In this paper, we propose a rapid and reliable signal acquisition scheme for UWB (Ultra Wide Band) systems in typical indoor wireless channels. The proposed scheme is a two-step search with different thresholds and search window applied to a single correlator, where each step utilizes the single-dwell search with the bit reversal. Simulation results in IEEE 802. I5 Task Group .3a UWB indoor wireless channel show that the proposed scheme for the LHWB signals can achieve significant reduction of the required mean acquisition time as compared to the conventional single-dwell bit reversal search and double-dwell bit reversal search with more complex structure employing two correlators for various threshold levels. In addition, it is also observed that the proposed scheme can achieve much faster and reliable signal acquisition in noisy environments.

Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) uses traditional TCP for reliable data transmission, But it brings the unintentional packet loss which is not congestion loss caused by handoff, interference, and fading in wireless LAN. In wireless LAN, TCP experiences performance degradation because it consumes that the cause of packet loss is congestion, and it decrease the sending rate by activating congestion control algorithm. This paper analyzes that correlation of throughput and buffer size for wireless buffer tuning. We find MBT (Maximum Buffer Threshold) which does not increase the throughput through the analysis, For calculation of MBT, we experiment the throughput by using high volume music data which is creased by real-time performance of piano. The experiment results is shown that buffer tuing based on MBT shows 20.3%, 21.4%, and 45.4% throughput improvement under 5ms RTT, 10ms RTT, and 20ms RTT, respectively, comparing with the throughput of operation system default buffer size, In addition, we describe that The setting of TCP buffer size by exceeding MBT does not have an effect on the performance of TCP.

In this paper, a low-power 2.4 GHz front-end for sensor network application (IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN) is designed in a 0.18 um CMOS process. A power supply circuit with a novel temperature-compensation scheme is presented. The simulation and measurement results show that the front-end (LNA, Mixer) can achieve a voltage gain of 35.3 dB and a noise figure(NF) of 3.1 dB while consuming 5.04 mW (LNA: 2.16 mW, Mixer: 2.88 mW) of power at $27^{\circ}C$. The NF includes the loss of BALUN and BPF. The low-IF architecture is used. The voltage gain, noise figure and third-order intercept point (IIP3) variations over -45$^{\circ}C$ to 85$^{\circ}C$ are less than 0.2 dB, 0.25 dB and 1.5 dB, respectively.

For the size reduction, we propose a microstrip-fed monopole antenna with half X-slot in the radiation patch and cover WLAN dual band 2.4 GHz band (2.4 ~ 2.484 GHz) and 5 GHz band (5.15 ~ 5.825 GHz). The frequency characteristics such as impedance bandwidth and resonant frequencies were satisfied by optimizing the numerical values of various parameters, while the reflection loss in 5 GHz was improved by using defected ground structure (DGS). The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on a FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm, and size of $24{\times}41mm^2$. The measured impedance bandwidths (${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$) of fabricated antenna are 450 MHz (2.27 ~ 2.72 GHz) in 2.4 GHz band and 1340 MHz (4.79 ~ 6.13 GHz) in 5 GHz band which sufficiently satisfied with the IEEE 802. 11n standard in dual band. In particular, radiation patterns which are stable as well as relatively omni-direction could be obtained, and the gain of antennas in each band was 1.31 and 1.98 dBi respectively.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of UWB(Ultra-WideBand) communication system employing Bi-phase modulation and RAKE Receiver under the MAI(Multiple Access Interference) and the OSI(Other System Interference) environment. Using the multi-path channel model recommended by IEEE P802.15.TG3a, the performance degradation Is described with the number of users, the number of RAKE fingers and training sequences. To meet BER 10e-4 for 20 users at the same time, the number of RAKE fingers are proposed from 3 to 32. And the number of training sequences are limited less than 8 to keep the channel estimation error within 3dB

Recently, there is an increasing demand for ultra-low-latency (ULL) services such as factory automation, autonomous driving, and telesurgery that must meet an end-to-end latency of less than 10 ms. Fifth-generation (5G) New Radio guarantees 0.5 ms one-way latency, so the feasibility of ULL services is higher than in previous mobile communications. However, this feasibility ensures performance at the radio access network level and requires an innovative 5G network architecture for end-to-end ULL across the entire 5G system. Hence, we survey in detailed two the 3rd Generation Partnership Party (3GPP) standardization activities to ensure low latency at network level. 3GPP standardizes mobile edge computing (MEC), a low-latency solution at the edge network, in Release 15/16 and is standardizing time-sensitive communication in Release 16/17 for interworking 5G systems and IEEE 802.1 time-sensitive networking (TSN), a next-generation industry technology for ensuring low/deterministic latency. We developed a 5G system based on 3GPP Release 15 to support MEC with a potential sub-10 ms end-to-end latency in the edge network. In the near future, to provide ULL services in the external network of a 5G system, we suggest a 5G-IEEE TSN interworking system based on 3GPP Release 16/17 that meets an end-to-end latency of 2 ms.

This paper proposes an architecture of channel estimation for multi-band OFDM UWB systems presented to IEEE 802.15.3a by Multi-band OFDM alliance(MBOA). The multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) systems should have channel estimation for compensation of signal distortion by multi-band channel. The moving-averaging estimation algorithm and multi-band equalization architecture for MB-OFDM UWB systems proposed in this paper was verified by the simulation. Simulation results show that MB-OFDM system with the proposed architecture have the performance improved by about 3.4 dB compared to system with no channel estimation in 0.1$\pi$ phase-rotated channel.

WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)은 인체를 기준으로 하여 인체내부 및 인체로부터3미터 이내의 무선통신으로 정의하고 있다. 이에따라 WBAN은 현재 다양한 용도로 응용되고 있는데 크게 분류하면 의료용과 비의료용 무선기기로 구분할 수 있다. 즉 가전기기(Comsumer Electronics)들간 의 통신을 목적으로 하는 비의료용 분야와 인체내부에 이식되어 인체내부의 건강상태에 대한 모니터링이나 인체에 이상이 발생시 대처해 주는 인체이식형 무선기기와 인체외부 3미터 이내에서 의료용 sensor로부터 송수신하는 인체외부 기기로 구분할 수 있다. IEEE802.15.6에서 2006년 하반기부터 WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)시스템에 대한 표준화를 진행하고 있으며, 2008년도에는 표준 제안서를 각국에서 받아 2009년도에 완료할 예정에 있다. 본 고에서는 기존 WBAN으로 사용하고 있던 무선장비들에 대한 각국의 인체내부와 외부의 주파수 분배동향을 분석한 후 WBAN표준화시 대두될 PHY/MODEM/MAC제안에 결정적 영향을 미치는 WBAN의 주파수에 대한 방향을 제시하였다.

IEEE802.15.4a, which is started to realize the PHY layer including high precision ranging/positioning and low data rate communication functions, requires a simple and low power consumable transceiver architecture. To satisfy this requirements, the simple noncoherent on-off keying (OOK) UWB transceiver with the parallel energy window banks (PEWB) giving high precision signal processing interface is proposed. The flexibility of the proposed system in multipath fading channel environments is acquired with the pulse and bit repetition method. To analyze the bit error rate (BER) performance of this proposed system, a noise model in receiver is derived with commonly used random variable distribution, chi-square. BER of $10^{-5}$ under the line-of-sight (LOS) residential channel is achieved with the integration time of 32 ns and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 15.3 dB. For the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) outdoor channel, the integration time of 72 ns and SNR of 16.2 dB are needed. The integrated energy to total received energy (IRR) for the best BER performance is about $86\%$.
