In the center of an Active Galactic Nuclei(AGN) is a supermassive black hole which accretes matter from its surroundings. The radio-loud AGN launch two relativistic jets perpendicular to the accretion disk which terminates into radio lobes located up to megaparsec away. Blazars form a small subset of radio-loud AGNs with one of two relativistic jets pointing toward the observer's line of sight. Many blazars often show flares at different frequencies. And these flares at different frequencies are known that they often correlate with each other. In 2013 December, there was a gamma-ray flare in 3C 279, one of the brightest blazars, Dec 2013. So we want to reveal that whether this flare correlates with radio flare or not, and where the flare originate. With polarization observation at radio frequencies, we can study the physical properties of the magnetic field in the innermost regions of the relativistic jets. Therefore, we have conducted polarization monitoring of this source from Dec. 2013 to Jun. 2014 with KVN(Korea VLBI Network) radio telescopes at 22, 43 and 86GHz. Here we present the initial results of the monitoring of 3C 279. We prospect that we can reveal the origin of this gamma-ray flare by comparing with our radio data.

This paper considers a wideband cognitive radio network which can simultaneously sense multiple narrowband channels and thus aggregate the detected available channels for transmission and proposes a novel cognitive radio system that exhibits improved sensing throughput and can save power consumption of secondary user (SU) compared to the conventional cognitive radio system studied so far. More specifically, under the proposed cognitive radio system, we study the problem of designing the optimal sensing time and power allocation strategy, in order to maximize the ergodic throughput of the proposed cognitive radio system under two different schemes, namely the wideband sensing-based spectrum sharing scheme and the wideband opportunistic spectrum access scheme. In our analysis, besides the average interference power constraint at primary user, the average transmit power constraint of SU is also considered for the two schemes and then a subgradient algorithm is developed to obtain the optimal sensing time and the corresponding power allocation strategy. Finally, numerical simulations are presented to verify the performance of the two proposed schemes.

In this paper, we investigate the throughput capacity of a multi-hop relay with cognitive radio (CR) enabled relay stations (RS). We suggest a TDMA/FDMA based frame structure where RSs dynamically select unused channels to communicate with the base station (BS) using CR techniques to analyze the throughput capacity. We develop the throughput capacity model for the proposed system based on utilization factor. The analytical results based on those equations show significant improvement in throughput capacity for CR enabled multi-hop relay system.

차세대 인터넷은 'Internet is Life'를 그 모토로 하고 있으며 인터넷의 Cyber Space를 실생활과 연결시켜 일상생활 속에서 인터넷이 구현되는 생활속의 인터넷 구현을 그 목표로 하고 있다. 차세대 인터넷은 사용자에게 언제, 어디서나 고품질 멀티미디어 서비스를 유무선 관계없이 안전하게 초고속으로 제공하는 방향으로 발전될 것으로 전망되고 있는데 이 과정에서 대용량의 데이터를 안정적으로 전송할 수 있는 백본망 기술이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 인터넷 백본망 구현 기술로 1990년대 후반에는 IPoA나 IPoS 기술이 주로 사용되었으나 2000년대에 들어서는 IPoW 기술이 많이 사용되고 있는 추세이며 2002년 이후로는 DWDM 방식이 IP를 전송하는 백본망 기술로 많이 활용되고 있다. 향후 이러한 백본망기술의 발전은 메트로망, 가입자 망 기술과 통합되어 초고속 네트워크 구축의 핵심 기능을 제공할 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 백본망 기술의 현황 및 앞으로의 발전 방향에 대해 살펴보고자하며 이를 통하여 차세대 인터넷의 로드맵을 개략적으로 그려보고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose first a scheme of grouping spectrum holes that are created in the multiple channels of primary users, and then by using the scheme we enhance quality of service (QoS) of wideband cognitive radio users in cellular cognitive radio networks. In our scheme, spectrum holes created in each primary channel are predicted by Wiener prediction process, and then the predicted spectrum holes happened in the same time are grouped into a group. The wideband cognitive radio users explore the group of spectrum holes to improve their QoS. Simulation results show that their handoff calls dropping rate and initial calls blocking rate are significantly reduced in our scheme, compared to those in the single primary channel.

