In this paper, we propose to transmit convolutionally coded DS waveforms over orthogonally overlapped subchannels. It is shown that the proposed system, the convolutionally coded orthogonal multicarrier DS/CDMA system, significantly outperforms the system using frequency diversity combining. It is also shown that the proposed system has better performance than the convolutionally coded almost non-overlapped multicarrier DS/CDMA system under the condition that the information rate and total available bandwidth are the same.

Acoustic signal, which is a main carrier of underwater communication, attenuates along the traveled path heavily depending on the frequency as well as inter-node distance. In addition, since it has a long propagation delay, the conventional medium access control (MAC) schemes requiring complex signaling procedures and accordingly heavy overhead messages would not be appropriate in underwater communications. In this paper, we propose a code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme as a solution for MAC of underwater communication and evaluate the performance. A hierarchical data-gathering tree topology is considered and a staggered wake-up pattern is employed for the purpose of energy saving. As a performance measure, the data rate at each level of hierarchical topology is derived.

In this paper, I designed the satellite system, using the MF-TDMA (Multi Frequency-Time Division Multiple Access) DAMA (Demand-Assigned Multiple Access) method, that allocates the satellite resources more effectively to prevent a large quantity data discard when Earth Terminals (ETs) request their satellite network resource to Network Controller (NC) by using their history information, such as traffic pattern or traffic class which have been receiving, and the network controller allocates the satellite network resource and send to earth terminals by using his history information that earth terminals have been requested already. The U.S. Military Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) community has selected the L-3 Linkabit MF-TDMA DAMA Network Centric Waveform (NCW) as the networking standard for full-mesh IP over SHF satellite communications. In the MF-TDMA DAMA satellite network, network controller allocates the satellite network resources and enables maximum 255 earth terminals to communicate each other for periodic satellite network resource requests of earth terminals.

In this paper, we proposed a complex multirate filter bank(CMRFB) based adaptive notch filtering technique to solve the co-existence narrowband interference problem of DS-CDMA and TDMA systems. We have discussed error performance of co-existence of DS-CDMA and TDMA system by using complex multirate filter bank in land mobile channel and computer simulation results show that the proposed scheme can eliminate the narrowband interference(TDMA signals) effectively.

최근 센서 네트워크에 대한 필요성이 증대되면서 센서 기술과 통신 기술 등 센서 네트워크의 기반기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히, 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 수명은 센서의 배터리 전력량에 비례하므로 보다 적은 전력으로 통신을 수행하는 기술들에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이러한 저전력 통신 프로토콜 가운데 대표적인 것이 시간 분할 다중 접속(TDMA) 기반 MAC 프로토콜이다. 지정된 시간에만 센서 노드의 통신 상태를 정지(sleep)상태에서 유휴(idle)상태로 변경하여 통신을 수행하므로 전력 소비를 최소화시키는 기술이다. 그러나 이웃한 다른 센서들 간의 통신을 간섭하지 않기 위해 센서들은 통신시 서로 다른 주파수를 사용해야 한다. 이러한 제한 사항을 충족시키기 위해서는 센서 노드들이 다양한 주파수를 청취할 수 있어야 하며. 이는 센서 노드 생산시 제조단가의 증가와 직결되어 센서 네트워크의 상용화에 주요한 문제가 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시간 분할접속(TDMA) 기반 저전력 MAC 프로토콜에서 단일 주파수를 사용한 수 있도록 통신 시간(time slot)을 할당하는 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper presents a new adaptive relay selection scheme for a regenerative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access(OFDMA) relay network with fairness constrains. In the Proposed scheme, we select the best M relays out of a set of K potential relays to maximize system capacity. Among these selected relays, subcarriers are reallocated to satisfy fairness constraints as well as to minimize the degradation of the system performance. Afterwards, power allocation is performed for each subcarrier based on the water-filling method to enhance the performance improvement. By using the trade-off relationship between the system capacity and the fairness, the modified version of proposed scheme is also investigated.

In this paper, an optimal determination method of the subband-frame size and mode-switching level is proposed for adaptive OFDM-TDD systems in frequency-selective time-varying channels. The optimization problem considering frequency selectivity. user's mobility, and the signaling overhead caused by the mode change information is formulated in the maximum spectral efficiency sense satisfying the target BER. Assuming that subband-frame size is given, the mode-switching level is first optimized so that the spectral efficiency can be maximized satisfying the target BER. The subband-frame size among candidates is then determined, which maximizes the spectral efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes, in terms of the spectral efficiency and the BER.

In this paper, we analyze the spectral efficiency of multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) scheme. First, we derive a generalized formula for the spectral efficiency according to the number of subcarriers involved in, code division multiplexing and the number of codes used (i.e., loading factor), under a given set of channel coefficients. Also, we derive a generalized formula for spectral efficiency of various reduced-complexity systems that divide the full sets of subcarriers into several groups of subcarriers for code division multiplexing. Then, through these derivations, we establish an inter-relationship between the frequency selectivity and diversity order according to the number of multipaths. From the results, we choose the smallest code length while maximizing the diversity effect, provide an optimum subcarrier allocation strategy, and finally suggest a system structure for capacity-maximizing under the smallest code length. Through numerical analyses under simulated environments, we analyze the properties of spectral efficiency of various systems with reduced complexity and choose a major contributing factors to system design and a better system design methodology. Finally, we compare the spectral efficiency of the MC-CDMA scheme and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme to make a relationship between both schemes.
