We propose a robust channel estimation method against imperfect synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) downlink systems. We address time and frequency synchronization, and the channel estimation at the same time, and try to minimize the error propagation from the time and frequency synchronization steps into the chailnel estimation. The simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation method outperforms the conventional algorithms by about 3dB, and circumvents the problem of mismatch among the synchronization tasks.

This paper presents a polyphase filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PF-OFDM) technique. The proposed structure uses a modified discrete Fourier transform (MDFT) transmultiplexer to achieve greater spectral efficiency than an OFDM system, while preserving backward compatibility with it. The prototype PF-OFDM filter has excellent time and frequency localization properties, which matte it possible to eliminate a guard interval (or cyclic prefix) and easily suppress interchannel interference (ICI). This modulation technique uses a single DFT structure, in contrast to a MDFT transmultiplexer, which requires two DFT polyphase filter banks. The PF-OFDM modulation is .justified over multipath Rayleigh fading channels.

In this paper, a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method for spatial modulation(SM) is presented. By using the matrix with all non-zero elements to precode the signals before transmitting, the transmit power is scattered over all transmit antennas for achieving the goal of PAPR reduction. If this matrix is also an unitary matrix, the distribution of transmit power over transmit antennas will be uniform and it also could retain the characteristic of avoiding inter channel interference (ICI) due to the orthogonality of unitary matrix. In case of a non-ideal amplifier, the proposed method can produce a considerable improvement that increases with a number of transmit antennas in performance. Furthermore, the new scheme achieves an identical performance with conventional one in the case of ideal amplifier.

A recent dynamic increase in demand for wireless multimedia services has greatly accelerated the research on dynamic channel adaptation of high quality video applications. In this paper, we explore a theoretical approach to cross-layer optimization between multimedia and wireless networks by means of a quality criterion termed "visual throughput" for downlink video transmission using a layered coding algorithm. We obtain the optimal loading ratio of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) subcarriers through an optimization problem balancing the trade-off relationship between inter-cell interference (ICI) and channel throughput. In the simulation, we show that the visual throughput gain at the cell boundary is increased by about 32%.

In this paper, an efficient time domain equalization algorithm for discrete wavelet multitone(DWMT) data transmission is developed. In this algorithm, the time domain equalizer(TEQ) consists of two stages, i.e., the channel impulse response shortening equalizer(TEQ-S) in the first stage and the channel frequency flattening equalizer(TEQ-F) in the second stage. TEQ-S reduces the length of transmission channel impulse response to decrease intersymbol interference(ISI) followed by TEQ-F that enhances the channel frequency response characteristics to the level of an ideal channel, hence diminishes the bit error rate. TEQ-S is implemented using the least-squares(LS) method, while TEQ-F is designed by using the least mean-square(LMS) algorithm. Since DWMT system also requires of the frequency domain equalizer in order to further reduce ICI and ISI the hardware complexity is an another concern. However, by adopting an well designed and trained TEQ, the hardware complexity of the whole DWMT system can be greatly reduced.

Doubly-selective channel estimator for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems is proposed in this paper. Based on the generalized complex exponential basis expansion model(GCE-BEM), we describe the time-variant channel with time-invariant coefficients over multiple OFDM blocks. The time variation of the channel destroys the orthogonality between subcarriers, and the resulting channel matrix in the frequency domain is no longer diagonal, but the main interference comes from the near subcarriers. Based on this, we propose a channel estimator with low pilot ratio. We first develop a least-square(LS) estimator under the assumption that only the maximum Doppler frequency and the channel order are known at the receiver, and then verify that the correlation matrix of inter-channel interference(ICI) is a scaled identity matrix based on which we derive an optimal pilot insertion scheme for the LS estimator in the sense of minimum mean square error. The proposed estimator has the advantages of low pilot ratio and robustness against inter-carrier interference.

이 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing : OFDM) 시스템의 수신기에서 발생하는 다중 주파수 옵셋의 영향을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 다중 주파수 옵셋은 서로 다른 송신기로부터 동일한 신호를 수신할 때, 두 송신기의 발진 주파수가 서로 다르기 때문에 발생한다. 광대역 전송 시스템의 변복조 방식으로 널리 사용하고 있는 OFDM 방식은 대역효율이 높고 채널 추정이 간단하다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 OFDM 방식은 주파수 옵셋에 매우 민감 하다는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 시간 영역에서의 1차적인 주파수 보정과 주파수 영역에서의 2차적인 채널간 간섭 제거방법을 적용하여 다중주파수 옵셋에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안한다.

천연 섬유 중에서도 섬유소 섬유는 그 우수한 물성 때문에 널리 이용되고 있다. 특히, 천연 cellulose 섬유는 내의류에서 out-wear는 물론 커튼, 침구류 등 우리 일상생활 주변에 가장 가까이 필수적으로 이용되고 있다. 우리는 이 cellulose 섬유에 고부가가치 제품을 만들기 위하여 여러 종류의 염료를 사용하여 선명한 색상과 견뢰도가 우수한 염색을 하고 여러가지 물리적, 화학적 가공을 통하여 다양한 기능성을 부여하고 환경과 건강을 위한 가공을 함으로서 사람들의 욕구를 충족시키고 있다. 여기에서는 반응성 염료의 기초이론과 실제에 대하여 논하고져 한다. 1956년 영국의 ICI사가 개발한 최초의 반응성 염료인 Procion MX염료가 시판된 이래 현재는 수많은 종류의 반응성 염료가 세계 각국에서 개발되어 왔으며, 최근 우리나라에서도 4∼5개 사의 반응성 염료 Marker들이 선진국 제품에 전혀 손색이 없는 품질을 생산 공급하고 있으며 그 수요도 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다.

In the wide variety of radio propagation channel models, frequency selective fading which from multipath waves and diversity noises, electric and electronic devices ...etc in our environment, change characteristics of the sub channels in the wide bandwidth. so orthogonality among the OFDM subcarriers would be distorted and ICI(Inter Channel Interference), ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) be generated. This paper investigate BER characteristics of the OFDM System using Subband Grouping Method which adopted different channel modulation for each subband.

In this paper we propose an efficient implementation technique for cyclic extension in VDSL(Very High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) systems using Zipper duplexing and analyze its performances under typical telephone channel environments. In Zipper-based VDSL systems each DTM(discrete-multitone) block is appended by both cyclic prefix(CP) and cyclic suffix(CS). The CP is inserte to prevent both intersymbol interference (ISI) and iterchannel interference (ICI) while the CS is appended to ensure orthogonality between the upstream and downstream carriers thus preventing near-end crosstalk (NEXT). However in order to implement the CP in the transmitter side of the VDSL system an additional hardware is required to append the latter part of each DMT symbol to the beginning of the DMT symbol. In this paper we propose a VDSL system with Zipper duplexing using only CS to reduce hardware complexity (memory and processing delay) required for implementation of CP. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed approach has the same capacity under typical channel environments as the previous Zipper-based VDSL system using both CP and CS. even with a significantly lower hardware complexity.
