This paper proposes the hardware IP design of JBIG2 encoder. In order to facilitate the next generation FAX after the standardization of JBIG2, major modules of JBIG2 encoder are designed and implemented, such as symbol extraction module, Huffman coder, MMR coder, and MQ coder. ImpulseC Codeveloper and Xilinx ISE/EDK program are used for the synthesis of VHDL code. To minimize the memory usage, 128 lines of input image are processed succesively instead of total image. The synthesized IPs are downloaded to Virtex-4 FX60 FPGA on ML410 development board. The four synthesized IPs utilize 36.7% of total slice of FPGA. Using Active-HDL tool, the generated IPs were verified showing normal operation. Compared with the software operation using microblaze cpu on ML410 board, the synthesized IPs are better in operation time. The improvement ratio of operation time between the synthesized IP and software is 17 times in case of symbol extraction IP, and 10 times in Huffman coder IP. MMR coder IP shows 6 times faster and MQ coder IP shows 2.2 times faster than software only operation. The synthesized H/W IP and S/W module cooperated to succeed in compressing the CCITT standard document.

Underwater acoustic communication can be applied to various area such as scientific, commercial and military survey using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles. Underwater communication is studying very actively by advanced country like United States. But differ from wireless communication in the air, underwater acoustic communication has some difficult problems, ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) due to multipath and limit of transmission bandwidth due to slow propagation of sound wave. In this paper, SC-FDE and OFDM transmission system for the cancellation of ISI in conjunction with underwater acoustic channel modeling are applied to the underwater simulation of communication. The performance of these methods in the simulation guide to possibility of adopting in underwater acoustic communication algorithm. For this purpose, we compare SER performance of SC-FDE with that of OFDM for modelled underwater channel. Underwater channel is generated by Bellhop model. Simulation results show above 5dB SNR gain at 10-3 SER. And it demonstrate SC-FDE is efficient method for underwater acoustic communication.

Unlike conventional DVB-T transmission with the streaming method, DVB-H system based on the IPDC(IP Data Casting) method uses Time-slicing scheme to achieve the maximization of portability by reducing the power consumption of a receiver. To enhance the power efficiency of the receiver, Time-slicing scheme controls the receiver operation to perform only for corresponding burst in specific time slot. The additional power saving can also be achieved by reducing the required time for synchronization. In this paper, we propose a fast scattered pilot synchronization algorithm, which detects the pilot pattern of currently received OFDM symbol. The proposed scheme is based on the correlation between the adjacent subcarriers of potential scattered pilot position in two consecutively received OFDM symbols. Therefore, it can reduce the time for the scattered pilot synchronization within two symbols as com-pared with the conventional method used for DVB-T. And the proposed algorithm has better performance than the two schemes proposed by Nokia for DVB-H and the method using correlation with reference signal. Extensive com-puter simulation is performed based on ETSI EN300 744 ETSI and performance results show that the proposed algorithm has more efficient and stable operation than the conventional schemes.

In this paper, a novel preamble structure, including a synchronization preamble and a cell search preamble, is proposed for OFDM-based cellular systems. An efficient algorithm for downlink synchronization and cell searching using the preamble is also proposed. The synchronization process includes the initial symbol timing estimation using continuously, or at least, periodically transmitted downlink signal, frame synchronization, the fine symbol timing estimation, and the frequency offset estimation using the synchronization preamble, and the cell identification using the cell searching preamble. Performance of each synchronization and cell searching step is analyzed and the analytic results including the overall performance of the synchronization and cell searching are verified by computer simulation. It is shown that the proposed preamble with the corresponding synchronization and cell searching algorithm can provide very robust synchronization and cell searching capability even in bad cellular environments.

In this paper, we propose a timing synchronization scheme and its hardware architecture of the next generation IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard which is based on MIMO-OFDM technique. Proposed timing synchronization method takes two steps which consist of two modified auto-correlators. For coarse timing synchronization, a sliding window differentiator is used after a conventional auto-correlation in order to avoid plateau problem. The conjugate symmetry property of L-LTS is utilized for the simplification of fine timing synchronization. Since cross-correlation based methods are not required, the computational complexity and the number of multipliers can be reduced. In order to reduce the hardware complexity, we have used sign multipliers. Based on simulation results, the proposed method outperforms a conventional method. The proposed scheme can be applied to IEEE 802.11n systems and can easily be expanded to frequency synchronization scheme.

OFDM시스템의 대안으로, SC-FDE시스템은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경에서 구현상의 복잡도가 크지 않으면서 낮은 PAPR로 다중 경로 지연에 의한 영향을 완화시키기 위한 기술로 연구되어 왔다. SC-FDE시스템에서 보호 구간으로 PN신호를 훈련 심볼(Training Sequence)로 둠으로써 CP에 비해 빠른 동기화와 채널 추정에 사용될 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 채널 추정을 위해 Correlation과 LMS기법을 동시에 적용함으로써 에러가 최소가 되기까지 수렴 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 PN시퀀스를 기반으로 추정한 채널 값으로, ISI를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 MMSE-FDE 등화 기법을 제안한다. SFN 채널 환경과 같이 스펙트럼 널이 강한 다중 경로 페이딩환경에서 ISI를 선 제거 하는 ISI cancellation 기법을 통해 정확한 SNR추정을 할 수 있고, 이를 통해 MMSE-FDE 등화 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 다중화 (OFDM) 신호의 새로운 peak to average power ratio (PAPR) 감쇄 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 시간영역에서 OFDM 심볼의 동상 (in-phase) 성분 및 직교 (quadrature) 성분을 회전시키고 재조합한다. 제안 기법은 기존의 partial transmit sequence (PTS) 기법과 비교하여 계산량을 현저히 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있었음에도 모의 실험을 통해 얻어진 PAPR의 complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF)는 PTS와 비교할 때 거의 같은 성능을 보였다. 더욱이 제안된 기법은 additive white Gaussian (AWGN) 채널 및 다중 경로 페이딩 채널 (multi-path fading channel)에서 일반적인 OFDM 신호를 전송할 때와 거의 같은 BER (bit error rate) 성능을 보였다.

광대역 무선 통신 시스템에서는 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널상에서 발생하는 인접 심볼간의 간섭에 의한 성능 열화를 극복하기 위해서 채널 등화 기술의 도입이 필연적이다. 그러나, 데이터 전송률이 증가함에 따라 채널 등화에 필요한 훈련열의 길이가 늘어나고, 이로 인한 오버헤드를 감소하기 위해서는 보다 수렴률이 높은 적응 알고리즘이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 영역의 적응 여파 기법 중의 하나인 자기 직교환 방식의 결정궤환 등화기를 고려한다. 이 채널 등화기에서는 적응 알고리즘으로 DCT-LMS (discrete cosine transform least mean square) 알고리즘을 채택함으로써 수렴률과 MSE (mean square error) 성능을 향상시켜 결과적으로 광대역 무선통신에서 요구되는 훈련열에 따른 오버헤드를 감소시킬 수 있게 된다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 선택적 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서의 제안된 채널 등화 기법에 대한 성능을 분석한다.
