본 논문에서는 실내 전파 환경에서의 편파 다이버시티와 공간 다이버시티의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 영상 법을 기본으로 한 3차원 광선 추적법을 이용하였다. 본 모텔링은 선호강도 뿐만 아니라 채널의 페이딩 특성 을 예측할 수 있기 때문에 편파 및 공간 다이버시티 기법의 성능을 분석하는데 이용될 수 있다. 측정과 시율 레이션 결과로부터 편파 및 공간 다이버시티가 실내 무선 통선 채널의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였 고, 특히 지향성 안테나를 이용한 편파 다이버시티를 제안하여 기존의 다이폴 안테나를 이용하는 다이버시티 기볍보다 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

In this paper, we show the robustness of a proposed system using both a frequency diversity and a time diversity effect when the channel assumptions are relaxed such that all sub-bands are not independent fading. We take time-repetition coding with interleaving such that the repetition code symbols are spaced sufficiently far apart to guarantee time diversity. We also incorporate offset multicarriers into a proposed multicarrier DS-CDMA system in a different way compared to that of [10] to reduce the total multiple access interference. When we take a convolutional encoder instead of a time-repetition encoder, and again use both time diversity and frequency offset, then we can obtain the significant performance gain.

In this paper, we investigate the effect of cooperative and selection relaying schemes on multiuser diversity in downlink cellular systems with fixed relay stations (RSs). Each mobile station (MS) is either directly connected to a base station (BS) and/or connected to a relay station. We first derive closed-form solutions or upper-bound of the ergodic and outage capacities of four different downlink data relaying schemes: A direct scheme, a relay scheme, a selection scheme, and a cooperative scheme. The selection scheme selects the best access link between the BS and an MS. For all schemes, the capacity of the BS-RS link is assumed to be always larger than that of RS-MS link. Half-duplex channel use and repetition based relaying schemes are assumed for relaying operations. We also analyze the system capacity in a multiuser diversity environment in which a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scheduler is used at a base station. The result shows that the selection scheme outperforms the other three schemes in terms of link ergodic capacity, link outage capacity, and system ergodic capacity. Furthermore, our results show that cooperative and selection diversity techniques limit the performance gain that could have been achieved by the multiuser diversity technique.

This paper proposes a miniaturized high-isolation diversity antenna for wearable wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. An inverted-F type radiating element is used to reduce the overall dimension of the proposed antenna to $30mm{\times}30mm{\times}2.5mm$. The antenna performance on the human body phantom is analyzed through simulation and the performance of the fabricated antenna is verified by comparing the measured data with that of the simulation when the antenna is placed on a semi-solid flat phantom with equivalent electrical properties of a human body. The fabricated antenna has a 10 dB return loss bandwidth over the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band from 2.35 GHz to 2.71 GHz and isolation is higher than 28 dB at 2.45 GHz. The measured peak gain of antenna elements # 1 and # 2 is -0.43 dBi and -0.54 dBi, respectively. Performance parameters are analyzed, including envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), mean effective gain (MEG), and the MEG ratio. In addition, the specific absorption ratio (SAR) distributions of the proposed antenna are measured for consideration in use.

이 논문에서는 다중 사용자 환경에서 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 빔 형성기와 결합된 space-time decoder를 가진 새로운 시스템 구조와 이 구조에 적합한 적응 빔 형성기법을 제안한다. MIMO-OFDM시스템에서 Nr 개의 안테나를 가진 수신기에 송신안테나 수(Nt)와 동일한 수의 빔 형성기를 설치함으로서 이 빔 형성기에 의해 CCI(cochannel interference)가 제거된 Nt개의 신호들이 출력되고 출력된 신호들은 space-time decoding 되어 diversity 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 CCI가 있는 다중 사용자 환경에서 제안된 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능은 크게 향상된다. MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 제안된 적응 빔 형성기법과 결합된 S-T coding기법을 적용할 경우 수렴특성과 성능 개선 효과를 모의 실험을 통하여 확인한다.

