To alleviate positioning error using wireless ultra-wideband (UWB) is primary concern, and it has been studied how to reduce the positioning error effectively. Thanks to many repeated transmissions of UWB signals, we can have a variety of selections to point out the most precise positioning result. Towards this, scanning method has been preferred to be used due to its simplicity. This exhaustive method firstly fixes the candidate position, and calculates the sum of distances from observed positions. However, it has tremendous number of computations, and the complexity is more serious if the size of two-dimensional range is the larger. To mitigate the large number of computations, this paper proposes the technique employing genetic algorithm and block windowing. To exploit its superiority, simulations will be conducted to show the reduction of complexity, and the efficiency on positioning capability.

In this paper, the DMR(Digital Microwave Radio) system-based OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme in microwave channel environments has been proposed and system performances have been evaluated. The existing single carrier DMR system has a complex system structure due to using high-level QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) modulation scheme and so charmel capacity is limited by sensitive effects from fading. Therefore, in the proposed DMR system, it uses that the OFDM scheme for enhancement of fading distortion and also uses that the band-limited pulse shaping filter instead of windowing for no additional data such as GI/GB and for using efficient of IFFT/FFT block. The performance of OFDM/QPSK-DMR system and single carrier DMR system are analysed by computer simulation using two-ray model under the microwave channel environments The computer simulation results confirm that the fade margin of the proposed OFDM/QPSK-DMR system is highly increased as the number of sub-carriers is larger.

When the availability of embedded device is considered, combined countermeasure such as first-order masking and hiding countermeasures is quite attractive because the security and efficiency can be provided at the same time. Especially, combined countermeasure can be applied to the confusion and diffusion layers of the first and last rounds in order to provide the efficiency. Also, the middle rounds only employs first-order masking countermeasure or no countermeasure. In this paper, we suggest a novel side channel analysis with low complexity in the output of diffusion layer. In general, the attack target cannot be set to the output of diffusion layer owing to the high complexity. When the diffusion layer of block cipher is composed of AND operations, we show that the attack complexity can be reduced. Here, we consider that the main algorithm is SEED. Then, the attack complexity with $2^{32}$ can be reduced by $2^{16}$ according to the fact that the correlation between the combination of S-box outputs and that of the outputs of diffusion layer. Moreover, compared to the fact that the main target is the output of S-box in general, we demonstrate that the required number of traces can be reduced by 43~98% in terms of simulated traces. Additionally, we show that only 8,000 traces are enough to retrieve the correct key by suggested scheme, although it fails to reveal the correct key when performing the general approach on 100,000 traces in realistic device.
