We propose an optimal number of transmit antennas which maximizes energy-efficiency (EE) in multi-user massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink system with the maximal ratio transmission (MRT) precoding. With full channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT), we find a closed form solution by partial differential function with proper approximations using average channel gain, independence of individual channels, and average path loss. With limited feedback, we get a solution numerically by the bisection with approximations in the same manner, and analyze an effect of feedback bits on the optimal number of transmit antennas. Simulation results show that the optimal numbers of transmit antenna getting from proposed closed form solution and exhaustive search are nearly same.

In this paper, we propose the channel estimation scheme for Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) downlink system. The proposed scheme uses the fast fourier transform (FFT) interpolation scheme for the user moving at a high speed. The FFT interpolation scheme converts the channel frequency response obtained from least square (LS) or minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation scheme to time domain channel impulse response by taking the inverse FFT (IFFT). After windowing the channel response in the time domain, we can obtain the channel frequency response by taking the FFT. We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-A downlink system. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation scheme can improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR), throughput, and spectral efficiency of conventional system.

In this paper, we consider a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) using multiple transmit antennas, where the transmit antenna selection scheme is used to reduce the system complexity. Thus, in this paper, we propose radio resource allocation and receiver selection schemes in order to improve the outage probability performance of the downlink NOMA system using the transmit antenna selection scheme. In particular, the receiver selection scheme is a method of grouping the receivers to improve the outage probability performance, and the radio resource allocation scheme is a method of allocating radio resources to each group in order to enhance the outage probability performance. In addition, through the computer simulation under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading channels, we show that the proposed radio resource allocation and receiver selection schemes can improve the outage probability performance at the expense of the sum rate performance.

This paper presents transmission parameters of DH(Dog-Horse) systems based on IEEE802.16e(WiBro) systems. DH requires higher uplink multimedia data rate, which is different from commercial WiBro systems. This paper designes some transmission parameters satisfying the DH system requirements and demonstrates link performance evaluation based on the parameters. For the transmission parameters, the number dwon/up link OFDM symbols are determined by 6/30, respectively. For reliable transmission of control signals, downlink modulation and coding rate are selected by QPSK, 1/2 coding rate and that of uplink is chosen by 16QAM 1/2 and 3/4 coding rate. Based on these parameters, computer simulations demonstrate the system performance of DH system.

We analyze the link availability of satellite-to-ground free-space optical (FSO) communication systems in South Korea. Using ten-year meteorological data for five major cities (Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Gwangju), we theoretically predict the link availability from the power losses induced by absorption, scattering, aerosols, and scintillation in the atmospheric channel. For accurate but conservative estimation of the link availability determined by cloud cover, we propose a loss model based on the maximum value of cloud droplet concentration. The results show that the link availability ranges from 45% to 70% when a single ground station is placed in a major city in South Korea and a 20-dB link budget is allocated for atmospheric loss. However, the availabilities improve to 90% and 97% when 3- and 5-site diversities are employed, respectively.

When best-effort traffic users are supported in a downlink small-cell network, conventional schemes assign the channels experiencing low co-channel interference at each base station and provide a better downlink performance to the user near its serving base station, so that conventional schemes are not suitable to fairly support all users. In this paper, we propose a decentralized frequency reuse scheme for a small-cell network, where each basestation chooses a set of channels to fairly support the best-effort traffic users regardless of the distances to their serving basestation. After performing the conventional scheme that each basestation selects the channels which are not used in its adjacent basestations, it updates assigned channels improving the performance of low throughput users in a fully distributed manner with mitigating the overall throughput performance loss. The computer simulation demonstrates that the average throughput performance of the 10th percentile throughput users is improved up to 15% in some case compared to that of the conventional scheme, while allowing the overall throughput loss around 3%.

정지궤도위성을 이용한 인터넷서비스는 위성과 지상간의 거리에 의한 전송지연으로 전송품질이 지상망에 비하여 상당히 떨어지는 것으로 인식되어 왔으며 위성단말기의 송신부분에 대한 가격이 높아 단말기에서 상향링크는 전화망을 이용하고 하향링크만을 위성으로 하는 단방향의 위성인터넷망으로 이용되어 왔다. 최근 양방향 인터넷서비스의 제공과 함께 위성인터넷의 상향링크도 위성링크를 사용함에 따라 위성신호의 전송지연에 대한 서비스품질에 대한 측정과 전송지연이 더 높아짐에 따라 서비스 품질의 품질저하에 대한 대책을 연구하였다. 이러한 방법으로 기존에 위성을 이용한 방법으로 전송하였을 경우 지연이 많이 생겨 서비스 품질이 향상되지 않아 본 연구에서는 스푸핑방법을 도입하여 측정한 결과 지연시간이 개선되었으나 기존의 지상망과의 속도와 비교하였을 때 많이 떨어지므로 이에 따른 개선방안으로 캐쉬서버를 사용하여 위성 전송속도를 측정한결과 지상망과 비교하여 거의 비슷한 전송지연 시간을 가지며 전송속도가 향상되는 결과를 가지는 것으로 연구되었다.
