In the context of effective usage of a scarce spectrum resource, emerging wireless communication standards will demand spectrum sharing with existing systems as well as multiple access with higher spectral efficiency. We mathematically analyze the sum throughput of a spectrum sharing space-division multiple access (SDMA) system, which forms a transmit null in the direction of other coexisting systems while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. For a large number of users N, the SDMA throughput scales as log N at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ((J-1) loglog N at normal SNR), where J is the number of transmit antennas. This indicates that multiplexing gain of the spectrum sharing SDMA is $\frac{J-1}{J}$ times less than that of the non-spectrum sharing SDMA only using orthogonal beamforming, whereas no loss in multiuser diversity gain. Although the spectrum sharing SDMA always has lower throughput compared to the non-spectrum sharing SDMA in the non-coexistence scenario, it offers an intriguing opportunity to reuse spectrum already allocated to other coexisting systems.

본 논문에서는 협력 무선 통신 시스템의 순방향 링크에서, 각 이동국의 제한된 피드백 정보를 이용하여, 인접한 다수의 기지국들에서 동시에 코히어런트(coherent)하게 하나의 이동국에 데이터를 전송하는 결합 전송 공간 분할 다중 접속(Joint Transmission Space Division Multiple Access: JT-SDMA) 기술을 제안한다. JT-SDMA 기술을 위해, 공간상관도가 높은 각 collaborative base transceiver station(C-BTS)의 하향 링크 채널과 공간상관도가 낮은 다른 C-BTS들 간의 하향 링크 채널 특성에 적합한 unitary precoding 행렬 코드북을 디자인하였다. 또한, 제안하는 JT-SDMA 기술에서, 각 이동국의 제한된 피드백 정보량을 이용하여 다중 사용자 다이버시티 이득을 증가시키는 클러스터에서 수행되는 집중 스케줄링 기술을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션의 통해 JT-SDMA 기술이 제한된 피드백 정보량을 이용하여, 다중 사용자 다이버시티 오더가 충분하지 않은 환경에서 셀 간 간섭을 효과적으로 억제하여, 클러스터 전송 용량을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근에 OFDM 기반 셀룰러 시스템의 Throughput 및 셀 커버리지를 향상시키기 위하여 SDMA(Spatial Division Multiple Access) 방식을 적용하는 자원 할당 방식에 대한 연구가 시작되고 있으나, 대부분의 OFDM/SDMA 기반 자원 할당 방식에 대한 연구는 시스템 Throughput 만을 최적화시키거나 단일 셀 환경에서만 적응이 가능한 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 요구하는 트래픽 특성에 맞는 High Layer QoS(Quality of Service) 파라미터를 고려하면서, 시스템의 Throughput의 손실을 최소화하고 인접 셀 간 간섭을 고려하여 다중 셀 환경에서도 적용이 가능한 하향 링크 OFDM/SDMA 기반 자원할당 알고리즘을 제안하고, Ped A 및 다중 안테나 채널모델인 SCME (Spatial Channel Model Extensions) 채널에서 제안된 알고리즘 성능을 분석한다.

This paper proposes a systematic design for a precoding codebook for a transmit-ing space-division multiple access (TN-SDMA) sharing spectrum with existing fixed wireless service (FWS). Based on an estimated direction angle of a victim FWS system, an interfering transmitter adaptively constructs a codebook, forming a transmit in the direction angle, while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. Sum throughput results indicate that the throughput loss of TN-SDMA relative to a practical SDMA, called per user unitary and rate control ($PU^2RC$), is lower at larger number of transmission antennas, lower signal-to-noise ratio, or a smaller number of users. In particular, a small loss (12% throughput loss) is provided for practical system parameters. Spectrum sharing results confirm that TNSDMA efficiently shares spectrum with FWS systems by reducing protection distance to more than 66 %. Although a TN-SDMA system always has lower throughput compared to $PU^2RC$ in non-coexistence scenarios; it offers an intriguing opportunity to re-use a spectrum already allocated to an FWS.

Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is a new renal biomarker for kidney function. It is almost exclusively eliminated by renal filtration. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the changes in serum ceatinine (CREA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and SDMA concentrations in dogs with chronic mitral valve insufficiency (CMVI), according to the severity of CMVI. The evaluation of the severity of CMVI was performed according to the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) classification of heart failure. The dogs were classified into two groups: group 1 (ACVIM B; n = 11) and group 2 (ACVIM C; n = 15). In dogs with advanced CMVI, the serum SDMA concentrations were significantly increased above the normal reference range and were independent of body weight (BW), systolic blood pressure (SBP), or sex. No dog in either group had higher serum CREA concentrations than the upper limit. The serum SDMA concentration may be a better renal marker than serum CREA concentrations for the early diagnoses of renal dysfunction in dogs with CMVI.