랜덤 빔 형성 기법은 정적인 채널에서 다중 사용자 다이버시티를 얻게 하지만, 사용자수에 따른 성능의 제약이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 송신단에서 다중 랜덤 빔을 형성하는 기법들이 소개되었다. 특히 코드북에 기반을 둔 랜덤 빔 형성 기법은 적은 파일럿 수로 다중 랜덤 빔을 형성한다. 그러나 그 기법은 채널특성에 따른 빔 디자인의 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다중 코드북을 교대로 이용하여 랜덤 빔을 형성하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 기존 기법에 비해 휠씬 용이하게 빔을 디자인하여 적은 파일럿을 이용하면서 다중 사용자 다이버시터 이득과 선택적 다이버시티 이득을 동시에 얻는다.

In this paper, we propose an intergraded unified imperfect CSI model and investigate the joined effects of feedback delay and channel estimation errors (CEE) for two-hop relaying systems with transmit beamforming and relay selection. We derived closed-form expressions for important performance measures including the exact analysis and lower bounds of outage probability as well as error performance. The ergodic capacity is also included with closed-form results. Furthermore, diversity and coding gains based on the asymptotic analysis at high SNRs are also presented, which are simple and concise and provide new analytical insights into the corresponding power allocation scheme. The analysis indicates that delay effect results in the coding gain loss and the diversity order loss, while CEE will merely cause the coding gain loss. Numerical results verify the theoretical analysis and illustrate the system is more sensitive to transmit beamforming delay compared with relay selection delay and also verify the superiority of optimum power allocation. We further investigate the outage loss due to the CEE and feedback delays, which indicates that the effect of the CEE is more influential at low-to-medium SNR, and then it will hand over the dominate role to the feedback delay.

Diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) characterizes the fundamental relationship between the diversity gain in terms of outage probability and the multiplexing gain as the normalized rate parameter r, where the limiting transmission rate is give by rlog SNR (here, SNR denote the received signal-to-noise ratio). In this paper, we analyze the DMT and performance of an underwater network with a cooperative relay. Since over an acoustic channel, the propagation delay is commonly considerably higher than the processing delay, the existing transmission protocols need to be explained accordingly. For this underwater network, we briefly describe two well-known relay transmissions: decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-forward (AF). As our main result, we then show that an instantaneous DF relay scheme achieves the same DMT curve as that of multiple-input single-output channels and thus guarantees the DMT optimality, while using an instantaneous AF relay leads at most only to the DMT for the direct transmission with no cooperation. To validate our analysis, computer simulations are performed in terms of outage probability.

본 논문에서는 패킷 기반 무선 전송 시스템에서 다중 사용자 이득과 다중화 이득을 동시에 얻을 수 있는 직교 다중빔 전송 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 직교 다중빔 전송 기법에서는 채널 환경에 상관없이 항상 송신 안테나 개수만큼의 빔을 생성하였다. 하지만 이 경우 사용자 수가 적은 환경에서 다른 사용자로부터의 간섭 신호 영향으로 인해 시스템 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 채널 상황에 따라 동적으로 빔의 개수를 조절하는 전송 기법에 대해 제안한다. 제안 기법은 채널의 상황에 따라 빔의 개수를 유동적으로 조절함으로써 사용자 수가 적은 환경에서도 높은 성능을 보장할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 기존 다중 직교 빔에 비해 성능 향상이 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates the error performance of the amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems in the context of full-duplex (FD) communication. In addition to the inherent self-interference (SI) due to simultaneous transmission and reception, coexistent FD terminals may cause crosstalk. In this paper, we utilize the information exchange via the crosstalk channel to construct a particular distributed space-time code (DSTC). The residual SI is also considered. Closed-form pairwise error probability (PEP) is first derived. Then we obtain the upper bound of PEP in high transmit power region to provide more insights of diversity and coding gain. The proposed DSTC scheme can attain full cooperative diversity if the variance of SI is not a function of the transmit power. The coding gain can be improved by lengthening the frame and proper power control. Feasibility and efficiency of the proposed DSTC are verified in numerical simulations.
