본고에서는 RGB LED전광판을 이용한 가시광 정보 방송시스템에 대하여 기술한다. 현재 상용 RGB LED로 구성된 전광판에 기존의 디스플레이 기능 외에 디지털 데이터 변조기능을 부가하였다. 전광판의 규격은 1단 2열 구조로 설정하였고, 전광판의 모든 RGB LED는 NRZ 10/20 Mbps신호로 동시에 변조가 가능하도록 설계하였다. LED가 공기 중으로 방사한 가시광 신호의 성능은 수신기를 통해 데이터를 검출한 뒤에 비트오율을 측정하여 검증하였다. 전광판 RGB LED를 최대한 활용하여 LED를 10 Mbps 데이터 신호로 변조하여 방송했을 때 에러 없이 5.6m이상 전송이 가능하였고, 전송 속도가 20 Mbps인 경우는 $10^{-6}$비트오율 기준으로 5.6m까지 방송이 가능하였다. 향후 전광판 LED가 통신용으로 설계된 제품으로 대체되어 변조 특성이 좋아지고, 전광판 구조가 커져 전광판이 방출하는 전체 광출력이 증가하면 전송 특성이 보다 향상될 것으로 예상된다.

In DS/CDMA system the number of output signal levels increases as multi-channel signals are summed, hence the power amplifier with high linearity is required. PW/CDMA is a transmission technique that performs pulse width modulation on the multilevel signal synthesized from multiple channel data. In PW/CDMA system the signal level is maintained to be binary, hence the modulation and demodulation circuits become simple. In this paper we derive the probability of bit error of the PW/CDMA system in AWGN environment. The results are compared with DS/CDMA system and are verified through the computer simulations.

In this paper, an improved detection method is Proposed by supplementing multi-path gain for a MMSE detecter. This method is Proposed to complement the shortcomings of the conventional detection method which is used for multiuser detection in STBC CDMA system. We analyzed the improved method in bit error Probability viewpoint and compared the result with that of the conventional method In this result, we showed that the improved method obtains better performance of bit error probability than the conventional method when parameters such as delay, number of user and SNR are increased.

In this paper, we propose a new sequential message-passing decoding algorithm of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by partitioning check nodes. This new decoding algorithm shows better bit error rate(BER) performance than that of the conventional message-passing decoding algorithm, especially for small number of iterations. Analytical results tell us that as the number of partitioned subsets of check nodes increases, the BER performance becomes better. We also derive the recursive equations for mean values of messages at variable nodes by using density evolution with Gaussian approximation. Simulation results also confirm the analytical results.

본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 기반으로 한 새로운 다중사용자 복조기를 제안하고, 최적(optimum) 다중사용자 복조기의 Hopfield 신경망 다중사용자 복조기를 비교 대상으로 하여 원근문제가 존재하는 환경에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 비트오율 성능을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 원근문제에 존재하는 채널환경에서는 본 논문에서 제안한 구조는 상당히 적은 계산량으로 최적의 다중사용자 복조기와 Hopfield 다중사용자 복조기와 근접한 성능을 기대할 수 있었고, 원근문제가 존재하지 않는 경우에서는 Hopfield 신경망구조보다 우월한 성능향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, 2-D RAKE receiver simulator is made which beamforming technique is applied to in WCI)MA uplink basestation, and the performance is compared with that of 1-D RAKE receiver with varying the number of array elements, RAKE fingers and users. To model angular component of received signal and interfering signals due to multiple access, it is assumed that multiple users are located in the arbitrary direction of the same distance far from the basestation within a sector of the cell, and the channel simulator is made by using Geometry Based Single Bounce Elliptical Model(GBSBEM) suggested by Rappaport. BER performance is compared and analyzed with the various choise of the number of array elements, the number of RAKE fingers, the number of users and Eb/No. These results indicate that increasing the number of array elements eliminates efficiently multiple access interfering signals and improves dramatically BER performance.

In this paper, we propose a downlink beamforming method which is considered common pilot channel for coherent detection and dedicated traffic channel for desired user in FDD/CDMA systems. The existing downlink beamforming system produces phase mismatch between traffic and pilot signals at desired mobile as well as interference to other mobiles. A new downlink beamforming method can solve above problem based on least squares method between reference function and beamforming function. A numerical analysis shows that the proposed downlink beamforming method matches well and gives low BER performance.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a noncoherent OOK (On-Off Keying) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) system based on power detection with noise power calibration and noise power windowing for ubiquitous sensor network applications in typical indoor wireless channels. Utilizing noise power calibration and noise power windowing, the current noise information can be initially or adaptively provided to determine suitable detection threshold value for signal demodulation. Simulation results show that the noncoherent OOK UWB system using noise power calibration achieves good BER (Bit Error Rate) performance which is favorably comparable to that of the system using the ideal adaptive threshold, while maintaining simple receiver structure. However, despite the serious loss of the data transmission rate, the performance improvement by noise power windowing is not so remarkable. furthermore, these performance results are similarly maintained in BEE 802.15 Task Group 3a UWB indoor channel model, and it is also revealed that the BER performance can be significantly improved by increasing the pulse repetition rate.

In this paper, we present the bit error performances of 4PSK and 8PSK signal transmission schemes using Maximal Ratio Combining diversity reception for m-distribution and Rician fading channels. The suitability of modeling a Rician fading environment by a properly chosen m-distribution model is examined. Using the error performance of the derived equation has been evaluated and shown in figures as a function of fading index (m), Rician factor (K), diversity branches number (L) and E($E_b/N_o$). It is found that MRC (Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity technique is very efficient for reducing the effects of fading, And then, diversity benifit much large as depth of fading becomes deeper but more decreases as many diversity branchs. Also the results show that the error performance corresponds as much as fading becomes weak and increases with the number diversty branches.

In this paper, to improve the performance of PB/MC-CDMA system, we have researched about the decision feedback channel estimation method using the pilot symbol with data symbol. The PB/MC-CDMA system is able to obtain the improved BER by frequency diversity gain and frequency domain equalizer in the frequency selective fading channel. However, when it is not the estimating of channel exactly, it is degrading the performance of BER in the system for occurred the interference among users. To improve the performane system in the multi-user environment the proposed system is using the decision feedback to estimate channel using the channel estimated value of the first stage and second stage. The proposed system is evaluated by computer simulation. The proposed system is not only able to improve the performance of BER by decreasing the interference to each user, but also the proposed system is possible to reduce number of pilot symbol to estimate the channel. Therefore, it confirmed the proposed system improves the performance than the conventional system.
