본 논문에서는 무선통신로 채널상에 존재하는 가우스 잡음을 포함한 협대역 A급 임펄스 잡음과 나카가미 페이딩 환경에서 하이브리드 DS/FH-CDMA MFSK 시스템의 성능을 비교 분석하고, 성능 개선 기법으로 MRC 다이버시티 수신 기법과 부호화 기법을 동시에 채용함으로써 고려되어진 시스템의 성능을 개선시켰다. 결과에 의하면 임펄스 지수가 강할수록 또한, 페이딩 지수가 작을수록 하이브리드 DS/FH-CDMA 시스템에서는 성능이 더욱 열화됨을 알 수 있었고, 성능 개선 기법으로 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용했을 경우 페이딩 지수가 증가할수록 성능개선의 폭이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 페이딩 지수가 작은 열악한 환경에서는 MRC 다이버시티 수신 기법을 채용하였을 경우 시스템 성능이 우수하였지만, 페이딩 영향이 감소할수록 BCH 부호화 기법을 채용하였을 경우 시스템 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 레일리 페이딩 환경에서 각각의 성능개선 기법을 단독으로 채용하였을 경우, 음성서비스 품질($10^{-3}$)에 도달할 수 없지만, BCH 부호화 기법과 MRC 다이버시티를 동시에 채용함으로써 강한 임펄스 잡음 하에서도 24dB 이상에서 음성서비스 기준 오율을 만족하는 성능 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었고, 페이딩 지수가( $m_{i}$=3) 이상에서는 강한 임펄스 잡음이 부가되어도 21dB에서 $10^{-3}$을 만족하고 28dB 이상에서는 데이터 서비스 기준($10^{-5}$) 오율을 만족하는 우수한 성능 개선 효과를 보임으로써 다이버시티 가지수와 부호화의 이득에 의한 에러 성능이 향상되었다.

In this paper, a soft-decision method for initial PN code acquisition in pilot-channel aided Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems is proposed in order to improve the acquisition performance. We apply this technique to the conventional hybrid search algorithm and analyze it in terms of mean code acquisition time. For the analysis, we present mathematical model of proposed algorithm and also perform the simulation under IMT-2000 channel models. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the conventional one by 0.2 - 0.4 sec with respect to the mean code acquisition time because the soft decision technique can mitigate the possible decline in search performance caused by the use of a hard-decision technique.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme for wireless channels, which is a combination of a type I hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) scheme and a power ramping. The power ramping is considered for more reliable downlink data transmission, in which the transmission power is gradually changed from a small level to a large level when the number of retransmissions increases. The simulation results demonstrate that, when the power ramping step size is 0.5dB, the average throughput gain may be as high as 2% to 5% with properly selected parameters.

Researchers have recently begun to study hot stamping processes to shorten the mold cooling time and improve productivity. These publications explain that the mold cooling time can be reduced by using a curved cooling channel, where the mold surface is processed to a uniform depth, instead of a straight cooling channel that uses the conventional gun drilling machine. This study investigates the characteristics of the front pillar of an automobile after using a mold with a curved cooling channel. To analyze the change in properties, we used a 1.6 mm boron steel blank and heated the prototype at $930^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes. Next, we formed the prototype with a load of about 500 tons while varying the mold cooling time between 1 and 10 seconds. We subjected each prototype specimen to a tensile strength test, a hardness test, and a tissue surface observation.

In multi-hop wireless network, multi-channel makes it possible to enhance network performance because it reduces channel interferences md contentions. Recently several schemes have been proposed in the literatures to use multi-channel. Especially, MCR(Multi channel routing protocol), which utilize hybrid interface assignment, is a prominent routing protocol. MCR uses simple way to change channel but efficiently reduce channel interferences. In this paper, we propose a load-aware channel selection algorithm called LCS that enhances the channel switching algerian used in MCR protocol. In LCS, channel of a node is assigned based on collected information about queue length of neighbors. Moreover this paper evaluates the performance of in by using simulation test and testbed demonstration. Test results show that the MCR with LCS outperforms the naive MCR.

In this paper, a multi-channel active noise control(ANC) system using subband hybrid control techniques is proposed. Subband techniques could reduce computational burden and improve the performance of ANC systems by dividing several frequency subband and adjusting adaptive filter coefficients. So it can effectively cancel noises at wanted frequency range and use lower order adaptive filter than the existing algorithms. The adjoint LMS algorithm, which prefilter the error signals instead of the divided reference signals in frequency band, is also used for adaptive filter algorithms to reduce the computational burden of the subband adaptive systems. To improve performance of the ANC system, a weighted hybrid control technique, which has weightily properties of feedforward control systems and feedback control systems, is applied. This algorithm shows higher stability and good noise attenuation property in broad band ANC systems. Computer simulations were performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a real-time respiration and heartbeat detector comprised of a 1.6 GHz single-channel Doppler sensor and analog/digital signal processing block for remote vital sign detection. The RF front end of the Doppler sensor consists of an oscillator, mixer, low noise amplifier, branch-line hybrid and patch antenna. We apply artificial transmission lines(ATLs) to the branch-line hybrid, which leads to a size reduction of 40 % in the hybrid, while its performance is very comparable to that of a conventional hybrid. The analog signal conditioning block is implemented using second order Sallen-Key active filters and the digital signal processing block is realized with a LabVIEW program on a computer. The respiration and heartbeat detection is demonstrated at a distance of 50 cm using the developed system.

In this paper, we compared and analyzed the influence of the fading index and the number of branch of diversity in the Nakagami-m fading channel environment when the MRC diversity and the hybrid SC/MRC are applied to the DS/CDMA system. We considered that the number of branches were 2,3, and 4, respectively and applied an individual diversity type according to the number of branches, when nakagami fading index(m) were 1 and 2. We found that when the Nakagami fading index m is small, that is to say, when fading is inferior, the application of a hybrid SC/MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient; however, when the fading environment is good, the application of the MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient. As a result, we verified that when the actual communication environment is inferior, the hybrid SC/MRC diversity that selects a strong signal to be received on an individual number of branches could replace the MRC diversity, as a method to achieve a similar performance by reducing the complexity of the system.

In this paper, the performance of packet radio networks using the ALOHA protocol in Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed in terms of the capture probability and the throughput. We consider capture effect in order to increase the probability of the channel access and to include cellular environment we assume that the traffic is a truncated bell-shaped distribution. The packet proposed in this paper consists of a competition part and a data part to decrease the probability of collision in the channel access. In the competition part, DS system with common spreading code is used and in the data, hybrid DS/FH system is used. We consider the linear correlation receiver and the hard-limiting correlation receiver as the receiver model. BPSK modulation is also employed. Because hybrid DS/FH systems are not sensitive to variation of the interference power, as we choose a proper chip number N and a frequency hopping number q, we can obtain a steady system performance even though the variation of interference power is severe fading channels such as Rayleigh fading.

Cooperative diversity is a promising technique for range extension and diversity increase without the use of multiple transmit antennas at the user equipment. In this paper, we propose a cooperative hybrid automatic repeat request relay method with adaptive retransmission to increase the throughput when the SNR of a source user is low. In the proposed method, the source user transmits the first segment of a codeword to relay users and a base station. If the base station fails to recover the information from the received packet, it requests the source or some relay users to retransmit the packet previously sent. In addition, the retransmission type of a selected user is chosen from repetition or incremental redundancy according to the quality of systematic bits in a turbo codeword. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the throughput compared to conventional methods, and the improvement is significant when the source user has a low SNR.
