In this paper, we propose a new rate-control scheme, called splining, to construct low-rate codes from high-rate codes by splitting rows of the parity-check matrices of LDPC codes, which can construct rate-compatible LDPC codes having good initial transmission performance. Good low-rate codes can be constructed by making the number of distinct check node degrees as small as possible after splitting. The proposed scheme achieves good cycle property, low decoding complexity, and fast convergence speed, especially compared to the puncturing. Especially, rate-compatible repeat accumulate-type LDPC (RA-Type LDPC) code is constructed using splitting, which covers the code rates from 1/3 to 4/5. Through simulation it is shown that this code outperforms other rate-compatible RA-Type LDPC codes for all rates and can be decoded conveniently and efficiently.

인터넷을 기반으로 한 고품질 오디오 스트리밍 서비스를 위하여 오디오 데이터 전송 시 발생되는 품질의 열화를 극복하여 고품질의 오디오 재생이 가능한 QoS 보장기법을 제안한다. 오디오 데이터는 연속성과 시간제약성을 가지고 있기 때문에 전송 시 통신망의 상황에 따라 그 재생품질이 결정된다. 이때 필요한 QoS 보장 기법으로 통신망의 상황에 따라 동적으로 전송률을 가변시키고 ARQ에 의한 재전송 방식과 동적 버퍼 제어기법을 복합적으로 적용하는 기법을 보인다. 클라이언트 내의 오디오 데이터 버퍼를 현재 망 상황에 따라 제어함으로서 재전송에 필요한 시간을 확보하고, 전송률도 함께 연동 조정하여 재전송에 따른 전송률 저하 현상을 방지한다. 동적인 클라이언트 버퍼/전송률 제어에 필요한 파라미터는 현재 통신망에서의 UDP 패킷 에러율과 왕복시간 이다. 실제 인터넷 환경에서 위 복합적 QoS 보장기법을 적용하여 고품질로 재생되는 오디오 스트리밍 서비스의 성능을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 무선 홈네트워킹 시스템으로 대두되고 있는 Wireless LAN(802.11), HomeRF, Bluetooth 성능을 간섭이 고려되지 않는 경우의 실내 무선 환경하에서 시스템의 변조 방식만을 고려하였으며 실내환경에서 발생되는 에러에 대한 제어 기술로 Truncated Type-B Hybrid ARQ를 적용하였다. 무선 홈네트워킹 시스템의 채널 수 및 주파수 대역은 동일하며 실내 무선 환경을 라이시안 페이딩 환경으로 고려하였을 경우, 직직접파 대 반사파 전력비(K)가 6[dB]인 라이시안 페이딩 환경하에서 오율 $10^{-3}$을 기준으로 할 때 2FSK가 DQPSK보다는 E$_{b}$ /N$_{o}$ 가 약 3[dB] 정도 우수하며 오율 $10^{-6}$을 기준으로 비교하여 보면, DPSK 방식이 4FSK 보다 약 E$_{b}$ /N$_{o}$ 가 5[dB] 우수하였다. 또한 K=6인 라이시안 환경하에서 변조 방식만을 고려한 경우보다 성능 개선 기법을 채용한 무선 홈네트워킹 시스템의 E$_{b}$ /N$_{o}$ 가 더 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an overview of position-based routing algorithms. We analyze performances of routing algorithms such as Hybrid Opportunistic Forwarding (HOF), Opportunistic multi-hop routing (ExOR), Location based Geocasting and Forwarding (LGF), and Greedy Forwarding in nearest with forward Progress (GFP) routing algorithms to find the best one in terms of packet error rate and throughput efficiency over effects of fading and noise variance in wireless networks. The analyses in closed form expressions are confirmed by the simulation results, which fully agree to analysis results. Additionally, the simulation results indicate significant differences among algorithms when varying the average SNR or the number of relays.

In wireless network environments, wireless channels are characterized by time-varying fading and interference conditions, which may lead to burst packet corruptions and delay variation. This can cause severe quality degradation of streaming media. To guarantee successful transmission of media over the hostile wireless networks, where channel conditions are highly fluctuating, a flexible and network-adaptive transport method is required. Thus, we propose a network-adaptive transport error control consisting of packet-level interleaved FEC and delay-constrained ARQ, which acts as an application-level transport method of streaming media to alleviate burst packet losses while adapting to the changing channel condition in wireless networks. The performances of the proposed network-adaptive transport error control, general error control schemes, and hybrid schemes are evaluated by a developed simulator at the transport-level and video quality of streaming media. Simulation results show that the proposed mechanism provides the best overall performance among compared other schemes in terms of the transport-level performance of error control and the performance of video quality for streaming media.

