In this paper, we investigate the performance of Signal to Leakage and Noise Radio (SLNR) based user scheduling in uplink of multi-cell with large-scale antenna system. Large antenna array is desired to improve the performance in future system by providing better beamforming capability. However, some studies have found that the signal channel is 'hardened' (becomes invariant) when the antenna number goes extremely large, which implies that the signal channel aware user scheduling may have no gain at all. With the mathematic tool of order statistics, we analyzed the signal and interference terms of SLNR in a homogeneous multicell network. The derived distribution function of signal and interference shows that the leakage channel's variance is much more influential than the signal channel's variance in large-scale antenna regime. So even though the signal channel is hardened, the SLNR-based scheduling can achieve remarkable multiuser diversity (MUD) gain due to the fluctuation of the uplink leakage channel. By providing the final SINR distribution, we verify that the SLNR-based scheduling can leverage MUD in a better way than the signal channel based scheduling. The Monte Carlo simulations show that the throughput gain of SLNR-based scheduling over signal channel based scheduling is significant.

The antenna transmits and receives signals has a number of electronics that generate heat. For cooling, four fans and airways circulate air inside the antenna-equipped housing to exchange heat from the cooling plate assembly. In this study, fluid analysis was conducted to assess the suitability of the cooling system. The electronic components of the antenna exhibited temperature values lower than the maximum operating temperature of the components, which showed that the cooling system for the antenna had sufficient performance.

The antenna is mounted on the vehicle and operated, so its components must be able to withstand the shock that may occur while driving. In this study, the stability of antenna mounted on the vehicle is verified through the connection between modal analysis and transient analysis. The shock data used was taken from MIL-STD-810H, METHOD 516.8. As a result of the analysis of antenna, the maximum equivalent stress 169.49MPa and minimum margin of safety 2.31 has occurred on the bracket of antenna. Thus, it was found that the antenna has enough stability during the operation.

In this study, we developed a co-located and space-shared multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna module with a modular design and high integration level. The proposed antenna pair includes a half-wavelength loop antenna and a dipole-type antenna printed on the front and back sides of a compact modular board. Owing to their modal orthogonality, these two independent antenna elements are highly self-isolated and free of additional decoupling components, even though they are assembled at the same location and within the same space. Thus, the proposed antenna is attractive in 5G MIMO systems. Furthermore, the proposed co-located and space-shared MIMO antenna module was employed in a 5G smartphone to verify their radiation and diversity performances. A 12 × 12 MIMO antenna system was simulated and fabricated using the proposed module. Based on the results, the proposed module can be employed in large-scale MIMO antenna systems for current and future terminal devices owing to its high integration, compactness, simple implementation, and inherent isolation.

As wireless power transfer (WPT) technology using strongly coupled electromagnetic resonators is a recently explored technique to realize the large power delivery and storage without any cable or wire, this technique is required for diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) since it makes possible a convenient charging system. Typically, since the normal conducting coils are used as a transmitting coil in the CPT system, there is limited to deliver the large power promptly in the contactless EV charging system. From this reason, we proposed the combination CPT technology with HTS transmitting antenna, it is called as, superconducting contactless power transfer for EV (SUWPT4EV) system. As the HTS coil has an enough current density, it can deliver a mass amount of electric energy in spite of a small scale antenna. The SUCPT4EV system has been expected as a noble option to improve the transfer efficiency of large electric power. Such a system consists of two resonator coils; HTS transmitting antenna (Tx) coil and normal conducting receiver (Rx) coil. Especially, the impedance matching for each resonator is a sensitive and plays an important role to improve transfer efficiency as well as delivery distance. In this study, we examined the improvement of transmission efficiency and properties for HTS and copper antennas, respectively, within 45 cm distance. Thus, we obtained improved transfer efficiency with HTS antenna over 15% compared with copper antenna. In addition, we achieved effective impedance matching conditions between HTS antenna and copper receiver at radio frequency (RF) power of 370 kHz.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication may provide high spectral efficiency through the deployment of a very large number of antenna elements at the base stations. The gains from massive MIMO communication come from the use of multi-user MIMO on the uplink and downlink, but with a large excess of antennas at the base station compared to the number of served users. Initial work on massive MIMO did not fully address several practical issues associated with its deployment. This paper considers the impact of channel aging on the performance of massive MIMO systems. The effects of channel variation are characterized as a function of different system parameters assuming a simple model for the channel time variations at the transmitter. Channel prediction is proposed to overcome channel aging effects. The analytical results on aging show how capacity is lost due to time variation in the channel. Numerical results in a multicell network show that massive MIMO works even with some channel variation and that channel prediction could partially overcome channel aging effects.

