Opportunistic incremental relaying (OIR) system effectively overcomes the degradations caused by the fading of the wireless channel, and efficiently utilizes the wireless resources. Most of the OIR studies, however, assume spatially fixed relays. The user terminals which are usually served as relays move continuously, the assumption that the relays are fixed is not realistic. In this paper, the location of the spatially random user terminals are modeled by the Poisson point process, and the performance of an OIR system is derived. We noticed that the performance of the OIR system improves with the spatially random relays as well as with the fixed relays. Also the intensity of the relays and the transmitting directions toward the destination affect the performances. The performances of the maximal ratio combining (MRC) and the selection combining (SC) at the destination are compared.

The Parameter Estimation for software existing reliability models, Goel-Okumoto, Yamada-Ohba-Osaki model was reviewed and Rayleigh model based on Rayleigh distribution was studied. In this paper, we discusses comparison of parameter estimation using maximum likelihood estimator and Bayesian estimation based on Gibbs sampling to analysis of the estimator' pattern. Model selection based on sum of the squared errors and Braun statistic, for the sake of efficient model, was employed. A numerical example was illustrated using real data. The current areas and models of Superposition, mixture for future development are also employed.

In this study, a centrifugal seawater cooling pump was analyzed to investigate its cavitation behavior over different operating flow rates. 3D two-phase simulations were carried out with ANSYS-CFX commercial code. The $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence and Rayleigh-Plesset cavitation models were employed in the simulations. A head drop characteristics curves for three discharge rates was built based on numerical predictions. At higher flow rates, the impeller was more vulnerable to bubble cavitation. The 3 % head drop points of the pump working at 0.7Q, Q, and 1.3Q (Q: design flow rate) corresponded with NPSHa 1.21 m, 1.83 m, and 3.45 m, respectively. The volume of vapor bubbles was estimated and cavitation locations were anticipated to visualize the development of the cavity within the impeller. Moreover, the distribution of pressure coefficient and a blade loading chart are specifically presented, bringing out the harmful impacts of cavitation on the pump operation.

User cooperation provides high reliability in wireless communication systems by employing relay nodes to transmit the same information. In this paper, a bit error rate (BER) study is presented for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying for user cooperation in independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. For an arbitrary number of relays, exact and closed-form expressions of the BER are proposed for M-ary PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation), QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying), respectively. It is also shown that the analytic results are perfectly matched with the simulated ones.

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid codebook design method which combines DFT matrix based codebook for Rayleigh fading and LOS codebook for direct path. Link-level performances employing hybrid codebook outperform the ones employing the conventional codebooks when K-factor of Rician distribution is 0.28 to 0.99. Moreover hybrid codebook shows good performances over not only Rayleigh channel but also high K's Rician channels.

In this paper, we investigate decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems with a direct link between the source and the destination node. The objective of this paper is to determine the better relaying strategy between 3-hop DF relaying and dual-hop DF relaying with the best relay selection. Assuming Rayleigh fading channels, we present closed-form outage probability of the 3-hop relaying and the dual-hop relaying, respectively, and compare the performances by numerical investigation. Numerical results show that if the channel is poor, the outage performance of the 3-hop relaying is better than the dual-hop relaying.

본 논문에서는 백색잡음과 페이딩 환경하의 통신시스템의 성능평가시 백색잡음에 대해서만 모멘트 기법을 이용조건부 오류확률을 구하고 페이딩에 대해서는 해석적 접근방식을 취함으로써 전체적인 컴퓨터 수행시간을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안하고, 제안된 기법의 효율성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 수행시간 비교를 통해 입증하였다. 현재 널리 사용되는 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 기법은 IS-95 순방향 채널과 같이 많은 샘플수를 필요로 하는 시스템에서 상당한 시뮬레이션 수행시간을 요구하게 된다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 제안된 방식에서는 백색잡음하의 수신신호의 N차 모멘트를 측정하여 이산확률밀도함수를 구함으로써 수신신호의 확률적 특성을 모사하고, 이로부터 내삽법과 외삽법을 적용하여 조건부 누적확률분포함수를 산출함으로써 채널오류율을 구하게 된다. 그리고 페이딩 성능평가시 조건부 채널오류율을 이용하여 산출된 조건부 누적확률분포함수를 환경조건에 맞춘 후에 페이딩의 확률밀도함수와 수치 해석적으로 간단히 적분하여 성능평가를 함으로써 수행시간의 줄임과 동시에 정확한 채널오류율을 구하게 된다.

The sensitivity study to evaluate the effects of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the constant loadings is executed in the previous study of the authors. It is shown that the effect of the crack opening ratio is large comparatively. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the random loadings. A new method of evaluation of the effective stress under the random loadings is developed. The sensitivity study of parameters on the fatigue crack propagation life under the random loadings is executed by using it.

A numerical study of natural convection heat transfer confined by circular parallel walls at different temperatures and flat adiabatic walls is investigated for Rayleigh numbers from $10^3$ to $10^5$and sectorial angles from $30^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. It is used by a finite difference method to solve the governing equations. The results show velocity and temperature distributions. Mean Nusselt numbers are shown by $\overline{Nu}=C(Ra_L)^m$.

High-frequency(40∼120 kHz) reflection loss measurements on the water-sandy sediment with a flat interface were conducted in a water tank for various grazing angles. The water tank(5×5×5 m) was filled with a 0.5 m-thick-flat bottom of 0.5ø-mean-grain-size sand. Reflection losses, which were experimentally obtained as a function of grazing angle and frequency, were compared with the forward loss model, APL-UW model (Mourad & Jackson, 1989). For frequencies below 60 kHz, the observed losses well agree with the reflection loss model, however, in cases for frequencies above 70 kHz, the observed losses are greater by 2∼3 dB than the model results. The model calculation, which does not fully account for the vertical scale of roughness due to grain size, produce less bottom losses compared to the observations that correspond to large roughness based on the Rayleigh parameter in the wave scattering theory. In conclusion, for the same grain-size-sediment, as frequencies increase, the grainsize becomes the scale of roughness that could be very large for the frequencies above 70 kHz. Therefore, although the sea bottom was flat, we have to consider the frequency dependence of an effect of roughness within confidential interval of grain size distribution in reflection loss model.
