제품간 또는 시스템간을 서로 연결하는 커넥티드 기술의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 커넥티드 기술은 주변 사물들과 소통하고 네트워크로 서로 연결되어 하나의 시스템처럼 동작시킬 수 있는 개념이다. 특히 무선 통신을 이용하여 구현할 수 있으며 통신거리, 속도 등 적용 시스템에 따라 다양한 조건이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 자율주행차, 드론, UAV, 공유이동수단 등 모빌리티 장치간의 커넥티드 구현을 위한 통신 기술 동향을 분석하였다. 현재 상용화되거나 개발 중인 최신 통신 방식의 통신거리, 속도, 유무선여부 등을 조사하였으며, 특히 저전력 동작 여부에 중점을 두어 분석하였다. 저전력원거리통신(LPWAN) 시스템 구축에 필요한 요소기술이 무엇인지 도출하였으며, 1차적으로 드론 커넥티드 구성을 위한 방안을 도출하였다. 분석결과 LoRa 시스템을 활용한 커넥티드 시스템 구현이 가능함을 보였으며, 구성방안 예시안을 제시하였다.

In this work, an accurate analysis of low frequency current ripple in residential fuel cell power generation systems is performed based on the proposed residential load model and its unique operation algorithm. Rather than using a constant dc voltage source, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) model is implemented in this research so that a system-level analysis considering the fuel cell stack, power conditioning system (PCS), and the actual load is possible. Using the attained results, a comparative study regarding the discrepancies of low frequency current ripple between a simple resistor load and a realistic residential load is performed. The data indicate that the low frequency current ripple of the proposed residential load model is increased by more than a factor of two when compared to the low frequency current ripple of a simple resistor load under identical conditions. Theoretical analysis, simulation data, and experimental results are provided, along with a model of the load usage pattern of low frequency current ripples.

In this paper we analyze convergence constraints and time constant of IT-LMS algorithm and derive a method of making it's time constant independent of signal power by using input variance estimation. The method for estimating the input variance is to use a single-pole low-pass filter(LPF) with common smoothing parameter value, θ. The estimator is with narrow bandwidth for large θ but with wide bandwidth for small θ. This small θ gives long term average estimation(low frequency) of the fluctuating input variance well as short term variations (high frequency) of the input power. In our simulations of multipath communication channel equalization environments, the method with large θ has shown not as much improved convergence speed as the speed of the original IT-LMS algorithm. The proposed method with small θ=0.01 reach its minimum MSE in 100 samples whereas the IT-LMS converges in 200 samples. This shows the proposed, tap-power normalized IT-LMS algorithm can be applied more effectively to digital wireless communication systems.

As GPU power consumption in smartphones increases with more advanced graphic performance, it becomes essential to estimate GPU power consumption accurately. The conventional GPU power model assumes, simply, that a GPU consumes constant power when turned on; however, this is no longer true for recent smartphone GPUs. In this paper, we propose an accurate GPU power model for smartphones, considering newly adopted dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. For the proposed GPU power model, our evaluation results show that the error rate for system power estimation is as low as 2.9%, on average, and 4.6% in the worst case.

A novel linear switched termination active cross-coupled low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transceiver operating at 1.5 GHz clock frequency is presented. On the transmitter side, an active cross-coupled linear output driver and a switched termination scheme are applied to achieve high speed with low current. On the receiver side, a shared pre-amplifier scheme is employed to reduce power consumption. The proposed LVDS transceiver implemented in an 80 nm CMOS process is successfully demonstrated to provide a data rate of 6 Gbps/pin, an output data window of 147 ps peak-to-peak, and a data swing of 196 mV. The power consumption is measured to be 4.2 mW/pin at 1.2 V.

