Cognitive radio (CR), which is proposed as a technology that utilizes the frequency resources effectively, has studied to relive scarcity of the frequency resources. CR provides opportunistically unused frequency to the secondary user when the primary user is not detected. Spectrum sensing is the most important technology to detect primary user. However, in the wireless channels, according to the effect of multipath fading channel, spectrum sensing performance is compromised. Therefore, in this paper, we apply diversity scheme that is a useful technique for combating multiple fading in wireless communications. There are several classes of diversity scheme, which are time diversity, antenna diversity, muitipath diversity, frequency diversity, and so on. In this paper, we adopt antenna diversity that is a kind of space diversity. By using the proposed method, we can overcome fading effect and improve spectrum sensing performance.

Multi-Carrier CDMA 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭은 시스템의 성능 저하를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 역방향 링크에서 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭의 영향을 연구하였다. 더욱이, 라이시안 페이딩 채널의 역방향 링크에서 최대비 합성 공간 다이버시티와 선택 합성 공간 다이버시티 기법을 적용한 성능 개선에 대하여 연구하였다. 수치계산 결과, 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 성능은 등가 잡음 대역폭의 분산($\sigma$$^2$$_{c}$)에 매우 민감하나 무선 채널에서의 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비에는 그리 심하지 않았다. 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화와 파일럿 심볼 간격의 최적화는 라이시안 페이딩 채널에서 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 계산을 통하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화는 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비와 채널 예측 필터의 등가 잡음 대역폭에 관계하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes an antenna selection and switching system between spatial multiplexing and diversity techniques. The proposed system overcomes spatial correlation by using antenna selection method and improve bit error performance with switching encoding nudes between a spatial multipexing encoder and a diversity encoder. Therefore, in a 4 transmit and 2 receive antenna system first, the proposed system selects 2 transmit antennas, and next, switches encoding modes between Space-Time Transmit Diversity and BLAST according to instantaneous channel information. Computer simulations showed that the proposed system improves about 2 or 3 ㏈ SNR in low correlated channel and about 3 ㏈ SNR in highly correlated channel rather than a 2 by 2 antenna switching system.

The deployment of high capacity backhaul is required due to explosive growth in mobile data services. For rapid backhaul deployment, point to point microwave is a much easier and cheaper technology. The space diversity scheme is used in point to point microwave links. The purpose of space diversity is to overcome fading by combining signals from two separate receiver antennas. For signal combining algorithm, maximum power and minimum distortion methods were used and these algorithms were reported not to be good enough for robustness in selective fading. In this paper, a more practically efficient signal combining scheme from the main and diversity branch is proposed and evaluated in selective fading channel. The proposed algorithm has shown significant performance improvement in terms of signal spectrum.

In multiple antenna systems, vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) systems enable very high throughput by nulling and cancelling at each layer detection. In this paper, we propose a V-BLAST system which combines with signal space diversity technique. The benefit of the signal space diversity is that we can obtain an additional gain without extra bandwidth and power expansion by applying inphase/quadrature interleaving and the constellation rotation. Through simulation results, it is shown that the performance of the proposed system is less than 0.5dB away from the ideal upper bound.

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of space diversity technologies using experimental data in order to analyze the usability of space diversity techniques in underwater channel environments. After analyzing the experimental data we found out that high diversity gain should not be expected when using a stationary transmitter with a stationary receivers in swallow underwater channel. And we also find out that the distance between sensors should be at least 8 wavelengths apart to take advantage of diversity gain in underwater moving channel environments.

In this paper, a mathematical formulation of protection ratio and its calculation method are suggested for a radio relay system with diversity techniques. The analysis of protection ratio and its physical meaning have been performed for the space or frequency diversity system, and in particular protection ratios are reviewed in terms of the parameters of diversity improvement factor, which comprises antenna gain, separation distance between antennas, frequency and its difference between carriers, and distance. As one of simulated results, the co-channel protection ratio of 60 dB is obtained for the space diversity system regarding 6.2 GHz, 60 km, 64-QAM, and 25 m between antennas, which gives 15 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of the non-space diversity system. In addition, the co-channel protection ratio for the frequency diversity system gives 64 dB in case of frequency offset of 0.5 GHz under the same conditions as the space diversity system, which brings about 11 dB less than the co-channel protection ratio of non-frequency diversity system. In consequency, it is interesting to note that the space diversity system is less sensitive to interference in comparison to the frequency diversity system and provides better quality of service for a given interference.

In this paper, we measured and analyzed cross polarization discrimination(XPD), signal correlation coefficient($\rho$) and received signal level decrease, for the application of polarization diversity scheme in the up-link of microcell environments. We experimented in a dense building area, a dense residence area, a market area, a school area and etc at 1.9 GHz. Cross polarization discrimination (XPD) is about 6~11 dB, signal correlation coefficient($\rho$) is below 0.7 and received signal level decrease is smaller than 3 dB. The results of comparing polarization diversity with space diversity show that polarization diversity gain is about 2~5 dB higher in the various area. As a results, polarization diversity scheme is more effective than space diversity scheme in microcell environments.

ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) reduces the performance of UAComm (Underwater Acoustic Communication). This paper shows that the performance of UAComm can be improved through the spatiotemporal diversity method that is the combination of spatial diversity and temporal diversity methods. By using spatiotemporal diversity, the array aperture was reduced to increase the efficiency of the UAComm system. It is also verified using the experimental data of BLAC18 (Biomimetic Long range Acoustic Communication 18) conducted in October 2018.