Network convergence is considered as one of the key solutions to the problem of achieving future high-capacity and reliable communications. This approach overcomes the limitations of separate wireless technologies. Efficient interface selection is one of the most important issues in convergence networks. This paper solves the problem faced by users of selecting the most appropriate interface in the heterogeneous radio-access network (RAN) environment. Our proposed scheme combines a hierarchical evaluation of networks and game theory to solve the network-selection problem. Instead, of considering a fixed weight system while ranking the networks, the proposed scheme considers the service requirements, as well as static and dynamic network attributes. The best network is selected for a particular service request. To establish a hierarchy among the network-evaluation criteria for service requests, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is used. To determine the optimum network selection, the network hierarchy is combined with game theory. AHP attains the network hierarchy. The weights of different access networks for a service are calculated. It is performed by combining AHP scores considering user's experienced static network attributes and dynamic radio parameters. This paper provides a strategic game. In this game, the network scores of service requests for various RANs and the user's willingness to pay for these services are used to model a network-versus-user game. The Nash equilibria signify those access networks that are chosen by individual user and result maximum payoff. The examples for the interface selection illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Since smart phones are widely used globally, the demand for high-speed mobile communications are increasing. To accommodate the increased communication demand, the next-generation mobile communication services such as LTE-Advanced are deployed. In the LTE-Advanced base stations, the base station schemes of Digital Unit (DU) and Radio Unit (RU) are widely used. Here, the link between DU and RU is called fronthaul link. In the current fronthaul link, a digital optical communication interface is used, which is called Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). However, the CPRI link cannot support the increased mobile traffic efficiently. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate an alternative technology based on the Radio over Fiber (RoF) to accommodate the increased mobile traffic economically.

This paper describes the performance improvement of Software (SW) digital filter using GPU (Graphical Processing Unit). The previous developed SW digital filter has a problem that it operates on a CPU (Central Processing Unit) basis and has a slow speed. The GPU was introduced to filter the data of the EAVN (East Asian VLBI Network) observation to improve the operation speed and to process data with other stations through filtering, respectively. In order to enhance the computational speed of the SW digital filter, NVIDIA Titan V GPU board with built-in Tensor Core is used. The processing speed of about 0.78 (1Gbps, 16MHz BW, 16-IF) and 1.1 (2Gbps, 32MHz BW, 16-IF) times for the observing time was achieved by filtering the 95 second observation data of 2 Gbps (512 MHz BW, 1-IF), respectively. In addition, 2Gbps data is digitally filtered for the 1 and 2Gbps simultaneously observed with KVN (Korean VLBI Network), and compared with the 1Gbps, we obtained similar values such as cross power spectrum, phase, and SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). As a result, the effectiveness of developed SW digital filter using GPU in this research was confirmed for utilizing the data processing and analysis. In the future, it is expected that the observation data will be able to be filtered in real time when the distributed processing optimization of source code for using multiple GPU boards.

In this paper, we introduce satellite communication for new wireless disaster network to be built on the basis of amateur radio HR (HAM Radio) as a wireless package system, and channel environments of a D2D terminal that tries to connect and communicate with the wireless disaster network. In this disaster network, we propose a LOS component ratio based adaptive channel modeling approach to accurately estimate a variety of channels whose the D2D terminal could have and smoothly transfer to the level of multimedia data based on the Okumura-Hata channel model. As a result of computer simulation, performance of the proposed method was compared with the that of Okumura-Hata model of open area and urban area model and we were confirmed that there is a gain of BER performance from the results of the computer simulation.

This paper proposes a cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm in a maritime cognitive radio network and evaluates the performance of proposed algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, the secondary ships decide whether to transmit the feedback information or not on the basis of the threshold when the number of available feedback information of the ships is limited. The fusion ship detects whether the channel is available or not on the basis of the feedback information. This paper evaluates the proposed algorithm in terms of the detection probability and the number of secondary ships that are fed back in the maritime cognitive radio network. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the feedback overhead even though the detection probability is somewhat declined.
