정량적인 PET 영상에서는 감쇠보정이 매우 중요하며 가장 정확한 방법은 투과스캔을 관심부위에 실시하여 측정된 감쇠보정영상을 만들고, 이를 같은 부위에서 실시한 방출 영상의 재구성에 적용하는 것이다. 기존의 방법은 투과스캔 후에 추적자가 섭취되기까지 장시간이 경과된 후 방출스캔을 하므로 PET스캐너의 효율적 사용에 제한이 있었다. 따라서, 스캔시간을 단축하고 촬영중 환자가 움직일 가능성을 최소화시켜 영상의 질을 개선하고 PET스캐너의 효율을 높이기 위하여, 추적자를 주사한 후 투과 및 방출스캔을 동시에 실시하여, 투과스캔에서의 측정치를 왜곡시키는 방출계수를 빼주는 T+E 감쇠보정 방법을 실행하였다. 배후에는 F-l8 fluoride ion $0.4{\mu}Ci/cc$의 방사능을 가진 물을 실린더 모형(5750 cc)에 채우고, 목적물을 나다내는 1개의 삽입물 실린더(276 cc)에는 F-18 fluoride ion $4.3{\mu}Ci/cc$의 방사능을 주입하고 공기를 주입한 삽입물 실린더와 테플론으로 이루어진 삽입물 실린더를 사용하여 T+E 방법의 특성을 고찰하였다. 투과용선원으로 Ge-68(10 mCi) 회전 핀선원을 사용하여 5시간 동안에 T+E 스캔을 5분, 10분, 20분, 방출스캔을 20분씩 교대로 5차례 실행하여 투과 및 방출영상이 최종 방출영상에 미치는 오차를 측정하였다. T+E 스캔으로 감쇠보정한 방출영상과 기준 투과영상으로 감쇠보정한 방출영상을 비교하면, 목적물의 방사능이 $1.0{\mu}Ci/cc$일 경우 T+E 감쇠보정 방법의 오차는 2.6%이었으며 이 오차는 목적물의 방사능이 줄어들수록 더욱 감소하였다. 또한, T+E 방법으로 구성된 방출영상의 노이즈는 기준 투과스캔 방법으로 보정된 영상에 비하여 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러므로, 회전 핀선원과 투과 및 방출 동시 영상 방법을 사용하여 정확한 감쇠보정을 할 수 있었으며 이 방법은 임상 PET 영상에서 환자당 스캔시간을 줄임으로써, 환자의 움직임으로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 오차를 최소화하여 PET 스캐너의 효율을 높일 수 있었다.

In recent years, world is faced with a transportation energy dilemma, and the transportation is almost dependent on a single fuel - petroleum. However, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) technology holds more advantages to reduce the demand for petroleum in the transportation by efficiency improvements of petroleum consumption. Therefore, there is a trend that lower gear noise levels are demanded in HEV for drivers to avoid annoyance and fatigue during operation. And meshing transmission error (T.E.) is the excitation that leads to the tonal noise known as gear whine, and radiated gear whine is also the dominant source of noise in the whole gearbox. In this paper, the analysis of gear tooth profile and lead modification is firstly presented, and then, the different transmission error of no mesh misalignment and mesh misalignment under one loaded torque for the 1st gear pair of HEV gearbox was investigated and compared. At last, the appropriate tooth modification was used to minimize and compare the transmission error of the gear pair with mesh misalignment under the loaded torque.

Hierarchical modulation has been considered for achieving higher data rates in Terrestrial-DMB(T-DMB) systems. And for achieving a higher data rates transmission, the low-priority (LP) data, which is used to carry additional data, such as video data, audio data and textual data, should be perfectly decoded in a certain value of $E_b/N_o$. Unfortunately, the man-made noise badly affects the high-priority (HP) symbol, which is used to carry the conventional data in the existed T-DMB system; and since the advanced T-DMB system is proposed to fit for the legacy T-DMB receivers, the low-priority symbols in the hierarchical modulation are much worse affected by the neighbors, who are both in the same quadrant. Because of the feature that mentioned previously, the turbo code has been considered to deal with the LP data. And due to the degradation which caused by the shortened symbol distance, the error performance of LP data is not sufficient by only using the turbo code. In this paper, we propose a Reed-Solomon code used outside of turbo code, and with the turbo code, it becomes a concatenated code. In this paper, there are some simulation results, within the comparison of those performances, we can see how a Reed-Solomon code is utilized for degradation of error performance which is caused by the hierarchical constellation, and how to design a Reed-Solomon code which is suitable for improving the degradation of error performance.

