Increasing demand for increasing higher data rate in order to solve computationally tasks timely and connecting many user equipment simultaneously have requested researchers to develop novel technology in the area of mobile communications. Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) have been enabling technologies for commercialization of the fifth generation (5G) networks and the sixth generation (6G) systems. In this paper, we investigate a bit-error rate (BER) analysis on IRS technologies for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. First, we derive a BER expression for IRS-NOMA systems with Rician fading channels. Then, we validate the BER expression by Monte Carlo simulations, and show numerically that BER expressions are in good agreement with simulations. Moreover, we investigate the BER of IRS-NOMA systems with Rician fading channels for various numbers of IRS elements, and show that the BERs improve as the number of IRS elements increases.

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors have been most widely used in terrestrial robotic applications because they can provide dense and precise measurements of the surrounding environments. However, the reliability of LiDAR measurements can considerably vary due to the different reflectivities of laser beams to the reflecting surface materials. This study presents a robust LiDAR-based mapping method for the varying laser reflectivities in indoor environments using the framework of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). The proposed method can minimize the performance degradations in the SLAM accuracy by checking and discarding potentially unreliable LiDAR measurements in the SLAM front-end process. The gaps in point-cloud maps created by the proposed approach are filled by a Gaussian process regression method. Experimental results with a mobile robot platform in an indoor environment are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

This paper presents the development of a control architecture for the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with VARIVEC (variable vector) propeller. Moreover this paper also describes the new technique of controlling the servomotors using the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The AUVs are being currently used fur various work assignments. For the daily measuring task, conventional AUV are too large and too heavy. A small AUV will be necessary for efficient exploration and investigation of a wide range of a sea. AUVs are in the phase of research and development at present and there are still many problems to be solved such as power resources and underwater data transmission. Further, another important task is to make them smaller and lighter for excellent maneuverability and low power. Our goal is to develop a compact and light AUV having the intelligent capabilities. We employed the VARIVEC propeller system utilizing the radio control helicopter elements, which are swash plate and DC servomotors. The VARIVEC propeller can generate six components including thrust, lateral force and moment by changing periodically the blade angle of the propeller during one revolution. It is possible to reduce the number of propellers, mechanism and hence power sources. Our control tests were carried out in an anechoic tank which suppress the reflecting effects of the wall surface. We tested the developed AUV with required performance. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of our approach. Control of VARIVEC propeller was realized without any difficulty.

본 논문은 광강도 변조방식 광섬유 변위센서의 측정 메커니즘을 수식적으로 모델링하여 측정영역과 감도를 원하는 목적에 따라 유연하게 조정할 수 있는 설계모델을 제안하고 있다. 유도된 모델은 스텝 인덱스 광섬유를 적용한 경우로 제한되고 광섬유 센서의 변위 응답영역 중 front slope 측정영역 해석에 초점을 맞추었다. 또한 광섬유 설계 시 유도된 모델 적용이 용이하도록 수치적분 방식의 해석 프로세스를 소개하고 있다. 제안된 모델과 프로세스는 기본 설계변수 별로 실험결과를 통해 비교검증 되었다. 끝으로 검증된 모델을 통해 기본 설계변수에 따른 광섬유 변위센서의 변위응답 특성 경향을 분석하였다.

This paper considers the jointly active and passive beamforming design in the IRS-aided MISO downlink vehicle communication system where both V2I and V2V communication paradigms coexist. We formulate the problem as an optimization problem aiming to minimize the total transmit power of the base station subject to SINR requirements of both V2I and V2V users, total transmit power of base station and IRS's phase shift constraints. To deal with this non-convex problem, we propose a method which can alternately optimize the active beamforming at the base station and the passive beamforming at the IRS. By using first-order Taylor expansion, matrix analysis theory and penalized convex-concave process method, the non-convex optimization problem with coupled variables is converted into two decoupled convex sub-problems. The simulation results show that the proposed alternate optimization algorithm can significantly decrease the total transmit power of the vehicle base station.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks, also known as drone networks, have gained significant attention for their potential in various applications, including communication. UAV networks for communication involve using a fleet of drones to establish wireless connectivity and provide communication services in areas where traditional infrastructure is lacking or disrupted. UAV communication networks need to be highly secured to ensure the technology's security and the users' safety. The proposed survey provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art UAV network security solutions. In this paper, we analyze the existing literature on UAV security and identify the various types of attacks and the underlying vulnerabilities they exploit. Detailed mitigation techniques and countermeasures for the protection of UAVs are described in this paper. The survey focuses on the implementation of novel technologies like Q-learning, blockchain, IRS, and mmWave. This paper discusses network simulation tools that range in complexity, features, and programming capabilities. Finally, future research directions and challenges are highlighted.

본 연구는 고속도로에서 발생한 교통사고 블랙박스 영상을 기반으로 군집분석과 예측모형 비교를 수행하였다. 분석자료로 사고 직전의 도로 및 교통 상황을 파악할 수 있는 차량 주행행태, 노면 상태 등 사고 영상에서 추출이 가능한 항목을 설명변수로 활용하였다. 여러 요소에 의해 영향을 받는 교통사고 데이터의 특징을 고려하여 데이터의 이질성을 반영하는 군집분석을 활용하였다. 군집분석으로 분류된 각 군집을 사고 심각도 수준의 비율을 기준으로 나누고, 종속변수인 인명피해 수준을 반영하여 사고 예측 평가를 수행하였다. 사고 예측모형은 로짓 모형(Logit model)을 적용한 결과, 전체 데이터를 분석한 경우보다 군집분석에 의해 두 개의 사고 심각도 그룹을 분류하여 예측했을 때 우수한 예측 능력을 보여주었다. 이는 군집분석을 통한 그룹별 사고 특성과 사고 심각도를 반영하여 사고위험을 예측하는 것이 더 효과적인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 2차 사고와 같은 정차 중 추돌사고, 차로변경 중 측면 추돌사고 등이 중요한 주행행태변수로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.