In this paper, we propose a MIMO-OFDMA (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) system based on beamforming for performance improvement of downlink real-time traffic transmission in harsh channel conditions with low CIR (Carrier-to-Interference Ratio). In the proposed system, we first consider the M-GTA-SBA (Modified-Grouped Transmit Antenna-Simple Bit Allocation) using effective CSI (Channel State Information) calculation procedure based on spatial resource grouping, which is adequate for the combination of MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) in the transmitter and MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) in the receiver. In addition, to reduce feedback information for the beamforming, we also apply QEGT (Quantized Equal Gain Transmission) based on quantization of amplitudes and phases of beam weights. Furthermore, considering multi-user environments, we propose the P-SRA (Proposed-Simple Resource Allocation) algorithm for fair and efficient resource allocation. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MIMO-OFDMA system achieves significant improvement of spectral efficiency in low CRI region as compared to a typical open-loop MIMO-OFDMA system using pseudo-orthogonal space time block code and H-ARQ IR (Hybrid-Automatic Repeat Request Incremental Redundancy).

For better performance over a noisy channel, mobile wireless networks transmit packets with forward error correction (FEC) code to recover corrupt bits without retransmission. The static determination of the FEC code size, however, degrades their performance since the evaluation of the underlying channel state is hardly accurate and even widely varied. Our measurements over a wireless sensor network, for example, show that the average bit error rate (BER) per second or per minute continuously changes from 0 up to $10^{-3}$. Under this environment, wireless networks waste their bandwidth since they can't deterministically select the appropriate size of FEC code matching to the fluctuating channel BER. This paper proposes an adaptive FEC technique called adaptive FEC code control (AFECCC), which dynamically tunes the amount of FEC code per packet based on the arrival of acknowl­edgement packets without any specific information such as signal to noise ratio (SNR) or BER from receivers. Our simulation experiments indicate that AFECCC performs better than any static FEC algorithm and some conventional dynamic hybrid FEC/ARQ algorithms when wireless channels are modeled with two-state Markov chain, chaotic map, and traces collected from real sensor networks. Finally, AFECCC implemented in sensor motes achieves better performance than any static FEC algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an efficient symbol mapping method based on LLR (log-likelihood ratio) statistic for HARQ employing CoRe (constellation rearrangement) with 64QAM. The signal constellations for 64QAM with limited number of retransmissions are selected by the proposed mapping rule. Then we determine the transmission order of selected constellations. The proposed scheme reduces the performance deviation between transmit symbols so as to improve the system performance. Through simulation results, the proposed and existing CoRe mapping methods are compared with respect to error rate and throughput in MIMO-OFDM system over fading channel and we confirm the applicability of the proposed scheme in practical wireless communications environment.

The cdma2000 lxEV - DO mobile communication system provides broadcast and multicast services (BCMCS) to meet an increasing demand from multimedia data services. The servicing of video streams over a BCMCS network must, however, face a challenge from the unreliable and error-prone nature of the radio channel. The BCMCS network uses Reed-Solomon coding integrated with the MAC protocol for error recovery. We analyze this coding technique and show that it is not effective in the case of slowly moving mobiles. To improve the playback quality of an MPEG-4 FGS video stream, we propose the Hybrid error recovery scheme, which combines Reed-Solomon with ARQ, using slots which are saved by reducing the Reed-Solomon coding overhead. The target packets to be retransmitted are prioritized by a utility function to reduce the packet error rate in the application layer within a fixed retransmission budget. This is achieved by considering of the map of the error control block at each mobile node. The proposed Hybrid error recovery scheme also uses the characteristics of MPEG-4 FGS (fine granularity scalability) to improve the video quality even when conditions are adverse: slow-moving nodes and a high error rate in the physical channel.

The wireless communication system adopts an appropriate retransmission scheme on each system protocol layer to improve reliability of data transmission. In each system protocol layer, the retransmission scheme operates in independently other layers and operates based on the parameters without reference to end-to-end performance of wireless communication system. For this reason, it is difficult to design the optimal system parameters that satisfy the QoS requirements for each service class. Thus, the performance analysis of wireless communication system is needed to design the optimal system parameters according to the end-to-end QoS requirements for each service class. In this paper, we derive the mathematical model to formulate the end-to-end performance of wireless communication system. We also evaluate the performance at the MAC and transport layers in terms of average spectral efficiency and average transmission delay. Based on the results of performance evaluations, we design the optimal system parameters according to the QoS requirements of service classes. From the results, the HARQ combined with AMC is appropriate for the delay-sensitive service and the ARQ combined with AMC is appropriate for a service that is insensitive to transmission delay. Also, the TCP can be applied for the delay-insensitive service only.
