We propose an ATI (Adaptive Tone Injection) scheme based on clipping noise for PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) reduction of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals. The proposed scheme is composed of three steps: clipping, tone selection, and TI procedures. In the first step, the peak samples in the IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) outputs are scaled down by clipping. In the second step, the sub-carrier position where the power of the clipping noise is the maximum, is selected. Finally, the generic TI procedure is performed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme does not require all the possible combinations of the original TI procedures, while maintaining the PAPR reduction performance.

We calculated 3D frequency- and Laplace-domain wavefields using time-domain modeling and Fourier transform or Laplace transform. We adopted OpenACC and GPU for an efficient parallel calculation. The OpenACC makes it easy to use GPU accelerators by adding directives in conventional C, C++, and Fortran programming languages. Accordingly, one doesn't have to learn new GPGPU programming languages such as CUDA or OpenCL to use GPU. An OpenACC program allocates GPU memory, transfers data between the host CPU and GPU devices and performs GPU operations automatically or following user-defined directives. We compared performance of 3D wave propagation modeling programs using OpenACC and GPU to that using single-core CPU through numerical tests. Results using a homogeneous model and the SEG/EAGE salt model show that the OpenACC programs are approximately 53 and 30 times faster than those using single-core CPU.

ITS(Intelligent Transport System) has been researched actively to guarantee the smooth traffic and the safety of the vehicle. In recent, as the sensor for the measurement of distance between vehicles, the FMCW radar system in millimeter wave band has been interested in ITS. Actually, 47, 60, 77, 94 and 139 GHz have been assigned for the vehicle radar frequencies in Europe and Japan. However, the performances of the FMCW radar are deteriorated due to the interferences from the surrounding radars and mobile devices. In this paper, in order to model and simulate the performance of FMCW radar under the exterior interference, we propose a new performance parameter, RER(Radius Error Rate), which contains the information of the range error due to the interferences, and show the effectiveness of the proposed parameter.

In this paper, an error-resilient image compression technique using wavelet transform is proposed. The zerotree technique that uses properties of statistics, energy and directions of wavelet coefficients in the space-frequency domain shows effective compression results. Since it is highly sensitive to the propagation of channel errors, evena single bit error degrades the whole image quality severely. In the proposed algorithm, the image is encoded by the SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) algorithm using the zerotree coding technique. Encoded bitstreams are partitioned into some blocks using the subband correlations and then fixed-length blocks are made by using the effective bit reorganization algorithm. finally, an effective bit allocation technique is used to limit error propagation in each block. Therefore, in low BER the proposed algorithm shows similar compression performance to the zerotree compression technique and in high BER it shows better performance in terms of PSNR than the conventional methods.

In this paper, we introduce backscatter communication for power-limited sensors to enable long-range transmission in wireless sensor networks, and envision a way to avoid doubly near-far problem in wireless-powered communication network (WPCN) with this technology. In backscatter based WPCN, users harvest energy from both the signal broadcasted by the hybrid access point and the carrier signal transmitted by the carrier emitter in the downlink, and then transmit their own information in a passive way via the reflection of the carrier signal using frequency-shift keying modulation in the uplink. We characterize the energy-free condition and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) outage zone in backscatter based WPCN. Further, we propose backscatter based harvest-then-transmit protocol to maximize the sum-throughput of the backscatter based WPCN by optimally allocating time for energy harvesting and information transmission. Numerical results demonstrate that the backscatter based WPCN increases significantly the transmission range and diminishes greatly the SNR outage zone.

This paper related with the performance improvement of adaptive equalizer that is a based on the tricepstrum eqalization algorithm by using the received signal. Adaptive equalizer used for the improvement of communication performance, like as high speed, maintain of synchronization, BER, at the receive side in the environment of communication channel of the presence of the aditive noise, phase distortion and frequency selective fading, mainly. It's characteristics are nearly same as the inverse characterstics of the communication channel. In this paper, the TEA algorithm using the HOS and the 16-QAM which is 2-dimensional signaling method for being considered signal was used. For the precoding of 16-QAM singnal in the assignment of the signal costellation, Gray code was used, and the improvement of performance was gained by computer simulation in the residual intersymbol interence and mean squared error which is representive measurement of adaptive equalizer.

To complete the "anywhere" mobile service there should not be shaded areas. However, it is never economical to deploy BS's (Base Stations) in a low population density area due to the low resource utilization. We propose a design technique to install RS's(Relay Stations) which are cheaper than BS's and find the condition in which the proposed technique is acceptible. The proposed design technique aims to allocate the frequency and time resources to RS's to minimize the transmission rate degradation due to interferences between RS's as well as to maximize the parallelism in transmission. We showed by simulation that the proposed technique achieves cost benefits when the expected traffic is less than 20.32 percent of the total BS capacity. The proposed technique is compatible with the IEEE 802.16j, thus can be extended to multi-hop configuration.

Clustering algorithm is an essential element to implement a hierarchical routing protocol, especially for a large-scale wireless sensor network. In this paper, we propose a new type of energy-efficient clustering algorithm, which maximizes the physical distance between cluster head and gateway by a neighbor node discovery mechanism. Furthermore, a slave/master patching scheme is introduced as a useful means of further improving the energy-efficiency. It has been shown that the number of cluster heads can be reduced by as many as 21% as compared with the existing clustering algorithms.

Lately, spectrum sensing performance has been improved by using cooperate spectrum sensing which each results of sensing of several secondary users are reported to the fusion center. Using Cognitive Radio, secondary user is able to share a bandwidth allocated to primary user. In this paper, we propose a new decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing scheme which compensates the performance degradation of existing decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing considering the error probability of the channel which sensed result of the secondary user is delivered to the fusion center in decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing. In addition, a sensing threshold optimization of minimizing the error probability of decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing is introduced by deriving the equation and the optimal sensing threshold has been confirmed to maximize the decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing performance.

Various countries around the world are conducting various studies to apply information and communication technology to marine safety. Based on this, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has established the e-Navigation standard to apply the latest information and communication technology to marine services. In Korea, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is promoting Korean e-navigation considering domestic marine environment and is trying to apply LTE communication method as a high-speed wireless communication method at sea. In this paper, we describe the development of an LTE based marine router system supporting 700Mhz frequency band allocated for high speed maritime wireless communication service. Experiments on the possibility of 100km distance communication from base station using LTE based ship router are shown. LTE - based high - speed maritime wireless communication router system can provide communication infrastructure necessary to develop various accident prevention technologies that may occur at sea.
