The PB/MC-CDMA(Partial Block Multi Carrier Code Division Multilple Access) system can improve the performance by reducing the ICI(Inter-Code Interference) between users. Also, this system can achieve the frequency diversity gain by avoiding ISI(Inter Symbol Interference). Therefore, the performance of PB/MC-CDMA system is better than that of conventional MC-CDMA(Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple Access) system. However, similarly to other multi-carrier systems, it still has a PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) issue. In this paper, we propose a peak power reduction technique involving optimized spreading code selection without side information for the PB/MC-CDMA. The PB/MC-CDMA system in each block of units reuses the code so the extra code will be remained. This extra code is divided into several groups to calculate the PAPR and solving the PAPR problem by transferring the selected code which has minimum peak power.

In OFDMA system, multiple users transmit signal through the subcarriers assigned to the user. Capabilities of high data-rate transmission in OFDMA system come from the ability to compensate the ICI (Inter Carrier Interference) using a single-tap equalizer and to implement transmitter and receiver by employing high speed FFT circuitry. Issues of time and frequency synchronization in OFDM system is quite essential to preserve the orthogonality among subcarriers not to produce ICI. In this paper, we Int analyze the preamble used in 802.16 d/e and WiBro system. Then we propose an effective timing synchronization algorithm, which is more accurate than the conventional one in the sense of timing position, and integral frequency offset estimation scheme for the simultaneouse estimation of the fractional and integral frequency offset. Through the simulation utilizing the proposed synchronization algorithm and structure, we show that the performance degradation due to the adjacent channel interference can be mitigated for the than conventional ones.

This paper discusses standardization activities, requirements and enabling technologies for 100G Ethernet and 100G OTN. The need of 100Gbps transport capacity has been gaining greater interest from service providers and carrier vendors. Moreover, optical transport networks based on OTN/DWDM are changing their properties to apply Ethernet traffic which is dramatically increasing. We realize and experimentally demonstrate OTU4 framer with commercial FPGA. The key features of the realized OTU4 framer are parallel signal processing function, multi-lane distribution function, GMP function and FEC function. The realized OTU4 framer has the large signal processing capacity of 120Gbps, which allows to transport about 120Gbps client signals such as $12{\times}10G$ Ethernet and $3{\times}40G$ Ethernet. The realized OTU4 framer has the advantages to quickly adjust to changing markets and new technologies by using commercial FPGA instead of ASIC.

The digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system adopts Coded OFDM(COFDM) for channel coding. The COFDM is a combined technique of multicarrier transmission(OFDM) and punctured convolutional coding with viterbi error correction. Because the channel coding is an important topic for OFDM systems, this paper proposes a new turbo coded OFDM system that replaces the existing RCPC codec by a turbo codec without modifying the puncturing procedure and puncturing vectors defined in the standard DAB system for compatibility. The performance of a new system is compared to that of the conventional system under the frequency selective Rician fading channel and the frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel in conjunction with DAB transmission mode I suitable for the terrestrial single frequency network(SFN) broadcasting. The standard system's performance was improved with the aid of turbo codec.

In this paper, the small loop antenna with a parasitic loop structure for penta-band mobile phone application is proposed. This antenna is composed of a feed monopole, a radiating loop antenna with a parasitic loop structure and an additional radiating element. The antenna is printed on the very thin flexible substrate to mount on the dielectric carrier with a volume of 40 mm$\times$11 mm$\times$3 mm. The bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 402 MHz(773~1,175 MHz) for low band and 583 MHz(1,622~2,205 MHz) for high band. As a result, the proposed antenna covers the five bands of GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1,900 and WCDMA for a 3:1 VSWR. Moreover, the radiation pattern, gain and efficiency are appropriate for mobile handset. Therefore, this antenna is suitable for small sized multi-band mobile handset applications.

Carrier Ethernet backbone network integrates distributed layer-2 based metro networks. In this networks, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) has been uscd as a main routing protocol that allows multiple spanning trees in a network. A better routing protocol called IEEE802.1aq - Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) is recently proposed, that generates the shortest spanning tree per a destination node. As SPB provides a routing path per a destination node, there is no way to adapt network traffic at normal condition. If we are free from the principle of "a spanning tree per a destination node", we can achieve adaptive routing. Based on this philosophy, we propose a new spanning tree based protocol - Edge Node Divided Spanning Tree (ENDIST). ENDIST divides an edge node into sub-nodes as many as connecting links from the node and each sub-node generates a single shortest path tree based on SPB. Depending on network or nodal status, ENDIST chooses a better routing path by flow-basis. This added traffic engineering ability contributes to enhanced throughput and reduced delay in backbone networks. The simulation informs us that ENDIST's throughput under heavy load performs about 3.4-5.8 and 1.5-2.0 times compared with STP's and SPB's one respectively. Also, we verified that ENDIST's throughput corresponds to the theoretical upper bound at half of cases we investigated. This means that the proposed ENDIST is a dramatically enhanced and the close-to-perfect spanning tree based routing schemes.

In this paper, a node architecture of WDM metro network for connecting broadband access networks to converge wire/wireless networks. In consideration of the proposed node architecture and network requirements we proposed and evaluated medium access control protocols. We review WDM related technologies of sub-carrier multiplexing and optical components in order to resolve the bottleneck between optical backbone networks md access networks, and a access node architecture sharing common wavelength is introduced. Source-stripping (SS) MAC protocol Is evaluated under the proposed functional node architecture. DS+IS (Destination-Stripping and Source-Stripping) and DS+IS (Destination-Stripping and Intermediate-Stripping) MAC protocols are described to increase the slot-reuse factor which is low on SS MAC protocol. The key function of new MAC protocols regards the optical switch module of proposed node architecture and helps intermediate or source access nodes for dropping slots to destinations of different wavelength group. Thus, slot-reuse factor increases as the MAC protocols reduce the unnecessary ring-rotation of transferred slots. We use a numerical analysis to expect bandwidth efficiency and maximum throughput by slot-reuse factor Throughput network simulation, the verification of throughput, queuing delay, and transmission fairness are compared among MAC protocols.

