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 this paper, the scheme to activate the active elements of reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS) is proposed. Recently, RIS has been studied as a technology that improves communication coverage and spectral efficiency in wireless communication system. RIS can adjust the phase and amplitude of the received signal, and can ensure better communication performance in areas with many obstacles, such as urban areas. However, due to RIS, the signal undergoes fading twice and performance decrease in communication. Recently, RIS using active reflection elements has been studied to solve these problems. However, if the entire RIS is used as an active reflection element, energy consumption increases. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a system that utilizes some of the RIS reflective elements as active reflective elements and a scheme for selecting active reflective elements to be activated.

The combination of the broadband property and the wide area coverage of satellite communications enables high speed transmission. Every user in the region under the satellite beam coverage can tranceiver and one can simultaneously communicate with multiple users. For these reasons, it is one of commendable telecommunication networks for information transfer. Since the satellite communications use open channels, it is likely to cause jamming with unwanted interference signals. In the thesis, APSK (Amplitude Phase Shift Keying) is employed, which is recommended for DVB-S2 due to high-speed transmission and excellent bandwidth efficiency. For obtaining reliable communication under the jamming environments, the communication satellite transponder rests on the polyphase filter bank structure, which enables switching among the subchannels and gain control on each subchannel, resulting in effectively eliminating jamming. Furthermore, the nulling scheme, one of the various anti-jamming approaches, is investigated, in which unwanted jamming signals are eliminated in the frequency domain after passing through the analysis part of the polyphase filter bank. The performance of the nulling scheme is evaluated for tone jamming and partial band jamming in terms of BER and EVM. The simulation results indicate that the nulling scheme improve the BER and EVM performance over the case without any anti-jamming approach.

디지털 제작, 압축 기술의 발전, 유무선 인터넷 보급 확산, 다양한 전송 및 서비스 플랫폼의 등장, 전송 기술의 광대역화, 단말 기술의 발전, 라이프스타일 변화와 킬러 서비스 등장으로 미디어 시장은 급속도로 발전하고 있다. 지상파 방송은 아날로그에서 디지털로 전환하고 있으며, 고화질, 다채널, 모바일, 3D 서비스를 제공하거나 제공할 예정에 있다. 현재 디지털 TV는 아날로그 TV와 동시 방송 형태로 제공되고 있지만 2012년말 디지털 TV로 완전한 전환을 앞두고 있으며, 모바일 TV인 DMB는 2005년말 본방송을 시작하여 전국 서비스를 제공하고 방송 커버리지를 확장하고 있다. FM과 AM의 디지털화를 위한 디지털 오디오 방송도 방식 선정을 위한 절차가 진행 중이다. 전파는 송신소에서 단말까지 전송되는 도중 신호레벨 감쇠, 페이딩, 왜곡, 잡음 유입 등을 겪게 된다. 양질의 지상파 방송을 제공하기 위해서는 전파가 수신 가능한 상태 이상의 양호한 상태로 시청자에게 전달되어야 한다. 이를 위해 방송사는 방송 수신 품질을 측정하고 수신이 불량한 지역에 대해서는 송신기 설치, 송신 출력 증강, 중계기 설치 등을 통해 양질의 서비스 제공이 가능한 방송 서비스 영역을 확대한다. 다양한 지상파 방송 매체에서 수신 품질 평가를 위해 가장 많이 측정하는 항목은 전계강도이다. 대부분의 경우 어떤 지역의 전계강도가 해당 매체가 요구하는 기준 레벨 이상이면 해당 지역을 양호 지역으로 평가한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 지상파 방송 매체에 대한 전계강도를 측정하고 이를 분석할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안 시스템을 이용하면 자동화된 절차에 의해 최단 시간에 다양한 지역에 대한 방송 수신 품질을 측정하고, 그 결과를 분석하여 방송 서비스 영역에 대한 평가를 내릴 수 있으며, 측정결과를 DB로 관리하여 동일 채널에 대한 이전 측정결과와 비교 분석, 다른 채널과 전계강도 비교 분석을 통해 특정 송신기 출력이 감소되거나 특정 안테나 출력에 문제가 발생한 경우에도 이를 쉽게 감지하여 최적의 방송망 구축 및 관리가 가능하다.

