Stream flow data was analyzed for determining the lowflow which is the standard for river maintenance flow. Lowflow quantiles were estimated based on the parametric and nonparametric methods and two methods were compared by Monte Carlo simulation study. As the results of the parametric method, three probability distributions such as gamma-2, lognormal-2 and Weibull-2, are selected as appropriate models for stream flow data of 13 stations in Han River Basins. According to simulation results, relative bias (RBIAS) and relative root mean square error (RRMSE) of the lowflow quantiles are the smallest when the applied and population models are the same. The fame statistical properties from the nonparametric models are good within the interpolation range. Among 7 bandwidth selectors used in this study, the RRMSEs of the Park and Marron method (PM) are the smallest while those of the Shoaler and Jones method (SJ) are the largest.

FlashLinQ, one of the typical D2D communication systems developed by Qualcomm, considers a single-tone communication based distributed channel-aware link scheduling method to realize the link scheduling process with low control overheads. However, considering the frequency selective fading effect of practical multi-path channel, the single-tone based SIR estimation causes a critical scheduling error problem because the received single-tone signal has quite different channel gain at each sub-carrier location. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel link scheduling method based on CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation) sequence for D2D communication system. In the proposed method, each link has a unique offset value set for the generation of CAZAC sequences. CAZAC sequences with the cyclic offsets are transmitted using multiple sub-blocks in the entire bandwidth, and then each device can obtain nearly full-band SIR using a good cyclic cross-correlation property of CAZAC sequence.

무선 통신 기술의 발전과 함께 802.11n과 같은 광대역 네트워크 인프라의 구축이 확대됨에 따라, 이에 적합한 높은 성능을 낼 수 있는 전송 계층의 프로토콜이 필요하다. 유선 환경에서 개발된 TCP(Transmission Control Protocol)는 현재 가장 널리 이용하는 전송 프로토콜이다. 하지만 높은 에러율과 긴 딜레이가 발생하는 무선 네트워크상에서는 패킷 손실의 원인을 구별하지 못하기 때문에 성능이 저하된다. 또한, 광대역폭을 지원하는 초고속 네트워크상에서 TCP가 동작할 경우 기존 무선 네트워크에서 처리하는 혼잡윈도우 값보다 커진 값을 제대로 처리하지 못하기 때문에 가용대역폭을 활용하지 못하는 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 초고속 네트워크 안에서 slowstart threshold에 기반하여 가용대역폭을 동적으로 획득하고, 높은 전송률을 보장하는 TCP VEST(TCP Vegas-based Estimator with Slowstart Threshold)를 제안한다. TCP VEST는 기본적으로 송신자기반 무선네트워크에서 우수한 성능을 지원하는 TCP WestwoodVT의 패킷 손실원인 구분법을 사용한다. 그리고 TCP VEST는 패킷 손실의 원인을 구분하고 각각의 경우에 따라서 전송량을 slowstart threshold 값의 변화에 맞춰 조절한다. NS-2를 통한 성능평가에서 VEST는 WestwoodVT와 비교했을 때 링크 에러율이 1%인 환경에서는 20% 이상의 전송률 향상을 나타내며, Westwood와 비교했을 때는 60%의 성능향상이 있다. 또한 초고속 네트워크에서 5%와 10% 사이의 에러율을 가질 때에는 WestwoodVT와는 50%, Westwood와는 300% 이상의 성능향상이 나타남을 보인다. 이를 통해 VEST가 기존의 무선 네트워크와 더불어 초고속 네트워크에서도 동적으로 대역폭을 획득함으로써 높은 전송률을 지원하는 것을 입증한다.

In this paper, we introduce a Parallel Interference Canceller (PIC) based sorting method to improve performance in the MC-DS/CDMA environment. A conventional PIC estimates and subtracts out all of the MAI (Multiple Access Interference) for each user in parallel. The parallel process ensures the low delay for the detection of all users. Also this scheme requires more stages for having better performance. Since the performance of PIC is strongly related to the correct MAI estimation, we introduce the IC (Interference Cancellation) scheme to estimate the accurate weaker signal group than the desired signal using conventional PIC. The principle of the proposed receiver sorts in descending order by the strength of signal and subtracts the MAI of the strong interferers from the desired signal for the accurate estimate of the weaker signals. Following this, the proposed scheme cancels out the improved weaker interference from the desired signal, using the output of the pre-step. In this result, the proposed system obtains better BER performance than the conventional PIC because the accuracy of the strong signal is improved. However, a disadvantage exists in that the processing time has slightly longer delay than the PIC owing to the power sorting and the MAI estimation process. The system performance evaluates and compares other non-liner It according to the number of sub-carriers in the limited-bandwidth.

