With the emergence of digital TV broadcasting, various TV channels are provided to a TV audience. But it is getting hard for the audience to find his or her preferred TV programs due to the huge number of TV channels. In order to mitigate the difficulty, channel navigation schemes have been proposed. The schemes predict preferred TV channel from viewer's previous watching histories, and provide the predicted channels when the viewer wants to change TV channel. As channel navigation schemes, there are Most Recently Selected (MRS) scheme providing the most recently watched channel, and Most Frequently Selected (MFS) scheme providing the most frequently selected channel. However, MFS and MRS scheme could be inappropriate to current TV system broadcasting various TV programs in a channel because they are based on the viewer's patterns of watching TV channels. Therefore, this paper proposes an efficient channel navigation scheme, Program Most Frequently Selected (PMFS), based on patterns of watching TV programs instead of TV channels. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme PMFS reduces the seek distance compared to the previous channel navigation schemes, MFS and MRS.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for improving not only the utilization of frequency bands in the guard channel scheme but also the dropping rate of cognitive radio user in the wireless cognitive radio-based cellular network. The proposed scheme enables cognitive radio users to utilize the guard channel for servicing only handoff calls in normal times, but cognitive radio users must vacate the frequency channel when handoff call appearing. At this time our scheme ensures their seamless services for cognitive radio users, by predicting handoff call's appearance by MMOSPRED (Multi-Media One Step Prediction) method and then reserving the demanded channels for spectrum handoff calls. Our simulations show that our scheme performs better than other schemes; GCS(Guard Channel Scheme) and a scheme without prediction in terms of cognitive users call's dropping rate and resource utilization efficiency.

This study aims at estimating the in-and-out traffic volume and improving the main channel in Kwangyang Harbour, by utilizing measurement of congestion, i.e, the bumper model. In 2011, the traffic volume of the main channel is 11.96 ships per hour and its traffic density is evaluated 9.53% of the basic traffic capacity. Therefore the existing width of the main channel, 850m is safe enough but the channel requires the traffic separation scheme as suggested in order to secure the safe of the transit vessel.

In this paper, the BER performance of IEEE 802.11a OFDM WLAN system is obtained by simulation and it is shown that the proposed modified channel estimation algorithm improves the channel estimation performance of the system. The wireless channel used in channel simulation includes AWGN and delay spread channel implemented by TDL model. At first, the performance of OFDM WLAN system according to data rate and coding rate defined in standard is evaluated in AWGN channel. Then, imperfect channel estimation in indoor wireless channel is considered. After the performance of conventional channel estimation scheme using only two long training symbols is evaluated, and that of proposed modified channel estimation scheme using additional 8 short training symbol is compared with it. From the simulation results, it is shown that modified channel estimation scheme provides reduced channel estimation error and improves the channel estimation performance due to noise averaging effect with the same preamble format as defined in specification.

In this paper, a channel estimation scheme for high-speed Binary CDMA systems is proposed and its performances are investigated. In high-speed Binary CDMA which adopt high order modulations, since BER(bit error rate) performances are deteriorated when equalizer does not converge enough during preamble period it is preferred to set the optimum coefficients of equalizer through channel estimation. In this paper, taking notice of repetition of CAZAC sequence in preamble period, a channel estimation scheme is proposed, which can improve estimation performances with few complexity increase. From the simulation results, one can see that the proposed channel estimation scheme can be implemented simply with no performance deterioration compared to the conventional one.

In this paper, we proposed two systems, STTC scheme and STBC-TCM scheme, to enhance the reliability of HDR-WPAN system and analyzed BER(bit error rate) performance of the proposed systems over the slow fading channel. The proposed systems had a diversity gain and coding gain without increasing an additional channel bandwidth. However, in terms of reliability, about 4dB improvement at BER=$10^{-4}$ was obtained by the STBC-TCM scheme. In addition, HDR-WPAN system with STBC-TCM scheme had a linear rise in system complexity of ML(maximum likelihood). From the results, STBC-TCM scheme was more appropriate to improve the reliability and channel efficiency and to reduce complexity of HDR-WPAN system.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, in order to design an efficient packet structure, we employ channel coding scheme and phase recovery algorithm. For channel coding scheme, half rate LDPC channel coding scheme with N=1944 and K=972 was used. Also, decision directed phase recovery was used for correcting phase offset induced by multipath. Based on these algorithms, we propose length of data for optimal packet structure in the environment of oceanic experimentation.

There has been a lot of research done in scheme guaranteeing user's mobility and effective resources management to satisfy the requested by users in the wireless/mobile networks. In this paper, we propose a predictive resource allocation scheme based on ARMA(Auto Regressive Moving Average) prediction model to meet QoS requirements(handoff dropping rate) for guaranteeing users' mobility. The proposed scheme predicts the demanded amount of resource in the future time by ARMA time series prediction model, and then reserves it. The ARMA model can be used to take into account the correlation of future handoff resource demands with present and past handoff demands for provision of targeted handoff dropping rate. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing RCS(Reserved channel scheme) in terms of handoff connection dropping rate and resource utilization.

In this paper a low power Spreading Code Authentication (SCA) sequence with a BPSK(1) modulation at a frequency offset of +7.161 MHz is tested for authentication purposes, the Galileo E1OS is used as base signal. The tested signals comprise a Galileo constellation with 5 satellites including the Galileo OS Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) and a low power offset BPSK (OBPSK(7,1)) as SCA component. The signals are generated with the software based MuSNAT-Signal-Generator. The generated signals were transmitted Over-The-Air (OTA) using a Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) as pseudolite. With a real-environment-testbed the performance of the SCA in real channel conditions (fading and multipath) was tested. A new SCA evaluation scheme is proposed and was implemented. Under real channel conditions we derive experimental threshold values for the new SCA evaluation scheme which allow a robust authentication. A Security Code Estimation and Replay (SCER) spoofing attack was mimicked on the real-environment-testbed and analyzed with the SCA evaluation scheme. It was shown that the usage of an OBPSK is feasible as an authentication method and can be used in combination with the OSNMA to improve the authentication robustness against Security SCER attacks.

In this paper, we have studied the reliable scheme for transmission of digital watermarking-inserted image data through wireless channel. Multimedia data and watermarking data are degraded because of the high BER (Bit Error Rate) and the effect of fading in wireless channel. We adapt the error correction scheme for mitigating the degradation in watermarking data. We have evaluated the error performance of watermarking data modulated by OFDM/16QAM and sent through Rician fading channel. The simulation results show that when error correcting scheme is used the watermarking data can be detected without severe error even though watermarking-inserted image data is suffered from severe damage.
