An OFDM/offset QAM (OQAM)-IOTA system uses the isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) function, which has good localization properties in the time and frequency domains. This is employed instead of the guard interval used in a conventional OFDM/QAM system in order to be robust for multi-path channels. However, the conventional channel estimation scheme is not valid for an OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system due to the intrinsic inter-symbol interference of the IOTA function. In this paper, a condition is derived to reduce the intrinsic interference of the IOTA function. This condition is obtained with the proposed pilot structure used for perfect channel estimation. We also derive the preamble structure appropriate for practical channel estimation of the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system. Simulation results show that the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system with the proposed preamble structure performs better than the conventional OFDM system, and it has the additional advantage of an increased data transmission rate which corresponds to the guard interval retrieval.

The orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is well known to be robust against the frequency-selective fading in wireless channels. It is due to the exploitation of a guard interval that is inserted at beginning of each OFDM symbol. Based on the conventional OFDM and a polyphase filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PF-OFDM) technique, we developed an adaptive beamforming algorithm for antenna arrays. The proposed algorithm would lead to an efficient use of channel, since it is possible to eliminate a guard interval and also easily suppress interchannel interference at the same time. In this paper, a series of computer simulations have been provided to show the performance of the proposed system.

This paper presents the measured signal performances in the urban environment for the DVB-H parameters such as code rate, burst size, FFT mode and modulation technique to analyze the DVB-H signal performance avaible for the embodiment of single frequency network to improve the frequency efficiency. Measurements were performed for the case for applying and non-applying MPE-FEC technique simultaneously. Results show that the most outstanding performance are found in the case of QPSK modulation, 1/2 code rate, 2 k FFT mode and 512 burst size. In addition, the signal performance by the SFN with 1/8 guard interval becomes superiour in comparision with the measured data from each site and the data from SFN with 1/32 guard interval. The analysis of the results can be instructive for the improvement of the signal performance and broadcasting quality for the terrestrial digital mobile broadcasting service.

Although conventional OFDM/QAM modulation scheme using guard interval is robust to channel induced ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) in time-domain, it is very sensitive to ICI (Inter-Carrier Interference) due to doppler effect in frequency domain. OFDM/OQAM-IOTA modulation scheme utilizes IOTA (Isotropic Orthogonal Transform Algorithm) filter that has orthogonality in time and frequency domain so that it is robust to delay spread and doppler effect. OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system can increase bandwidth effeciency since it does not use guard interval. In this paper, we show the structure of OFDM/OQAM-IOTA and perfect channel estimation scheme for OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system. We also compare OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system and OFDM/QAM system in AWGN and 1-path Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results show that OFDM/OQAM system outperforms OFDM/QAM system.

In this paper, we propose an interference cancellation(IC) scheme using a partial Rake(PRAKE) combining in ultra-wideband(UWB) multipath fading channels. In this IC scheme, differently from the conventional transmitter model, which employs a guard interval between each frame, the guard interval is employed between each slot for estimating the multiple access interference(MAI). The UWB systems using the proposed IC scheme have little performance degradation without regard to the number of user, while the conventional UWB systems have a significant performance degradation according to the number of user. In order to reduce the receiver complexity, the PRAKE combining of post-canceled signal and the partial user IC scheme are also proposed.

We studied the performance of a two-user time reversal multiple input single output scheme combined with the shifted transmission technique in a variable rate back-off scenario, called shifted time reversal (TR), that minimizes both intersymbol interference and multiuser interference. We compare the bit error rate performance of the shifted TR scheme to both full-rate TR and full back-off TR schemes and demonstrate its superiority to shifted zero forcing scheme when the guard interval is larger than one.

