This paper presents methods to improve performance of the power supply system in a NASA deep space explorer. In the Stirling engine driven reciprocating Brushless DC (BLDC) generator, the accurate position information of the prime mover is important to diagnose the performance of the engine and prevent distortion of the output power. Since sensors to detect the position are fragile and unreliable, and conventional sensorless techniques have drawbacks in the low speed region, a novel sensorless position detection technique for the prime mover has been proposed and verified. Another major issue of the generator for the spacecraft is power density maximization. The mass of the power system is important to the mass of the satellite. Therefore, the components of the spacecraft should be lightweight. Conventional rectification methods cannot achieve the maximum power possible due to non-optimal current waveforms. The optimal current waveform for maximizing power density and minimizing machine size and weight in a nonsinusoidal power supply system has been derived, incorporated in a control system, and verified by simulation work.

We investigate the D2D utility maximization in the cellular system. We focus on the non cooperative game theoretic approach to maximize the individual utility. Cellular system's perspective, interference from the D2D links must be limited to protect the cellular users. To accommodate this interference issue, utility function is first defined to control the individual D2D user's transmit power. More specifically, utility function includes the pricing which limits the individual D2D user's transmit power. Then, non cooperative power game is formulated to maximize the individual utility. Distributed algorithm is proposed to maximize the individual utility, while limiting the interference. Convergence of the proposed distributed algorithm is verified through computer simulation. Also the effect of pricing factor to SIR and interference is provided to show the performance of the proposed distributed algorithm.

In this study, an effective method for designing an electromagnetic multilayer radome is introduced. This method is achieved by using ant colony optimization for a continuous domain in the transmission coefficient maximization with stability for a wide angle of incidence in both perpendicular and parallel polarizations in specific X- and Ku-bands. To obtain the optimized parameter for a C-sandwich radome, particle swarm optimization algorithm is operated to give a clear comparison on the effectiveness of ant colony optimization for a continuous domain. The qualification of an optimized multilayer radome is also compared with an effective solid radome type in transmitted power stability and presented in this research.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

In this paper, we maximize the lifetime of a multi-hop path through a cooperative wireless energy sharing scheme between constituent nodes in a wireless multi-hop communication. Considering a bidirectional multi-hop communication environment, we present an optimization problem to maximize path lifetime by adjusting the amount of energy each node needs to share with its neighboring nodes. On the basis of solidarity property, i.e., the lifetime of the multi-hop path is maximized when the lifetimes of all nodes are the same, we convert the considered optimization problem into a linear programming problem and solve it easily. Simulation result shows that the proposed two-way wireless energy sharing method maximizes the path lifetime of multi-hop communications and approximately doubles the path lifetime compared with the one-way energy sharing method.

In optimization theory, hypo-convergence is considered as an effective tool by providing the convergence of supremum values under some conditions. This feature makes it different from other types of convergence. Therefore, we have defined the hypo-convergence of a sequence of fuzzy sets due to the increasing interest in fuzzy set theory in recent years. After giving a theoretical framework, we deal with the optimization process by using a sequential characterization of hypo-convergence of sequence of fuzzy sets. Since the maximization process in optimization theory is beyond the presence of hypo-convergence, we give some conditions to satisfy the convergence of supremum values. Furthermore, we show how sequence of fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers differ in the convergence of the supremum values.

EM(Expectation Maximization)은 불확실한 데이터들을 가지고 분포를 모델링하는, 널리 알려진 군집화 알고리즘이다. EM 알고리즘에서, 정규 분포는 기대(Expectation)-최대화(Maximization)과정을 반복하는 과정에서 그 윤곽을 다져간다. 이 때 이 과정은 EM 알고리즘의 다양한 확률 초기화에 따라 다른 결과를 내게 된다, 본 논문에서는 이 확률 초기화 값의 조정을 통하여 HAPS(High Altitude Platform Station) 기반 네트워크에서 이동 기지국의 위치를 실시간으로 결정하고자 하는 문제를 풀기 위한 조건을 몇 가지 반영시켜 확률 초기 값을 결정해 보고, 그 결과를 제시한다. 이에 더불어, ITU에서 제한하고 있는 이동 기지국의 서비스 반경을 고려하는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper. a new Fast Expectation-Maximization algorithm(FEM) is proposed. Firstly the K-means algorithm is modified to reduce the number of iterations for finding the initial values that are used as the initial values in EM process. Conventionally the Initial values in K-means clustering are chosen randomly. which sometimes forces the process of clustering converge to some undesired center points. Uniform partitioning method is added to the conventional K-means to extract the proper initial points for each clusters. Secondly the effect of posterior probability is emphasized such that the application of Maximum Likelihood Posterior(MLP) yields fast convergence. The proposed FEM strengthens the characteristics of conventional EM by reinforcing the speed of convergence. The superiority of FEM is demonstrated in experimental results by presenting the improvement results of EM and accelerating the speed of convergence in parameter estimation procedures.