최근 질화물계 발광다이오드(light emitting diode, LED) 소자는 핸드폰, 스마트 TV 등의 디스플레이 분야와 실내외조명, 감성조명, 특수조명 등의 조명분야에 그 응용분야가 급속히 확대되고 있다. 이러한 LED 소자는 에너지 절감과 친환경에 장점을 가지고, 가까운 미래에 조명시장을 대체할 것으로 예상된다. 이를 만족하기 위해서는 현재보다 더 높은 효율을 갖는 LED 개발이 요구되어지고 있는 상황이다. 일반적으로 질화물계 LED 소자의 효율은 내부양자 효율, 광추출 효율 등으로 나타낼 수 있다. 내부 양자효율은 성장된 결정의 질의 개선 및 다층의 이종접합 또는 다중양자우물 구조와 같이 활성층의 캐리어 농도를 높이는 접합구조로 설계되어 80% 이상의 효율을 나타낸다. 그러나 광추출 효율은 이에 미치지 못하고 있다. 이는 반도체 재료의 높은 굴절률로 인하여 빛이 외부로 탈출하지 못하고 내부로 반사되거나 물질 안에서 흡수가 일어나기 때문이다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구 그룹들은, 표면에 패턴 형성하여 빛의 전반사를 줄여 그 효율을 올리는 연구결과를 보고하고 있다. 대표적인 방법으로는 wet etching, 전자빔 리소그라피, 나노임프린트 리소그라피, 레이저 홀로 리그라피, 나노스피어 리소그라피 등이 사용되고 있다. 이 중, 나노스피어 리소그라피는 폴리스틸렌 혹은 실리카 등과 같은 나노 크기의 bead를 사용하여 반도체 기판 표면에 단일층으로 고르게 코팅한 마스크로 사용하여 패턴을 주는 방법이다. 이 방법의 장점으로는 대면적에 균일한 패턴을 형성할 수 있고, 공정비용이 저렴하여 양산하기에 적합하다는 특징이 있다. 나노스피어 리소그라피를 통해서 표면에 생성된 패턴 모양의 각도에 따라서, 식각되는 깊이에 변화에 따라 실험한 결과들은 있지만, 아직까지 크기가 다른 나노입자들의 마스크 이용하여 형성된 패턴 밀도에 따른 광 추출 효과에 대한 연구가 많이 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 크기의 실리카로 패턴을 형성시켜 패턴 밀도에 대한 광추출 효율의 효과에 대해서 조사하였다. 실험 방법으론, DI, 에탄올, TEOS, 암모니아의 순서대로 그 혼합 비율을 조정하여 100, 250, 500 nm 크기의 나노입자를 합성하였고 이것을 질화물계 LED의 표면 위에 단일층으로 스핀코팅 방법을 통해 코팅을 하였다. 그 후 ICP-RIE 방법으로 필라 패턴을 형성하였는데, 그 결과 100 nm SiO2 입자를 이용한 경우 $4.5{\times}10^9$/$cm^2$, 250 nm의 경우 $1.4{\times}10^9$/$cm^2$, 500 nm의 경우 $0.4{\times}10^9$/$cm^2$의 패턴의 밀도를 보여주었다(Fig. 1). 패턴의 밀도에 따라 전계광학적 특성을 확인하여 보았는데, 그 결과는 평평한 표면과 비교하였을 때 100 nm에서 383%, 250 nm에서는 320%, 500 nm에서는 244% 상승하는 결과를 보여주었다(Fig. 2). 이번 실험을 통해서 LED의 광추출 효율은 표면 모양과 깊이 뿐 아니라 밀도가 커질수록 그 효율이 올라간다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

With the economical data service delivery, the packet transport network (PTN) technologies have emerged as an important player in the next-generation transport networks. As the PTN continues to make such considerable progress, it is being challenged by network providers who need rapid and reliable recovery capabilities to guarantee the availability of their services. This paper introduces several fault detection mechanisms for a client signal failure in packet transport networks and proposes a reliable transmission method of IP flows from routers using the combination of Ethernet services. Based on the first fault detection methods, client signal fault is detected within tens or hundreds of milliseconds. It enables the client network devices to perform their own recovery processes within one second. The second mechanism enables failed Ethernet services to be bypassed via other Ethernet services over disjoint paths, so as to contribute on reducing packet loss of IP traffic.

The core technologies of the current transport network are OAM and protection switching to meet the sub-50ms protection switching time via a path redundancy when a link or node failure occurs. The transport networks owned by public network operators, central/local governments, and major enterprises are individually configured and managed with service resiliency in each own protected sub-network. When such networks are cascaded, it is also important to provide a node resiliency between two protected sub-networks. However, the linear protection switching in packet transport networks, such as MPLS-TP and Carrier Ethernet, does not define a solution of dual node interconnection. Although Ethernet ring protection switching covers the dual node interconnection scheme, a large amount of duplicated data frames may be flooded when a failure occurs on an adjacent (sub) ring. In this paper, we suggest a dual node interconnection scheme with linear protection switching technology in multiple protected sub-networks. And we investigate how various protected sub-network combinations with a proposed linear or ring protection process impact the service resiliency of multiple protected sub-networks through extensive experiments on link and interconnected node failures.