In a frequency selective fading channel, Pre-Rake diversity technique provides simple receiver structure and sufficient diversity effect for mobile terminals. However, conventional Pre-Rake systems are more severely affected than Rake systems with regard to multiple access interference since the number of multipaths received at the mobile unit is nearly twice that of the Rake systems. In order to overcome the problem, a Pre-Rake TDD-CDMA system using zero correlation duration (ZCD) spreading code is proposed. Modified ZCD codes including guard interval (GI) is also proposed and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation under the condition of various channel environment.

In this study changes in biorhythm are observed by measuring heart rate variabilities in order to verify, compare, and evaluate stresses in guard duties of guards and CCTV monitoring works of staffs serviced in practical guard sites. Guard duties and CCTV monitoring works similar to a practical situation are implemented for nine students in the department of security at K University over 150 minutes. In the results of observing heart rate variabilities and autonomic function tests for six times with an interval of 30 minutes, the heart rate variability (HRV) in CCTV monitoring works represents lower levels than that of guard duties. Also, in a stable condition the guard duties for 30 and 60 minutes exhibit lower levels than that of 90, 120, and 150 minutes. Regarding SDNN, CCTV monitoring works show higher levels that guard duties and the guard duties for 30 and 60 minutes represent lower levels than that of 150 minutes. In autonomic function tests, there are no differences in TP between groups according to guard duties and CCTV monitoring works. Also, the guard duties for 150 minutes represent more differences in TP compared to that of 30 minutes. The interaction between the duty type and the duty duration is presented. In the case of LF, guard duties for 150 minutes show large differences in duty duration compared to that of 60 minutes. In the case of HF, the CCTV monitoring work group shows higher levels than the guard duty group in which the guard duties for 120 and 150 minutes represent higher levels than that of 30 minutes. The interaction between the duty type and the duty duration is presented. In the case of the LF/HF ratio, the guard duty group exhibits higher levels than the CCTV monitoring group. Also, there is an interaction between the duty type and the duty duration including the difference in durations. The CCTV monitoring works represent lower heart function activities than the guard duties according to increases in parasympathetic nervous activities. It shows that the long-term CCTV monitoring duty repeated everyday shows a high possibility of increasing the exposures of VDT syndrome and nervous breakdown.

OFDM/OQAM(Offset QAM)-IOTA system requires the IOTA(Isotropic Orthogonal Transform Algorithm) function that has superior localization property in time and frequency domain instead of guard interval used for conventional OFDM/QAM system to be robust to multipath channel. Therefore, OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system has more spectral efficiency than conventional OFDM/QAM system. But, when channel estimation scheme for conventional OFDM/QAM system is applied straightforwardly to OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system, an intrinsic Inter- symbol-Interference is observed. So suitable preamble structure for the channel estimation scheme of OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system is required. In this paper, we propose a new preamble structure that is appropriate to OPDM/OQAM-IOTA system and then perform ideal channel estimation and practical channel estimation in low-to-medium mobile speed and compare them with conventional OFDM/QAM system. Simulation results show that OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system with proposed preamble structure has 1.5 dB Eb/NO gain on Target BER $10^{-3}$ and about $25\%$ transmission rate gain against the conventional OFDM/QAM system considering quarter of FFT size as guard interval size.

OFDM 시스템은 부반송파의 직교성을 이용하는 특징으로 인하여 신호치 시간동기 및 주파수동기가 맞지 않은 경우 수신신호를 정확히 복조하기가 거의 불가능하다. 보호구간(Guard Interval)은 신호의 데이터 구간 일부분을 복사하여 심볼의 앞에 추가하는 CP(Cyolic Prefix)방식을 사용하고 있으며, 채널에서 발생하는 ISI(InterSymbol Interference)를 흡수하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문에서는 시간동기에 사용되어지는 보호구간을 여러 부구간으로 나눈 후, 이를 이용하여 심볼 타이밍 동기를 추정하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 성능의 손실없이 많은 계산량을 줄이는 방법으로서 수신기의 구조를 단순화시킬 수 있다. 여러 채널 환경에서의 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 방법과 기존의 방법을 비교하였다.
