기존 MIMO 시스템 대비 수십 또는 수백 배 많은 송신 안테나들이 설치되어 있는 주파수 분할(frequency division duplex, FDD) 방식의 거대 다중 안테나(massive multiple-input mulitple-output, Massive MIMO)에선 송신 안테나 별 CSI-RS(channel state information reference signal) 전송을 위해 기존 MIMO 시스템 대비 너무 많은 하향 및 상향링크 자원 요소가 필요하다는 한계를 갖는다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위해 본 논문에선 주파수 분할 방식의 거대 다중 안테나 시스템에서 많은 송신 안테나를 사용하더라도 자원요소(resource element, RE)를 재사용함으로써 송신 안테나 수에 비례하지 않는 제한된 양의 하향링크 자원만을 사용하여 CSI-RS를 효과적으로 전송하는 기술 및 자원격자 구조를 제안하였다.

Location-based services are used as core services in various fields. In particular, in the field of public services such as emergency rescue, accurate location estimation technology is very important. Recently, the technology of tracking the location of self-isolation subjects for COVID-19 has become a major issue. Therefore, location estimation technology using personal smart devices is being studied in various ways, and the most widely used method is to use GPS. Other representative methods are using Wi-Fi, Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, and LTE signals. In this paper, we introduced a positioning technology using deep learning based on LTE Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) data, and confirmed the possibility through an outdoor location estimation experiment using a commercial LTE signal.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of single-dose corticosteroid injection (CSI) administered at 6 weeks postoperative to treat stiffness following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methods: In this prospective, multicentric, case-control study, post-ARCR stiffness at 6 weeks was treated with either a single dose of intra-articular CSI (CSI group) or physical therapy with oral analgesics (non-CSI group). Pain intensity according to visual analog scale (VAS), functional outcome using the Constant Murley Shoulder Score, time to return to activities of daily living (ADLs), and retear rate were recorded at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months postoperatively in both groups. Results: A total of 149 patients (54.5%) in the CSI group and 124 patients (45.5%) in the non-CSI group were included in this study. Pain and function were significantly better in the CSI group at 9-week, 12-week, and 6-month (P<0.001) follow-up, whereas they were not significantly different when the groups were compared at 12- and 18-month follow-up. The mean duration to return to ADLs was significantly shorter (P<0.001) in the CSI group. The incidence of retears was not significantly different (P=0.36) between groups at the end of 18 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Single-dose intra-articular CSI administered at 6 weeks postoperative to treat post-ARCR stiffness significantly improved pain, function, and duration of return to ADLs without increasing the risk of retears compared to patients who did not receive intra-articular CSI. Level of evidence: III.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is an increasingly debilitating condition in working population. Evidence for conservative treatment modalities has been inconclusive. Percutaneous pie crusting of the common extensor origin at the lateral epicondyle at the time of local corticosteroid injection (CSI) has been proposed sparsely. The objective of this study was to analyze if concomitant CSI and pie-crusting of the common extensor origin provides better outcome than CSI alone in lateral epicondylitis. Methods: This case-control study on 236 patients was conducted at a single center between January 1, 2020, and May 31, 2022. Patients were divided into two groups (n=118 each) based on their preference. Group A underwent CSI alone and group B underwent pie crusting along with CSI. The clinical and functional outcomes of all patients were evaluated at 2, 4, 6, and 12-week post-procedure using the visual analog scale (VAS) and Nirschl score. The mean time for return to daily activities was also compared. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement in post-procedure outcome at successive follow-ups on intragroup longitudinal analysis (VAS: F=558.384 vs. F=1,529.618, Nirschl: F=791.468 vs. F=1,284.951). On intergroup analysis, VAS of group B was superior to that of group A; however, it was statistically significant (P<0.05) only from the 6-week follow-up onwards. Nirschl score of group B was significantly better throughout the period of follow-up (P<0.05). Group B returned to daily activities faster than Group A (6.2±0.44 weeks vs. 7.18±0.76 weeks). Conclusions: Concomitant pie crusting with CSI is recommended for lateral epicondylitis as it provides significantly better results than CSI alone.

5G 이동무선통신에서 요구되는 증가된 데이터 속도를 제공하기 위한 핵심적인 기술 축은 대규모 어레이를 활용하는 MIMO 전송을 통한 주파수 효율의 향상이다. MIMO 전송을 위해서는 CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signaling)를 이용하는 채널 추정 및 추정 결과에 적합한 빔포밍이 필요하며, 따라서 빔포밍 벡터를 정의하는 코드북의 설계는 매우 중요한 이슈이다. 본 논문에서는 공간채널모델을 이용하여 생성된 채널의 통계적인 특성을 활용하여 DFT (discrete Fourier transform) 행렬 기반 다중 랭크 코드북의 설계 방안을 제안하였다. 제안 방식은 인접한 안테나 원소 간 위상차의 분포와 전송 레이어 별 선택되는 코드벡터의 특징을 고려하여 PMI (precoding matrix indicator)의 구조 변경을 하였으며, LTE (long-term evolution) 시스템에서 사용 중인 3GPP 표준 코드북과의 성능 비교를 통하여 제안 방식의 이득을 산출하고 검증하였다.

Iterative detection은 additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel의 경우 interleaver들을 포함한 조합유한상태머신(concatenated Finite State Machine)들에 대해 근사적으로 optimal solution에 가깝다는 것이 입증되었습니다. 수신단에서 정확한 채널 상태 정보(perfect channel state information)가 얻어질 수 없는 경우 adaptive Iterative detection이 시간적으로 변하거나 또는 부정확한 채널 변수를 다루기위해 필요합니다. Iterative detection과 adaptive iterative detection대한 기본 building block은 각각 Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO)와adaptive SISO (A-SISO)입니다. SISO와 A-SISO의 complexity은 state memory나 channel memory에 비례해서 지수적으로 증가합니다. 본 논문에서는 Reduced State SISO (RS-SISO) 알고리즘이 A-SISO의 complexity 감소를 위해 적용되어 fading ISI channel을 통한 serially concatenated CPM의 성능이 adaptive iterative detection을 이용하면 터보 코드 같은 성능을 나타내는 것과 또한 RS-A-SISO system이 큰 iterative detection gain을 가지는 것을 보였습니다. RS-A-SISO 알고리즘에 대한 다양한 design option들의 성능을 평가하였으며 성능과 complexity를 비교하였습니다. 또한 보통 AWGN 채널에서 사용되어지는 density evolution 분석기법이 주파수 선택적인 페이딩 채널에서 RS-A-SISO 시스템에서도 좋은 분석기법임을 보였습니다
