We have been developed an intelligent mobile robot with an artificial olfactory function to recognize odours and to track odour source location. This mobile robot also has ben installed an engine for speech recognition and synthesis and is controlled by wireless communication. An artificial olfactory system based on array of 7 gas sensors has been installed in the mobile robot for odour recognition, and 11 gas sensors also are located in the obttom of robot to track odour sources. 3 optical sensors are also in cluded in the intelligent mobile robot, which is driven by 2 D. C. motors, for clash avoidance in a way of direction toward an odour source. Throughout the experimental trails, it is confirmed that the intelligent mobile robot is capable of not only the odour recognition using artificial neural network algorithm, but also the tracking odour source using the step-by-step approach method. The preliminary results are promising that intelligent mobile robot, which has been developed, is applicable to service robot system for environmental monitoring, localization of odour source, odour tracking of hazardous areas etc.

In this paper, we proposed reliability and capacity enhancement methods for IEEE 802.15.3 HDR-WPAN (High Data Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network) system which is currently getting an interest in home network technology adopting a MIMO technique. We also analyzed performance or the proposed system through a computer simulation. The HDR-WPAN system using V-BLAST algorithm, transmitting the different signal vector to each other's sub-channel, can get the transmission speed of more than 110Mbps using two Tx/Px antenna without bandwidth expansion in TCM-64QAM mode. Also the proposed system has reliability of 104 at $E_b/N_0=35dB$ under the Rayleigh fading channel in case of two Tx/Rx antenna with MMSE algorithm. The HDR-WPAN system adopting V-BLAST method has its drawback which is very complicated to determine the decision-ordering at the receiver. But, the proposed system enhances the transmission capacity and reliability without extra bandwidth expansion by sending data streams to multiple antennas.

In this paper, for the WiMedia Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB. performance degradation due to the Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) conflict problem caused by devices' mobility is analyzed. And a DRP relay protocol and a DRP conflict resolution (CR) are proposed to overcome the performance degradation at DRP conflicts. In order to give the loser device at DRP conflicts a chance to maintain resources, the proposed DRP relay protocol executed at each device helps the loser device reserve an indirect link maintaining the required resources via a relay node. Simulation results considering the mobile environment have indicated that the DRP relay combined with the CR prevent the throughput decrease even though mobility of devices increases.

The existing in-band interference reduction method recommends the physical separation distance between wireless devices and interference signals, and the interference can be suppressed through the separation distance. If the in-band interference signals can be reduced in a wireless device, a margin can be given to the physical separation distance. Since there is an effect of extending the receiver dynamic range of receivers, it is highly useful for interference reduction and improvement method. In this paper, the structure of an in-band analog IRM(Interference Reduction Module) is proposed and the design and implementation of the proposed analog IRM are described. To design an analog IRM, the interference reduction performance according to the delay mismatch, phase error and the number of delay lines that affect the performance of the analog IRM was simulated. The proposed analog IRM composed of 16 delay lines was implemented and the implemented IRM has the interference reduction performance of about 10dB for a 5G(NR-FR1-TM-1.1) signal having a 40MHz bandwidth at a center frequency of 3.32GHz. The analog IRM proposed in this paper can be used as an in-band interference canceller.

It is needed to use the beam scanning to control the cell coverage of the base station considering operation conditions, season, time period, radiation character and mobility of customers and vehicles for varied wireless communication service and quality improvement. This paper proposes a mobile antenna system which can obtain the characteristics of the beam scanning by controlling the directivity depending on the operation condition. Radiation block is made of 2 sub-array of $1\times3$ patched antennas for ITS of 5.8GHZ bandwidth with the gain of 13dBi, and of 2 sub-array of single patched antenna for WiBro of 2.3GHZ bandwidth with the gain of 12dBi. RF module is made of a switch, an amplifier, a PAD, a 3-Bit phase shifter, and a power divider. The system is able to control the beam tilting with electronic methode by using 3-bit phase shifter$(45^{\circ},\;90^{\circ},\;180^{\circ})$.

In spite of the notable advancements of millimeter wave communication technologies, the 60 GHz Wi-Fi is still not widespread yet, mainly due to the high limitation of coverage. Conventionally, it has been hardly possible to support a high data rate with fast beam adaptation while keeping atmospheric beamforming coverage. To solve these challenges in the 60 GHz communication system, holistic system designs are considered. we implemented an enhanced design LDPC decoder enabling 6.72 Gbps coded-throughput with minimal implementation loss, and our proposed phase-tracking algorithm guarantees 3.2 dB performance gain at 1 % PER in the case of 16 QAM modulation and LDPC code-rate 3/4.

This paper compared the output limit value of the Korean weak electric field strength wireless device in the 8.2MHz band with the standard values of foreign countries. Through this, the study confirmed that the Korean regulation was lower by about 10-20dB than those of the USA or Europe. In order to prove this, the study measured outputs by entrusting the 8.2MHz EAS system to two measuring companies. As a result of these measurements, electric field strengths were shown to be $70.6dB{\mu}V/m$ and $68.3dB{\mu}V/m$ respectively, and these values were confirmed to exceed the current Korean standard of $59.8dB{\mu}V/m$. Accordingly, it is deemed necessary to review the specifications of the Korean standard in the 8.2MHz band.

OFDM is a very attractive technique for achieving high-bit-rate data transmission and high spectrum efficiency. However one of disadvantages of OFDM signal is the high PAPR characteristic when multicarriers are added up coherently. In this paper, we propose an adaptive PTS scheme using two threshold levels for PAPR reduction and reducing the amount of PAPR calculations with clipping scheme. Simulation results show that it is almost same between average bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme and that of a conventional scheme. Also, we obtain a great performance gain in the amount of calculations compared to the conventional scheme. Therefore, proposed system has a good performance in data processing time in OFDM wireless communication systems.
