This paper proposes a new stereophonic acoustic echo canceller to prevent impairments on the voice quality and to remove acoustic echo effectively appearing in stereo environment at the instant of abrupt change of the transmission room environment in teleconferencing system. In stereophonic acoustic echo canceller, the major defective problems are the large computational complexity of estimating echo path systems due to the long impulse response of the true echo paths and the performance degradation of echo canceller due to large correlation between dual stereo signals. Moreover, the change of the suboptimal solution for the echo canceller was considered as a critical deficient factor on to the performance of stereophonic echo canceller. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes pseudo stereophonic acoustic echo canceller using Hyper-plane projection algorithm, which shows the robustness to the environment change of the transmission room and the efficiency of computational complexity.

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) has drawn much attention due to wide service coverage with low system cost. However, WMN suffers from high bit error rate, which provides different link capacity among wireless mesh routers. The conventional routing metrics select the path based on link quality. The link with the best quality is preferred as the data transmission path, and they becomes the bottleneck links, which leads to network performance degradation. In this paper, we propose a routing metric that considers the available bandwidth and the number of nodes suffering congestion in the path. Through computer simulations, we verified that the proposed routing metric outperforms the existing routing metrics in terms of average transmission delay, packet loss, system throughput.

본 논문은 지상파 방송망 내 전계강도가 낮은 지역에 최소한의 데이터 전송률을 보장하기 위한 계층변조와 다중경로 채널 극복 및 수신 성능 향상을 위한 다중 안테나 수신기법을 SFN에 적용하여 제안하였다. 계층변조는 기존의 데이터 스트림에 부가적인 데이터 스트림을 삽입함에 따라 지상파 3D HDTV 방송 서비스는 더 많은 유효 전송률을 확보하고 고품질 비디오 서비스를 제공할 수 있었다. 그러나 기본 서비스의 품질을 유지하면서 부가적인 서비스의 품질을 보장하기 위한 대책이 필요하다. 그래서 송, 수신 안테나의 이득을 올리기 위해 다중 안테나 사용 방식을 채용하고, 그 수신 성능을 다중 안테나 위치에 따라 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 수신 안테나가 한 쪽의 송신 안테나에 가까워질수록 실질적인 SNR이 증가하여 BER 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

WiMedia provides the data rate of up to 1Gbps, but the transmission range is restricted to approximately 10 meters. When constructing a multi-hop WiMedia network to extend its coverage, conventional hop-based routing may not guarantee satisfactorily the required QoS. We propose two QoS routing techniques for the WiMedia-based wireless mesh network. The proopsed QoS routing reflects the characteristics of TDMA-based WiMedia MAC and develops QoS extensions separately for on-demand routing and table-driven routing. Through simulations, we identify that the QoS routing shows better performance than the hop-based routing. It also turns out that the QoS on-demand routing and the QoS table-driven routing show conflicting performance results depending on the transmission power.

In this paper we have investigated a novel approach applying low-density parity-check coding to a COFDM-CDMA system, which operates in a multi-path fading mobile channel. Developed as a linear-block channel coder, the LDPC code is known for a superior signal reception capability in AWGN and/or flat fading channels with respect to increased encoding rates, however, its performance degrades when the communication channel becomes multi-path fading. For a typical multi-path fading mobile channel with a SNR of 16㏈ or lower. in order to obtain a BER lower than 1 out of 10000, the LDPC code with encoding rates below 1:3 requires not only the inherent parity check information but also the piloting information for refreshing front-end equalizer taps of COFDM-CDMA, periodically. For instance, while the 1:3-rate LDPC coded transmission symbol is consisted of data bits and parity-check bits in 1 to 3 proportion, on the other hand, in the proposed method the same rate LDPC transmission symbol contains data bits, parity check bits, and pilot bits in 1 to 2 to 1 proportion, respectively. The included pilot bits are effective not only for channel estimation and channel equalization but for symbol decoding by assisting the parity-check bits, hence, improving SNR vs BER performance over the conventional 1:3-rate LDPC code. The proposed system performance has been verified using computer simulations in multi-path, Rayleigh fading channels, and the results show us that the proposed method out-performs the general LDPC channel coding methods in terms of SNR vs BER measurements.

This paper is intended to study how well the routing protocol supplied in wireless mesh networks can evade interference path along the applied routing metric. Wireless mesh networks, unlike existing network techniques, has the characteristics that node movement is less and energy effect is limited. Therefore. this type of network requires path configuring technique to reflect such network characteristics and new routing metric to determine proper path. Routing metric proposed recently is designed to produce link quality accurately, but it configures path not considering the traffic situation of adjacent nodes. Thus. this technique has the problems of reduced transfer rate and delay between terminals occurring due to frequent traffic chaos by the interference of adjacent nodes. Therefore, this paper proposes metric that configures routing path by finding like metric that can transfer data effectively by considering the traffic situation of adjacent nodes. We confirmed through simulation that the proposed routing metric reduces the delay between terminals via the path that evades the traffic interference of adjacent node.

Currently, as the requirement for high quality Internet access from anywhere at anytime is consistently increasing, the interconnection of pure ad hoc networks to fixed IP networks becomes increasingly important. Such integrated network, referred to as hybrid ad hoc networks, can be extended to many applications, including Sensor Networks, Home Networks, Telematics, and so on. We focus on some data communication problems of hybrid ad hoc networks, such as broadcasting and routing. In particular. power failure of mobile terminals is the most important factor since it affects the overall network lifetime. We propose an energy-efficient routing protocol based on clustering for hybrid ad hoc networks. By applying the index-based data broadcasting and selective tuning methods, the infra system performs the major operations related to clustering and routing on behalf of ad hoc nodes. The proposed scheme reduces power consumption as well as the cost of path discovery and maintenance, and the delay required to configure the route.

When continuous media are transmitted over the communication networks, asynchrony which can not maintain temporal relationships among packets my occur due to a random transit delay. There exist two types of synchronization schemes ; for guaranteed or non-guaranteed resource networks. The former which applies a resource reservation technique maintains delay characteristics however, the latter supply a best-effort service. In this paper, I propose a intra-media synchronization scheme to transmit continuous media on general networks not guaranteeing a bounded delay time. The scheme controls transmission times of the packets by estimating next delay time with the delay distribution So, the arriving packets my be maintained within a limited delay boundary, and playout will be performed after buffering to smoothen small delay variations. To prevent network congestion and maintain minimum quality of service the transmitter performs media scaling-down by dropping the current packet when informed excessive delay from the receiver.

This paper suggests an algorithm to improve QoS by using DTR bit employed in the MIL-STD-188-220 protocol, when there is a multi-path between source and destination in the environment of KVMF tactical network supporting NCW. The MIL-STD-188-220 protocol can evaluate the link quality relatively but it cannot support optimal path selection for QoS. In order to solve this problem, we design an algorithm for selecting path using topology table which reflects measured DTR of path after the completion of transmission. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated by OPNET simulator. As a result of the simulation, it is found that QoS of proposed algorithm is enhanced higher than that of the MIL-STD-188-220 in the aggravated communication environment.
