In this paper we consider the frequency assignment problem (FAP) in a cellular mobile communication system which has a maximal distance of channel interference. This special structure is observed in most cellular systems. To handle the considered FAP, we use the pattern approach which fits naturally to the problem. Based on this approach, we are able to formulate the considered FAP into a manageable optimization problem and propose a two phase heuristic algorithm for the problem. Computational experiments show that our algorithm performs much better in both solution quality and computational time than the recently developed algorithms for FAP. Since the considered FAP well reflects most cellular systems, our algorithm can be applied to many practical situations.

We propose a distributed medium access control protocol for cognitive radio networks to opportunistically utilize multiple channels. Under the proposed protocol, cognitive radio nodes forecast and rank channel availability observing primary users' activities on the channels for a period of time by time series analyzing using smoothing models for seasonal data by Winters' method. The proposed approach protects primary users, mitigates channel access delay, and increases network performance. We analyze the optimal time to sense channels to avoid conflict with the primary users. We simulate and compare the proposed protocol with the existing protocol. The results show that the proposed approach utilizes channels more efficiently.

A new channel access function is proposed to enhance the performance of the Joint CDMA/PRMA. It is obtained in consideration of the number of terminals in reservation mode and the number of terminals in contention mode whose probability distribution is estimated by applying pseudo Bayesian approach. Simulation results show that the performance of the Joint CDMA/PRMA can be improved by applying new channel access function under voice-only traffic and mixed voice/random-data traffic.

In this report, we present newly improved optical design for the Amon-Ra energy channel and its optical performance. The design is optimized parametrically with emphasis on improved light concentration. And then its performances are computed, first, from a laboratory test simulation using laser method (wave optics approach) and, second, from an in-orbit radiative transfer simulation using IRT method with 3D Earth model (geometrical optics approach). Two simulation test results show clear evidence of energy concentration improvement.

The number of quantization bits of the input signals $X_k$,$Y_k$ need to be optimally determined through the trade-off between the H/W complexity and the BER performance in Turbo codes applications. Also, an effective means to incorporate a channel reliability $L_c$ in the Log-MAP-based Turbo decoding is highly required. because it has a major effect on both the complexity and the performance. In this paper, a novel bit-shifting approach that substitutes for the multiplying is proposed so as to effectively incorporate. $L_c$ in Turbo decoding. The optimal number of quantization bits of $X_k$,$Y_k$ is investigated through Monte-Carlo simulations assuming that bit-shifting approach is adopted. In addition. The effects of an incorrect estimation of noise variance on the performance of Turbo codes is investigated. There is a confined range in which the effects of an incorrect estimation can be ignored.

In this paper, we propose the adaptive beamforming algorithm for the MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access)system to improve the performance. The performance of MIMO-OFDMA systems is greatly decreased in the wireless channel environment with multiusers, because the received signals are much distorted by a cochannel interference (CCI) during the space-time decoding. The proposed approach can track the DOA of each signal from the multiple antennas of the desired user without being greatly dependent on the impinging angle. And beams are directed toward the multiple transmitters of the desired user while null beams are directed toward interference directions. Therefore, we can can effectively cancel CCI and mitigate the impairment of delay spread while preserving the STC(space time code) diversity. BER performance improvement is investigated through computer simulation by applying the proposed approach to MIMO-OFDMA system in a multipath fading channel with CCI.

We establish a statistical model for the ultra-wide bandwidth (UMB) indoor channel based on over 2000 frequency response measurements campaign in a Practical apartment. The approach is based on the investigation of the statistical properties of the multipath profiles measured in different place with different rooms. Based on the experimental results, a characterization of the propagation channel from theoretic view point is described. Also we describe a method for measurement of the channel impulse response and channel transfer function. Using the measured data, the authors compares channel impulse responses obtained from time-domain and channel transfer functions obtained from frequency-domain with statistical path loss model. The bandwidth of the signal used in this experiment is from 10MHz to 8.01 GHz. The time-domain results such as maximum excess delay, men excess delay and ms delay spread are presented. As well as, omni-directional biconical antenna were used for transmitter and receiver In addition, measurements presented here support m channel model including the antenna characteristics.

This paper presents a systematic method of probing channel characteristics and communication reliabilities of home power line communication network applied to the Internet accessed control of home appliances. The effects of the three performance deteriorating factors, i.e., additive noise, channel attenuation, and intersymbol interference, can be systematically measured by applying the channel probing waveform in the frequency range from 100㎑ to 450㎑. Probability of bit error is derived with the probed channel parameters of the signal attenuation, noise and signal-to-interference ratio read in the frequency domain. The agreement between the derived probability of bit ewer and the measured probability of bit error support the validity of the proposed approach of probing home power line channel characteristics. The experimental results performed with the constructed test-bed applying the Proposed channel probing method and the operation reliability measurement of the overall networked system also support the feasibility of commercially deploying the PLC modem installed home appliances and their services for the Internet accessed home automation in densely populated residential apartment complexes.

We consider transmission beamforming techniques for frequency-division-duplex (FDD) wireless communication systems using adaptive arrays to improve the signal quality of the array transmission link. We develop a simple effective transmission beamforming technique based on an approximated frequency tranlsation (AFT) to derive the tranmsiion beamforming weights from the uplink channel vector. This technique exploits the invariance of the short-time averaged fast fading statistics to small frequency translations. A simple approximate relationship that relates the transmission channel vector to the reception channel vector is derived. We have developed its practical alternative in which the frequency translation of the channel vector is performed at the principal angle of arrival (AOA) of the u;link synthestic angular spectrum instead of the mean AOA. To analyze the performance of the proposed methods, we consider the power loss incurred by applying the estimated channel vector instead of the true downlink channel vector. The performance is analyzed as a function of the mean AOA, the angular spread, the number of elements, frequncy difference between the uplink and the downlink, and the angle distribution. Their performance is also compared with that of the direct weight reuse method and the AOA based methods.

Many important properties in colloidal systems are usually determined by surface charge ($\zeta$-potential) of the contacted solid surface. In this study, $\zeta$-potential of glass $\mu$-channel was evaluated from the electro-osmotic velocity distribution. The electro-osmotic velocity inside a glass $\mu$-channel was measured using a micro-PIV velocity field measurement technique. This evaluation method is more simple and easy to approach, compared with the traditional streaming potential technique. The $\zeta$-potential in the glass $\mu$-channel was measured for two different mole NaCl solutions. The effect of an anion surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), on the electro-osmotic velocity and $\zeta$-potential in the glass surface was also studied. In the range of $0\∼6$mM, the surfactant SDS was added to NaCl solution in four different mole concentrations. As a result, the addition of SDS increases $\zeta$-potential in the surface of the glass $\mu$-channel. The measured $\zeta$-potential was found to vary from-260 to-70mV. When negatively charged particles were used, the flow direction was opposite compared with that of neutral particles. The $\zeta$-potential has a positive sign for the negative particles.
