본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분한 다중 접속 (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, OFDM) 시스템에서 matching pursuit (MP) 알고리듬을 이용하는 이동 채널 추정 법을 제안한다. 기존의 OFDM 시스템에서 채널추정 알고리즘으로 쓰이는 zero-forcing (ZF) 알고리듬은 잡음의 영향으로 채널 추정 오류의 가능성을 가지고 있다. 제안한 알고리듬에서는 MP 알고리듬을 이용하여 스파스(sparse)형태의 채널을 추정함으로써 다중경로가 없다고 가정되는 시간영역의 채널구간에서 발생될 수 있는 잡음에 의한 영향을 줄인다. 또한 연속적으로 전송되는 파일럿 정보를 이용하여 실시간으로 채널의 변화를 추정한다. 제안한 알고리듬으로 채널을 추정하고 등화를 했을 경우 ZF 알고리듬보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 실험에서 확인한다.

This paper is about the implementation of the OFDM-based border guard/reconnaissance communication terminal systems. We have implemented Real-time Dynamic DL/UL symbol rate control function using the DL-MAP message, and proposed error detection method caused by malfunctioning and timing optimization method. The proposed scheme detects the variable rate symbol decoding timing without increasing additional physical layer logic, and also provides a wide variety of DL/UL data transfer rate. Furthermore, the proposed scheme applies to the current border guard/reconnaissance equipment and confirms a operation performance through field tests and demonstration at home and abroad.

In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficient MAC protocol which is based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and exploits the physical characteristic that propagation loss of acoustic wave depends on the distance. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are grouped according to the distance to sink node. Then, each group uses a different frequency band. The proposed scheme not only enables all sensor nodes to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio above a certain required level (Accepted Minimum SNR, AMS), but also reduces overall transmission power consumption. In addition, the dynamic sub-channel allocation is employed in order to improve data transmission rate. Simulations show that proposed MAC protocol has better performance in a delay-tolerant underwater acoustic sensor networks.

In this paper, we propose a collision avoidance scheduling to increase the multiuser diversity gains in the adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The scheduling policy is based on the minimum collision criterion which investigates the differences of user channels. The paper includes the derivation of capacity expressions for the adaptive OFDMA system with the proposed scheduling. The analysis shows that the capacity of the system depends on the number of collisions between the selected users to be simultaneously served. Numerical results show that the proposed scheduling provides improved capacity performance over existing ones.

In this paper, the timing estimator based on the principle of the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is proposed in OFDMA uplink systems. The proposed timing estimator exploits the phase information of the differential correlation between adjacent subcarriers. The differential correlation can extract the information about timing offset and mitigate the distortion of the signal caused by the frequency selectivity of channel. Compared with conventional methods, the proposed estimator shows more accurate capability in estimation. In addition, the estimator is hardly affected by the distortion caused by the frequency selectivity of channel. Simulation results confirm that the proposed estimator shows a small error mean and a relatively small error variance. In addition, the performance of the estimator is evaluated by means of SNR loss. It is shown by simulations that the SNR loss of the proposed estimator by estimation errors is less than 0.4 dB for the SNR values between 0 and 20 dB. This might indicate that the proposed estimator is suitable for the timing synchronization of multiple users in OFDMA uplink systems.

A subcarrier allocation scheme for base station (BS), relay station (RS) and mobile station (MS) can affect the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) relay systems. In this paper, we propose a subcarrier allocation scheme with inter-cell interference and network coding in OFDMA relay systems. In the network coding zone, we consider an environment where RS can transmit a frame to BS and MS simultaneously. We divide an OFDMA frame into downlink zone, uplink zone, and network coding zone. The proposed scheme allocates subcarriers to BS, RS, and MS for each zone with consideration of inter-cell interference in OFDMA relay systems. We evaluate the performance of the proposed subcarrier allocation scheme through simulation.

The focus of this paper is a proposal for a computationally efficient dynamic subcarrier allocation (DSA) algorithm for orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. The proposed DSA algorithm considerably reduces the computational complexity and the amount of channel quality information (CQI) compared to amplitude craving greedy (ACG) algorithms, which use full CQI. At the same time, the performance of the proposed algorithm closely appear to ACG algorithms. Moreover, the authors present a new bandwidth-assignment algorithm produced by modifying bandwidth assignment based on the signal-to-noise ratio (BABS). This modified BABS algorithm enables the proposed DSA algorithm to produce a strong outage performance gain over the conventional scheme.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance of cyclostationary signal detection scheme for LTE system. We applied the cyclostationary signal detection scheme to the cognitive radio(CR) technology, which improves the usage efficiency of spectrums and shares frequencies, and we detected the signal in the long term evolution(LTE) band. LTE system has been designated as the standard to improve the maximum data rate and provide the low latency in the 3rd generation partnership project(3GPP). In this paper, we generated the LTE signals based on the orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) and analyzed the performance of signal detection in accordance with the segment and threshold of the generated signals. Gaussian channel was used in the simulation and we discussed the future studies to apply the CR to the LTE system.

In this paper, we present a new method for user selection, sub-band allocation, and power allocation in order to maximize the system throughput under the constraint of transmit power in multiuser downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems with partial channel quality information (CQI). In previous schemes, each user in one cell transmits CQI of all sub-bands to the base station, which requires enormous feedback overhead. Therefore, we proposed an efficient power allocation and modulation and coding selection scheme in which each user transmits partial CQI and one additional information to reduce the amount of feedback. Simulation results show that we can greatly reduce the amount of feedback than full feedback system.

High-capacity video, control and situation awareness data should be transmitted efficiently to control robots properly in the ground unmanned system, which requires the technology maximizing the communication range and the data transmission throughput. This technology is connected to the OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)-MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) transmission technology under the limited bandwidth and transmission power. In this paper, we design MIMO communication system for ground unmanned systems, and investigate the data reception performance experimentally, comparing with SISO(Single Input Single Output) system. Experiment results show that the data reception performance of MIMO is significantly improved compared to that of SISO, e.g. 4dB gain of sensitivity and 5dB of SNR at the value MPR = 1, for the mobile stations with $2{\times}2$ STBC diversity.
