Jacket matrices, motivated by the complex Hadamard matrix, have played important roles in signal processing, communications, image compression, cryptography, etc. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach to design a simple class of space-time block codes (STBCs) to reduce its peak-to-average power ratio. The proposed code provides coding gain due to the characteristics of the complex Hadamard matrix, which is a special case of Jacket matrices. Also, it can achieve full rate and full diversity with the simple decoding. Simulations show the good performance of the proposed codes in terms of symbol error rate. For generality, a kind of quasi-orthogonal STBC may be similarly designed with the improved performance.

We propose a new space-time block coding (STBC) for asynchronous cooperative systems in full-duplex mode. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission technique is used to combat the timing errors from the relay nodes. At the relay nodes, only one OFDM time slot is required to delay for a pair-wise symbol swap operation. The decoding complexity is lower for this new STBC than for the traditional quasi-orthogonal STBC. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves excellent performances.

This paper investigates the power allocation and outage performance of MIMO full-duplex relaying (MFDR), based on orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), in cognitive radio systems. OSTBC transmission is used as a simple means to achieve multi-antenna diversity gain. Cognitive MFDR systems not only have the advantage of increasing spectral efficiency through spectrum sharing, but they can also extend coverage through the use of relays. In cognitive MFDR systems, the primary user experiences interference from the secondary source and relay simultaneously, owing to full duplexing. It is therefore necessary to optimize the transmission powers at the secondary source and relay. In this paper, we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme based on minimizing the outage probability in cognitive MFDR systems. We also analyse the outage probability of the secondary user in noise-limited and interference-limited environments in Nakagami-m fading channels. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve performance improvements in terms of reducing outage probability.

In order to investigate the dynamic impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced full light-weight concretes, we implemented drop weight impact test on a total of 6 reinforced beams with 0, 1 and 2%, steel fiber volume fraction. The purpose of this test was to determine the failure modes of beams under different impact energies. Then, we compared and analyzed the time-history curves of impact force, midspan displacement and reinforcement strain. The obtained results indicated that the deformations of samples and their steel fibers were proportional to impact energy, impact force, and impact time. Within reasonable ranges of parameter values, the effects of impact size and impact time were similar for all volumetric contents of steel fibers, but they significantly affected the crack propagation mechanism and damage characteristics of samples. Increase of the volumetric contents of steel fibers not only effectively reduced the midspan displacement and reinforcement strain of concrete samples, but also inhibited crack initiation and propagation such that cracks were concentrated in the midspan areas of beams and the frequency of cracks at supports was reduced. As a result, the tensile strength and impact resistance of full light-weight concrete beams were significantly improved.

Scattering source calculations using conventional spherical harmonic expansion may require lots of computation time to treat full-coupled three-dimensional photon-electron transport in a highly anisotropic scattering medium where their scattering cross sections should be expanded with very high order (e.g., $P_7$ or higher) Legendre expansions. In this paper, we introduce a modified scattering kernel approach to avoid the unnecessarily repeated calculations involved with the scattering source calculation, and used it with parallel computing to effectively reduce the computation time. Its computational efficiency was tested for three-dimensional full-coupled photon-electron transport problems using our computer program which solves the multi-group discrete ordinates transport equation by using the discontinuous finite element method with unstructured tetrahedral meshes for complicated geometrical problems. The numerical tests show that we can improve speed up to 17~42 times for the elapsed time per iteration using the modified scattering kernel, not only in the single CPU calculation but also in the parallel computing with several CPUs.

본 논문에서는 마이크로 스트립의 불연속의 해석시 full-wave FDTD 해석방법이 가지고 있는 긴 계산시간과 많은 양의 메모리를 수직성분 계산방법으로 해석함으로서 줄일 수 있음을 보였다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 마이크로 스트립구조를 갖는 저역통과 필터, 패치안테나, branch-line coupler에 적용하고, 그 특성을 해석하였으며, 이를 기존의 full-wave 방법과 계산시간, 메모리 양을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비하여 계산시간과 메모리 양이 각각 약 50%, 33%가 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 방법을 통하여 기존의 FDTD에 비하여 좀더 빠르면서, 적은 양의 메모리가 사용되는 해석이 가능하다.

