A new diversity combining scheme is proposed for time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation of chirp signal in dense multipath channel. In the multipath channel, the performance of TOA estimation using conventional correlation matrix-based diversity combining scheme is degraded due to the lack of de-correlation effect. To increase the de-correlation effect, the proposed diversity scheme employs interleaving method based on the property of de-chirped signal. As a result, the proposed scheme increases de-correlation effect and also reduces the noise of TOA estimation. Finally, the diversity achieved from the proposed scheme improves TOA estimation performance. The de-correlation effect is analyzed mathematically. The estimation accuracy of the proposed diversity scheme is superior to that of conventional diversity scheme in multipath channel.

The estimation of missing sensor values is an important problem in sensor network applications, but the existing approaches have some limitations, such as the limitations of application scope and estimation accuracy. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new estimation model based on a spatial-temporal correlation analysis (STCAM). STCAM can make full use of spatial and temporal correlations and can recognize whether the sensor parameters have a spatial correlation or a temporal correlation, and whether the missing sensor data are continuous. According to the recognition results, STCAM can choose one of the most suitable algorithms from among linear interpolation algorithm of temporal correlation analysis (TCA-LI), multiple regression algorithm of temporal correlation analysis (TCA-MR), spatial correlation analysis (SCA), spatial-temporal correlation analysis (STCA) to estimate the missing sensor data. STCAM was evaluated over Intel lab dataset and a traffic dataset, and the simulation experiment results show that STCAM has good estimation accuracy.

This paper describes a new method of estimating the gradient of a function with perturbation and correlation. We impose a known periodic perturbation to the input variable and observe the output of the function in order to obtain much richer and more reliable information. By taking the correlation between the input perturbation and the resultant function outputs, we can determine the gradient of the function. The computation of the correlation does not require derivatives; therefore the gradient can be estimated reliably. Robust estimation of the gradient using perturbation/correlation, which is very effective when an analytical solution is not available, is described. To verify the effectiveness of perturbation/correlation based estimation, the results of gradient estimation are compared with the analytical solutions of an example function. The effects of amplitude of the perturbation and number of samplings in a period are investigated. A minimization of a function with the gradient estimation method is performed.

This paper propose a target tracker using phase correlation. The tracker consist of a pre-processing module, a translation estimation module based on phase correlation, a fine motion estimation module applied when confidence rate could not fulfill a threshold value and a reference image update module. The fine motion estimation module measure the shift, rotation and scale of input image compared to reference using Fourier-Mellin transform. Proposed tracker was tested its accuracy and robustness using some real indoor and outdoor image sequences.

채널의 상태가 변하는 전송 환경에서 수신된 신호에 대한 잡음비를 추정하여, 보다 효율적으로 신호를 전송하는 것은 현대 통신 시스템에서 중요한 기술이다. 기존 NDA(Non-Data-Aided) SNR 추정 방법은 M진 APSK 또는 같은 고차원 신호의 SNR 추정 성능이 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에서 블록 단위 수신 신호의 영점 자기 상관과 decision feedback 신호의 자기 상관 및 상호 상관을 이용하는 SNR 추정 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 decision feedback 신호의 2차 모멘트인 영점 자기 상관을 이용하여 SNR을 추정하는 Type 1 방식과 4차 모멘트 성질을 갖고 있는 영점 자기 상관과 상호 상관을 이용한 Type 2 방식이다. 이 두가지 SNR 추정 방식은 OFDM 시스템에서 블록 단위 수신을 할 때, 신호의 상관 관계에 기반을 두고 있어 SNR 추정 방법의 실용적인 구현이 가능하게 하고, decision feedback 신호를 사용함으로써 QAM 신호에서도 종전의 SNR 추정 방식들보다 비교적 안정적인 추정 성능을 보인다. 또한, decision feedback 신호를 사용할 때 자기 상관과 상호 상관의 오차에 따른 SNR 추정 식을 수식적으로 유도한다. 그리고 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 SNR 추정 방법의 성능을 확인한다.

An adaptive beamforming system based on code filtering and differential correlation approaches is proposed. The differential correlation method was originally proposed for time delay estimation of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems under near-far ratio conditions and the code filtering correlation algorithm, on the other hand, was proposed for array response estimation in DS-CDMA systems under perfect power control. In this paper, by combining differential correlation concept with the code filtering beamforming technology, an accurate estimate of the beam forming weights and an enhanced performance of DS-CDMA systems under sever near-far ratio conditions is achieved. The system performance in terms of beam pattern and bit-error-rate (HER) shows that the proposed adaptive beamformer outperforms the conventional code filtering correlation technique.

This paper proposes a blind channel estimation scheme for long code direct sequence code division multiple access (DS­CDMA) systems with multipath fading channels. This scheme combines the advantages of Toeplitz displacement and correlation matching methods to achieve improved performance. The basic idea is to remove the effects of noise and interferences with Toeplitz displacement operation and then estimate the multi path channel parameters with the correlation matching method. Simulation results are presented to show that the proposed scheme provides better MSE performance and robustness against the near-far problem.

This paper presents a fast Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) estimation for sound source localization. TDOA is the time difference between the arrival times of a signal at two sensors. We propose a partial cross correlation method to increase the speed of TDOA estimation for sound source localization. We do this by predicting which part of the cross correlation function contains the required TDOA value with the help of the signal energies, and then we compute the cross correlation function in that direction only. Experiments show approximately 50% reduction in the cross correlation computation time thereby increasing the speed of TDOA computation. This makes it very relevant for real world surveillance.

This paper estimate a desired signal in a correlation wireless communication. The transmitted signal is mixed with the information signal, interference, and noise in wireless channel, and it is incident on the receiver. In this paper, we apply MUSIC algorithm and sub-array method to recover the total rank of the correlation matrix in order to estimation a desired signal among receiving signals. Through simulation, we analyze to compare the proposed method with the classical MUSIC algorithm. As a result of the simulation, the proposed method improved the resolution about 10degrees compared to the conventional MUSIC algorithm. We prove the superiority of the proposed method for the desired signal estimation in correlation channel.

본 논문에서는 선형 배열 균일 안테나에 입사하는 신호들의 상관행렬을 강건하게 생성하여 부공간 기반 기법의 도래각 추정 성능을 향상시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 부공간 기반 도래각 추정 기법은 상관행렬을 구한 후 신호 부공간과 잡음 부공간으로 분리하여 도래각을 추정한다. 그러나, 낮은 SNR, 작은 개수의 스냅샷에서 구해지는 상관행렬의 성분은 안테나의 잡음 성분으로 인하여 신호 부공간을 부정확하게 추정하여 도래각 추정 성능을 저하시킨다. 따라서, 기존의 상관행렬로부터 구해지는 가상의 신호 벡터를 슬라이딩 방식으로 배열함으로써 강건한 상관행렬을 생성한다. 기존의 상관행렬과 제안하는 강건한 상관행렬의 비교 분석을 위하여, 부공간 기반 기법의 대표적 방법인 MUSIC, ESPRIT을 이용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 계산 복잡도는 기존의 상관행렬 대비 2.5% 이내 증가하였으나, 도래각 추정성능은 RMSE 1° 기준 SNR이 MUSIC, ESPRIT 모두 3dB 이상의 우수한 도래각 추정 성능을 보였다.
