  • Recently, lack of power reserve margin was observed quite often. In this paper, we studied the method to secure power source for a short time, to cut the utility power peak load, and to reduce the users electricity bills. Emergency diesel generator of an office building is to be converted into a dual-fuel engine generator which is responsible for a portion of the peak load. Compared to the conventional diesel fuel generator, the proposed dual-fuel engine is able to reduce the generation power cost by dual-fuel combustion, and it also mitigates the building's utility power peak load by charging the building's peak load. If the dead resources (a group of emergency dual-fuel engine generators), as a Virtual Power Plant, are operating in peak time, we can significantly reduce future large power development costs. We investigated the current general purpose electricity bills as well as the records of the building electric power usage, and calculated diesel engine generator renovation costs, generation fuel costs, driving conditions, and savings in electricity bills. The proposed dual-fuel engine generation method reduces 18.1% of utility power peak load, and turned out to be highly attractive investment alternative which shows more than 27% of IRR, 76 million won of NPV, and 20~53 months of payback periods. The results of this study are expected to be useful to developing the policy & strategy of the energy department.

  • In pace with the development of network technology at lightning speed, social networks have been extensively applied in our lives. However, as social networks retain a large number of users' sensitive information, the openness of this information makes social networks vulnerable to attacks by malicious attackers. To preserve the link privacy of individuals in social networks, an uncertain graph method based on node random response is devised, which satisfies differential privacy while maintaining expected data utility. In this method, to achieve privacy preserving, the random response is applied on nodes to achieve edge modification on an original graph and node differential privacy is introduced to inject uncertainty on the edges. Simultaneously, to keep data utility, a divide and conquer strategy is adopted to decompose the original graph into many sub-graphs and each sub-graph is dealt with separately. In particular, only some larger sub-graphs selected by the exponent mechanism are modified, which further reduces the perturbation to the original graph. The presented method is proven to satisfy differential privacy. The performances of experiments demonstrate that this uncertain graph method can effectively provide a strict privacy guarantee and maintain data utility.

  • A simple scheduler satisfying the proportional fairness (PF) was introduced in wireless access networks and revealed that it can achieve a good compromise between total throughput and user fairness. Though it has received much attention for some time, its application was mainly restricted to the single channel systems. In this paper, we study how to implement the PF scheduler in the multi-channel environments such as OFDMA/TDMA. Besides the traditional PF-SC scheme, we propose a new PF-OPT scheme that is the genuine PF scheduler in a sense of maximizing the total log-utility of users. The simulation results show that PF-OPT gives large throughput under the heterogeneous subchannel statistics.

  • Wireless mobile multimedia communications have been greatly increased in the number of users, diversity of applications and interface technologies. Wireless mobile networks are being evolved and integrated into IP based core network, so it is necessary to provide sufficient QoS (Quality of Service) mechanism to provide enhanced user's satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive QoS mechanism based on utility function borrowed from the field of microeconomics, call setup and handover signaling mechanism integrating QoS and mobility management. Through a simulation, we show that adaptive resource allocation based on user preferences can be realized in the wireless mobile network with some considerations.

  • The Co-Gen System which maximize energy efficiency was installed at the industrial plants at the initial stage. However Small Scale Co-Gen System was expanded even to the general end-users such as housing and building owing to ESCO business recently. For this SSC, inter-connected operation to the utility is desirable due to voltage and frequency fluctuation following to unbalance between power output and load. Then voltage unbalance with utility system, frequency, increase of short circuit capacity, reclosing, and ALTS etc. should be fully considered for the inter-connected operation. Voltage variation, protection coordination, Co-Generators single running, and short circuit capacity should also be solved. To research the method and solve the problems through the field test and application, we study individual customers Co-Gen System as a case study.

