The paper deals with the experimental GNSS receiver built at the Czech Technical University for experiments with the real GNSS signal. The receiver is based on software defined radio architecture. Receiver consists of the RF front end and a digital processor based on programmable logic. Receiver RF front end supports GPS L1, L2, L5, WAAS/EGNOS, GALILEO L1, E5A, E5B signals as well as GLONASS L1 and L2 signals. The digital processor is based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) which supports embedded processor. The receiver is used for various experiments with the GNSS signals like GPS L1/EGNOS receiver, GLONASS receiver and investigation of the EGNOS signal availability for a land mobile user. On the base of experimental GNSS receiver the GPS L1, L2, EGNOS receiver for railway application was designed. The experimental receiver is also used in GNSS monitoring station, which is independent monitoring facility providing also raw monitoring data of the GPS, EGNOS and Galileo systems via internet.

We analyze the capacity of CDMA base stations in the subway environment. We investigate the characteristics of multipath fading, cell structures, and propagation environment in the subway, analyze signal to noise ratio, sectorization gain, path-loss exponent, frequency reuse factor, and obtain the link capacity of a base station in the subway. We measure the peakedness factor and reveal that base stations in the subway have peaked traffic. We use Neal-Wilkinson model to obtain the Erlang capacity instead of Erlang-B model based on Poisson traffic.

A home healthcare system based wireless sensor network, which can continuously monitor and manage the elderly's electrocardiogram(ECG) signal at any space at home without space limit is proposed. The communication coverage of wireless network is expended by multi-hop wireless sensor network. In order to send the elderly's ECG data wirelessly, a small size ECG sensor node was designed to forward the ECG data over multi-hop relay network. The packet acquired by mobile ECG node is transmitted through wireless intermediate nodes to base station for analyzing the packet reception rate. Modified minimum cost forwarding(MMCF) protocol and flooding protocol are designed and implemented to check the transmission efficiency of a packet in a wireless sensor network. The developed MMCF protocol shows an advantage of high reception rate by reduced network traffic.

In code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems with soft handoff, mobile station (MS) within soft handoff region can use multiple radio channels and receive their signals from multiple base stations (BSs) simultaneously. In this paper, the effects of soft handoff region ratio (SHRR) on reverse link of a CDMA cellular system are analytically investigated. In order to analyze the network performance and quality of service (QoS) perceived by users more realistically, both the soft capacity increasing factor and the traffic load variation affected by SHRR are jointly considered and a two-dimensional continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) model is built. In the numerical example, it is observed that the optimal guard channel exists according the variations of the traffic load and propagation conditions when the proper value of SHRR is determined.

Software architecture and protocols to be maintained between components for the reconfigurable SDR system is analyzed and suggest system design idea for the implementation of software. To do this, related surveys are reviews and set up the system model with the structure of embedded system. SDR system architecture is suggested with five layered structure, consisted with hardware, operating system, middle-ware, service objects and application layer. SDR system is designed to be work on the basis of Linux operating system, and aimed to be scalable and reconfigurable. It is introduced the design result of software protocol and state transition diagram for the implementations of software download function which is the most important feature in SDR.

With the explosive deployment of the wireless communications technology, the increased QoS requirement has sparked keen interest in network planning and optimization. As the major players in wireless network optimization, the BS's resource utilization and mobile user's QoS can be improved a lot by the load-balancing technology. In this paper, we propose a load-balancing strategy that uses Coordinated Multiple Points (CoMP) technology among the Base Stations (BS) to effectively extend network coverage and increase edge users signal quality. To use universally, different patterns of load-balancing based on CoMP are modeled and discussed. We define two QoS metrics to be guaranteed during CoMP load balancing: call blocking rate and efficient throughput. The closed-form expressions for these two QoS metrics are derived. The load-balancing capacity and QoS performances with different CoMP patterns are evaluated and analyzed in low-dense and high-dense traffic system. The numerical results present the reasonable CoMP load balancing pattern choice with guaranteed QoS in each system.

The energy efficiency is a key design issue to improve the lifetime of the underwater sensor networks (UWSN) consisting of sensor nodes equipped with a small battery of limited energy resource. In this paper, we apply a hexagon tessellation with an ideal cell size to deploy the underwater sensor nodes for two-dimensional UWSN. Upon this setting, we propose an enhanced hybrid transmission method that forwards data packets in a mixed transmission way based on location dependent direct transmitting or uniform multi-hop forwarding. In order to select direct transmitting or uniform multi-hop forwarding, the proposed method applies the threshold annulus that is defined as the distance between the cluster head node and the base station (BS). Our simulation results show that the proposed method enhances the energy efficiency compared with the existing multi-hop forwarding methods and hybrid transmission methods

When floating platform or drilling unit is located at operating station during its design life, it has to have the sufficient stability considering external environment. To evaluate whether offshore structure is complied with the required design criteria for intact stability, the factors which decrease the righting moment have to be considered. Wind heeling moment is one of main factors because the direction is opposite to the righting moment. According to 2009 MODU CODE (Code for the construction and equipment of Mobile Offshore Drilling Units, 2009), wind heeling moment derived from wind tunnel test on scale model of offshore structure enables to apply as alternative given formula and method in 2009 MODU CODE. However, there is no the specific method for applying data derived from wind tunnel test. Based on the following reasons, this paper presents that the calculation method of wind heeling moment utilizing non-dimensional coefficient relative to wind loads (wind forces and moments) and the comparison with each method applying an example.

In this paper, we implemented a deep learning-based automatic object tracking and handy motion control drone system and analyzed the performance of the proposed system. The drone system automatically detects and tracks targets by analyzing images obtained from the drone's camera using deep learning algorithms, consisting of the YOLO, the MobileNet, and the deepSORT. Such deep learning-based detection and tracking algorithms have both higher target detection accuracy and processing speed than the conventional color-based algorithm, the CAMShift. In addition, in order to facilitate the drone control by hand from the ground control station, we classified handy motions and generated flight control commands through motion recognition using the YOLO algorithm. It was confirmed that such a deep learning-based target tracking and drone handy motion control system stably track the target and can easily control the drone.
