본 논문에서는 전파의 도달시간을 이용한 이동통신 측위 시스템에서 사용되는 직접해, 최소 자승, 테일러 시리즈 그리고 찬 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하고, 각 알고리즘을 사용하여 계산된 결과를 궤환시켜 이동국의 위치를 재계산함으로써 보다 향상된 측위를 할 수 있는 결정 궤환 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 규칙 7셀 좌표와 불규칙 셀 좌표를 이용하여 이동국을 위치시킨 후, 전파의 지연시간에 따른 측위오차와 표준편차 그리고 각 알고리즘별 발산횟수를 조사하였으며, 실험결과 결정 궤환 방법을 사용하였을 경우 기존의 방법보다 향상된 성능을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a time-to-digital converter (TDC) with compensation capability for PVT (process, voltage, and temperature) variations. A typical delay line-based TDC measures time based on the inverter's propagation delay, making it fundamentally sensitive to PVT variations. This paper presents a method to minimize the resolution change of TDC by compensating for the propagation delay caused by the PVT variations. Additionally, it dopts Cyclic Vernier TDC (CVTDC) structure to provide a wide input detection range. The proposed CVTDC with PVT compensation function is designed using a 45nm CMOS process, consumes 8mW of power, offers a TDC resolution of 5 ps, and has an input detection range of about 5.1 ns.

Unlike a terrestrial wireless sensor network which uses radio waves, UWASN(Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network) relies on acoustic waves. There are lots of ongoing researches for long latency and limited bandwidth of underwater sensor network by using acoustic wave. Packets transferred by node often colide in underwater sensor network due to long latency. To solve this kind of problem, in general, Back-off scheme which is used in wireless network is used. However, fixed Slot-time according to node allocation generates useless time delay, and this lowers network performance. In this thesis, active setting technique of Slot-time is proposed, and applied for already studied MAC protocol. At the conclusion, it was proved that the MAC protocol using the proposed scheme has better performance than existing MAC protocol as a result comparison.

Carry lookahead(CLA) circuitry of decimal adders is proposed aiming at delay reduction. The truncation error in calculation of monetary interests may accumulate yielding a substantial amount of errors. Binary Coded Decimal(BCD) additions. for example, eliminate the truncation error in a fractional representation of decimal numbers. The proposed BCD carry lookahead scheme is aiming at the speed improvements without any truncation errors in the addition of decimal fractions. The delay estimation of the BCD CLA is demonstrated with improved performance in addition. Further reduction in delay can be achieved introducing non-weighted number system such as the excess-3 code.

This paper provides a comprehensive study of the effect of time delay on adaptive transmission methods. By adaptive we mean that the transmission of data is made adaptive according to channel conditions. That is, the modulation level at the transmitter is carefully controlled for maximizing bandwidth efficiency, on the basis of the observation of instantaneous channel characteristics. By making use of the simulator developed for the present work, a large number of channel propagation environments including the models proposed in 3GPP were submitted to the simulator and the performance with respect to both time delay and SNR is observed. The results show that the performance is very sensitive to channel delay and in some cases the performance shows irreducible BER (IBER). A large amount of delay together with a high fading rate greatly affects the performance of adaptive transmission systems.

위성통신 및 무선통신에서 안테나의 수신 감도를 향상시키기 위한 노력은 계속되어 왔다. 안테나의 지향성을 높이기 위하여 다수의 동형 단위 안테나들을 일정 방향으로 배열하여 안테나를 기계적으로 회전시키지 않고, 고정된 다수의 동형 단위 안테나들에서 방사되는 전파의 위상을 전자적으로 변화시켜 방사 빔을 주사하는 방법, 즉 위상배열 안테나(Phased Array Antenna)를 널리 사용하고 있다. 위상배열 안테나의 단위 안테나에서 방사되는 전파의 위상을 변화시키기 위해선 실시간 시간지연 시스템이 필요하다. (중략)

In this paper, a transcoding algorithm for SMV and AMR speech coder is proposed. In the application requiring the interoperability of different networks, two speech coders must work together with the structure of cascaded connection, tandem. The tandem which is one of the simplest methods has several problems such as long delay, high complexity and the quality degradation due to twice complete encoding/decoding process. These problems can be solved by using transcoding algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of LSP (Line Spectral Pair) conversion, pitch delay conversion, and fast fixed codebook search. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves equivalent speech quality to that of tandem with reduced computational complexity and delay.

In this paper, we introduce a simulation result of cross ambiguity function (CAF) using time difference of arrival and frequency difference of arrival. This method is generally used to find a geographical location of the unknown radio transmitter. If multiple signals with the same source information are arrived at a receiver via different paths, then they will have different time delays and Doppler shifts. We can estimate the CAF by using these characteristics, and estimate the location of the unknown transmitter. This paper introduces a technique to improve the estimation performance of CAF.

Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSANs) enhance the existing wireless sensor networks (WSNs) by equipping sensor nodes with an actuator. The actuators work with the sensor nodes and perform application-specific operations. The WSAN systems have several applications such as disaster relief, intelligent building, military surveillance, health monitoring, and infrastructure security. These applications require capability of reliable data transfer to act responsively and accurately. Biologically inspired modeling techniques have received considerable attention for achieving robustness, scalability, and adaptability, while retaining individual simplicity. In this paper, an epidemic-inspired algorithm for data dissemination with delay constraints while minimizing energy consumption in WSAN is proposed. The steady states and system stability are analyzed using control theory. Also, simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme provides desirable dissemination delay and energy saving.