  • Public research, which requires large computational resources, utilizes the supercomputers of the National Supercomputing Center in the Republic of Korea. The average utilization rate of resources over the past three years reached 80%. Therefore, to ensure the operational stability of this national infrastructure, specialized centers have been established to distribute the computational demand concentrated in the national centers. It is necessary to predict the computational demand accurately to build an appropriate resource scale. Therefore, it is important to estimate the inflow and outflow of computational demand between the national and specialized centers to size the resources required to construct specialized centers. We conducted a logit model analysis using the probabilistic utility theory to derive the preferences of individual users for future supercomputer resources. This analysis shows that the computational demand share of specialized centers is 59.5%, which exceeds the resource utilization plan of existing specialized centers.

  • 전통적인 빈발 패턴 마이닝은 데이터베이스로부터 사용자 정의 최소 임계치 이상의 빈도수를 가지는 유효 패턴들을 식별한다. 적절한 임계치 설정은 해당 도메인에 대한 사전 지식을 요구하므로 쉬운 작업이 아니다. 따라서 임계치 설정을 통한 마이닝 결과의 정밀한 제어 불가능으로 인해 도메인 지식을 기반으로 하지 않는 패턴 마이닝 방법이 필요하게 되었다. 상위 K 빈발 패턴 마이닝은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안되었으며, 임계치 설정 없이 상위 K개의 중요 패턴들을 마이닝 한다. 사용자는 이를 적용함으로써 데이터베이스에 상관없이 가장 높은 빈도수의 패턴부터 K번째로 높은 빈도수의 패턴까지 찾아낼 수 있다. 비록 상위 K 빈발 패턴 마이닝이 임계치 설정 없이 상위 K개의 중요 패턴들을 마이닝 하지만, 트랜잭션 내 아이템 수량과 데이터베이스 내 서로 다른 아이템 중요도를 고려하지 못하여 많은 실세계 응용의 요구에 부합하지 못한다. 하이 유틸리티 패턴 마이닝은 아이템 중요도가 포함된 비 바이너리 데이터베이스의 특성을 고려하기 위해 제안되었으나 최소 임계치를 필요로 한다. 최근 임계치 설정 없는 하이 유틸리티 패턴 마이닝을 위한 상위 K 하이 유틸리티 패턴 마이닝이 개발되었으며, 이를 통해 사용자는 사전 지식 없이 원하는 수의 패턴을 마이닝 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 상위 K 하이 유틸리티 패턴 마이닝을 위한 알고리즘을 분석한다. 최신 알고리즘에 대한 성능분석을 통해 개선사항 및 발전 방향에 대해 고찰한다.

  • We consider a system where a licensed radio spectrum is shared by multiple primary users(PUs) and secondary users(SUs). As the spectrum of interest is licensed to primary network, power and channel allocation must be carried out within the cognitive radio network so that no excessive interference is caused to PUs. For this system, we study the joint beamforming and power allocation problem via game theory in this paper. The problem is formulated as a non-cooperative beamforming and power allocation game, subject to the interference constraints of PUs as well as the peak transmission power constraints of SUs. We design a joint beamforming and power allocation algorithm for maximizing the total throughput of SUs, which is implemented by alternating iteration of minimum mean square error based decision feedback beamforming and a best response based iterative power allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance than an existing algorithm and can converge to a locally optimal sum utility.

  • The spectrum scarcity crisis has resulted in a shortage of resources for many emerging wireless services, and research on dynamic spectrum management has been used to solve this problem. Game theory can allocate resources to users in an economic way through market competition. In this paper, we propose a bidding game-based spectrum allocation mechanism in cognitive radio network. In our framework, primary networks provide heterogeneous wireless service and different numbers of channels, while secondary users have diverse bandwidth demands for transmission. Considering the features of traffic and QoS demands, we design a weighted interference graph-based grouping algorithm to divide users into several groups and construct the non-interference user-set in the first step. In the second step, we propose the dynamic bidding game-based spectrum allocation strategy; we analyze both buyer's and seller's revenue and determine the best allocation strategy. We also prove that our mechanism can achieve balanced pricing schema in competition. Theoretical and simulation results show that our strategy provides a feasible solution to improve spectrum utilization, can maximize overall utility and guarantee users' individual rationality.
