Assigning different frequency resources among adjacent cells, namely the frequency reuse technique can be utilized to mitigate intercell interference, which is a major cause of performance degradation in cellular systems. Since most of conventional frequency reuse patterns are limited to the two-dimensional environment, the research for the three-dimensional frequency reuse would be beneficial especially for the implementation of femto cells in downtown office buildings. We propose frequency reuse patterns in three-dimensional space and evaluate their performance of each pattern in terms of channel capacity. In particular, we show that the proposed three-dimensional frequency reuse patterns can be applied for carrier-aggregated transmission of LTE-Advanced systems. The performance of the proposed patterns is evaluated using computer simulation.

In order to reduce the weight of glass in architecture, automobile, bottles, displays, a new technique that can strengthen glass was developed using various method. Generally, the strength achieved of glass-ceramics is higher as is 1.he fracture toughness by the formation of a crystalline phase inside glass. In this study, $70SiO_2-20Na_2O-10CaO-10TiO_2$ glasses were irradiated to strengthen by heterogeneous phase using femto-second laser pulse. Laser pulse irradiation of samples was analyzed by DTA, TMA, XRD, nano-indenter and SEM. Samples irradiated by laser had lower value$(3\~4\times10^{-3}Pa)$ of nano indentation which related with mother glass$(8\times10-3Pa)$ than values. Microcracks were occurred around laser irradiation area when femtosecond laser with the repetition rate of 1kHz was used as the light source to induced heterogeneous phase.

Lately smartphone uasage is increasing and many Internet of Things (IoT) devices support wireless communications. Accordingly, small base stations which called femtocells are supplied to prevent saturation of existing base stations. However, unlike the original purpose of the femtocell with the advanced hacking technologies, Vulnerability such as gaining the administrator authority was discovered and this can cause serious problems such as the leakage of personal information of femtocell user. Therefore, identify security threats that may occur in the femtocell and it is necessary to ways for systematic vulnerability analysis. In this paper, We analyzed the security threats that can be generated in the femtocell and constructed a checklist for vulnerability analysis using the Threat Modeling method. Then, using the constructed checklist provides a scheme that can improve the safety of the femto cell through the actual analysis and taken the results of the femtocell vulnerabilities analysis.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical model has been developed to effectively study the ventilation efficiency of multi-span greenhouses with internal crops. As the first step of the study, the internal plants of the CFD model had to be designed as a porous media because of the complexity of its physical shapes. In this paper, the results of the wind tunnel tests were introduced to find the aerodynamic resistance of the plant canopy. The Seogun tomato was used for this study which made significant effects on thermal and mass exchanges with the adjacent air as well as internal airflow resistance. With the main factors of wind speed, static pressure, and density of plant canopy, the aerodynamic resistance factor was statically found. It was finally found to be 0.26 which will be used later as an input data of the CFD model. Moreover, the experimental procedure of how to find the aerodynamic resistance of various plants using, wind tunnel was established through this study.

The heterogeneity of crop transpiration is important to clearly understand the microclimate mechanisms and to efficiently handle the water resource in greenhouses. A computational fluid dynamic program (Fluent CFD version 6.2) was developed to study the internal climate and crop transpiration distributions of greenhouses. Additionally, the global solar radiation model and a crop heat exchange model were programmed together. Those models programmed using $C^{++}$ software were connected to the CFD main module using the user define function (UDF) technology. For the developed CFD validity, a field experiment was conducted at a $17{\times}6 m^2$ plastic-covered mechanically ventilated single-span greenhouse located at Pusan in Korea. The CFD internal distributions of air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity at 1m height were validated against the experimental results. The CFD computed results were in close agreement with the measured distributions of the air temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity along the greenhouse. The averaged errors of their CFD computed results were 2.2%,2.1%, and 7.7%, respectively.