This article presents a study of the largest-ever (height = 220 m) cooling tower using the large eddy simulation (LES) method. Information about fluid fields around the tower and 3D aerodynamic time history in full construction process were obtained, and the wind pressure distribution along the entire tower predicted by the developed model was compared with standard curves and measured curves to validate the effectiveness of the simulating method. Based on that, average wind pressure distribution and characteristics of fluid fields in the construction process of ultra-large cooling tower were investigated. The characteristics of fluid fields in full construction process and their working principles were investigated based on wind speeds and vorticities under different construction conditions. Then, time domain characteristics of ultra-large cooling towers in full construction process, including fluctuating wind loads, extreme wind loads, lift and drag coefficients, and relationship of measuring points, were studied and fitting formula of extreme wind load as a function of height was developed based on the nonlinear least square method. Additionally, the frequency domain characteristics of wind loads on the constructing tower, including wind pressure power spectrum at typical measuring points, lift and drag power spectrum, circumferential correlations between typical measuring points, and vertical correlations of lift coefficient and drag coefficient, were analyzed. The results revealed that the random characteristics of fluctuating wind loads, as well as corresponding extreme wind pressure and power spectra curves, varied significantly and in real time with the height of the constructing tower. This study provides references for design of wind loads during construction period of ultra-large cooling towers.

본 논문에서는 고성능 HEVC 부호기를 위한 Inter Prediction SAD연산 구조의 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. HEVC Inter Prediction에서의 Motion Estimation(ME)은 시간적 중복성을 제거하기 위하여 보간 된 참조 픽처에서 현재 PU와 상관도가 높은 예측 블록을 탐색하는 과정이다. ME는 전역 탐색(full search, FS) 알고리즘과 고속 탐색(fast search) 알고리즘을 이용한다. 전역 탐색 기법은 주어진 탐색 영역내의 모든 후보 블록에 대하여 움직임을 예측하기 때문에 최적의 결과를 보장하지만 연산량 및 연산시간이 많은 단점을 지닌다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 Inter Prediction의 연산량 및 연산시간을 줄이기 위해 전역탐색에서 SAD연산을 재사용하여 연산 복잡도를 줄이는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 HEVC 표준 소프트웨어 HM16.12에 적용하여 검증한 결과 기존 전역탐색 알고리즘보다 연산시간은 61%, BDBitrate는 11.81% 감소하였고, BDPSNR은 약0.5% 증가하였다.

본 논문에서는 4개의 전송 안테나 시스템에서 좌표축 인터리빙된 직교 신호로 디자인(Coordinate interleaved orthogonal design: CIOD)된 시 공간 블록 부호(Space time block code: STBC)가 시간 선택적 페이딩 채널인 1차 Markov 채널을 통과하였을 때에 성능 분석을 다룬다. 채널이 준 정지 페이딩 채널(Quasi-static fading channel)일 경우 STBC-CIOD는 최대 전송률과 최대 다이버시티(Full rate full diversity: FRFD)를 만족하고, 단일 심볼 복호가 가능한(single symbol decodable: SSD) 코드이나, 시간 선택적 페이딩 환경에서는 신호간의 간섭이 생기므로 FRFD을 만족시키더라도 단일 심볼 복호를 수행하였을 때 간섭에 의한 성능 열화가 생길 것이다. 심볼 오류율(Symbol error rate: SER)의 Union bound를 신호 쌍 오류 확률(pairwise error probability)을 유도하여 구한다. 그리고 4-ary PSK 신호에 대한 모의실험을 통하여 유도된 심볼 오류율을 구하고 이를 수식으로 구한 심볼 오류율의 union bound 와 비교한다.
