본 논문에서는 고속 이동성을 갖는 통신 시스템에서 회귀 신경망을 기반으로 한 페이딩 신호 예측 기법을 제안하고, 이를 이용한 송신 전력 제어를 제안하였다. 회귀 신경망의 연산 결과를 해석적으로 도출하여, 신경망 특유의 회로 복잡도 문제를 해결하고, 연산된 채널 예측치를 이용하여 최대비 결합(maximum ratio combining)방식으로 여러 개의 송신 안테나에 대하여 채널 이득을 산출하고, 이 산출된 값으로 송신 안테나 각각에 대한 송신 전력을 제어하였다. 모의 실험 결과 채널 예측 기반 전력 제어를 하지 않은 것에 비해 쥐어난 성능을 나타냄을 보여준다. 기존의 대부분의 연구들이 페이딩 신호에 강인한 수신기술에 대하여 연구를 하였거나 페이딩 신호에 대한 채널 예측도 저속의 이동성에 국한되어진 것에 비하여, 제안된 채널예측 방법은 개회로 전력제어에 적용하는 경우 송신단에서 페이딩의 영향을 제거하여 신호를 송신하기 때문에 수신 단에서 여타의 요소기술들을 매우 단순하게 설계하거나 시스템의 복잡도를 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

인지 무선 네트워크에서 스펙트럼 핸드오프는 현재의 전송채널을 다른 유휴채널로 바꾸어 데이터를 전송하는 과정이다. 스펙트럼핸드오프의 목적은 부사용자에게 끊김 없는 데이터전송을 지원하여 지속적인 전송품질을 보장하기 위함이다. 그러나 이와 같은 핸드오프과정은 심각한 전송지연을 야기할 수 있다. 이때 채널 예측을 바탕으로 핸드오프를 실행할 경우 핸드오프에서 시간이 소요되는 부분을 미리 실행하므로 핸드오프 지연을 줄일 수 있고 주사용자에 대한 간섭도 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 통계적 특성이 변화하는 채널 상황에서 채널 예측을 정확성을 높이기 위한 적응적 채널 예측 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 적응적 채널 예측을 바탕으로 하여 핸드오프시점을 미리 추정하고 적절한 채널을 선택하여 핸드오프 과정을 설계하였다.

Cognitive radio (CR) has been proposed to solve the spectrum utilization problem by dynamically exploiting the unused spectrum. In CR networks, a spectrum selection scheme is an important process to efficiently exploit the spectrum holes, and an efficient channel allocation scheme must be designed to minimize interference to the primary network as well as to achieve better spectrum utilization. In this paper, we propose a multichannel selection algorithm that uses spectrum hole prediction to limit the interference to the primary network and to exploit channel characteristics in order to enhance channel utilization. The proposed scheme considers both the interference length and the channel capacity to limit the interference to primary users and to enhance system performance. By using the proposed scheme, channel utilization is improved whereas the system limits the collision rate of the CR packets.

In this paper, a technique is proposed that enables secondary users to evaluate channel availability in cognitive radio networks. Here, secondary users estimate the utilization of channels via predicting the traffic pattern of primary user, and select a proper channel for radio transmission. The proposed technique reduces the channel switching rate of secondary users (the rate of switching from one channel to another) and the interference on primary users, while maintaining a reasonable call blocking rate of secondary users.

The MARS code has been assessed for the prediction of onset of flow instability (OFI) in a vertical channel. For assessment, we built an experiment database that consists of experiments under various geometry and thermal-hydraulic condition. It covers pressure from 0.12 to 1.73 MPa; heat flux from 0.67 to 3.48 MW/m²; inlet sub-cooling from 39 to 166 ℃; hydraulic diameters between 2.37 and 6.45 mm of rectangular channels and pipes. It was shown that the MARS code can predict the OFI mass flux for pipes reasonably well. However, it could not predict the OFI in a rectangular channel well with a mean absolute percentage error of 8.77%. In the cases of rectangular channels, the error tends to depend on the hydraulic diameter. Because the OFI is directly related to the subcooled boiling in a flow channel, we suggest a modified subcooled boiling model for better prediction of OFI in a rectangular channel; the net vapor generation (NVG) model and the modified wall evaporation model were modified so that the effect of hydraulic diameter and heat flux can be accurately considered. The assessment of the modified model shows the prediction of OFI mass flux for rectangular channels is greatly improved.

The effects of channel area on the performance of regenerative type fuel pump were numerically studied by commercial CFD code (ANSYS CFX-10). To examine the effects of channel area, the shapes of the side channel and blade were simplified. The channel area affected the flow characteristics of the internal recirculation flow between the side channel and the blade groove and also made a difference in the overall performance. These loss mechanism with circulation flow were adopted as a loss coefficient in the performance prediction program. The loss coefficient was newly derived from the results of calculations with different channel area, and compared with the experimental results in the reference paper and used to modify the performance prediction program. The circulation flow characteristics with different channel area, which is related with loss mechanism, were also discussed with the results of 3-dimensional flow calculations.

A linear-prediction-based blind equalization algorithm for single-input single-output (SISO) finite impulse response/infinite impulse response (FIR/IIR) channels is proposed. The new algorithm is based on second-order statistics, and it does not require channel order estimation. By oversampling the channel output, the SISO channel model is converted to a special single-input multiple-output (SIMO) model. Two forward linear predictors with consecutive prediction delays are applied to the subchannel outputs of the SIMO model. It is demonstrated that the partial parameters of the SIMO model can be estimated from the difference between the prediction errors when the length of the predictors is sufficiently large. The sufficient filter length for achieving the optimal prediction is also derived. Based on the estimated parameters, both batch and adaptive minimum-mean-square-error equalizers are developed. The performance of the proposed equalizers is evaluated by computer simulations and compared with existing algorithms.

Driven by the growing number of the mobile subscribers, efficient channel resource management plays a key role for provisioning multimedia service in the next generation personal communication systems. To reuse limited channel resources, diminishing the coverage areas of cells seems to be the ultimate solution. Thus, however, causes more handover events. To provide seamless connection environment for mobile terminals and applications, this article presents a novel handover scheme called the intelligent channel reservation (ICR) scheme, which exploits the location prediction technologies to accurately reserve channel resources for handover connections. Considering the fact that each mobile terminal has its individual mobility characteristic, the ICR scheme utilizes a channel reserving notification procedure (CRNP) to collect adequate parameters for predicting the future location of individual mobile terminals. These parameters will be utilized by the handover prediction function to estimate the expected handover blocking rate and the expected number of idle channels. Based on the handover prediction estimations, a cost function for calculating the damages from blocking the handover connections and idling channel resources, and a corresponding algorithm for minimizing the cost function are proposed. In addition, a guard channel decision maker (GCDM) determines the appropriate number of guard channels. The experimental results show that the ICR scheme does reduce the handover-blocking rate while keeping the number of idle channels small.
