The Korean nuclear industry is developing a thermal-hydraulic analysis code for safety analysis of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The new code is called the Safety and Performance Analysis Code for Nuclear Power Plants (SPACE). The SPACE code adopts advanced physical modeling of two-phase flows, mainly two-fluid three-field models which comprise gas, continuous liquid, and droplet fields and has the capability to simulate 3D effects by the use of structured and/or nonstructured meshes. The programming language for the SPACE code is C++ for object-oriented code architecture. The SPACE code will replace outdated vendor supplied codes and will be used for the safety analysis of operating PWRs and the design of advanced reactors. This paper describes the overall features of the SPACE code and shows the code assessment results for several conceptual and separate effect test problems.

The operating system for IoT should have a small memory footprint and provide low power state, real-time, multitasking, various network protocols, and security. Although the Zephyr kernel, an operating system for IoT, released by the Linux Foundation in February 2016, has these features but errors generated by the user code can generate fatal problems in the system because the Zephyr kernel adopts a single-space method that both the user code and kernel code execute in the same space. In this research, we propose a space separation method, which separates kernel space and user space, to solve this problem. The space separation that we propose consists of three modifications in Zephyr kernel. The first is the code separation that kernel code and user code execute in each space while using different stacks. The second is the kernel space protection that generates an exception by using the MPU (Memory Protection Unit) when the user code accesses the kernel space. The third is the SVC based system call that executes the system call using the SVC instruction that generates the exception. In this research, we implemented the space separation in Zephyr v1.8.0 and evaluated safety through abnormal execution of the user code. As the result, the kernel was not crashed by the errors generated by the user code and was normally executed.

공간-시간 부호(Space-Time Code)는 다중 안테나 시스템에서 기존의 기술에 비해서 부가적인 대역폭이 필요 없이 부호화 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 지금까지 공간-시간 부호(Space-Time Code)는 다이버시티 이득의 관점에서는 신호행렬들의 차가 완전-계수(Full-Rank)를 가져야 하고, 코딩 이득의 관점에서는 신호행렬들의 차의 determinant 값이 최소값을 가져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 공간-시간 블록 부호 디자인(Space-Time Block Code) 관점에서 직교-디자인(Orthogonal-design) 즉, 최소거리가 5이면서 완전-계수(Full-Rank)인 디자인을 비교대상으로 완전-계수(Full-Rank)가 아니면서 최소거리가 5와7인두 부호에 관하여 연구되어졌다.

The Korean nuclear industry developed the SPACE (Safety and Performance Analysis Code for nuclear power plants) code and this code adpots two-phase flows, two-fluid, three-field models which are comprised of gas, continuous liquid and droplet fields and has a capability to simulate three-dimensional model. According to the revised law by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) in Korea, the multiple failure accidents that must be considered for accident management plan of nuclear power plant was determined based on the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident. Generally, to improve the reliability of the calculation results of a safety analysis code, verification work for separate and integral effect experiments is required. In this reason, the goal of this work is to verify calculation capability of SPACE code for multiple failure accident. For this purpose, it was selected the experiment which was conducted to simulate a Multiple Steam Generator Tube Rupture(MSGTR) accident with Passive Auxiliary Feedwater System(PAFS) operation by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) and focused that the comparison between the experiment results and code calculation results to verify the performance of the SPACE code. The MSGR accident has a unique feature of the penetration of the barrier between the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and the secondary system resulting from multiple failure of steam generator U-tubes. The PAFS is one of the advanced safety features with passive cooling system to replace a conventional active auxiliary feedwater system. This system is passively capable of condensing steam generated in steam generator and feeding the condensed water to the steam generator by gravity. As the results of overall system transient response using SPACE code showed similar trends with the experimental results such as the system pressure, mass flow rate, and collapsed water level in component. In conclusion, it could be concluded that the SPACE code has sufficient capability to simulate a MSGTR accident.

The results of the overall system transient response using the SPACE code showed similar trends with the experimental results for parameters such as the system pressure, mass flow rate, and collapsed water level in component. In conclusion, it can be concluded that the SPACE code has sufficient capability to simulate a CEDM break with a safety injection failure accident.

In this paper, a serially concatenated space-time code (SCSTC) with bandwidth efficiency and high data rate is studied. The suggested SCSTC is composed of space-time code, the convolutional code and Interleaver. The SCSTC has a very high BER performance than the conventional space-time code. The BER performance of the suggested SCSTC can be proven by using computer simulation through the iterative decoding method. The first decoder uses Symbol-MAP algorithm and the second decoder uses Bit-MAP algorithm for decoding tile information bits. The simulation results show the performance of the suggested SCSTC is better than the conventional Space-Time Code.

본 논문에서는 대역폭 효율적 고속전송이 가능한 직렬 인쇄 시·공간 부호(Serially Concatenated Space-Time Code; SCSTC)를 제안하고 성능을 분석한다. 제안된 직렬 연쇄 시·공간 부호와 외부의 컨볼루셔널 부호를 인터리버를 사용하여 직렬로 연결한 구조이다. 제안된 부호는 시·공간 부호의 장점인 고속전송 특성을 유지하면서 단점으로 낮은 BER 성능을 향상시킨다. 제안된 시스템의 성능은 기존의 대역폭 효율적 트렐리스 부호 방식인 직렬 연쇄 트렐리스 부호 변조(Serially Concatenated Trellis Coded Modulation; SCTCM) 및 병렬 연쇄 트렐리스 부호 변조(Turbo-Trellis Coded Modulation; Turbo-TCM)와 비교하였으며 이에 비해 향상된 BER 성능을 얻었다.

Many of the currently used PN code acquisition algorithms detect the phase of the incoming PN signal on the basis of ML estimation principle and utilize statistics grounded in taking inner products. As an extension of PN code acquisition algorithm using one auxiliary code introduced by Salih in 1996, we propose a more and optimal (hardware / time / space complexity wise) algorithm by using a vector space approach. We outline some important differences between our algorithm and that introduced by Salih and in the process point out some advantages of our algorithm.

Carrier interferometry code is considered as a promising scheme that provides significant performance improvement via frequency diversity effect. Space-time coding is commonly employed to achieve a performance gain through space diversity. The combination of these techniques and forward error correction coding will lead to enhanced system capacity and performance. This paper presents a low-density parity check (LDPC) coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme with carrier interferometry code for high-capacity and high-performance mobile multimedia communications. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed mobile multimedia transmission system offers a considerable performance improvement of approximately 9dB in terms of Eb/No in the Rayleigh fading channel with relatively low delay spread, in comparison with space-time OFDM. Performance gains are further increased, comparing with traditional OFDM systems.
