본 논문에서는 사전등화를 이용하는 상향링크 MC-CDMA(multicarrier-code division multiple access)/TDD(time division duplexing) 시스템에서 사전등화를 위한 상향링크 채널을 추정하는 방법들을 제안하고 시스템의 성능분석을 수행한다. 제안된 방법들에서는 하향링크 슬롯구간에서의 채널변화를 적절한 차수의 다항식으로 모델링하고, 이 다항식을 상향링크 슬롯구간으로 확장함으로써 상향링크 슬롯구간의 채널을 추정한다. 하향링크 슬롯구간에서의 채널변화는 MMSE(minimum mean squared error)curve fitting 방법이나 Lagrange 보간법 등이 사용되며 1차, 2차, 3차 다항식으로 근사화 된다. 성능지표로 정확도보다 시스템 성능이 중요 하므로 BER (bit error rate)을 사용한다. 다양한 시스템 및 채널환경에서의 모의실험 결과로부터 Lagrange 보간법은 하향링크 채널정보가 정확한 경우에는 MMSE 방법보다 성능이 다소 우수하지만 하향링크 채널추정 오류에 매우 민감하며, 2 차 다항식을 사용한 MMSE curve fitting 방법은 다양한 환경에서 우수한 성능을 가질 뿐만 아니라 채널추정 오류에도 매우 강인함을 알 수 있다.

차세대 양방향데이터방송 (BIFS: BInary Format for Scenes) 서비스에서는 하향링크(downlink) 데이터 전송률에 상응하는 높은 상향링크(uplink) 데이터 전송률이 요구되고 있다. 이에 무선 전송 채널의 한정된 자원 환경 속에서 상향링크 전송용량 증대를 위한 주파수 효율성 제고 기술의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 양방향데이터방송을 위한 다중 모바일(mobile) 사용자의 클러스터(cluster) 기반 상향링크 협동 다이버시티(cooperative diversity) 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 하나의 단일 안테나(single antenna) 방송 기지국과 다수의 단일 안테나 모바일 사용자가 있는 상향링크 시분할다중접속 (TDMA: Time Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 데이터 지연허용(delay-tolerant)에 따라 클러스터를 구성하고 제곱 다이버시티 차수(square diversity order)의 협동 프로토콜(cooperative protocol)을 통해 높은 공간다이버시티 이득(spatial diversity gain)을 얻는다. 또한, 비대칭(asymmetric) 무선 채널 환경에서 공정성(fairness)을 보장한다.

Asymmetric networks that the downlink bandwidth is larger than the uplink bandwidth may cause the degradation of the TCP performance due to the uplink congestion. In order to solve this problem, this paper designs and implements the Dynamic Segment Size Control mechanism which offers a suitable segment size for current networks. The proposed mechanism does not require any changes in customer premises but suppress the number of ACKs using segment reassembly technique to avoid the uplink congestion. The gateway which adapted the Dynamic Segment Size Control mechanism, detects the uplink congestion condition and dynamically measures the bandwidth asymmetric ratio and the packet loss ratio. The gateway reassembles some of segments received from the server into a large segment and transmits it to the client. This reduces the number of corresponding ACKs. In this mechanism, the SACK option is used when occurs the bit error during the transmission. Based on the simulation in the GEO satellite network environment, we analyzed the performance of the Dynamic Segment Size Control mechanism.

Even though current LTE/LTE-A mobile networks provide enough high data rate and low latency to support conventional wireless services, to support ultra-low delay services, such as virtual reality and remote control, in the next generation mobile communication network, it is required to provide very low delay about several ms. However, in the uplink transmission of the LTE/LTE-A system, the process of scheduling grant is required to obtain uplink resources for uplink transmission from the eNB. The process of granting uplink resources from eNB brings additional fixed latency, which is one of the critical obstacles to achieve low delay in uplink transmissions. Thus, in this paper, we propose a novel uplink transmission scheme called Cut-in uplink transmission, to reduce uplink latency. We provide the performance of the proposed uplink transmission scheme through simulations and show the proposed uplink transmission scheme provides lower uplink transmission delay than conventional uplink transmission scheme in LTE/LTE-A mobile networks.

It is essential to develop an estimation and cancellation algorithm for feedback signals in designing the interference cancellation systems (ICS) as a solution to extending the coverage of the TDD LTE networks. Unlike the radio access of FDD LTE networks, TDD networks utilize the same frequency band in downlink and uplink for radio access. For this reason, downlink and uplink are repeated in time and thus the estimation of the feedback signals in uplink and downlink, respectively, is periodically paused to cause performance degradation. In this study, the reciprocity of downlink and uplink is examined through experiments and exploiting the same frequency band in uplink and downlink, an efficient channel estimation and elimination algorithm is proposed since the algorithm utilizes the same structure for both downlink and uplink.

In conventional single-tier networks, downlink based association is the best association scheme for the uplink association because all macro base stations have the same physical specification. However, in uplink heterogeneous cellular networks, a downlink based cell association cannot be the best for uplink any more because of the difference of physical specification between the different base station. In this paper, we will propose a uplink based cell association scheme, and devise performance metric for describing a uplink performance in heterogeneous cellular networks. Then, we will discuss the necessity of the uplink based association by observing outage probability, delay constraint outage probability, delay constraint outage capacity.

In this paper, for a uplink space division multiple access system named cooperative spatial multiplexing(CSM), radio resource management(RRM) algorithms are proposed based on sharing uplink channel information among a serving base station(BS) and interfering BSs in a uplink coordinated wireless communication system. A constrained maximum transmit power algorithm is proposed for mobile station(MS) to limit uplink inter-cell interference(ICI). And joint scheduling algorithm among coordinated BSs is proposed to enhance uplink capacity through ICI mitigation by using channel information from interfering BSs. It is shown that the proposed RRM algorithm provides a considerable uplink capacity enhancement by effective ICI mitigation only with moderate complexity.

A distributed uplink power control algorithm based on flocking model is proposed to improve the energy efficiency of mobiles station (MS) in cellular networks. As each bird in a flock matches its velocity with the average velocity of the adjacent birds, each MS in a cell matches its uplink rate with the average uplink rate of the co-channel MSs in adjacent cells by controlling its transmission power. Results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the power consumption in the MS, while maintaining a low outage probability, which eventually improves the energy efficiency of the MS.

DFT spread OFDM은 OFDM 방식의 주요한 장점을 보유하면서 낮은 cubic metric 특성을 가지는 전송 방식이다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 DFT spread OFDM은 3GPP LTE 시스템의 상향 링크 기본 전송 방식으로 채택되었으며, 3GPP LTE-Advanced 시스템에서도 이의 확장된 형태의 전송 기술이 기반이 되어 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 또한 LTE-Advanced 상향 링크에서는 성능 향상을 위해 MIMO 전송을 지원하는데, MIMO 전송에 있어서도 DFT spread OFDM의 낮은 cubic metric 특성을 유지하기 위해, 하향 링크 MIMO 방식과는 다소 다른 형태로 표준이 진행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 관점에서 3GPP LTE 시스템의 상향 링크 전송 기술인 DFT spread OFDM 기술을 소개하고, LTE-Advanced 시스템의 상향 링크 표준화 동향을 소개한다.