This paper focuses on codebook-based precoding for space-division multiple access/orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (SDMA-OFDMA) systems aiming to guarantee high throughput for their users as well as to mitigate interference to fixed satellite service (FSS). A systematic design of SDMA codebook for subband-based OFDMA is proposed, which forms multiple orthogonal beams with common spatial null in the direction of a victim FSS earth station (ES). The design enables both transmitter and receiver to independently construct identical codebook by sharing only on the direction angle of an FSS ES, which takes fewer overhead bits than Gram-Schmidt process, a general method satisfying our design criterion. A system-level throughput evaluation shows that the proposed precoding provides superior performance over existing spectrum sharing method, that is, subband deactivation. The spectrum sharing analysis shows that the proposed precoding, even with an estimation error of the direction angles of an FSS ES, causes lower interference than existing precoding, knockdown precoding.

Background: A urethral obstruction (UO) is an emergency commonly observed in male cats, which can result in significant clinical and laboratory alterations, leading to complications and death. Objectives: This study aimed to correlate symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) with the urea, creatinine, potassium, and bicarbonate levels in cats with UO. In addition, the correlation between clinical score and time of obstruction was evaluated. Methods: Thirty male cats were selected and allocated into a control group (CG, n = 13) and an obstruction group (OG, n = 17). The laboratory analyses were conducted before treatment (M0) and at different times after treatment (12 h [M12], 24 h [M24], and 48 h [M48]). Correlations were established between SDMA and creatinine, urea, bicarbonate, potassium, time of obstruction, and the clinical score. Results: A strong correlation (r > 0.6) was observed between SDMA and creatinine, urea, and potassium in the OG. Furthermore, there was substantial agreement (kappa value) between SDMA and creatinine at M24. A higher clinical score was associated with a longer time of obstruction. In the OG, at M48, the SDMA and creatinine levels were 50% and 41.2% higher, respectively. Conclusions: A correlation was observed between SDMA and creatinine in obstructed cats, and significant agreement between these values was observed 24 h after the unblocking treatment. A correlation among SDMA, urea, and potassium was observed. Approximately 9% more cats continued to have elevated SDMA levels after 48 h of treatment compared to creatinine. This suggests a slightly lower sensitivity of the latter biomarker but does not exclude the possibility of congruent and normalized values after a longer evaluation period.

Background: In veterinary medicine, previous studies regarding the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are not consistent with each other. Moreover, there has been no study evaluating the relationship between symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) concentration and renal shear wave velocity (SWV) using two-dimensional SWE (2D SWE) in dogs with CKD. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic capability of 2D SWE in dogs with CKD and to assess the relationship between renal SWV and SDMA concentration. Methods: Dogs with healthy kidneys and dogs with CKD underwent 2D SWE and SDMA assay. Renal stiffness was estimated as renal SWV in m/s. Results: SDMA concentration had a weak positive correlation with the left (r = 0.338, p = 0.022) and right renal SWV (r = 0.337, p = 0.044). Renal SWV was not significantly different between healthy kidney and CKD groups in the left (p = 0.085) and right (p = 0.171) kidneys. Conclusions: 2D SWE may could not distinguish between dogs with healthy kidney and dogs with early stage of CKD, but it would be useful for assessing the serial change of renal function in dogs.

양자화된 채널 상태 정보를 이용하는 공간 분할 다중 접속 방식은 제한된 되먹임 정보로도 다중 송신의 이득을 가질 수 있다. 그러나 되먹임 정보의 양은 사용자에 따라 선형적으로 증가하기 때문에, 공간 분할 다중 접속 방식은 제한된 되먹임 방식을 사용하더라도 여전히 높은 신호처리 부담을 갖게 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 대상이 되는 사용자 수를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 새로운 되먹임 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식에서는 성능 열화 없이 되먹임 정보량을 줄이기 위해 되먹임 요청 기준 조건을 제시하고 이에 미치지 못하는 열악한 통신 환경의 사용자들을 제한한다. 본 논문의 모의 실험에서는 제안하는 방식이 전송 효율 이득을 높일 뿐만 아니라 되먹임 정보를 합리적으로 감소시킬 수 있음을 보여준다.