In recent years, one of the most remarkable 5G technologies is massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system which increases spectral efficiency by deploying a large number of transmit-antennas (eg. tens or hundreds transmit-antennas) at base station (BS). However, conventional massive MIMO system using single-polarized (SP) transmit-antennas increases the size of the transmit-array proportionally as the number of transmit-antennas increases. Hence, size reduction of large-scale transmit-array is one of the major concerns of massive MIMO system. To reduce the size of the transmit-array at BS, dual-polarized (DP) transmit-antenna can be the solution to halve the size of the transmit-array since one collocated DP transmit-antenna deploys vertical and horizontal transmit-antennas compared to SP transmit-antennas. Moreover, proposed DP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by not only in the space domain but also in the polarization domain whereas the conventional SP massive MIMO system increases the spectral efficiency by space domain only. In this paper, the comparative performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems is analyzed by space division multiple access (SDMA) and space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) respectively. To analyze the performance of DP and SP massive MIMO systems, DP and SP spatial channel models (SCMs) are proposed which consider depolarized propagation channels between transmitter and receiver. The simulation results show that the performance of proposed 32 transmitter (Tx) DP massive MIMO system improves the spectral efficiency by about 91% for a large number of user equipments (UEs) compare to 32Tx SP massive MIMO system for identical size of the transmit-array.

본 논문에서, 극다중 안테나 시스템을 다중셀 환경에 적용하고 기지국의 안테나 수가 무한하다고 가정한 상태에서, 파일럿 오염으로 인해 제한된 시스템 용량을 개선하는 파일럿 도약 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 파일럿 고정 방식은, 각 사용자가 긴 시간 동안 동일한 Signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)를 얻게된다. 따라서, 약한 간섭을 받게 된 사용자는 지속적으로 SIR이 높은 반면에, 강한 간섭을 받게 된 사용자의 SIR은 지속적으로 낮아서 서비스의 질이 저하된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 파일럿 도약 기법에서는 매 타임 슬롯마다 다른 파일럿 신호를 사용하며, 이에 따라 매번 다른 양의 간섭을 받게 되므로, 매 타임 슬롯마다 SIR이 요동치게 된다. 이러한 채널에서 Hybrid Automatic Repeat & reQuest (HARQ) 기법을 적용할 경우에, 아웃티지 확률과 전송률의 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 극다중 안테나 시스템에 파일럿 도약 기법을 적용 후, 체이스 결합 유형의 HARQ를 적용하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 성능이 개선됨을 보인다.

5세대 이동통신 시스템은 4세대 LTE 시스템의 용량 대비 1000배의 용량 증대를 목표로 한다. 이를 달성하기 위해 많은 수의 소형셀을 활용하는 heterogeneous network 기술이 차세대 이동통신 기술로 각광받고 있다. 5세대 이동통신 시스템에서는 고정형 기지국과 이동형 기지국이 기하급수적으로 늘어날 것으로 예상되는데, 이러한 기지국을 모두 유선으로 연결하는 것은 비용 측면에서 합리적이지 않고, 이동형 기지국을 지원하기 위해서는 유선으로 백홀 링크를 지원하는 것보다 효율적인 무선 백홀망 시스템의 구축이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 배경을 바탕으로 고정 및 이동 액세스 포인트와 무선 백홀 스위치를 기반으로 한 5세대 이동통신 초광역 무선 백홀망 시스템을 제안, 초광역 무선 백홀망의 link budget을 분석하고 대형 어레이 안테나를 활용한 빔 기반 초광역 무선 백홀망 시스템의 성능을 시뮬레이터 분석을 통해 검증을 진행하였다. 초광역 무선 백홀망 link budget 분석을 통해 1 nJ/Gbps의 에너지 효율의 달성 가능성을 확인하고, 전송 시뮬레이터를 통해 무선 백홀 스위치를 중심으로 $10km^2$의 면적에 이동 액세스 포인트가 여러 위치에 존재할 때 사이드로브를 제어함으로써 빔 간 간섭을 줄일 경우 빔 당 1 W의 전송 전력을 통해 평균 주파수 효율을 5 bps/Hz 이상 달성 가능함을 확인하였다.