Beamforming technique at the ground station is known to be effective in obtaining coverage extension or SNR gain for communication with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). When a UAV moves, periodic beam tracking is necessary to maintain beam gain. In order to track beams for multiple UAVs, the ground station needs to receive different preamble sequences from multiple UAVs. In this paper, a preamble sequence design technique is proposed for beam tracking in a GMSK-based communication system with multiple UAVs. Hadamard sequence is considered for the design of preamble sequence due to its ideal cross-correlation property. A preamble sequence appropriate for a GMSK communication system with multiple UAVs is proposed after analyzing the properties of received signal in a GMSK system with the input of Hadamard sequence.

Low-power long-range networks (LoRa) has a comprehensive coverage of up to 30 km, so that long-range positioning is possible. However, the position error in the current LoRa environment is over 500 m. This makes it difficult to use practical location services in the LoRa environment. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the position accuracy by correcting an inaccurate visual error when sending a signal from a mobile node to a gateway through the reference node of each zone in the LoRa environment. Experiments were carried out using MATLAB, and a radio propagation algorithm, the Hata model, was used to cancel out the stationary noise and to evaluate the environmental noise. Experimental results showed that the error range decreased as the number of reference nodes increased and a mobile node approach the reference node.

A 3D-ray tracing tool is a software considering reflection, penetration, and diffraction of the signals to provide accuracy. To provide communication resources effectively, communication standards adopt Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) that includes small cells. A 3D performance evaluation methodology becomes more and more important since the coverage of the small cell networks is narrower than that of the macro cell networks. It is difficult to directly apply conventional 2D mathematical models due to the complexity of small cell network; since they have many considerations such as topography, placement of buildings and 3D beamforming techniques. In this paper, we introduce an effective performance evaluation methodology for small cell networks using 3D-ray tracing tool. From simulation results, we conclude that new performance evaluation methodologies by using 3D-ray tracing tool is more suitable than conventional methodology for small cell networks.

In order to extend cell coverage and to cope with shadow areas, a relay-assisted wireless communications system has been widely studied. In this paper, we propose new equalization method for single carrier (SC) frequency domain equalizer (FDE) in amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying multi-path networks to improve the performance at shadow areas. The performance of SC-FDE system in 3-slot based multi-path networks can be improved considerably with the diversity gain which we obtain by equalizing the combined signal from relays by means of the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criteria. We find the weighting coefficients of maximum ratio combining (MRC) and the tap coefficients of MMSE equalizer for SC-FDE in AF relaying multi-path networks. Simulation results show that the proposed system considerably outperforms the conventional SC-FDE system.

In the communication between satellite and ground station, data rate can be determined from the data volume and required transmission time. Increasing data rate can be limited according to the available bandwidth. For the reason, it has been popularly studying on high spectral-efficient modulation scheme in large volume data application such as digital video broadcasting service. This paper presents the conceptual design of UHRIT broadcasting in GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK2A) mission by using DVB-S2 standard. Based on the recently determined data rate, UHRIT bandwidth was calculated at the various modulation schemes and code rates of DVB-S2 standard. Receiving performance of global user station was also evaluated thorough link analysis by considering that user station is located at the edge of beam coverage. Finally, maximum data rate was analyzed in a situation that COMS HRIT bandwidth should be alternatively applied for UHRIT downlink.

This paper presents an implementation methodology of common Rf- integrated PCS base station system which, is capable of providing PCS services for 3 PCS carriers concurrently and wireless system performance evaluation data is shown. We have built up a common PCS base station system using a commonization module, which is consisted of a multi-channel combiner, duplexer, LNA, power divider, feeder line, and a common set of antennas. It was shown that the performance of the system within the total 30MHz PCS frequency range is uniformly acceptable and measured signal quality and coverage are equivalent to that of the individual PCS base station. It is expected that PCS carriers are able to save a huge amount of installation and maintenance expenses by installing and sharing this base station system. This paper forms a groundwork for deploying efficient and economical IMT-2000 network.
