This paper proposes the architecture and major functionalities of IT converged smart outdoor exercise equipment and health cashback system. It provides basic information such as date, time, weather information, and display the amount of exercise, thermal images for monitoring the change of user's body temperature and health cashback point. The amount of exercise is transferred to a health cashback server via mobile communication network and the server provides the exercise history and health cashback point. Also, as additional public services, a fine dust alarm light and an emergency alarm function are embedded. The proposed IT converged smart outdoor exercise equipment will be a reference model for studying and commercializing the next generation product.

The phenomena of higher channel cross polarization discrimination (XPD) is mainly observed for future wireless technologies such as small cell network and massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. Therefore, utilization of high XPD is very important and space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) with dual-polarized MIMO system could be a suitable solution to high-speed transmission in high XPD environment as well as reduction of array size at base station (BS). By SPDMA with dual-polarized MIMO system, two parallel data signals can be transmitted by both vertically and horizontally polarized antennas to serve different mobile stations (MSs) simultaneously compare to conventional space division multiple access (SDMA) with single-polarized MIMO system. This paper analyzes the performance of SPDMA for maximum ratio transmission (MRT) in time division duplexing (TDD) system by proposed dual-polarized MIMO spatial channel model (SCM) compare to conventional SDMA. Simulation results indicate that how SPDMA utilizes the high XPD as the number of MS increases and SPDMA performs very close to conventional SDMA for same number of antenna elements but half size of the array at BS.

재난은 다양한 원인에 의하여 예측 불가능하게 발생되고 있다. 정보화의 진전에 따라 네트워크는 모든 경제활동의 근간이 되어 있으며, 재난이 발생하면 재난복구 및 구난 활동 등에 통신기능의 활용도가 더욱 높아진다. 특히 통신 장애를 일으키는 통신재난이 발생하면 그 파급효과는 빠르고, 넓게 확산되는 경향을 보인다. 국내.외적으로 국가 주요 활동의 정보통신의 의존도가 증가하고, 정보통신 기반의 복잡도와 개방성이 증가하여 위협 및 취약성이 증대하며, 정보전(cyber warfare)의 공격 위협이 증대하는데 비교하여, 통신 부문의 민영화에 따라 공공 부문 보호 영역이던 통신 부문이 민간 부문으로 확대되어 다양한 위협에 노출되어 있는 실정이다. 따라서 최근에는 통신 네트워크와 서비스를 정보통신 시스템과 서비스에 대한 독립적인 보호와 보안이라는 차원에서 한걸음 더 나아가 " 국가주요 기반 구조에 대한 보호와 위협에 대한 종합적인 대응 " 이라는 차원에서 접근하고 있다. 미국은 지난 및 비상대비 통신 전담기구인 NCS(National Communication System)와 대통령자문위원회인 NSTAC(National Security Telecommunication Advisory)등 종전부터 있던 통신 재난 및 비상 통신 관련 기구에서 진행해오던 통신 재난 및 비상 통신 관련 기구에서 진행해오던 통신 재난 및 비상 통신 관련 업무를 9-11 사태를 경험하면서 신설된 Department of Homeland Security에서 총괄하도록 하고 있다. 캐나다의 경우는 MSAT(Mobile Satellite Services) Emergency Telecommunication Network을 통한 긴급통신 시스템을 구축하였다. 일본의 경우 우정성(현재는 총무성에 통합) 산하 비상통신협의회를 구성하여 비상통신에 관련한 협의와 점검을 추진하며 방재용 무선 시스템을 구축 운용하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이와 같은 비상통신과 관련하여 수행하고 있는 국외 비상통신 관련표준화 현황 및 해외 주요국가 별 구축 동향에 대해서 기술한다.

Despite the exponential throughput improvement in mobile communications systems, their ability to satisfy requirements of state-of-the-art and future applications of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is still under investigation. Challenges are mainly due to the inadequacy of third generation partnership project (3GPP) networks to support large amounts of devices simultaneously, while the number of AMI end-devices and the frequency of their data transmission increase with new AMI-based applications. In this introductory survey, innovative and future AMI applications and their communication requirements are first reviewed. Then, we identify challenges of 3GPP long term evolution (LTE) in enabling future AMI applications. More importantly, the latest improvements to LTE-A standard release 12 and 13 are reviewed and analyzed with regards to their potential to improve the quality of LTE-enabled AMI. It is found that 3GPP enhancements on machine type communications (MTC) standards will significantly enhance AMI communications. Beyond MTC specifications, non-MTC-specific enhancements such as carrier aggregation and multi-connectivity for user equipment will also contribute greatly to improving reliability and availability of AMI devices. The paper's focus is towards improved backhaul support for innovative and future AMI applications, beyond traditional automatic meter reading.

In this paper, we present the implementation result of an UWB terminal for mobile tactical networks. Considering the major characteristics of the terminals of tactical networks, i) targeting voice service, ii) pedestrian users, and iii) demanding high network fidelity, we designed all protocol layers from physical layer to applications layer. The designed terminal is implemented in forms of software and hardware with RF ASIC, FPGA, DSP, and GPP. The functionality of the implemented terminal is validated by successfully performing 1 to 1 and multi-hop voice communication test.

In this paper, a dual polarized broadband antenna fed by L-shaped strip for the Korea PCS band and W-CDMA band is presented. To analyze the characteristics of the designed antenna, we used commercial simulation tool(HFSS). The designed antenna was fabricated and measured using HP8753D vector network analyzer. The measured impedance bandwidth(VSWR<1.5) is 560 MHz and the measured average gain is 6.56 dBi. The measured isolation characteristic between two ports is -14 dB(min.) $\sim$ -40 dB(max.). These results are proper for the mobile communication application and repeater antenna.

Most of campus vehicle management systems, so far, simply manages coming in or go out of vehicles, issuing a parking tickets. Recently some of them use RFID tags to count total numbers of cars in the campus, excluding exact parking position management. In this paper we propose a new campus vehicle management system using wireless sensor network location management scheme. This system adopts RSSI based location management method with some performance improvement technique. According to the experimental result, this proposed scheme can be used to implement an effective campus vehicle management system.