The main purpose of rate control is to achieve the highest video quality when bandwidth or storage capacity is limited. For this purpose, we need a rate control algorithm which is adaptively controlled by the motion information of sequences, scene change, buffer capacity and time-varing bandwitdh channels. A rate-control method in the encoder requires the accurate estimation of target bit for each frame and the low end-to-end delay for transmitting video data by intelligent selection of encoding parameters. In this paper, we suggest three kinds of linear relation in the encoder to satisfy the characteristics of rate control. The first relation is that between the percentage of zero quantized transformed coefficients(p) and coded bits. Second relation is that between the PSNR of encoded frame and its Quantization parameter(QP). Finally, we can find out a linear approximation between QP and p. According to the experimental analysis, the proposed method results in an efficient rate control in terms of the bit estimation, the buffer capacity, and PSNR compared with the existing rate control in the H.264 JM 9.3.

Cellular Network assisted device-to-device (D2D) communication has been growing to reduce the overload of eNodeB and mitigate the frequency shortage. However, by sharing the uplink frequency resource with the cellular network, the interference between cellular and D2D is increased. In this paper, we propose the advanced receiver based on soft decision to reduce the interference between cellular and D2D. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by calculating the unbiased estimation value of interference signal using minimum mean square error (MMSE) or interference rejection combing (IRC) receiver. The interference signal is updated using soft information expressed by log-likelihood ratio (LLR). We perform a system level simulation based on the 20-MHz bandwidth of the 3GPP LTE-A system. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can improve SINR, throughput and spectral efficiency compared to conventional receivers.

In this paper, a new high resolution reflectometry scheme, time-frequency domain reflectometry (TFDR), is proposed to detect and locate fault in wiring. Traditional reflectometry methods have been achieved in either the time domain or frequency domain only. However, time-frequency domain reflectometry utilizes time and frequency information of a transient signal to detect and locate the fault. The time-frequency domain reflectometry approach described in this paper is characterized by time-frequency reference signal design and post-processing of the reference and reflected signals to detect and locate the fault. Design of the reference signal in time-frequency domain reflectometry is based on the determination of the frequency bandwidth of the physical properties of cable under test. The detection and estimation of the fault on the time-frequency domain reflectometry relies on the time-frequency domain reflectometry is compared with commercial time domain reflectomtery (TDR) instrument. In these experiments provided in this paper, TFDR locates the fault with smaller error than TDR. Knowledge of time and frequency localized information for the reference and reflected signal gained via time-frequency analysis, allows one to detect the fault and estimate the location accurately.

An advanced receiver which can manage inter-cell interference is required to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has discussed network assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) to improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) and receiver performance by suppression or cancellation of interference signal from inter-cells. In this paper, we propose the advanced receiver based on soft decision to reduce the interference from neighbor cell in LTE-Advanced downlink system. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by calculating the unbiased estimation value of interference signal using minimum mean square error (MMSE) or interference rejection combing (IRC) receiver. The interference signal is updated using soft information expressed by log-likelihood ratio (LLR). We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-Advanced downlink system. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can improve SINR, throughput, and spectral efficiency of conventional system.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the concentrated distribution area of nutria (Myocastor coypus) and potential suitable habitat and to provide useful data for the effective management direction setting. Based on the nationwide distribution data of nutria, the cross-validation value was applied to analyze the distribution density. As a result, the concentrated distribution areas thatrequired preferential elimination is found in 14 administrative areas including Busan Metropolitan City, Daegu Metropolitan City, 11 cities and counties in Gyeongsangnam-do and 1 county in Gyeongsangbuk-do. In the potential suitable habitat estimation using a MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy) model, the possibility of emergency was found in the Nakdong River middle and lower stream area and the Seomjin riverlower stream area and Gahwacheon River area. As for the contribution by variables of a model, it showed DEM, precipitation of driest month, min temperature of coldest month and distance from river had contribution from the highest order. In terms of the relation with the probability of appearance, the probability of emergence was higher than the threshold value in areas with less than 34m of altitude, with $-5.7^{\circ}C{\sim}-0.6^{\circ}C$ of min temperature of the coldest month, with 15-30mm of precipitation of the driest month and with less than 1,373m away from the river. Variables that Altitude, existence of water and wintertemperature affected settlement and expansion of nutria, considering the research results and the physiological and ecological characteristics of nutria. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect them as important variables in the future habitable area detection and expansion estimation modeling. It must be essential to distinguish the concentrated distribution area and the management area of invasive alien species such as nutria and to establish and apply a suitable management strategy to the management site for the permanent control. The results in this study can be used as useful data for a strategic management such as rapid management on the preferential management area and preemptive and preventive management on the possible spreading area.
