Various countries around the world are conducting various studies to apply information and communication technology to marine safety. Based on this, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has established the e-Navigation standard to apply the latest information and communication technology to marine services. In Korea, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is promoting Korean e-navigation considering domestic marine environment and is trying to apply LTE communication method as a high-speed wireless communication method at sea. In this paper, we describe the development of an LTE based marine router system supporting 700Mhz frequency band allocated for high speed maritime wireless communication service. Experiments on the possibility of 100km distance communication from base station using LTE based ship router are shown. LTE - based high - speed maritime wireless communication router system can provide communication infrastructure necessary to develop various accident prevention technologies that may occur at sea.

This dissertation deal with over-all wireless communication technology. And introduce wireless communication technology analytically that it use for Home-LAN communication technology (HomeRF, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11, HIPERLAN, etc). Home-LAN communications issue by the terminal field of the latest high-speed network construction. This technologies possesses characteristics and significances as the representative technology using in Home-LAN communication technology. Also, the method of application is conditional on individually. Wireless LAN put Home-LAN communications to practical use. Bluetooth have practical use for an individual mobile communications with internet. HomeRF have a vision that the construction of wireless system in house purely. Therefore, this dissertation investigates merits and demerits between those technologies. And then leads the most compatible technology for application of Home-LAN. Finally, this thesis have a view of the development course hereafter.

Enhancing the performance of maritime wireless communication has been highlighted by the issue of cell planning in the sea area because of lack of an appropriate Propagation Loss Model (PLM). To resolve the cell planning issue in vast sea areas, it was essential to develop the (PLM) matching the intended sea area. However, there were considerable gaps between the prediction of legacy PLMs and field measurement in propagation loss and there was a need to develop the adjusted PLM (A-PLM). Therefore, cell planning was performed on this adjusted model, including modification of the base station's location, altitude, and antenna azimuth to meet the quality objectives. Furthermore, in order to verify the availability of the cell planning, Communication Service Quality Monitoring System (CS-QMS) was developed in the LTE-Maritime project to collect LTE signal quality information from the onboard equipment at regular intervals and to ensure that the service quality was high enough to satisfy the goals in each designated grid. As a result of verification, the success rate of RSRP was 95.7% for the intensive management zone (IMZ) and 96.4% for the interested zone (IZ), respectively.

Basic performances of wireless sensor network (WSN) and power line communication (PLC) confirmed in the test bed ashore are investigated in the 3000-ton class training ship of Korea Maritime University. The ubiquitous technologies can be considered for the provision of safety and convenience in a ship. We employed WSN and PLC, as the ubiquitous technologies, at the two areas within the training ship to estimate the realization of the ubiquitous environments in a ship. The experiments show rather good results in terms of data transfer rate. However, more detailed studies concerning the connection between WSN and PLC, noises induced to power line and fading effects are required to improve the quality and the stability of the communication for the ubiquitous environments.

Underwater wireless light communication system is quite necessary to retrieve recorded data from underwater devices or the black box without taking back it body. In this paper, a research on the light sensor technology in underwater wireless light communication under turbid sea was studied. A noise source under turbid sea for light communication was analysed, and a sensor system for light sensing using the reference light signal to remove the noises and to improve the output swing power wasstudied. Also, an underwater communication system was manufactured to validate the good performance of the development system, and using the system, the good performance of the developed system was validated through the light communication test in the tank containing the turbid sea water was presented.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been focused on as 4th generation communication method for realization of Ubiquitous Network in land mobile communications services, and has been a standard technology of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for a High Date Rate communication. And in maritime data communication using high frequency (HF) band, 32-point FFT OFDM system is recommended by International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Maritime communication should be kept on connecting when maritime accident or the maritime disaster happen. Therefore, main device FFT should be operated with low power consumption. In this paper we propose a low power 32-point FFT algorithm using radix-2 and radix-4 for low power operation. The proposed algorithm was designed using VHSIC hardware description language (VHDL), and it was confirmed that the output value of Spartan-3 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board corresponded to the output value calculated using Matlab. The proposed 32-point FFT algorithm will be useful as a leading technology in a HF maritime data communication.

One objective in developing the next generation of wireless communication systems is to increase data rates and reliability. A promising way to achieve this is to combine multiple-input and multiple-output signal processing with a space-time coding scheme, which offers higher coding and diversity gains and improves the spectrum efficiency and reliability of a wireless communication system. It is noted, however, that time delay differences and phase differences among different channels increase symbol interference and degrade system performance. In this letter, we investigate phase differences and their effects on multiple-input and multiple-output systems, and propose a compensation algorithm for the Rayleigh fading model to minimize their effects.

Industrial machines have constraints on movement due to its wire for power supply. Recently, the research on wireless power supply for industrial machine which is required to move freely is receiving a lot of attention. In this paper, we suggest a magnetic induction system which can charge a equipment's battery with wireless at a close range. The system was designed to operate at 13.56 MHz and a distance of 20~30 mm between the transmitting and the receiving power module. From experiment, it was found that it takes about 135 minutes for charging the battery with about 15 V using the proposed system.

Ship's wireless LAN was in the limelight as equipment of ease, cost reduction, various func tion al i ty. In the paper, a dual-bandpass filter for wireless LAN has proposed, which was designed by using dual-mode square loop resonator with square patch in compliance with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band of wireless LAN. The dual-bandpass filter could be designed by adjusting sizes of one perturbation element and three of reference elements in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, Furthermore, new dual-bandpass filter was also designed by adjusting stopband of using open stubs in compliance with the frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz. The measured results for the fabricated dual-bandpass filters agreed well with the simulated ones, and hence, it was confirmed that the proposed design method is valid.
