Decode-and-forward relaying is a promising enhancement to existing radio access networks and is already standardized in 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) as a part of long term evolution (LTE)-Advanced Release 10. Two inband operation modes of relay nodes are supported, namely type 1 and type lb. Relay nodes promise to offer considerable gain for system capacity or coverage, depending on the deployment prioritization, in a cost-efficient way. Yet, in order to fully exploit the benefits of relaying, the inter-cell interference which is increased due to the presence of relay nodes should be limited. Moreover, large differences in the received power levels from different users should be avoided. The goal is to keep the receiver dynamic range low in order to retain the orthogonality of the single carrier-frequency division multiple access system. In this paper, an evaluation of the relay based heterogeneous deployment within the LTE-Advanced uplink framework is carried out by applying the standardized LTE Release 8 power control scheme both at evolved node B and relay nodes. In order to enhance the overall system performance, different power control optimization strategies are proposed for 3GPP urban and suburban scenarios. A comparison between type 1 and type 1b relay nodes is as well presented to study the effect of the relaying overhead on the system performance in inband relay deployments. Comprehensive system level simulations show that the power control is a crucial means to increase the cell edge and system capacities, to mitigate inter-cell interference and to adjust the receiver dynamic range for both relay node types.

A design and control of electrostatic suspension system for flexible objects is presented. A number of electrode pairs of which the number depends on the object flexibility are positioned above the object and the voltages applied to each electrode pair are controlled, independently on the others, on the basis of the gap length. To implement the system with low cost and compactness, switched-voltage control scheme that is based on the relay feedback control is utilized. Relay feedback control method deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a DC voltage of positive and/or negative polarity and thus high voltage amplifiers that are costly and bulky are not needed any more. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping originating from the electrodes and levitated object. Employing fourteen electrode pairs, a thin aluminum plate with a thickness of 0.1 mm has been suspended at a gap length of 0.75mm.

본 논문에서는 이동성을 갖춘 릴레이를 도입한 다중 셀 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)-TDD (Time Division Duplex) 시스템에서 각 셀의 수율을 개별적으로 최대화시키기 위한 분산형 이동 릴레이 전력 제어 방식 (Distributed Mobile Relay Power Control; DMRPC)을 제안한다. DMRPC 방식을 사용한 릴레이 시스템에서는 서로 다른 셀 간 협력과 그에 따른 시그널링 오버헤드 없이 각 셀에서 개별적으로 릴레이의 전력 레벨을 제어한다. DMRPC 방식을 사용한 시스템이 전력 제어 없이 릴레이를 사용한 최대 전력 릴레이 시스템과, 릴레이를 사용하지 않은 기존 시스템에 비하여 향상된 셀 수율 성능을 보이는 것을 모의 실험을 통하여 검증한다. 또한, 최대 전력 릴레이 시스템이 기존 시스템에 비해 셀 외곽 지역 평균 수율 성능이 떨어지는 반면, DMRPC 방식을 사용하면 기존 시스템에 거의 근접한 셀 외곽 지역 평균 수율 성능을 얻을 수 있는 것을 보인다.

A simple and cost-effective method for the electrostatic suspension of thin plates like silicon wafers is proposed which is based on a switched voltage control scheme. It operates according to a relay feedback control and deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a dc voltage of positive and/or negative polarity. This method possesses the unique feature that no high-voltage amplifiers are needed which leads to a remarkable system simplification relative to conventional methods. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping origination from the air between the electrodes and levitated object. Using this scheme, a 4-inch silicon wafer was levitated stably with airgap variation decreasing down to 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ at an airgap of 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$

본 논문에서는 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 시스템의 Relay 환경에서 효율적 serving cell 선택을 위한 power control 기법을 제안한다. Relay를 사용하는 환경에서 UE가 백홀 링크의 채널 상태를 고려하지 못하는 기존의 serving cell 선택 과정은 백홀 링크 (backhaul link)가 좋지 않은 상황에서도 액세스 링크 (access link)가 다이렉트 링크 (direct link)보다 채널 상태가 좋다면 RN (Relay Node)을 serving cell로 선택하여 최대 throughput을 얻을 수 없는 문제점을 갖는다. 또한, 제안된 기존의 해결 기법인 eNB (evolved NodeB)나 RN이 백홀 링크의 채널 정보를 리포팅하는 방식은 추가적인 데이터 전송이 필요하고, UE (User Equipment)가 백홀 링크의 채널 상태까지 고려하여 serving cell을 선택하기 때문에 serving cell 선택 과정의 복잡도가 증가하며, 백홀 링크의 채널 상태가 좋지 않아서 serving cell을 eNB로 선택한 경우에 RN에 의한 강한 간섭의 영향으로 수산 신호가 열화되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 RN이 백홀 링크의 수신 SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) 에 따라 송신 전력을 조절하는 power control 기법을 제안하며, 다양한 모의실험을 이용한 성능 분석을 통해 제안하는 방식이 3GPP LTE-Advanced 시스템의 Relay 환경에서 매우 유용한 것을 입증하였다.

In the manufacture of flat panel display devices, there is a strong demand for contactless glass panel handling devices that can manipulate a glass panel without contaminating or damaging it. To fulfill this requirement, an electrostatic suspension device far glass panels where the glass panel is supported by electrostatic forces without any mechanical contact is proposed. To implement the system with low cost and compactness, switched-voltage control scheme that is based on the relay feedback control is utilized. Relay feedback control method deploys only a single high-voltage power supply that can deliver a DC voltage of positive and/or negative polarity and thus high voltage amplifiers that are costly and bulky are not needed any more. It is shown that despite the inherent limit cycle property of the relay feedback based control, an excellent performance in vibration suppression is attained due to the presence of a relatively large squeeze film damping originating from the electrodes and levitated object. Using this scheme, a $100{\times}100mm^2$ glass panel was levitated stably with airgap variation decreasing down to $1\;{\mu}m$ at an airgap of $100\;{\mu}m$.

It needs a skillful experience to design and implement sequential circuits with a relay circuit or LD (Ladder Diagram). One makes out the operation of relay contacts sequentially in case of analyzing a relay circuit or LD. Still more, the design and analyzing of a complex relay circuit or LD are difficult. In this paper, we propose the EMFG (Extended Mark Graph) representation on relay circuits and LD.

It is very difficult to control batch reactor with conventional linear controller due to its severe nonlinearity. To control the nonlinearity of batch reactor, we applied with relay feedback method and SOAS. The SOAS can be designed to work quite well, but it requires engineering effect and some knowledge about the process in order to get a satisfactory performance of the closed loop system For the applications to more reliable, further studies on robustness in various situations and process noises and would be required.
