Due to the extremely short pulse in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, the accurate synchronization acquisition method is very important for both high data-rate WPAN and low data-rate WPAN. In this paper, we propose the synchronization acquisition algorithm based on two-step signal search method to acquire the synchronization in the UWB multi-path channel. At the first step, the search window is divided by two and the window that has higher power is chosen as a next search window. This operation is repeated until the measure power of the search window is smaller than the threshold value. At the second step, we employ Linear Search algorithm to the search window obtained at the first step for fine search. The proposed algorithm is proved that the synchronization acquisition is faster than the parallel search algorithm and it shows good performance in environment of the SNR extreme changes by the simulation.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced two-step search scheme for rapid and reliable signal acquisition in UWB systems under multipath channels. The proposed TSS-LS (Two-Step Search scheme with the Linear search based Second step) achieves rapid acquisition performance comparable to the conventional TSS-BS (Two-Step Search scheme with the Bit reversal search based Second step) already proposed by the authors, based on the single-dwell search with two-step thresholds and search windows. However, unlike the TSS-BS which employs the bit reversal search in the second step, the proposed TSS-LS utilizes the linear search in the second step to improve the reliability of signal acquisition. Simulation results with multipath channel models by IEEE 802.15.3a show that the two-step search schemes for the UWB signal acquisition can achieve sig nificant reduction of the required mean acquisition time as compared to general search schemes. In addition, we observe that the proposed TSS-LS achieves quite good bit error rate performance for large signal-to-noise ratios, which is favorably comparable to the case of ideal perfect timing.

The purpose of this study is to explore how use motivation of SNS influences communication activity and SNS media engagement. The major findings are as follows. First, three Factors are identified from the result of scale purification through exploratory factor analysis(EFA) on use motivation of SNS. Three factors of SNS use motivation are information/knowledge acquisition motivation (IKAM), communication/relationship maintaining motivation(CRMM), opinion/information presenting motivation(OIPM). It is found that a significant difference on CRMM between sex. Second, CRMM and OIPM are statistically significant to communication activity. Third, IKAM and CRMM are statistically significant to SNS media engagement.

In this paper, the performance about the CDMA inital synchronization under the Rician fading channel, which is actively studied as a CAI for IMT2000(FPLMTS) is analyzed. Through the performance analysis with the double dwell serial search code acquisition, the minimum mean initial synchronization acquisition time vs signal detection threshold value and first dwell duration time respectively with parameters of false alarm probability, detection probability and test PN chips is presented and the results show the mean initial synchronization acquisition time is increased with lower slope than Rayleigh fading as the threshold value of the initial synchronization acquisition decision is increased.

In communication systems, initial acquisition is required for the reliable transmission performance, and the analysis of the acquisition performance over various communication environments including different signal-to-noise ratios plays an important role in communication system design. Usage of differential correlation methods in initial synchronization procedure is desired when frequency offsets exist, and additional performance improvement can be achieved through proper modifications of conventional correlation schemes. In this paper, we derive the error probability of the initial acquisition and express it in terms of the Marcum Q-function, via statistical modeling of the differential correlator output. The result is generalized to the error probabilities of the extended differential correlation methods using the complex- and magnitude-sum of the correlator outputs. The derived probabilities can be applied for the acquisition performance verification of various communication systems including the DVB-S2 standard.

본 논문은 OFDM의 Cyclic Prefix를 사용하여 적은 계산랑을 통해 보다 빠른 초기 시간동기획득을 구현하였다. QPSK 매핑 신호를 입력으로 하고 수신단에서 계산의 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 실수 부와 허수 부를 양자화를 하고 양자화된 신호를 이용하였다. 또한 양자화된 신호의 개수를 줄이는 방법으로 샘플링을 통해 기존의 상관성 알고리즘에 적용할 데이터 량을 줄였다. 즉, 계산량과 복잡도를 줄여 초기 시간 동기 획득률을 유지하면서 복잡도를 줄였다.

In this paper, we compare the performance of initial timing acquisition in direct sequence ultra-wideband(DS-UWB) systems with different transmit pulse shaping filters through extensive computer simulations. Simulation results show that the timing acquisition performance of the DS-UWB system, whose chip rate is 1.32 Gchip/s, employing a rectangular transmit filter is similar to that employing a square root raised cosine(SRRC) filter with an interpolation factor of 4 in the realistic UWB channels(CM1 and CM3) as well as the additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel. Additionally, we present both a 24-parallel digital correlator structure and a 24-parallel processing searcher operating at a 55 MHz system clock, and then briefly discuss the initial timing acquisition procedure. Because we can adopt an 1.32 Gsample/s digital-to-analog(D/A) converter and an 1.32 Gsample/s analog-to-digital(AID) converter in the DS-UWB system by employing the rectangular transmit filter, we have a realistic solution for the DS-UWB chipset development.
