In this paper, to improve bandwidth amplitude fluctuation for the broadband signal in indoor propagation environment, we measured and analyzed broadband signal using a vertically polarized, horizontally polarized and circularly polarized antenna, conducting by frequency sweeping method in NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) environment. And, to investigate the optimum condition for the improvement of broadband propagation characteristics we also examined the effects of both human motions and transmission antenna height in the NLOS environment. As a result, in the case of NLOS environment, it was found that the amplitude deviation characteristics in frequency bandwidth can be improved by polarization diversity reception. Especially, we found that it is the best effective one to make polarization diversity reception branches, which install the circularly polarized antenna at transmitting end and install the polarized diversity branches received vertical or/and horizontal polarized wave at receiving end. The affection of a human motions is not so much in LOS and NLOS environment, but it can lead to the cause of burst error in indoor digital radio communications as the fade of signal strength become more deeper. And also, when raise the transmitting antenna up to the ceiling, the LOS and NLOS environment could be coexisted. In this case, it can be also inferred that frequency bandwidth amplitude deviation must be fundamentally improved by using polarization diversity reception technique to make the possibility of high transmission rate.

This paper proposes an adaptive cooperative scheme in the cell boundary. The user location and the suitable cooperative transmission scheme are considered in the proposed scheme. If the user is located in the cell boundary, the quality of communication is degraded. Two base stations are used to obtain diversity in the conventional schemes. But the quality of communication is not sufficiently improved because the user is still distant from the base stations. So, the scheme is proposed that the relays and the adaptive cooperative scheme are used considering the location of the user. By the simulation, it is proved that the proposed scheme is better than the conventional scheme.

Cognitive Radio(CR)는 특정 주파수 대역을 사용하도록 할당된 유저가 사용하지 않을 때, 이를 탐지하여 해당 주파수 대역을 이용함으로써 주파수 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술이다. 특히, CR에서 스펙트럼 센싱(Spectrum Sensing)은 중요한 기술의 하나라고 말할 수 있다. 기존의 스펙트럼 센싱 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로, 다수의 노드가 각각 판정한 결과를 이용하는 OR-Rule, AND-Rule 등의 기법이 제안된 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 수신 다이버시티 기법 중의 하나인 Equal Gain Combiner(EGC) 알고리듬 이용하여 스펙트럼 센싱 성능을 알아보고 특히, 기존의 방법은 각 노드에서 판정 후 판정부에서 그 결과를 결합하여 최종 판정하는 방법이나, 본 논문에서 적용한 EGC 기법은 각 노드에서 수신된 신호에 대한 검출된 에너지 값을 융합센터(Fusion Center)로 보내어 최종 판정하는 방법이다. 각 노드에서 검출된 에너지 값을 융합센터가 수신한 신호에는 실질적으로 잡음이 섞이게 되므로 이로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 전송 오류를 추가적으로 고려하였다. 또한, 각 노드에서 검출한 에너지 값이 융합센터로 전송될 때에는 양자화 되어서 전송된다. 이에 따라서 양자화 bit수와 관련된 센싱 성능과 데이터의 반복 전송의 필요성, 그리고 그 횟수에 대해 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we present more effective throughput enhancement technique to improve the data rate and reliability by using the multiple antenna technique. The conventional spatial diversity scheme is limited in according with the interference from each antenna channel status, and the orthogonality of spreading codes and subcarriers are destroyed due to the frequency selectivity. Proposed system is considered MC-CDMA system with 4 transmit antennas and 1 receive antenna. Proposed system based on SVD with the MS-RLS MMSE subcarrier combining method in order to achieve better performance with low computational complexity. Via computer simulation, we confirm that the proposed system is able to improve the BER performance by suppressing the interference of other antenna signals.

