The coexistence among different systems is a major problem in communications. Mutual interference between different systems should be analyzed and mitigated before their deployment. The paper focuses on two aspects that have an impact on the system performance. First, the coexistence analysis, i.e. evaluating the mutual interference. Second aspect is the coexistence techniques, i.e. appropriate system modifications that guarantee the simultaneous use of the spectrum by different technologies. In particular, the coexistence problem is analyzed between ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) and narrow bandwidth (NB) systems emphasizing the role of spectrum sensing to identify and classify the NB interferers that mostly affect the performance of UWB system. A direct sequence (DS)-time hopping (TH) code design technique is used to mitigate the identified NB interference. Due to the severe effect of Narrowband Interference on UWB communications, we propose an UWB transceiver that utilizes spectrum-sensing techniques together with mitigation techniques. The proposed transceiver improves both the UWB and NB systems performance by adaptively reducing the mutual interference. Detection and avoidance method is used where spectrum is sensed every time duration to detect the NB interferer's frequency location and power avoiding it's effect by using the appropriate mitigation technique. Two scenarios are presented to identify, classify, and mitigate NB interferers.

This paper proposes the specific code synchronization technique for DS-SS(Direct Sequence-Spread Spectrum transmission in the DVB-RCS +M standard. DS-SS is better than multi-carrier transmission method under nonlinear channel but imposes a long acquisition time. To improve the synchronization aspect, the robust correlation structure is introduced for acquisition and the nonlinear delay lock loop is done for tracking. MAT(Mean Acquisition Time) performances is shown to validate its superiority. In addition, code tracking and jitter performances are done when code tracking algorithm based on 2 oversamples which is not influenced by sampling clock timing offset and carrier freq. offset is used.

In this pape, an analysis approach for the performance of serial search burst-format direct sequence spread-spectrum code acquisiion system using matched filter is presented. And an acquistion system using analog matched filter is analyzed by this approach. And special consideration is focused on the effect of the code autocorelation sideobes. The basic idea of thi approach is the constuction of state tansition digram at the time of random packet arrival and the calculation of the packet loss probability, which is deveoped in terms of the following parameters: the false alarm probability. the etection probability, and the probability of receiver blocking obtained from the blocked customers cleae queeing system model. The analysis results reveal that the performance of the acquisition system is degraded by the effet of the code autocorrelation sidelobes above a certain value of SN/chip.

In this paper, we propose optimal and suboptimal serial code acquisition schemes for chip-asynchronous direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems. The conventional serial code acquisition scheme is to compare each value of correlator outputs with a threshold individually. However, such a scheme is optimum only under the chip-synchronous assumption which is actually very difficult to be held prior to acquisition at the receiver because the signal-to-noise ratios before despreading are very low. In this paper, an optimal serial code acquisition scheme is derived based on the maximum-likelihood criterion under the more realistic and general chip-asynchronous environments. A suboptimal scheme, which is simpler but yields comparable performance to the optimal one, is also derived based on the criterion of local detection power Numerical results show that, under the chip-asynchronous environments, both the optimal and suboptimal serial code acquisition schemes outperform the conventional serial code acquisition scheme.

We investigate a generalized combined power and rate adaptation scheme in direct-sequence (DS) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communications over Nakagami fading channels. The transmission power allocated to user i is proportional to $G^p_i$, where $G_i$ is the channel gain of user i and p is a real number, and the data rate (i.e., spreading gain) is jointly adapted so that a desired QoS is maintained. We analyze the average data rate of the proposed adaptation scheme subject to fixed average and peak transmission power constraints. Our results show that the proposed joint adaptation scheme provides a significant performance improvement over power-only and rate-only adaptation.

This paper considers the evaluation of the hybrid acquistion perdformance for the pilot signal in the direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) forward link. the hybrid acquisition is introduced by the combination of two schemes, the parallel and serial acquisions. The mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme is derived to consider both the best case(the correct code-phase offsets are included i one subset) and the worst case(the correct code-phase offsets exist at the boundary of two subsets), which are cause by the distribution of the correct code-phase offsets in the subset. Expressions for the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities are derived for the case of multiple correct code-phase offsets and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results present the hybrid acquistion performance with repect to design parameters such as postdetectio integration length in the search and verification modes, subset size, and number of I/Q noncoherent correlators, and compare the hybrid acquistion with the parallel acquistion in terms of the minimum acquistion time under the same hardware complexity.

In this paper, we propose the design and fabrication on high frequency CMOS VCO for DS-UWB(Direct-Sequence Ultra-WideBand) applications using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ process. The complementary cross-coupled LC oscillator architecture which is composed of PMOS, NMOS symmetrically, is designed for improving the phase noise characteristic. The resistor is used instead of current source that reduce the 1/f noise of current source. The high-speed buffer is needed for measuring the output characteristic of VCO using spectrum analyzer, therefore the high-speed inverter buffer is designed with VCO. A fabricated core VCO size is $340{\mu}m{\times}535{\mu}m$. The VCO is tunable between 7.09 and 7.52 GHz and has a phase noise lower than -107 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset over entire tuning range. The measured harmonic suppression is 32 dB. The VCO core circuit draws 2.0 mA from a 1.8 V supply.

