In distributed cognitive radio networks, cognitive radio devices which perform the channel sensing individually, are seriously affected by radio channel environments such as noise, shadowing and fading such that they can not property satisfy the maximum allowable interference level to the primary user. In the paper, we propose a Q-learning based channel access scheme for cognitive radios so as to satisfy the maximum allowable interference level to the primary user as well as to improve the throughput of cognitive radio by opportunistically accessing on the idle channels. In the proposed scheme, the pattern of channel usage of the primary user will be learned through Q-learning during the pre-play learning step, and then the learned channel usage pattern will be utilized for improving the sensing performance during the Q-learning normal operation step. Through the simulation, it is shown that the proposed scheme can provide bettor performance than the conventional energy detector in terms of the interference level to primary user and the throughput of cognitive radio under both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels.

The pilot assisted channel frequency response (CFR) estimation schemes for an OFDM-based system with virtual subcarriers are analyzed under the assumption that pilot symbols are located according to a comb-type pattern in the OFDM block. In particular, as the minimum mean square error (MMSE) based scheme aiming to directly predict the channel impulse response and the MMSE based scheme aiming to suppress the leakage have not been clearly compared, by proving that the mean square errors (MSEs) of the latter scheme is always larger than that of the former scheme, this paper shows that the former scheme is superior to the latter scheme. Moreover, the impact of the number of pilots on the performances of the MMSE and least-square based channel estimation schemes are investigated. The performance analyses of the presented schemes are confirmed by computer simulation.

In VANET(Vheicle Ad hoc Network), the researches based on the wireless LAN are conducting and the method based on 802.11a is being adapted in IEEE 802.11p WAVE(Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments). However, wireless LAN which uses a single channel in a competition can cause transmission delays because of a frequent collision and a use of CSMA/CA to avoid competition in VANET requiring a fast access. In this paper, we designed CMMP (Clustering based Multi-channel MAC protocol) adequate to VANET and then confirmed the appropriate channel conditions in a V2V communication on the basis of this protocol. The simulation results showed that a packet collision and a transmission delay by the use of an existing single channel based on the contention decreased more than 60% by CMMP.

본 논문에서 우리는 정규화 된 혼합 노름(norm)을 이용한 다중 채널 영상 복원 알고리즘을 제안한다. 채널 내부와 채널 사이의 결정론적 정보를 이용하는 다중채널 복원 문제를 고려한다. 각 채널에서, LMS(Least Mean Square), LMF(Least Mean Fourth), 평탄 함수가 결합된 함수가 제안되었다. LMS와 LMF 사이의 적절한 분배를 제어하는 혼합 노를 매개변수와 해의 평탄 정도를 정의하는 정규화 매개 변수를 소개하며, 두 매개 변수는 각 채널의 잡음 특성에 따라 매번 반복적으로 갱신된다. 제안된 알고리즘은 각 채널의 잡음분포에 대한 지식이 필요하지 앉고 앞에서 언급된 매개 변수는 부분적으로 복원된 영상에 기반을 두고 조절하게 된다.

General RFID system has assumed that the communication channel between reader and back-end database is secure channel. However, the reader can be communicated with the database through insecure channel like the communication channel between the reader and the tag according to application environment. In this paper, we propose a new secure RFID mutual authentication protocol based on open network channel which assumed that all communication channels between the database, the reader and the tag are insecure communication channels. The proposed protocol uses a secure one-way hash function to provide authentication and integrity against all communication messages which exchanged on the open channels. In addition, we designed that the proposed protocol can provide forward secrecy by performing the database and the tag update their old secret key with a new secret key after finished mutual authentication.

WMN is one of efficient solutions to provide Internet services for users by forming wireless backbone networks with wireless links. The dominant technology for WMNs is the IEEE 802.11, which provides multi-channel and multi-rate capabilities. One of important issues in WMNs is the network capacity and it is essential to design a multi-channel protocol that leverages the network capacity. However, when wireless links that use different data rates operate on the common channel, the performance of high-rate links is severely degraded by the presence of the low-rate links, which is often referred as performance anomaly. In this paper, we propose a Tree-based Channel Assignment (TreeCA) protocol to mitigate the performance anomaly problem by distributing data rates over multiple channels. TreeCA performs channel assignments based on the tree WMN architecture to accommodate the Internet traffics efficiently. Parent nodes on the tree distribute their child nodes over multiple channels so that the performance anomaly is reduced. Through simulations, we observed that the proposed TreeCA outperforms the existing multi-channel protocols for WMNs.

MIMO-OFDM which is one of core techniques for the high-speed mobile communication system requires the efficient channel estimation method with low estimation error and computational complexity, for accurately receiving data. In this paper, we propose a channel estimation algorithm with low channel estimation error comparing with LS which is primarily employed to the MIMO-OFDM system, and with low computational complexity comparing with MMSE. The proposed algorithm estimates channel vectors based on the LMS adaptive algorithm in the time domain, and the estimated channel vector is sent to the detector after FFT. We also suggest a preamble architecture for the proposed MIMO-OFDM channel estimation algorithm. The computer simulation example is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 T-DMB 수신기의 채널추정 성능향상을 위한 잡음감소 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 T-DMB 수신기에서의 채널추정은 파일럿 신호 추출과 채널계수 추정에 의해 수행된다. 채널추정의 성능은 수신 SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)과 연관되어 추정된 채널계수에 남아있는 잡음성분에 의해 결정되기 때문에, 잔존하는 잡음성분을 감소시키는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이러한 잡음성분을 감소시키기 위해, M-point 가중이동평균(weighted moving average)을 기반으로 한 잡음제거 기법을 제안한다. 전산 실험에 의하면, 제안된 방법은 등화 후 SER (Symbol Error Rate) 측면에서 기존의 방법에 비해 2-3 dB의 성능 향상을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 해상 통신망으로서 쓰이는 HF 채널 대역을 이용하여 HF 채널을 기반으로 릴레이 방식을 연구하였다. 위성통신을 이용하는 데이터 통신은 비싼 통신료로 인하여 해상통신(Maritime Communication)에서 대형선박에서는 사용이 가능하지만 중소형선박이나 여가용 선박에서 사용하기가 힘들기 때문에 저렴한 데이터 통신을 이용할 수 있는 기존의 해상 통신과 HF채널 대역을 사용하는 통신을 분석하여, HF 채널 대역에서의 릴레이의 적용 가능성에 대하여 분석하고 조사하여, 그에 따른 BER 성능을 HF 채널 대역 상에서 분석하여 제시하였다.