While commercialization of IoT technologies in the safety management sector is being promoted in terms of industrial safety of large indoor businesses, implementing a system for risk management of small outdoor work sites with frequent site movements is not actively implemented. In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which combined low-power, wide-bandwidth (LPWA) communication and low-power Bluetooth (BLE) communication technologies to support customized risk management alarm systems for each individual (driver/operator/manager). This study was designed to enable long-term low-power collection and transmission of traffic information in outdoor environment, as well as to implement an integrated real-time safety management system that notifies a whole field worker who does not carry a separate smart device in advance. Performance assessments of the system, including risk alerts to drivers and workers via Bluetooth communication, the speed at which critical text messages are received, and the operation of warning/lighting lamps are all well suited to field application.

Peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is one of the main imperfections in the broadband communication systems with multiple carriers. In this paper, a new crest factor reduction (CFR) scheme based on interleaved phase sequence called Dummy Sequence Insertion Enhanced Partial Transmit Sequence (DSI-EPTS) is proposed which effectively reduces the PAPR while at the same time keeps the total complexity low. Moreover, the prototype of the proposed scheme in field programmable gate array (FPGA) is demonstrated. In DSI-EPTS scheme, a new matrix of phase sequence is defined which leads to a significant reduction in hardware complexity due to its less searching operation to extract the optimum phase sequence. The obtained results show comparable performance with slight difference due to the FPGA constraints. The results show 5 dB reduction in PAPR by applying the DSI-EPTS scheme with low complexity and low power consumption.

As a crucial development direction for the sixth generation of mobile communication networks (6G), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks exhibit characteristics such as low latency, seamless coverage, and high bandwidth. However, the frequent changes in the topology of LEO satellite networks complicate communication between satellites, and satellite power resources are limited. To fully utilize resources on satellites, it is essential to determine the association between satellites before power allocation. To effectively address the satellite association problem in LEO satellite networks, this paper proposes a satellite association-based resource allocation algorithm. The algorithm comprehensively considers the throughput of the satellite network and the fairness associated with satellite correlation. It formulates an objective function with logarithmic utility by taking the logarithm and summing the satellite channel capacities. This aims to maximize the sum of logarithmic utility while promoting the selection of fewer associated satellites for forwarding satellites, thereby enhancing the fairness of satellite association. The problems of satellite association and power allocation are solved under constraints on resources and transmission rates, maximizing the logarithmic utility function. The paper employs an improved Kuhn-Munkres (KM) algorithm to solve the satellite association problem and determine the correlation between satellites. Based on the satellite association results, the paper uses the Lagrangian dual method to solve the power allocation problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm enhances the fairness of satellite association, optimizes resource utilization, and effectively improves the throughput of LEO satellite networks.

저전력 변조 방식은 근거리 통신 시스템에서 전력 효율을 높이기 위하여 필요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 저전력 변조를 위해 제안된 PSSK(Phase Silence Shift Keying), PSPM(Phase Shift Position Modulation), QAPM(Quadrature Amplitude Position Modulation) 방식들을 주파수 측에서의 mapping을 통하여 OFDM 전송을 하고 그 성능을 분석한다. PSSK, PSPM과 QAPM 변조 방식은 기존의 PSK, QAM 변조 방식에 비하여 대역 효율은 떨어지지만, 전송효율을 높인 변조 방식으로 PPM 방식을 이용하여 신호의 주기를 나누고, PSK 혹은 QAM 심볼을 배치한다. 이렇게 배치함으로써 심볼 주기 이외의 구간은 0을 배치할 수 있게 되고 그에 따라 전력 효율을 높이는 방식이다. PPM 방식을 이용한 변조 방식은 PSK보다 높은 전력 효율과 FSK보다 높은 대역 효율을 얻을 수 있으며, 전체적인 성능은 FSK와 PSK의 사이에 위치하게 된다. OFDM 전송 방식은 기존의 단일 반송파 전송 방식보다 대역 효율을 높일 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 PSSK와 PSPM, QAPM과 같은 저전력 변조 방식을 OFDM 방식에 적용하기 위한 주파수축에서의 부반송파 mapping 방식을 제안한다. 또한, 제안된 mapping을 통하여 전송하였을 때의 BER 성능과 단일 반송파 전송을 통한 BER 성능을 비교하며, 기존의 방식과의 PAPR 성능을 비교한다.