In this paper, we present a mathematical modeling and perform a performance analysis of double-dwell serial search algorithm, which has a search window concept, for pilot channel in DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access). We derive a code detection function, a false alarm function, a code miss function, and a mean code acquisition time for the performance analysis. We calculate the mean code acquisition time of the mathematical model in IS-95 forward link and compare it with that of the conventional search methods. The performance of the code acquisition system is also evaluated to investigate the effect of dwell times and search window size. The JTC channel model, which is a PCS channel model in North America, is used for the analysis. The numerical result shows that the mean code acquisition time of the double-dwell serial search algorithm with a search window is reduced by about 17%~25% than those of the conventional ones.

이동통신 망을 통한 멀티미디어 통신의 수요 급증으로, 차세대 이동통신 시스템에서는 패킷 교환에 기초한 망 구조가 사용될 것으로 예측된다. VOD(Voice Activity Detector)를 갖는 음성 단말은 데이터를 발생시키는 talk spurt(평균이 t$_1$인 지수분포를 따름)와 데이터를 발생시키지 않는 silence period(평균이 t$_2$인 지수분포를 따름)의 두가지 상태를 갖는 마코프 체인으로 모델링된다. Goodman at. al.은 음성 단말들이 talk spurt동안만 데이터를 전송하게 함으로써 더 많은 가입자들을 수용할 수 있는 PRMA(Packet Reservation Multiple Access) 기법을 제안되었다. PRMA 방식에서는 시간 축이 슬롯들로 구성되며 여러개의 슬롯들로 프레임이 형성된다. Silence period 상태에 있던 음성 단말은 talk spurt 상태가 되면 talk spurt의 첫 번째 데이터를 하나의 슬롯을 통해 전송하게 된다. 이때 단말들은 각 슬롯에서 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 확률을 나타내는 채널 접근 확률(channel access probability)에 의해 데이터를 전송하게 되며 전송에 성공하면 슬롯을 예약함으로서 다음 프레임부터는 동일한 위치의 슬롯을 통해 데이터들을 전송하게 된다. DS/CDMA(Direct Sequence/code Division Multiple Access)는 이동통신 단말의 수용 용량상의 이점, 소프트 핸드오버 능력, 보다 용이하게 셀 계획을 세울 수 있는 점 등에 의해 차세대 이동통신 망에서 채택될 예정이다. CDMA 시스템은 간섭(interference)에 의해 용량이 제한을 받게 되며, MAI(Multiple Access Interference)가 시스템의 성능에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. Brand, et. al.은 간섭의 분산을 줄이기 위해 PRMA 개념을 DS/CDMA 환경으로 확장한 Joint CDMA/PRMA 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이때 각 슬롯에서의 데이터 전송확률을 그 슬롯에서 예약상태에 있는 음성 단말의 수에 의존하게 하는 방식을 사용하였으며 데이터 전송확률을 나타내는 채널 접근 확률들을 시뮬레이션을 통해 유도하였다. 한편 음성 단말에게는 실시간 서비스를 제공해 주어야 하는 대신 데이터 단말에게는 실시간 서비스를 제공해 주지 않아도 되므로, 트래픽이 많을 때에는 음성 단말의 데이터 전송에 우선권을 주는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 위해서 Brand, et. al.은 채널 접근 확률을 각 슬롯의 트래픽 상태에 따라 적응적으로 산출하는 기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Joint CDMA/PRMA의 성능이 채널 접근 함수의 효율성에 많이 의존하게 되므로 보다 효율적인 채널 접근 확률을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 즉 채널 액세스 확률을 각 슬롯에서 예약상태에 있는 음성 단말의 수뿐만 아니라 각 슬롯에서 예약을 하려고 하는 단말의 수에 기초하여 산출하는 방법을 제안하고 이의 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션에 의해 새로 제안된 채널 허용 확률을 산출하는 방식의 성능을 비교한 결과 기존에 제안된 방법들보다 상당한 성능의 향상을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a biorthogonal modulation employing a constant-amplitude transmission of multi-code signals by introducing a simple constant-amplitude coding scheme with redundant bits. The proposed constant-amplitude biorthogonal multi-code (CABM) modulation can provide high spectral efficiency compared with a conventional direct sequence/spread spectrum (DS/SS) modulation. Nevertheless the proposed CABM modulation can keep up a constant-amplitude signal. Additionally, we propose various types of demodulation structures for the CABM modulation. Simulation results show that bit error rate (BER) performance and hardware complexity of the proposed CABM modulation are highly improved in comparison with those of a constant-amplitude orthogonal multi-code (CAOM) modulation.
