The underlay protocol is a cognitive radio method in which secondary or cognitive users use the same frequency without affecting the quality of service (QoS) for the primary users. In addition, because of the broadcast characteristics of the wireless environment, some nodes, which are called eavesdropper nodes, want to illegally receive information that is intended for other communication links. Hence, Physical Layer Security is applied considering the achievable secrecy rate (ASR) to prevent this from happening. In this paper, a performance analysis of the amplify-and-forward scheme under an interference constraint and Physical Layer Security is investigated in the cooperative communication mode. In this model, the relays use an amplify-and- forward method to help transmit signals from a source to a destination. The best relay is chosen using an opportunistic relay selection method, which is based on the end-to-end ASR. The system performance is evaluated in terms of the outage probability of the ASR. The lower and upper bounds of this probability, based on the global statistical channel state information (CSI), are derived in closed form. Our simulation results show that the system performance improves when the distances from the relays to the eavesdropper are larger than the distances from the relays to the destination, and the cognitive network is far enough from the primary user.

Even if ICS(Interference Cancellation System) repeater is used in wireless communication system, it has the disadvantage that it must have enough distance between Donor and Service antenna to be isolated. In this paper, new ICS repeater integrated antenna with high insolation characteristics is designed. The proposed antenna is fabricated for 800MHz and measured. Bandwidth and gain are optimized by changing the stub lengths near main patch and power divider, and also by changing the size of parasitic patch. This antenna has a return loss less than -13 dB, a gain over 3 dBi, and an isolation between the donor and the server antennas less than -56 dB from 824~894 MHz for CDMA mobile communication. Therefore, the proposed antenna structure can be applied to eliminate the shadow area and to expand the coverage area for any other wireless communication bands.

The nearest-neighbor multihop routing with/without infrastructure support is known to achieve the optimal capacity scaling in a large packet-erasure network in which multiple wireless nodes and relay stations are regularly placed and packets are erased with a certain probability. In this paper, a throughput scaling law is shown for an infrastructure-supported erasure network where wireless nodes are randomly distributed, which is a more feasible scenario. We use an exponential decay model to suitably model an erasure probability. To achieve high throughput in hybrid random erasure networks, the multihop routing via highway using the percolation theory is proposed and the corresponding throughput scaling is derived. As a main result, the proposed percolation highway based routing scheme achieves the same throughput scaling as the nearest-neighbor multihop case in hybrid regular erasure networks. That is, it is shown that no performance loss occurs even when nodes are randomly distributed.

This paper proposes the design of multiband repeater antenna with fire-fighting band for in-building mobile communication. The proposed antenna is composed of a center monopole and 4 parasitic elements on a circular plate. In order to realize good reflection coefficients at the multiband, mutual coupling between 4 parasitic elements and center monopole antenna is considered. The important parameters such as distance between parasitic element and a center monopole, and each height of a center monopole and 4 parasitic elements are simulated to obtain good antenna characteristics at the multiband. The diameter of 4 parasitic elements and a center monopole was fixed to 10 mm for easy design and manufacturing. The measurement results of reflection coefficients, 2-D patterns and gain agreed well with their simulation ones.

Remote management and control system for LMDS wireless CATV network which is being developed at SK Telecom is developed. This system is composed of central control division located at head center and remote units for remote transceivers equipped in base stations and repeaters. It monitors the state of the remote transceivers and controls the operations using PSTN for iterface. Remote transceivers whould be equipped in pairs, and the operations are exchanged automatically in case of emergency situations. the remote units are designed not only to perform commands form central control division, bet to inform emergency situations such as disorder and power failure. This system works well, which is established at Central research center in SK Telecom with remote units such as BTX, PPTX, and PPRX. This system could be utilized in other applications requiring remote control through sligh modifications.

In this paper a new clock generation scheme for TDM-CDM converter in the Gap Filler for satellite DMB systems has been proposed. The scheme uses the frame sync signal from the Ku band TDM receiver to lock the VCXO which provides the system clock for the TDM-CDM converter. The locking algorithm can be easily implemented in the FPGA, so that no separate circuitry is needed as in conventional PLL. With a stable OCXO, The scheme can be used to generate the reference clock to the local oscillator for RF parts.

최근 대용량 모바일 트래픽을 효율적으로 처리하고 다양한 5세대 지식 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 차세대 이동통신 기술개발을 목표로 중추 네트워크라는 개념이 고려되고 있다. 중추 네트워크에서는 시스템 용량을 기존 이동통신 시스템 대비 크게 증대시키기 위하여 밀리미터파 대역에서 넓은 대역폭을 사용하고 빔형성 기술을 통하여 무선자원을 재사용한다. 그러나 밀리미터파 대역은 직진성이 매우 강하기 때문에 비가시거리 통신영역에서 통신 품질이 급격히 저하되는 문제점이 발생하며, 이를 해결하기 위해 중추 네트워크에서는 적절한 위치에 중계기를 설치하여 비가시거리 통신영역을 최소화하는 것을 고려한다. 본 연구에서는 기지국 및 중계기 위치에 따른 중추 네트워크의 성능을 분석하기 위해 개발된 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이터를 소개한다. 본 시뮬레이터는 중추 네트워크의 통신영역과 채널용량을 분석 및 연구하는데 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

OFDM 변조방식의 특징 중 하나가 SFN(Single Frequency Network) 기능이다. 최근 지상파 UHDTV방송을 기대하면서 OFDM 변조방식의 SFN기능을 이용한 가정 내 무선수신 환경에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그러나 SFN기능이 가능할지라도 송 중계기와 갭 필러 측면에서 보면 프로그램을 전달하는 별도의 백본망 없이 수신과 송신이 동일한 주파수로 이루어지려면 송신된 전파가 다시 자기 안테나로 수신되는 Feedback현상에 대해 좀 더 많은 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 가정과 사무실 등에서 사용하고 있는 저가의 가정용 T-DMB 갭 필러를 이용한 수신실태와 Feedback 현상에 대해 몇 가지 실험을 실행해 보았다. 가정용 갭 필러의 Feedback현상과 사용 형태를 분석함으로써 향후 UHDTV방송의 원활한 SFN망 구축과 가정 내 무선 수신환경 구축을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
