communicates with clients in order to combine and manage heterogeneous networks efficiently. In addition, we define a system architecture and function modules of the MNS system. The MNS system monitors availability in each communication band and updates the network status information table which is applied to determining the best available network. It is expected that the MNS system can be applied to the next generation maritime networks and communication infrastructure of e-navigation.

In this paper, we propose out-of -band collaborative spectrum sensing scheme in the cognitive radio (CR) base station operated by the multiple frequency channels. Also this paper presents the signal detection results for ATSC digital TV signal as an incumbent signal and derives signal detection probability and false alarm probability for the out-of-band collaborative spectrum sensing scheme in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results demonstrate that the sensing performance is improved by the out-of-band collaborative spectrum sensing in the case that the incumbent signal powers measured by the CR terminals of the multiple frequency channels are almost similar.

Bluetooth utilizes a symmetric key that is exchanged at the first pairing to establish a secure channel. There are four authentication modes which enables device authentication, Just work, Passkey Entry, Out of Band, and Numeric Comparison. Up to now, Just work has been considered as the authentication mode that is vulnerable to Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) Attack. In addition, it is possible to intentionally change any authentication mode to Just work mode, in order to succeed in MITM Attack under Just work mode. However, this kind of attacks have just worked under the assumption that users should not notice that authentication mode was changed. In this paper, We analyze the specification of Secure Simple Pairing, LE Legacy Pairing and LE Secure Connection Pairing. When using Passkey Entry mode on each approach, it seems the MITM attack is possible. Also it offers Passkey Entry MITM attack that does not require assumptions about the user's fault, because it isn't change verification process of the authentication mode unlike traditional attacks. We implement the proposed MITM attacks. Also we presents a scenario in which an attack can be exploited and a countermeasure.

Recently, based on the human speech recognition (HSR) model of Fletcher, the multi-band speech recognition has been intensively studied by many researchers. As a new automatic speech recognition (ASR) technique, the multi-band speech recognition splits the frequency domain into several sub-bands and recognizes each sub-band independently. The likelihood scores of sub-bands are weighted according to reliabilities of sub-bands and re-combined to make a final decision. This approach is known to be robust under noisy environments. When the noise is stationary a sub-band SNR can be estimated using the noise information in non-speech interval. However, if the noise is non-stationary it is not feasible to obtain the sub-band SNR. This paper proposes the inverse sub-band distance (ISD) weighting, where a distance of each sub-band is calculated by a stochastic matching of input feature vectors and hidden Markov models. The inverse distance is used as a sub-band weight. Experiments on 1500∼1800㎐ band-limited white noise and classical guitar sound revealed that the proposed method could represent the sub-band reliability effectively and improve the performance under both stationary and non-stationary band-limited noise environments.

Non-coherent UWB receivers are promising due to the low hardware complexity while the coherent receiver such as the rake receiver requires the complex hardware to estimate channel characteristics and get the synchronization. In this letter, the block coded modulation scheme as one of the most promising method is enhanced in terms of the performance. The performance enhancement is carried out by the modification of the block structure with unequal frame length for each pulse. Simulation results show that the proposed method has the performance enhancement by the transmission rate or bit error rate.

The gain-clamped EDFA has been developed to eliminate the output power change of WDM surviving channels to occur with added or dropped channels, which degrades the performance of WDM optical network. It maintains the constant gain of surviving channels when WDM channels are added or dropped in a network amplifying node. In this paper, the hi-directionally pumped gain-clamped EDFA is implemented to compensate the change of the input power by a lasing. The results show that the lasing of a short wavelength and backward propagation is the optimal condition to minimize the transient response of surviving channels in terms of the overshoot and gain saturation due to the inhomogeneous broadening effect.

Because characteristics of diversity, large-scale and unpredictability of disaster are very difficult to make predict of disaster, rapid disaster response activity is important to reduce damage from disaster. Therefore emergency communication technology is essential to information sharing between field personnel in the field. Because the heterogeneous radios defined as some of 100MHz VHF, 400MHz UHF, and 800MHz emergency communication RF band are used in Korea, the field personnels need to have multiple radios. In order to use one radio per personnel, radio voice intercommunication is very necessary. We study on modular 3-Band RF to communicate between heterogeneous radios through single multi-band antenna and verify scalable of the number of equipped radios.
