In this paper, we present the Modulator Channel Card and VLSI chip for the Radio Transceiver Unit (RTU) of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) Wireless Local Loop (WLL) System. The Modulator Channel Card is designed and implemented using ASIC's, FPGA's and DSP's. The ASIC, compliance with Common Air Interface specification proposed by ETRI, has 40K gates which is designed to operate at 32MHz, and is fabricated using $0.6\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS process. The ASIC carries out for I- or Q- phase data channel signal processing at a time, where each data channel processing consists of channel coding, block interleaving, scrambling, Walsh modulation, Pseudo-Noise (PN) spreading, and baseband filtering. The Modulator Channel Card has been integrated as a part of RTU of WLL system and is confirmed that it meets all functional and performance requirements.

In cognitive radio networks, secondary transmitters should cease its transmission immediately on detecting of primary transmission in the spectrum they are accessing. Then they should exploit another idle spectrums and handoff to the newly found idle spectrums, which is called spectrum rendezvous. With regards to spectrum rendezvous, most of related work presume the existence of dedicated common control channel used by secondary users for exchanging the information of idle spectrums. However, this presumption is not feasible in real world cognitive radio scenario. Therefore we address a blind spectrum rendezvous scheme with no need of separate control channel. Furthermore we consider maintaining one or more extra spectrums (channels) to expedite the spectrum rendezvous. Our scheme lets secondary users maintain extra spectrums by exchanging the spectrum information periodically during normal communications. The one of the extra spectrums are regarded as a candidate spectrum that the users can handoff to on detecting the primary transmission. We evaluate that our blind scheme can help to reduce the rendezvous delay in a real world cognitive radio environments with USRPs.

This paper presents an efficient synchronizer architecture using a common autocorrelator for Digital Video Broadcasting via Satellite, Second generation (DVB-S2). To achieve the required performance under the worst channel condition and to implement the efficient H/W resource utilization of functional synchronization blocks, we propose a new efficient common autocorrelator structure. The proposed architecture can decrease about 92% of multipliers and 81% of adders compared with the direct implementation. Moreover, the proposed architecture has been thoroughly verified in XilinxTM Virtex IV and R&STM SFU (Signaling and Formatting Unit) broad-cast test equipment.

Interference may severely deteriorate performance in wireless communication. Han-Kobayashi scheme splits each user's signal into private and common information so that the receiver removes the other's common signal for partial interference cancellation. This paper proposes an optimal power allocation to private and common signals for Han-Kobayashi scheme by using required SNR in a private information only system. Numerical results show that the proposed power allocation is quite close to the optimal power allocation based on exhaustive searches.

In cognitive radio ad-hoc networks, common control channel overload and packet collisions are occured due to indiscriminate broadcasting of control packets. So that the path reliability is reduced and control channel is easily saturated. In this paper, we propose a new routing algorithm considering the probability of appearance of primary user and channel status of neighbor nodes. When the source node needs to transmit a data packet to the destination, it performs route discovery process by exchanging control messages using a control channel in ADOV CR Ad-hoc networks. If any intermediate node doesn't have common data channel with previous node to transmit data, it doesn't rebroadcast control packet. And if it has common data channels with previous node, each node determines channel contribution factor with the number of common channels. Based on the channel contribution factor, each node performs different back-off broadcasting. In addition, each node controls control packet flooding by applying to proposed advanced mode using such as number of available channels and channel stability. With the proposed method, the number of control packets to find the data transmission path and the probability of collision among control packets can be decreased. While the path reliability can be increased. Through simulation, we show that our proposed algorithm reduces packet collisions in comparison with the traditional algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an asynchronous MAC protocol to minimize energy usage and to maximize data throughput for a wireless sensor network in multi channel environments. Our proposed SPMC-MAC (Slim Preamble Multi-Channel Media Access Control) adopts the preamble sliming mechanism proposed in [6] that takes advantage of the knowledge about the wakeup time of the receiver node. The preamble contains the receiver's ID and a randomly selected channel ID for data communication, and it is transmitted over a dedicated common channel. The power control has the benefit of keeping an appropriate number of nodes with the communication range, resulting in reduced collision and interference. We compare our SPMC-MAC and X-MAC extensively in terms of energy consumption and throughput using mathematical analysis and simulation.

Nowadays, the development of wireless communications provides a convenience for many people. On the other hand, the openness of wireless communications poses serious security threats and the security of wireless communications is necessary to support the secure communication channel. The common security method on wireless is the stream cipher that generates the pseudorandom number. In this paper, we propose the usage of the nonlinear function S-box and the mechanism according to it in stream cipher as the study to securely protect data transferred on wireless communications. Besides, it goes abreast a study on S-box with the best random characteristic among the used S-boxes on wireless communications. By means of test, we investigate the most appropriate S-box of DES on wireless communications environment and prove the efficiency of the proposed model by comparing and analysis of the randomness of the based stream cipher and the proposed model.

The design of LAI(Local Area Identifier), the first paging area for searching the mobile terminal has a close relation with the performance of paging channel in CDMA cellular network. This paper discussed the performance of the forward channel of IS-95 CDMA standard, known as the paging through the related messages such as call control message, channel assignment message, etc. Modeling and simulation work were conducted to quantify the performance of paging channel in terms of traffic handling capacity and blocking levels. The results shown are based on a specific system call model based on the operating system of cell cite. This serves as illustrative guidelines for the proper engineering of common control channel, which has a major impact on the overall performance of cellular network.

In this paper, we focus on the study of multi-node rendezvous on one common channel among multiple channels before transmitting in CRAHNs (Cognitive Radio Ad-hoc Networks) for the efficient use of inefficient frequency resources. Most existing researches have dealt with the channel rendezvous between two nodes. But, it can be time-consuming to apply them to three or more nodes. In addition, it cab be impossible to communicate with each other. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a Multi-Node Sequence (MNSEQ), which allows three or more nodes to rendezvous on a single common channel in a short period of time. And, CSMA/CA was applied for data exchange after rendezvous. By performance evaluation through very extensive simulations, we have demonstrated that the proposed MNSEQ outperforms the existing scheme in terms of communication completion time and transmission efficiency.

신호망에서의 지연은 망관리 행위의 응답시간에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 모든 제어정보는 가장 효과적으로 전송되어야 한다. 신호망이 효율적으로 운용되는지 뿐만 아니라 신호망의효과적인 설계를 위해서 신호시스템의 성능을 아는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 공통선 신호 시스템의 신호망 기능부의 지연 성능을 분석하였다. 분석은 ITU-T 규격을 기반으로 다른 계층의 프로토콜에 독립적인 큐잉모델을 만들어 대기체계분석을 통하여 이루어졌다. 또한 신호망 기능부가 신호 메시지 처리부와 신호망 관리부로 나누어져 구성되는 것도 고려하여 모델링하였다.
