High spectral efficiency can be obtained by adaptive modulation in which the modulation scheme is changed according to the channel environment. Thus it is especially suitable to mobile channel which is a typical example of time-varying channel. It is required to determine the optimum thresholds of signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) to change the modulation scheme effectively according to mobile speeds. Thus the optimum thresholds for specific mobile speeds to get the required bit error rate(BER) of $10^{-6}$ are obtained with the powerful turbo code in this paper. In addition, the optimum thresholds for the continuous mobile speed are proposed by interpolation of the obtained results. And the error performance and average spectral efficiency are investigated at various mobile speeds and channel environments.

Oxidized abasic residues arise as a major class of DNA damage by a variety of agents involving free radical attack and oxidation of deoxyribose sugar components. 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL) is a C1'-oxidized abasic lesion implicated in DNA strand scission, mutagenesis, and covalent DNA-protein cross-link (DPC). We show here that mammalian cell-free extract give rise to stable DPC formation that is specifically mediated by dL residue. When a duplex DNA containing dL at the site-specific position was incubated with cell-free extracts of Po ${\beta}-proficient$ and -deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast cells, the formation of major dL-mediated DPC was dependent on the presence of DNA polymerase (Pol) ${\beta}$. Formation of dL-specific DPC was also observed with histones and FEN1 nuclease, although the reactivity in forming dL-mediated DPC was significantly higher with Pol ${\beta}$ than with histones or FEN1. DNA repair assay with a defined DPC revealed that the dL lesion once cross-linked with Pol ${\beta}$ was resistant to nucleotide excision repair activity of cell-free extract. Analysis of nucleotide excision repair utilizing a model DNA substrate containing a (6-4) photoproduct suggested that excision process for DPC was inhibited because of DNA single-strand incision at 5' of the lesion. Consequently DPC mediated by dL lesion may not be readily repaired by DNA excision repair pathway but instead function as unusual DNA damage causing a prolonged DNA strand break and trapping of the major base excision repair enzyme.

In this paper, BER performance and error convergence speed of layered LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) decoder which supports IEEE 802.16e WiMAX standard is analyzed, and optimal design conditions for hardware implementation are derived. A LDPC decoder is modeled and simulated at AWGN channel with QPSK modulation by Matlab. The parity check matrix(PCM) for IEEE 802.16e standard which has block lengths of 576, 1440, 2304 and code rates of 1/2, 2/3A, 2/3B, 3/4A, 3/4B, 5/6 are used. Fixed-point simulation results show that fixed-point bit-width should be more than 8 bits for acceptable decoding performance.

In most of the structural members with initial cracks(or initial notches), the strength tends to decmase as the member size increases. This phenomenon is known as size effect. Among the structural materials of glass, metal or concrete, etc., concrete represents the size effect even without initial crack. According to the previous size effect law, the concrete mem¬ber of very large size can resist little stress. Actually, however, even the large size member can resist some stress if there is no initial crack made artificially, consequently showing a rather milder strength reduction compared to the severe strength reduction by tbe previously derived size effect law. In this study, the theoretical size effect law previously derived by Z.P. Bazant was discussed based on nonlinear fracture mechanics of concrete structures With dissimilar initial cracks, and the prediction models are proposed by regression analysis with the existing test data of more large size speciments for splitting tensile strength, shear strength and uniaxial compressive strength tests.

The monitoring system in railway is under study to forecast any derailment and accident by defect of train. Because the monitoring system is composed of wireless sensor network based on ZigBee-communication between inside and outside of train, the study for wireless channel analysis is required. Especially, if multipath delay profile exist in the channel, the equalizer and channel estimator can be required for preventing receiver performance degradation. Therefore, we analyzed the wireless channel in train environment using measured data and, proposed the channel estimation method through the characterisitic of chip code, under the consideration of the channel characteristics in train. To show the performance of proposed method, we demonstrate the performance by mean square error(MSE), computational complexity and bit error rate(BER).

In this paper, we propose an approach to improve the data detection performance of the acoustic data transmission system based on the modulated complex lapped transform (MCLT). We first present an effective analysis of the features and the detection method of data in the acoustic data transmission system. And then feature vectors which are applied to the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) are selected from relevant parameters of the previous system for the efficient data detection. For the purpose of evaluating the performance of the proposed algorithm, Bit error rate (BER) of the received data was measured at different environments (music genres (rock, pop, classic, jazz) and different distances (1m∼5m) from the loudspeaker to the microphone in a office room) and yields better results compared with the conventional scheme of the acoustic data transmission system based on the MCLT.

In this paper, we proposed analysis additional data transmission scheme based on T-DMB system with watermarking technique for emergency broadcasting service. By applying the proposed scheme to T-DMB system, it allows additional data transmission and improves spectral efficiency of data transmission through watermarking spreading code. In the emergency situation, we can react the emergency situation using the emergency information that generated by proposed scheme. We are certified availability of our proposed technology by using various simulation. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation result, we confirmed the performance of T-DMB system embedded watermarking scheme and it is shown that system performance is affected the watermarking level. The results of the paper can be applied to wireless multimedia digital broadcasting system.

In this paper, the effect of nonllinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier(HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memeoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of high-order. the nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by oother subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, we analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-effor rate(BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

In this paper, we introduce an improved sorting method of the IGIC(Improved initial stage Grouping Interference Canceller) system for advanced BER(Bit Error Rate) performance in DS-CDMA. Among non liner Interference Cancellers, the PIC(Parallel IC) with advanced initial stage by sorting method has the name of the IGIC(Improved initial stage Grouping Interference Canceller) system. In this system, All group are shared with the same number of users. But, if each group are divided the same users, so that difference of the signals strength appeared greatly in the same group. Up to this time, the weak signals have more effect of the MAI (Multiple Access Interference) from the strong signals in the same group. The proposed IC (Interference Canceller) to solve those problems has a better performance by using improved sorting method from IGIC system. A new sorting method is the technique that the strength of signals would be liked in the same group. So, the MAI is reduced as difference of signal strength minimize. Analysis of performance assayed to make comparison with other non liner interference canceller when power controlled and not one.

With the advent of future mobile communication systems, the wireless transmission of the huge amount of multimedia data over the error-prone multipath fading channel has to overcome the inherent sensitivity to channel errors. To alleviate the effect of the channel errors, hosts of techniques based on the forward error correction(FEC) has been proposed at the cost of overhead rate. Among the FEC techniques, turbo code, whose performance has been shown to be very close to the Shannon limit, can be classified as a block-based error correction code. In this paper, considering the variable packet size of the multimedia data, we analyzed turbo codes employing the variable-sized interleaver. The effect of the various parameters on the BER performance is analyzed. We show that the turbo codes can be used as efficient error correction codes of multimedia data.
