The performance of underwater acoustic communication systems is sensitive to inter-symbol interference caused by delay spread developed from multipath signal propagation. The multipath nature of underwater channels causes signal distortion and error floor. In order to improve the performance, it is necessary to employ an iterative coding scheme. Of the various iterative coding schemes, turbo code and convolutional code based on the BCJR algorithm have recently dominated this application. In this study, the performance of iterative codes based on turbo equalizers with equivalent coding rates and similar code word lengths were analyzed. Underwater acoustic communication system experiments using these two coding techniques were conducted on Kyeong-chun Lake in Munkyeong City. The distance between the transmitter and receiver was 400 m, and the data transfer rate was 1 Kbps. The experimental results revealed that the performance of turbo codes is better for channeling than that of convolutional codes that use a BCJR decoding algorithm.

This paper describes a countermeasure of electric utilities and customer equipment in order to minimize an effect of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment on the voltage disturbances. After being studied, some schemes to solve were discovered. Firstly, in the electric utilities, the reduction of frequency and influence of voltage drop's time are not easy to realize because of the standpoint of effect and economy. Secondly, in the customer equipment, there are some equipment to minimize the voltage disturbances, Such as an UPSs, a noise suppressors and a power conditioners. One of them should be established on the computer control and automated systems, the electromagnetic switch of delay-release type should be adopted on the electromagnetic switch, the controlling circuit should be adopted on the variable speed motors which is being considered a countermeasure for a momentary under-voltage drops, the luminaire adhering a instantaneous restrike device should be adopted on the HID lamp. And also, the scheme of extending a setting time of relay on the undervoltage relay and the forming method of sequence which is automatic reclosing at this time of instantaneous suspension of an electric supply have been studied.

IEEE 802.15.4 is a standard for LWPAN based on TDMA. IEEE 802.15.4 has not been used widely because of restrictions on the QoS, scalability, and reliability. IEEE 802.15.4 utilizes GTS for one-hop QoS transmission. However GTS is not an effective method to satisfy QoS in multi-hop environments. Currently IEEE 802.15.4e, an extended version of IEEE 802.15.4 MAC sub-layer, is being developed to satisfy more diverse performance requirements than IEEE 802.15.4. IEEE 802.15.4e provides muti-hop QoS transmission functionality and uses multiple frequency channels. In this paper, a multi-channel TDMA scheduling scheme is proposed to satisfy end-to-end transmission delay in IEEE 802.15.4e. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using simulation.

The objective of this paper is to provide service continuity based on an efficient subchannel allocation in OFDMA systems. The resource management for handover are necessary to maintain the QoS requirements of different multimedia applications because the service continuity may be defected by some delay and information loss. Therefore we propose two subchannel management schemes applied to OFDMA systems. Firstly, a superposition allocation of interference subchannels is achieved by modifying a frequency reuse scheme, using co-subchannel interference principle. Secondly for handover applications, we suggest a novel subchannel reservation scheme to adjust the number of allocated channels, depending on the different characteristics and diverse quality of mobile multimedia applications. Simulation results show that the total throughput for the proposed method is increased up to 20% at average and peak arrivals and the handover failure rate is decreased to about 25%, as compared to the conventional method.

The integrity monitoring of anomalous GPS signal have been researched because of the degradation of GPS satellite performance. It is known that anomalous GPS signal can occur by failure of GPS satellite, sudden increase of ionosphere delay error, SA, wrong modeling for navigation parameters from control segment, and an electromagnetic wave interference, etc. In case of GPS anomaly by satellites can arise from carrier frequency, code and navigation message. In this paper, the scenarios with navigation message errors were made by using GPS simulator, and the influences of GPS navigation message error to receiver were analysed. The anomalies of preamble, bits related TOW count message, subframe ID in HOW, bits related satellite healthy, and the other navigation message errors were described and simulated. Also, the number of satellites, DOP and pseudorange are analyzed to know how the anomalous signal can affect on GPS receiver.

