Opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) allows unlicensed users to share licensed spectrum in space and time with no or little interference to primary users, with bring new research challenges in MAC design. We propose a cognitive MAC protocol using statistical channel information and selecting appropriate idle channel for transmission. The protocol based on the CSMA/CA, exploits statistics of spectrum usage for decision making on channel access. Idle channel availability, spectrum hole sufficiency and available channel condition will be included in algorithm statistical information. The model include the control channel and data channel, the transmitter negotiates with receiver on transmission parameters through control channel, statistical decision results (successful rate of transmission) from exchanged transmission parameters of control channel should pass the threshold and decide the data transmission with spectrum hole on data channel. The proposed protocol's simulation will show that proposed protocol does improve the throughput performance via traditional opportunistic spectrum access MAC protocol.

New teaching and studying methods using educational contents are gradually widespread with the advancement of information and communication technology. As educational contents, in this paper, we design and implement linguistic contents for studying essential expressions applied to various situations of real life. In detail, the linguistic contents are run on web environments, and have suitable animations for learning essential expressions based on several foreign languages in contextual dialogues. Also, useful functions are included in contents to reinforce what users have learned.

In Korea, we witness vivid evidences of changing trend in communication that insist the emergence of new networking architecture. To accommodate the changing trend and to hold current strong position in global IT industry, Korea have launched broadband convergence network (BcN) initiative. BcN vision for Korea is to be the first in the world to realize converged network infrastructure and ubiquitous service environment. In this paper, we have introduced the concept and the vision of BcN with a viewpoint of a new paradigm to prepare future-proof communication environment. And then, we have disclosed BcN research and development (R&D) activities including R&D philosophy, R&D phases, and key technologies required. Also, we have discussed current development issues in three technology branches including service and control technology, unified transport technology, and next-generation access technology.

This paper investigates the performance comparison of a Terahertz (THz) communications for a single-carrier and a multi-carrier single antenna point-to-point communication system. The multi-carrier system and single carrier system consider the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and the minimum mean square error linear equalizer (MMSE-LE), respectively. We compare the frame-error-rate (FER) and throughput performance of both the systems for a THz communication environment with the carrier frequency of 300GHz and the tapped delay line (TDL) channel models described in 3GPP. It is observed from the simulation results that the OFDM systems outperform the MMSE-LE for various configurations.

This study empirically analyzed the influence of communication and social support on the organizational immersion of salespeople in cosmetic brand shops in Seoul. Communication and social support were set as independent variables as factors affecting organizational immersion. Communication variables were subordinate variables such as formal communication, communication with supervisor, and communication with colleagues. Sub-variables of social support factors were set as support of superiors and support of colleagues. As a result of the analysis, communication factors such as formal communication, communication with supervisor, communication with colleagues were analyzed as the significant influencing factors on the organizational immersion of workers. The support of supervisor was analyzed as the significant factors influencing the organizational immersion of workers. However, support of colleagues was analyzed as a factor that did not affect the organizational immersion of workers.

In this paper, we confirm the effective adaptive algorithm for tha active noise contorl (ANC) though the performance comparison between adaptive algorithms. Generally, the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm has been widely used for an adaptive algorithm thanks to its simplicity and having a fast convergence speed. However, the convergence performance of the NLMS algorithms is often deteriorated by colored input signals. To overcome this problem, the affine pojection (AP) algorithm that updates the weight vector based on a number of recent input vectors can be used for allowing a higher convergence speed than the NLMS algorithm, but it is computationally complex. Thus, the proper algorithm were determined by the comparison between NLMS and AP algorithms regarding as the convergence performance and complexity. Simulation results confirmed that the noise reduction performance of NLMS algorithm was comparable to AP algorithm with low complexity. Therefore the NLMS algorithm is more effective for ANC system.

This study focuses on improving MIMO-OFDM systems by combining a wireless communication architecture known as vertical BLAST(bell laboratories layered space-time) or V-BLAST and STTC(space time trellis coding). In this paper, the combination is done by introducing STTC in each V-BLAST layer. Moreover, this architecture uses multiple antennas that are grouped into small number of antennas which makes it less complex to decode by decoding every group. Whereas, in traditional V-BLAST, all the antennas form one group and they are decoded together at the receiver, therefore, this increases the complexity as the number of antennas is getting high. We compare the bit error rate performance of this system with MIMO-OFDM that uses convolutional coding instead of STTC. Under the same spectral efficiency, the simulation results prove that joining V-BLAST with STTC improves MIMO-OFDM systems performance.

Silicon heterojunction solar cells (SHJ) have dominated the photovoltaic market up till now but their conversion performance is practically limited to around 26% compared with the theoretical efficiency limit of 29.4%. A silicon based multi-junction devices are expected to overcome this limitation. In this report, we briefly review the state-of-art characteristic of wide-gap materials which has played a role as top sub-cells in silicon based multi-junction solar cells. In addition, we indicate significantly practical challenges and key issues of these multi-junction combination. Finally, we focus to some characteristics of III-V/c-Si tandem configuration which are reaching highly record performance in multi-junction silicon solar cells.

Medical technology is gradually being developed by applying information technologies. Especially, RFID technology is being used for precise disease history information of patients [4]. And in case the patient is far away, the patient can be treated using network communication of the internet [5][6]. The internet makes us to treat or operate the patient without being restricted to time or space. If the above technologies are made as a system, the patient can be treated or operated without being restricted to time or space. In this paper, we present a patient treatment system has been implemented with a system using RFID and network communication of the internet [1][2][3][4]. The system is driven as follows. First, the information of patient can be checked from a remote PC, if the tag that a patient has been read through a reader. And a remote treatment is performed by controlling robot's arm with a joystick using internet network [19][20][21]. The RFID system was implemented in frequency of 125 KHz [1]. The information of patient can be checked with PDA, PC and C-LCD using Bluetooth and WLAN [7][8][9][10]. For the treatment and operation of the patient, the robot's arm has been formed using AX-12 motor, joystick and two buttons [11][12][13][14][15] [17][18].

Due to the increase in the demand for anomaly detection according to the ageing of power generation facilities, the need for developing an anomaly detection method that can provide high-reliability turbine blade anomaly detection performance has been continuously raised. Additionally, the false detection results caused by a human error accelerates the increase of the need. In this paper, we propose an anomaly detection technique for turbine blades in power plants using deep neural networks. Experimental results prove that the proposed technique achieves stable anomaly detection performance while minimizing human factor intervention.