In this paper, we propose a possibility of usage of carrier superpositioning scheme for a specific slow frequency hopping(SFH) transmission method for the satellite data link in which all of hopping carriers have to be synchronized to DSM transponder of our previous work and usage of frequency diversity in the saved frequency to overcome the SFH disadvantage against jammer. We have analyzed anti-jamming performance and LPI performance and confirmed that the proposed scheme can support data service with 18.5dB processing gain against the worst case partial band jamming and give 2.5dB gain in the LPI performance against D&M detector which can estimate the data rate of unknown signals.

In this paper, CDD(Cyclic Delay Diversity)-DSF(decode-and-selectively forward) relay schemes are proposed for MC-CDMA(multicarrier-code division multiple access) systems over multipath Rayleigh fading channels. On the contrary to general DSF schemes, each relay equipped a CDD method can transmit on single channel. Therefore, all link channels between destination and relays can be considered as a single channel which is widely delay spread. The cooperative diversity of relay networks can be obtained as the frequency diversity for MC-CDMA systems with proposed CDD schemes. Furthermore, a semi-analytical approach for the averaged bit error rare(BER) performance evaluation is proposed for the proposed CDD-DSF-Relay schemes. By simulation and numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed one can be a possible solution to achieve cooperative diversity gain without a reduction of spectral efficiency.

The forward link of the 3 G CDMA system may become limited under the increasing of the number of users. The conventional channelization code, Walsh code, has not enough sizes for much possible non, therefore, the quasi orthogonal function(QOF), which process optimal cross-correlation with Walsh code, is considered. In this paper, we investigate quasi orthogonal function on Jacket matrices, which can lead lower correlations values and better performance in 3 G CDMA system. Moreover, to simple the detector and improve the BER performance, a novel detection for QOF CDMA system is proposed. Finally, the simple recursive generation of the bent sequences for QOF mask function is discussed.

Recently to introduce new services of ultra-high speed wireless access and systems beyond the 3rd generation mobile communication, 5 GHz band has been highly interested. As a way of getting the required frequency, it is considered that microwave relay bands below 6 GHz, which shows a slow decrease in demand and less cost-effectiveness, should be moved to other bands above 6 GHz. In this paper, as a tool for analyzing microwave link design and its service quality, the outage prediction based upon Vigants & Barnett＇s model is reviewed. To show outage and availability calculation, simulations are performed for the operating 4 GHz radio sites, and some results and features regarding frequency movement to 6.7 as well as 8 GHz are also discussed in terms of diversity techniques, bit error rate, and availability As the results, it is confirmed that only the diversity techniques of space or space and frequency can satisfy the annual objective of availability irrespective of frequency movement.

In this paper, the performance improvement of ultra-wideband (UWB) communications system to achieve high-data-rate using spatial diversity provided by multiple receive antennas is investigated. We derive the expression for the received SINR after spatially combining through multiple receive antennas and evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance by numerical simulation. We also compare the performance results in the case of 2PPM systems with the theoretical performance results in the case of 2PAM THMA UWB systems. The impacts of spatial diversity on the performance of 2PPM and 2PAM THMA UWB systems are analyzed. It is shown that the BER performance is improved as the number of receive antennas increases. Also, it is observed that in the presence of multiple user interference signals, the performance of 2PAM THMA UWB systems is considerably superior to that of 2PPM THMA UWB systems.

The communication system using multiple antennas improves link reliability or system capacity using tx & rx diversity, spatial multiplexing, and beamforming technique with services and characteristics of channel environment. This system is sensitive to spatial channel environment. In case of diversity, the lower correlation among links as a LoS environment, the better performance is acquired. In practical channel environment, However, there is high correlation, and there is high performance difference between ideal case and practical case. On the contrary, in case of beamforming, the higher correlation among links, the better performance is acquired. If we use the spatial adaptive transmission technique with spatial channel characteristics, we can get the system that maintains minimum link reliability and guarantees the overall system performance. In this paper, we propose the adaptive transmission and reception technique which use diversity or beamforming technique with channel characteristics.
