With the advancement and proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), a wide range of location-based services are being offered, and various ranging methods are being researched to meet the objectives of the required services. Conventional ranging methods involve the direct exchange of signals between tags and anchors to estimate distance, presenting a limitation in efficiently utilizing communication resources in large-scale IoT environments. To overcome these limitations, active-passive ranging methods have been proposed. However, there is a lack of theoretical convergence guarantees against clock drift errors and a detailed analysis of the characteristics of ranging estimation techniques, making it challenging to derive precise positioning results. In this paper, an improved active-passive ranging method that accounts for clock drift errors is proposed for precise positioning in large-scale IoT environments. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed active-passive ranging method can enhance distance estimation performance by up to 94.4% and 14.4%, respectively, compared to the existing active-passive ranging methods.

Visible light communication, which transmits information using visible light, has advantages such as ultra-high speed, ultra-delay, and ultra-connectivity, so research is being conducted as a way to complement 6G communication. In this paper, a study was conducted to overcome the performance degradation caused by the RGB mixing ratio in visible light communication. In a visible light communication system using LED lighting, the role of lighting is an important function, and when used for communication, the performance difference according to the RGB mixing ratio inevitably occurs. In particular, if the intensity of light is below a certain standard, the problem of deteriorating the performance of the entire system occurs. In this study, when a certain performance or less occurs in the communication system caused by the difference in the mixing ratio among the three RGB channels, the remaining two signals except the LED with the best performance are transmitted to STBC (Space-Time Block Coding) to ensure the quality of communication. A computer simulation was performed to verify the performance of the proposed system, and it can be seen that the performance of the proposed system is improved compared to the existing system.

Underwater acoustic wave in shallow water is propagated through multipath that has a large delay spread causing Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and these characteristics deteriorate the performance in the communication system. In order to analyze the communication performance and investigate the correlation with multipath delay spread in a reverberant environment, an underwater acoustic communication experiment using Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) signals with symbol rates from 100 sym/s to 8000 sym/s was conducted in a 5 × 5 × 5 m³ water tank. The acoustic channels in a well-controlled tank environment had the characteristics of dense multipath delay spread due to multiple reflections from the interfaces and walls within the tank and showed the maximum excess delay of 40 ms or less, and the Root Mean Squared (RMS) delay spread of 8 ms or less. In this paper, the performances of Bit Error Rate (BER) and output Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) were analyzed using four types of communication demodulation techniques. And the parameter, Symbol interval to Delay spread Ratio in reverberant environment (SDR_rev), which is the ratio of symbol interval to RMS delay spread in the reverberant environment is defined. Finally, the SDR_rev was compared to the BER and the output SNR. The results present the reference symbol rate in which high communication performance can be guaranteed.

In this paper, research was conducted to solve the problem of reducing the dimming level and flicker that occurs in the visible light communication system. Visible light communication is a convergence technology that provides both communication and lighting, and must satisfy not only communication performance but also lighting performance. However, since the existing data transmission method transmits without considering the transmission data sequence, it reduces the dimming level and causes a flicker phenomenon. To solve this problem, in this paper, the Dimming Improvement and Flicker Reduction Mapping technique was studied. Existing systems simply transmitted data of '0' and '1', but in this system, original data transmission channels and DIFR (Dimming Improvement and Flicker Reduction) transmission channels are assigned to RGB channels. Original data is allocated to the R channel and original data or inverse original data is allocated to the DIFR-G channel, and the DIFR-B channel maintains the maximum dimming level by transmitting through the logical operation of the R channel and the G channel. At the same time, the flicker phenomenon is prevented by preventing continuous occurrence of 'OFF' patterns. Through this, we proposed an adaptive data allocation algorithm that can faithfully play a role as a light as well as a communication function.

The emitter geolocation method using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and the frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) has more accurate performance comparing to the single TDOA or FDOA based method. The estimation performance varies with the sensor paring strategies, the deployment and velocities of the sensors. Therefore, to establish effective strategy on the electronic warfare system, it is required to analyze the relation between the estimation accuracy and the operational condition of sensors. However, in the conventional non-iterative method, the restriction of the deployment of sensors and the reference sensor exists. Therefore, we derive the emitter geolocation method based on a Gauss-Newton method which is available to apply to any various sensor pairs and the deployment and velocities of the sensors. In addition, simulation results are included to compare the performance of geolocation method according to the used measurements: the combined TDOA/FDOA, TDOA, and FDOA. Also, we present that the combined TDOA/FDOA method outperforms over single TDOA or FDOA on the estimation accuracy with the CEP plane.

본 논문은 이동 통신 및 IEEE 802.lla WLAN에서 사용하고 있는 컨벌루셔널 부호의 복호기인 비터비 복호기의 SMU(Survivor Metric Unit)의 최적 메모리 제어에 관한 연구이다. 비터비 복호기기 구조는 크게 BMU, ACSU, SMU부로 구성된다. 이때 SMU부는 최적의 경로를 역추적 하여 최종 복호 데이터를 출력해 주는 블록으로, 역추적 길이에 따라 메모리 사용 양과 복호 성능이 좌우된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 최적 메모리 제어 알고리즘을 제안함으로써 복호 속도의 향상과 메모리 사용 양을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위해 기존의 비터비 복호기와 역추적 길이에 따른 비터비 복호기의 성능을 실험을 통해 분석함으로써 제안 방법의 객관적인 성능을 분석한다.

Motivated by the Communication Broadcasting Convergence service, various technical approaches are being used to develop more efficient antenna models. This paper proposes a compact mobile antenna which is attachable to a cell phone and is applicable for Communication Broadcasting Convergence. In the design of the antennas for mobile handsets, size reduction is a crucial factor. In this paper, the compactness of a loop antenna is realized by bending a folded-dipole. A short planar dipole is transformed to a twice folded dipole and a loop antenna to produce a larger input resistance. The current distribution of the antenna is the same as a loop antenna, and its radiation patterns are omni-directional. We also analyze the performance of the RFID antenna by exploring the current-induced near field radiation patterns using a electro-optic field mapping system.
