In bluetooth system, there are two kinds of interference. One is the frequency static interference, for example 802.11 direct sequence, the interferer uses fixed frequency band. Another is frequency dynamic interference, for example other piconets or 802.11 frequency hopping, the interferer uses dynamic frequency channel and cant be estimated. In this paper we introduce a novel solution of hybrid method of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) and Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to address the coexistence of bluetooth and Direct Sequence of wireless local area network (WLAN). Before any bluetooth packet transmission, in the turn around time of the current slot, both the sender and receiver sense the channel whether there is any transmission going on or not. If the channel is busy, packet transmission is withdrawn until another chance. This is the LBT in Bluetooth. Because of asymmetry sense ability of WLAN and bluetooth, AFH is introduced to combat the left front-edge packet collisions. In monitor period of AFH, LBT is performed to label the channels with static interference. Then, all the labeled noisy channels are not used in the followed bluetooth frequency hopping. In this way, both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference are effectively mitigated. We evaluate the solution through packet collision analysis and a detail realistic simulation with IP traffic. It turns out that the hybrid method can combat both the frequency dynamic and frequency static interference. The packet collision analysis shows it almost doubles the maximal system aggregate throughput. The realistic simulation shows it has the least packet loss.

전력선 통신은 새로운 통신전용 선로나 별도의 추가 시설 없이, 기존의 전력 공급용 전력선로를 통신선로로 병용할 수 있다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 하지만 이러한 전력선 통신은 다양한 부하의 운전과 빈번한 부하의 기동 정지로 인하여 잡음이 발생하며 이에 본 연구에서는 전력선 채널의 협대역 잡음에 대처하는 변조방식을 제시함과 동시에 최근 들어 고용량 데이터 전송이 빈번한 홈 네트워크분야에 응용될 수 있는 고속 전력선 통신 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 전력선 통신의 변조기법은 현재 무선 LAN에서 보편화된 변조방식으로 적용되고 있는 IEEE 802.11b의 CCK(Complementary Code Keying) 변조 방식이다. 채널 모델링은 댁내 전력선망을 기준으로 $10kHz{\sim}30MHz$ 대역에서의 전력선로 및 가정용 부하 특성에 기초한 모델링을 하였고 전력 계통 과도해석 소프트웨어인 PSCAD로 채널 모델을 구성하여 홈네트워크 환경에서의 전력선 통신의 신호 특성을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we are going to analyze on relation of an output spectrum along phase distortion of power amplifier in wireless LAN system, and then considered an ACPR characteristic of power amplifier and consideration of an OFDM method for this. Also, we did implementation for OFDM modulation and transmission section of an IEEE 802.11a standard to have transmission speed of the maximum 54Mbps in order to know an OFDM modulation method and relation of non-linear characteristic of power amplifier. The non-linear characteristic of power amplifier did modeling with AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM, and we analyzed an output spectrum characteristic along phase distortion composed input signal supply for power amplifier. When output spectrum analysis results phase distortion increased, and an AM-to-PM characteristic of power amplifier in 5 degrees, the output spectrum was satisfied with a demand spectrum in P1 dB, but 10-20 degrees were able to confirm what cannot be satisfied with a demand spectrum in phase distortion. Also, an output spectrum of power amplifier by frequency re-growth generated by a non-linear characteristic of power amplifier did not satisfied in P1dE. therefore, a back-off value was requested according to an AM-to-PM distortion degree, and smaller back-off value were able to know what demand became in case of modulation section that used OFDM.

An operating information and fault recode of train is very important information for safety driving and maintenance. And these information is increased and need high speed as the number of trains is increased. Wireless LAN or CDMA network is efficient to report more complicated and various information from vehicle to server in control center. Existing wireless transmission system has weakness due to transmission system is separated with TDCS and standalone. At first, standalone system needs space to be installed and cost is increased. And data transmission capacity and speed is limited by complicated structure that transmission system receive data thru serial communication like RS232 and then data transmission system send data to server in control center. This article is study to develop embedded & wireless fault code transmission device to be installed in TDCS to overcome weakness of space and to have more cost effective and simple structure. It is adapted 802.11b/g WiFi for wireless communication and OS is used embedded Linux that can easily implement wireless communication environment and ensure TCP/IP communication’s security. We also implement simple server to test wireless communication between embedded & wireless fault code transmission device and server in control center.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) interface is one of the major sources drastically depleting the battery power of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Most commercial mobile devices employ a power saving technique putting their WLAN interface into a sleep state when there is no network traffic, and thereby, save the battery power. However, since an access point (AP) just transmits the packet(s) received from a server to the corresponding mobile device immediately, it may cause a problem that the mobile device constantly remains in an awake state so that its battery power is rapidly drained. In this paper, we point out this problem and propose a new scheme that can save the mobile device's battery power with an adaptive packet scheduling at the AP side. From the experimental results based on a testbed, we found that the proposed scheme outperforms existing schemes over 50% in terms of power saving.

In this paper, N-shaped slot antenna for $5.15GHz{\sim}5.35GHz$ is designed, fabricated, and measured. The prototype consist of meander corrugated N-shaped slot. To obtain suitable bandwidth, the form layer is inserted between ground plane and substrate. Important parameters in the design are N-slot length, width, position, air-gap height, and feed point position. From these parameters optimized, a four N-shaped slot antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results of the antenna are obtained as follows results.

A low-power 64-point FFT/IFFT processor core is designed, which is an essential block in OFDM-based wireless LAM modems. The radix-2/418 DIF (Decimation-ln-Frequency) FFT algorithm is implemented using R2SDF (Radix-2 Single-path Delay Feedback) structure. Some design techniques for low-power implementation are considered from algorithm level to circuit level. Based on the analysis on infernal data flow, some unnecessary switching activities have been eliminated to minimize power dissipation. In circuit level, constant multipliers and complex-number multiplier in data-path are designed using truncation structure to reduce gate counts and power dissipation. The 64-point FFT/IFFT core designed in Verilog-HDL has about 28,100 gates, and timing simulation results using gate-level netlist with extracted SDF data show that it can safely operate up to 50-MHz＠2.5-V, resulting that a 64-point FFT/IFFT can be computed every 1.3-${\mu}\textrm{s}$. The functionality of the core was fully verified by FPGA implementation using various test vectors. The average SQNR of over 50-dB is achieved, and the average power consumption is about 69.3-mW with 50-MHz＠2.5-V.
