As required performance of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) becomes more complex and complicated, required positioning accuracy is becoming more and more higher. GPS is a reliable world wide positioning providing system. Therefore, UAV generally acquires position information from GPS. But when GPS is not available such as too weak signal or too less GPS satellites environments, UAV needs alternative positioning system such as network positioning system. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) based positioning, which is one method of network positioning technologies, determines its position using RSSI measurements containing distance information from AP (Access Point)s. In that method, a selected AP's configuration has strong and tight relationship with its positioning errors. In this paper, for, we additionally account AP's configuration information by adopting DOP (Dilution of Precision) into AP selection procedures and provide more accurate RSSI based positioning results.

본 논문에서는 무선랜 기술을 활용한 초고속 무선인터넷 서비스에서 사용자 단말의 최대 성능을 얻기 위해 효과적으로 AP를 선택하고 연결을 설정하는 방식에 관한 것이다. IEEE 802.11에 기반한 공중 무선랜 환경에서 AP의 탐색과정을 수동형과 능동형으로 분류하고, 본 논문에서는 수동형 AP탐색 과정은 무선랜 접속장치(AP:Access Points) MAC계층에서 단말에 미디어 접근정보를 방송으로 알려주는 비콘(Beacon)프레임을 이용하고, 능동형 AP 탐색과정에서는 AP의 조사응답(Probe Response) 메시지 프레임을 이용하여 무선랜 단말에게 현재 AP에 연결(association)되어 있는 단말 갯수와 처리중인 트래픽량을 알려주는 방식을 제안한다. 단말에서는 RSSI, AP에 연결된 단말의 갯수와 처리하는 트래픽량의 정보를 종합적으로 검토하여 효율면에서 가장 유리한 AP를 선택하여 연결을 설정하면 다수의 사용자가 동시에 사용하는 핫스팟 환경에서도 최대성능을 얻을 수 있으며, 사업자입장에서는 사용자의 분산으로 자원과 망관리 효율면에서 상당한 효과가 있다.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

스마트 폰이나 아이패드와 같은 무선기기의 발달은 IEEE 802.11 그룹의 무선 네트워크 사용을 한층 더 확장시키고 있다. 이로 인해 Wi-Fi와 같은 무선 네트워크를 사용하려는 사용자 또한 급속하게 증가되고 이를 수용하기 위해서는 하나의 AP 처리 영역에 적어도 2개 이상의 AP가 요구되어진다. 이러한 환경에서 무선 네트워크의 효과적인 활용과 사용자에게 지원되는 서비스를 극대화하기 위해 적절한 AP를 선택하는 것은 매우 중요한 논점 중에 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 신호의 세기와 더불어 각 AP에서 처리하는 트래픽 양을 고려하여 무선 네트워크의 활용을 최적화하는 AP 선택 기법을 제안한다. 사용자의 이동이 빈번한 무선 네트워크의 특성상 특정 AP를 중심으로 트래픽 불균형 상태가 언제나 발생할 수 있기 때문에 신호의 품질만을 선택 기준으로 적용하는 방식은 네트워크 활용에 제한적이다. 제안된 AP 선택 기법은 신호의 품질과 더불어 각 AP에서 처리량을 고려하여 새로운 스테이션에 대한 결합을 결정하기 때문에 가장 좋은 신호를 가진 AP에 발생할 수 있는 혼잡현상을 미연에 방지하며 균형 있는 트래픽 부하 처리로 효율적으로 네트워크를 활용한다. 제안한 방식의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 OPNET 모델러를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 성능 평가 척도로는 전송 효율과 전송 지연을 사용하였고 제안한 방식을 기존의 방식과 비교 하였다. 실험결과, 제안한 방식이 기존의 방식에 비하여 전송 지연과 전송 효율 측면에서 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

To improve the cooperative efficiency of node cooperation and multiple access performance for multihop wireless networks, a priority-differentiated cooperative medium access control protocol with contention resolution (CRP-CMAC) is proposed. In the protocol, the helper selection process is divided into the priority differentiation phase and the contention resolution phase for the helpers with the same priority. A higher priority helper can choose an earlier minislot in the priority differentiation phase to send a busy tone. As a result, the protocol promptly selects all the highest priority helpers. The contention resolution phase of the same priority helpers consists of k round contention resolution procedures. The helpers that had sent the first busy tone and are now sending the longest busy tone can continue to the next round, and then the other helpers that sense the busy tone withdraw from the contention. Therefore, it can select the unique best helper from the highest priority helpers with high probability. A packet piggyback mechanism is also adopted to make the high data rate helper with packet to send transmit its data packets to its recipient without reservation. It can significantly decrease the reservation overhead and effectively improve the cooperation efficiency and channel utilization. Simulation results show that the maximum throughput of CRP-CMAC is 74%, 36.1% and 15% higher than those of the 802.11 DCF, CoopMACA and 2rcMAC protocols in a wireless local area network (WLAN) environment, and 82.6%, 37.6% and 46.3% higher in an ad hoc network environment, respectively.

We study the problem of optimal opportunistic spectrum access with unknown and heterogeneous channel dynamics in cognitive radio networks. There is neither statistic information about the licensed channels nor information exchange among secondary users in the respective systems. We formulate the problem of maximizing network throughput. To achieve the desired optimization, we propose a win-shift lose-stay algorithm based only on rewards. The key point of the algorithm is to make secondary users tend to shift to another channel after receiving rewards from the current channel. The optimality and the convergence of the proposed algorithm are proved. The simulation results show that for both heterogeneous and homogenous systems the proposed win-shift lose-stay algorithm has better performance in terms of throughput and fairness than an existing algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm for cellular relay networks by considering relay selection, variation of channel quality, and packet delay. In the networks, mobile users are equipped with not only cellular but also user relaying radio interfaces, where base station exploits adaptive high speed downlink channel. Our proposed algorithm selects a user with good cellular channel condition as a relay station for other users with bad cellular channel condition but can get access to relay link with good quality. This can achieve flexible packet scheduling by adjusting transmission rates of cellular link. Packets are scheduled for transmission depending on scheduling indexes which are calculated based on user's achieved transmission rate, packet utility, and proportional fairness of their throughput. The performance results obtained by using computer simulation show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is able to achieve high network capacity, low packet loss, and good fairness in terms of received throughput of mobile users.

In this paper, we consider a sectorized wireless powered sensor network (WPSN), wherein sensor nodes are clustered based on sectors and transmit data to the cluster head (CH) using energy harvested from a hybrid access point. We construct a system model for this sectorized WPSN and find optimal coordinates of CH that maximize the achievable transmission rate of sensing data. To obtain the optimal CH with low overhead, we perform an asymptotic geometric analysis (GA). Simulation results show that the proposed GA-based CH selection method is close to the optimal performance exhibited by exhaustive search with a low feedback overhead.

Although underlay spectrum sharing has been shown as a promising technique to promote the spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), it may suffer bad secondary performance due to the strict power constraints imposed at secondary systems and the interference from primary systems. In this paper, we propose a two-phase based cooperative transmission protocol with the interference cancellation (IC) and best-relay selection to improve the secondary performance in underlay models under stringent power constraints while ensuring the primary quality-of-service (QoS). In the proposed protocol, IC is employed at both the secondary relays and the secondary destination, where the IC-based best-relay selection and cooperative relaying schemes are well developed to reduce the interference from primary systems. The closed-form expression of secondary outage probability is derived for the proposed protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show that, with a guaranteed primary outage probability, the proposed protocol can achieve not only lower secondary outage probability but also higher secondary diversity order than the traditional underlay case.
