Owing to the intermittent power generation of renewable energy sources (RESs), future wireless cellular networks are required to reliably aggregate power from retailers. In this paper, we propose a distributed power allocation (DPA) scheme for base stations (BSs) powered by retailers with heterogeneous RESs in order to deal with the unreliable power supply (UPS) problem. The goal of the proposed DPA scheme is to maximize our well-defined utility, which consists of power satisfaction and unit power costs including added costs as a non-subscriber, based on linear and quadratic cost models. To determine the optimal amount of DPA, we apply dual decomposition, which separates the master problem into sub-problems. Optimal power allocation from each retailer can be obtained by iteratively coordinating between the BSs and retailers. Finally, through a mathematical analysis, we show that the proposed DPA can overcome the UPS for BSs powered from heterogeneous RESs.

최근 3세대 이동통신의 오류정정부호의 표준으로 채택된 터보 코드는 샤논의 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이며, 반복적인 디코딩 과정의 특성상 이동통신 시스템에서 전력 소모가 많은 블록 중 하나이다. 따라서 이동통신 기기의 전력 소모를 최소화하기 위한 노력으로 터보 디코더의 전력 소모를 줄이는 방법들에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 디코딩 가능 임계값과 불가능 임계값 등 두개의 정지 기준을 적용함으로써 기존의 반복 디코딩 정지 기준 알고리즘을 개선하여, 오류정정 성능과 전력 소모면에서 기존의 방법보다 효율적인 새로운 터보 디코더 기술을 개발하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 기존의 대표적인 방법에 비하여, 전체 12500회 실험 중 잘못된 오류정정 횟수는 평균적으로 89% 감소시키고 반복 디코딩 횟수는 29% 감소시킬 수 있었다.

In wireless sensor network, since each sensor is equipped with a limited power, efficient use of the energy is important. One possible network management scheme is to cluster the sensors into several sets, so that the sensors in each of the sets can completely perform the monitoring task. Then the sensors in one set become active to perform the monitoring task and the rest of the sensors switch to a sleep state to save energy. Therefore, we rotate the roles of the active set among the sensors to maximize the network lifetime. In this paper, we suggest an optimal algorithm for the maximum lifetime coverage problem which maximizes the network lifetime. For comparison, we implemented both the heuristic proposed earlier and our algorithm, and executed computational experiments. Our algorithm outperformed the heuristic concerning the obtained network lifetimes, and it found the solutions in a reasonable amount of time.

무선 중계기 기술은 기지국과 음영 지역 사용자와의 통신을 가능케 함으로써 안정적인 신호 전송을 가능케 하고 셀 영역을 넓힐 수 있어 차세대 무선통신 핵심 기술로 주목받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에서 복수개의 복조 후 전달 (DF) 중계기를 사용할 때, 고정된 비트당 오율 (BER) 및 전력 합 조건을 만족하면서 데이터전송률을 높일 수 있는 송신 전력 및 부반송파 할당 기법들을 제안한다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법들의 평균 전송률을 비교 평가하였다. 최적의 성능을 갖는 exhaustive 기법에 비교하였을 때, 제안하는 기법은 달성 가능한 평균 전송률 값의 차이가 거의 없으면서도 계산 복잡도는 크게 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The spread of IoT (Internet of Things) technology that connects objects based on wired / wireless networks is accelerating, and IoT-based smart home technology that constitutes a super connected network connecting sensors and home appliances existing inside and outside the home is getting popular. In addition, demand for alternative energy technologies such as photovoltaic power generation is rapidly increasing due to rapid increase of consumption of energy resources. Recently, small solar power systems for general households as well as large solar power systems for installation in large buildings are being introduced, but they are effectively implemented due to limitations of small solar panels and lack of power management technology. In this paper, we have studied smart home structure and IoT / IoL device discovery algorithm for energy harvesting system based on photovoltaic power generation, It is possible to construct an efficient smart home system for device control.

To improve spectrum and energy efficiency in the fifth generation (5G) wireless channels, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) transmissions have been envisioned, possibly towards the sixth generation (6G) networks. In this paper, we analyze the bit-error rate (BER) performance of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. First, we derive a closed-form expression of the BER in terms of Q functions. Then we analyze the BER improvement of the IRS NOMA system over the conventional NOMA system with respect to the power allocation. Furthermore, we also demonstrate numerically the BER improvement of the IRS NOMA network over the conventional NOMA network in respect of the number of reflecting devices.

Wireless sensor network is one of prospective methods for railway monitoring due to the long-term operation and low-maintenance performances. How to supply power to the wireless sensor nodes has drawn much attention recently. In railway monitoring, the idea of converting ambient vibration energy from vibration of railway track induced by passing trains to electric energy has made it a potential way for powering the wireless sensor nodes. In this paper, a bimorph cantilever piezoelectric energy harvester was designed based on a single degree-of-freedom model. Experimental test was also performed to validate the design. The first natural frequency of the bimorph piezoelectric energy harvester was decreased from 117.1 Hz to 65.2 Hz by adding 4 gram tip mass to the free end of the 8.6 gram energy harvester. In addition, the power generation of the piezoelectric energy harvester with 4 gram tip mass at resonant frequency was increased from 0.14 mW to 0.74 mW from $2.06m/s^2$ base excitation compared to stand-alone piezoelectric energy harvester without tip mass.