이 논문에서는 계층변조를 적용하는 AT-DMB (advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting) 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 블라인드등화 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 살펴본다. AT-DMB 시스템은 기존 T-DMB의 DQPSK (differential quadrature phase-shift keying) 신호와 역방향 호환성을 보장하고 더 높은 데이터 전송률을 지원하기 위해 16-QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation) 계층변조 방식을 적용한다. 이 결과 SNR (signal to noise ratio)에 따라 기존 T-DMB 심볼과 추가된 심볼은 서로 다른 판정오율 (decision error rate)을 가진다. 따라서 판정한 신호로부터 채널을 추정할 때 판정오율이 낮은 선순위 심볼과 판정오율이 높은 후순위 심볼의 신뢰도에 따라 다른 가중치를 줌으로써 판정치의 전체적인 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 계층변조에 따른 비트 오율(bit error rate) 성능의 악화정도를 분석하고, 모의실험을 통해 판정신호의 신뢰도에 따라 가중치를 주는 제안방식이 가중치를 주지 않은 경우에 비해 비트 오율 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an efficient 4K and 8K UHD(Ultra High Definition) transmission scheme is proposed on the convergence networks with broadcasting and LTE(Long Term Evolution) by using CoMP(Coordinated Multi-Point). A video data is compressed and divided into BL(Base Layer), E(Enhanced layer)1, E2 and E3 by scalable HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding). The divided layers can be combined by the scalable HEVC such as mobile HD, full HD, 4K and 8K UHD(Ultra High Definition). The divided layers are transmitted through the convergence networks with DVB-T2(Digital Video Broadcasting-$2^{nd}$ Generation Terrestrial) broadcasting system and LTE CoMP. This scheme transmits mobile HD and full HD layers through DVB-T2 broadcasting system by using M-PLP(Multiple-physical Layer Pipes), and adaptively transmits 4K or 8K UHD layer through LTE CoMP with MMT(MPEG Media Transport) server. An adaptive transmitting and receiving scheme in the LTE CoMP system provides 4K or 8K UHD layer to a user according to the user status. The proposed scheme is verified by showing the system-level simulation results which is better BER(bit-error-rate) performance than the conventional scheme. The results show that the proposed scheme provides the stable video contents to the user especially at the cell edge.

In this paper, we present criteria of objective measurement of speech quality to provide the mobile-VoIP services efficiently over wireless mobile internet. The mobile-VoIP service, which is based on mobility and is error-prone compared to conventional VoIP over wired network, is about to be launched, but there have not been adequate quality indexes and the Quality of Service (QoS) standards for evaluating speech quality of Mobile-VoIP. In addition, there are many factors influencing on the speech quality in packet network of which packet loss contribute directly to the overall voice communication quality. For this reason, we adopt the Gilbert-Elliot Channel Model for modeling packet network based on IP and assess the voice quality through the objective speech method of ITU-T P. 862 PESQ and ITU-T P. 862.1 MOS-LQO under various packet loss rates in the transmission channel environments. Our simulation results address the specific criteria and QoS for the mobile-VoIP services in terms of the various packet loss environments.

IEEE 802.15.4e-TSCH is recognized as a wireless industrial sensor network standard used in IoT systems. To ensure both power savings and reliable communications, the TSCH standard uses techniques including channel hopping and bandwidth reserve. In TSCH mode, scheduling is crucial because it allows sensor nodes to select when data should be delivered or received. Because a wide range of applications may necessitate energy economy and transmission dependability, we present a distributed approach that uses a cluster tree topology to forecast scheduling requirements for the following slotframe, concentrating on the Poisson model. The proposed Optimized Minimal Scheduling Function (OMSF) is interested in the details of the scheduling time intervals, something that was not supported by the Minimal Scheduling Function (MSF) proposed by the 6TSCH group. Our contribution helps to deduce the number of cells needed in the following slotframe by reducing the number of negotiation operations between the pairs of nodes in each cluster to settle on a schedule. As a result, the cluster tree network's error rate, traffic load, latency, and queue size have all decreased.

Relay technology is becoming more important for mobile communications and wireless internet of things (IoT) networking because of the extended access network coverage range and reliable quality of service (QoS) it can provide at low power consumption levels. Existing mobile multihop relay (MMR) technology uses fixed-point stationary relay stations (RSs) and a divided time-frame (or frequency-band) to support the relay operation. This approach has limitations when a local fixed-point stationary RS does not exist. In addition, since the time-frame (or frequency-band) channel resources are pre-divided for the relay operation, there is no way to achieve high channel utilization using intelligent opportunistic techniques. In this paper, a different approach is considered, where the use of mobile/IoT devices as RSs is considered. In applications that use mobile/IoT devices as relay systems, due to the very limited battery energy of a mobile/IoT device and unequal channel conditions to and from the RS, both minimum energy consumption and QoS support must be considered simultaneously in the selection and configuration of RSs. Therefore, in this paper, a mobile RS is selected and configured with the objective of minimizing power consumption while satisfying end-to-end data rate and bit error rate (BER) requirements. For the RS, both downlink (DL) to the destination system (DS) (i.e., IoT device or user equipment (UE)) and uplink (UL) to the base station (BS) need to be adaptively configured (using adaptive modulation and power control) to minimize power consumption while satisfying the end-to-end QoS constraints. This paper proposes a minimum transmission power consuming RS selection and configuration (MPRSC) scheme, where the RS uses cognitive radio (CR) sub-channels when communicating with the DS, and therefore the scheme is named MPRSC-CR. The proposed MPRSC-CR scheme is activated when a DS moves out of the BS's QoS supportive coverage range. In this case, data transmissions between the RS and BS use the assigned primary channel that the DS had been using, and data transmissions between the RS and DS use CR sub-channels. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MPRSC-CR scheme extends the coverage range of the BS and minimizes the power consumption of the RS through optimal selection and configuration of a RS.
