협동적 게임 이론(cooperative game theory)은 다중 사용자들이 어떻게 하면 한정된 자원을 효율적이고 공평하게 공유할 수 있는지에 촛점을 맞추며 이론적인 바탕을 제공한다. 본고에서는 다수의 멀티미디어 사용자들이 협동적 게임 이론중 협상 해법(bargaining solutions)을 이용하여 어떻게 통신 및 네트워크 자원을 효율적이고 공평하게 공유할 수 있는지 알아본다. 또한, 이러한 협상 해법들을 바탕으로 한 자원 공유가 멀티미디어 사용자에게 어떠한 의미를 갖는지 알아보도록 한다. 마지막으로, 이러한 게임 이론을 이용한 자원 관리가 다양한 형태의 통신 및 네트워크에 어떻게 사용될 수 있으며, 미래의 활용 가능성을 알아보도록 한다.

이 연구에서는 네트워크 기반의 다중기준국을 이용하여 육상교통환경에서 항법위성의 궤도력에 따른 위치결정 성능향상의 정도를 분석하였다. 위성항법보정시스템(Differential Global Positioning System)을 활용하였을 경우 항법위성의 궤도력 오차정보가 소거되지 않는다는 가정 하에 방송궤도력이 아닌 International GNSS Service(IGS) 정밀궤도력중 신속궤도력(Ultra-Rapid)을 이용하여 궤도력 오차에 따라 위치결정 정확도가 향상됨을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 사용하는 위성항법보정시스템을 활용한 위치결정 방법은 기준국과 사용자의 거리에 따라서 그 성능이 달라진다. 이는 궤도 오차, 대류층 및 전리층 오차 등이 거리에 의존적이기 때문이다. 다중기준국을 활용하는 방법은 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 소거되지 않는 오차등을 극복하기 위한 기술이며 사용자 주변을 둘러싼 기준국들의 측정값을 조합하여 보상을 하거나 정확하게 모델링하여 사용자에게 오차정보를 보정정보로 전송하여 위치결정의 성능을 향상시키는 방법이다. 분석된 결과는 네트워크 기반의 다중기준국 환경에서 사용자와 기준국간의 거리에 따른 공간이격 오차정보 보정정보 생성 연구에 활용하며 이를 통해 육상교통 사용자의 위치결정 정확도 성능을 향상하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose an interference cancellation(IC) scheme using a partial Rake(PRAKE) combining in ultra-wideband(UWB) multipath fading channels. In this IC scheme, differently from the conventional transmitter model, which employs a guard interval between each frame, the guard interval is employed between each slot for estimating the multiple access interference(MAI). The UWB systems using the proposed IC scheme have little performance degradation without regard to the number of user, while the conventional UWB systems have a significant performance degradation according to the number of user. In order to reduce the receiver complexity, the PRAKE combining of post-canceled signal and the partial user IC scheme are also proposed.

In this paper, we present the analytic model to quantify the system capacity with delay Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, and analyze the effect of user-multiplexing on the delay QoS performance in multiuser low-power wireless communication systems. For this purpose, we define the degree of multiplexing as the number of scheduled users to be served in a frame, and investigate the effect of degree of multiplexing (DoM) on the trade-off of throughput and delay QoS constraints. Through this analysis, we characterize the optimal DoM maximizing the energy efficiency in low-power communication environments. Finally, through the simulation results, we verify that our approach with its optimal DoM yields substantial capacity gain.

Cognitive radio network technology is that secondary (unlicensed) users use the spectrum of primary (licensed) users without interfering primary communication. In this paper, we propose multiple access scheme for a cognitive radio network, where multiple secondary users access spectrum of one primary user. We consider two types of multiple access scheme, one is p-persistent and one is non-persistent, and apply these two schemes in the secondary network. For each multiple access scheme, total throughput of secondary network is derived and verified by Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results show that maximum total throughput of the secondary network is achieved when channel access probability or the number of maximum waiting frames is chosen appropriately.

In a network environment, when a user requests a server's service, a remote user authentication system using smart cards is a very practical solution to validate the eligibility of a user and provide secure communication. In these authentication schemes, due to fast progress of networks and information technology, most of provided services are in multi-server environments. However, there are no studies in multi-server authentication schemes using smart cards providing mutual anonymity so far. In this paper, we propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards providing mutual authentication and mutual anonymity for multi-server environments. Our proposed scheme achieves the low-computation requirement for smart cards and a user can use permitted various services in eligible servers by only one registration. Also, this scheme guarantees perfect mutual anonymity of participants.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging poses a set of time delay estimation problems for designers. The possibility of a large error can be a challenging problem for accurate ranging and positioning. An approximate analysis of large error performance of UWB ranging in multipath and multiuser environments is posed. Both analytical and experimental approaches are taken to evaluate the large error variance in a correlation-based serial search scenario.

This paper concentrates on developing and analyzing an advanced space-time multiuser receiver for WCDMA forward link. Through exploring the interference caused by co-channel users and delayed multipaths in CDMA, a constrained linear adaptive filter is adopted to cancel the interference. Furthermore, by utilizing the space-time diversity, an optimum diversity receiver, called a constrained adaptive space-time interference canceller (C-ASTIC), is proposed. For comparison, the statistical analysis of multiuser performance for WCDMA system with space-time diversity is described. The result of the simulation showed that C-ASTIC performs better than both the space-time diversity combining maximal ratio combiner (MRC) and the single-antenna adaptive interference canceller in a multipath fading channel. Also, the efficiency of the C-ASTIC in the multimedia communication environment is investigated under the multiuser, multi-transmit antenna, and multirate WCDMA system in a multipath fading channel. From the results, the C-ASTIC was validated to be useful for multi-rate WCDMA system through improving the performance gain by more than 3 dB at BER of 10$\^$-3/ in a half or more loaded system.

In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based scheduling scheme for user selection in multi-user multi-antenna networks which is considered one of key technologies for the next generation mobile communication systems. We obtained 90,000 data samples from the conventional optimal scheme to train the proposed neural network and verified the trained neural network to check if the trained neural network is over-fitted. Although the proposed neural network-based scheduling algorithm requires considerable complexity and time for training in the initial stage, it does not cause any extra complexity once it has been trained successfully. On the other hand, the conventional optimal scheme continuously requires the same complexity of computations for every scheduling. According to extensive computer-simulations, the proposed deep learning-based scheduling algorithm yields about 88~96% average sum-rates of the conventional scheme for SNRs lower than 10dB, while it can achieve optimal average sum-rates for SNRs higher than 10dB.

The conventional code division multiple access(CDMA) detector shows severe degradation in communication quality as the number of users increases due to multiple access interferences(MAI). This problem thus restricts the user capacity. Various multiuser detection algorithms have been proposed to overcome the MAI problem. The existing detectors can be generally classified into one of the two categories : linear multiuser detection and subtractive interference cancellation detectors. In the linear multiuser detection, a linear transform is applied to the soft outputs of the conventional detector. In the subtractive interference cancellation detection, estimates of the interference are generated and subtracted out from the received signal. There has been great interest in the family of the subtractive interference cancellation detection because the linear multiuser detection exhibits the disadvantage of taking matrix inversion operations. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) and the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) are the two most popular structures in the subtractive interference cancellation detector. The SIC structure is very simple in hardware complexity, but has the disadvantage of increased processing delay time, while the PIC structure is good in performance, but shows the disadvantage of increased hardware complexity. In this paper we propose a mixed structure form of SIC and PIC in order to achieve good performance as well as simple hardware complexity. A performance analysis of the proposed scheme has been made, and the superior characteristics of the mixed structure are demonstrated by extensive computer simulations.