In this paper, we propose a novel Route_Reconf message as the RSVP message to maintain an RSVP session for hard handoff and consider path-comparing route (PCR) a PCR algorithm to find an intermediate node in the charge of downlink re-establishment. And, we consider information form each mode for the PCR algorithm, which also reduces the frequency and amount of exchanged RSVP message to minimize packet loss and delay between an intermediate node and a receiver. According to the proposed algorithm, a new support node (NSN) and an existing support node (ESN) along the RSVP path can be found; the former is a supporting RSVP session node newly searched and the latter is the last supporting node holding the previous session after handoff. On receiving the Route_Reconf message at the ESN, a new allocated route from a NSN to the MN waiting for the handoff via a new AR is configured by the ESN.

In this paper, we propose a new vision-based fire detection method for a real-life application. Most previous vision-based methods using color information and temporal variation of pixel produce frequent false alarms because they used a lot of heuristic features. Furthermore there is also computation delay for accurate fire detection. To overcome these problems, we first detected candidated fire regions by using background modeling and color model of fire. Then we made probabilistic models of fire by using a fact that fire pixel values of consecutive frames are changed constantly and applied them to a Bayesian Network. In this paper we used two level Bayesian network, which contains the intermediate nodes and uses four skewnesses for evidence at each node. Skewness of R normalized with intensity and skewnesses of three high frequency components obtained through wavelet transform. The proposed system has been successfully applied to many fire detection tasks in real world environment and distinguishes fire from moving objects having fire color.

This study conducted a quantitative assessment on the environmental flows associated with climate change in the Gosam Reservoir, Korea. The application of RCP 8.5 climate change scenario has found that the peak value of High Flow Pulses has increased by 36.0 % on average compared to historical data (2001 ~ 2010), which is likely to cause disadvantage on flood control and management but the increase in peak value is expected to make a positive impact on resolving the issue of green algal blooms, promoting vegetation in surrounding areas and encouraging spawning and providing habitats for native species by releasing a larger amount of landslides as well as organic matters than the past. However, the decreasing pattern of the peak value of High Flow Pulses is quite apparent with the trend of delay on the occurrence time of peak value, necessitating a long-term impact analysis. The peak value of Large Floods shows a clear sign of decrease against climate change scenario, which is expected to lead to changes in fish species caused by degraded quality of water and decreasing habitats. A quicker occurrence of Small Floods is also expected to make an impact on the growth cycle of aquatic plants, and the reduction in occurrence frequency of Extreme Low Flows is to contribute to increasing the population of and raising the survival rate of native fish, greatly improving the aquatic ecosystem. The results of this study are expected to be useful to establish the water environment and ecological system in adapting or responding to climate change.

This paper presents a robust air-to-fuel ratio (AFR) control algorithm for managing exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. In order to handle production tolerance, deterioration and parameter-varying characteristics of the EGR system, quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is applied for designing the robust AFR control algorithm. A plant model of EGR system is approximated by the first order transfer function plus time-delay (FOPTD) model. EGR valve position and AFR of exhaust gas are used as input/output variables of the plant model. Through engine experiments, parameter uncertainty of the plant model is identified in a fixed engine operating point. Requirement specifications of robust stability and reference tracking performance are defined and these are fulfilled by the following steps: during loop shaping process, a PID controller is designed by using a nominal loop transmission function represented on Nichols chart. Then, the frequency response of closed-loop transfer function is used for designing a prefilter. It is validated that the proposed QFT-based AFR control algorithm successfully satisfy the requirements through experiments of various engine operating points.

In this paper, a control method of a mini ozone generator is proposed, and also a cooling technique is described which is cooling down the flowing air gap into a silent discharger to $2^{\circ}C$ to generate ozone of high density and diffusing power. As the digital control system for this method, a double feedback loop is designed which detects the voltage and current of equivalent capacitor of the discharger and compensates for the poor power waveform caused by the noise at high discharging frequency. During the plant modeling of this system, computing time factor is considered as a unique parameter of the power system to improve the transient responses with regard to fluctuating load and to replenish the computing time delay of the controller. Through the experiment, sinusoidal input current for discharger can be acquired and all the effectiveness of this accurate control system over unstable ozone discharger are proved.
