In this paper, we analyze and simulate performance of space time block coded (STBC) binary pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (BPAM-DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems with double binary turbo code in indoor environments for various ubiquitous healthcare (u-healthcare) applications. Indoor wireless channel is modeled as a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model proposed as a UWB indoor channel model by the IEEE 802.15.SG3a in July 2003. In the STBC encoding process, an Alamouti algorithm for real-valued signals is employed because UWB signals have the type of real signal constellation. It is assumed that the transmitter has knowledge about channel state information. From simulation results, it is shown that the STBC scheme does not have an influence on improving bit error probability performance of the BPAM-DS UWB systems. It is also confirmed that the results of this paper can be applicable for u-healthcare applications.

전 세계적으로 유헬스 서비스에 대한 관심도가 증가함에 따라 유헬스의 핵심기술 가운데 하나인 무선통신기반의 생체신호 전송기술에 대한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 2000년대부터 시작하여 이미 많은 연구가 진행되어 온 WPAN에서는 Zigbee, Bluetooth, UWB 등의 무선대역을 통하여 생체 신호를 전송하는 연구가 상당히 진행되어 왔으며, 최근에는 IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN에서 MICS, WMTS등과 같은 무선대역을 이용하여 생체신호를 전송하기 위한 연구를 새로이 진행하고 있다. 특히 WLAN이 무선통신기술에 있어 1세대라 하고, WPAN이 2세대라 한다면 WBAN은 3세대 무선통신기술이라고 할 만큼 새로운 시장을 형성할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 고에서는 기존의 WPAN과 최근에 이슈가 되고 있는 WBAN의 무선기술을 통해 생체신호를 전송하기 위한 기술을 분석하고 향후 연구해야 할 내용에 대해 언급하기로 한다.

In this paper, it is studied on wide radiating slot antenna's miniaturization for ultra wide-band(UWB) technologies and notch structure to prevent interference between UWB systems and existing wireless systems for using Wi-Fi service of IEEE standards 802.11 a/n. Proposed antenna that wide slot is decreased from $\lambda/2$ to $\lambda/4$ length of resonant frequency has decreased by 72 % compared with conventional antenna. And optimized T-shaped CPW-fed stub has satisfied UWB bandwidth for 3.0~11.8 GHz. Then, creating 2-order Hilbert curve slot line in the stub's patch area, 4.9~5.6 GHz that centered frequency is 5 GHz is eliminated. Finally, the designed antenna constructed on FR4-epoxy has $20{\times}15\;mm^2$ dimension. The measured results that are obtained return loss under -10 dB through 3.2~11.8 GHz without Wi-Fi bandwidth, a linear phase characteristic, a stable group delay, and omnidirectional radiation patterns are presented.

The high-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) which IEEE 802.15.3 standard support, foster the Digital Home Network (DHN) scenarios with high rate multimedia data transmission. Actually, there are a few routing protocols for ad-hoc networks which considered the terminal location information and routing metric to reduce the energy consumption and optimize the routing path in mobile system. Based on other routing protocols, this paper presents the reliable location-based routing algorithm which is an adaptation to these networks.

This paper presents an analysis of resource assignment for multihop communications in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) wireless personal area networks. The purpose of this paper is to figure out the effect of using directional antennas and relaying devices (DEVs) in communications. The analysis is performed based on a grouping algorithm, categorization of the flows, and the relaying DEV selection policy. Three schemes are compared: direct and relaying concurrent transmission (DRCT), direct concurrent transmission (DCT), and direct nonconcurrent transmission (DNCT). Numerical results show that DRCT is better than DCT and DCT is better than DNCT for any antenna beamwidths under the proposed algorithm and policy. The results also show that using relaying DEVs increases the throughput up to 30% and that there is an optimal beamwidth that maximizes spatial reuse and depends on parameters such as the number of flows in the networks. This analysis can provide guidelines for improving the performance of mm-wave band communications with relaying DEVs.

This paper describes and analyzes the performance of MB-OFDM (Multi-Band OFDM) technology that is suggested as one of standards in IEEE 802.15 TG3a for uwb application. Also the performance of newly proposed SFBC MB-OFDM scheme is compared with that of conventional MB-OFDM system in this paper. Simulation results show that SFBC MB-OFDM system outperforms conventional MB-OFDM system about 1.5dB Eb/No at target BER of $10^{-4}$.
