In this paper, we analyze the I/Q imbalances effects at the WiBro uplimk when using direct-conversion RF transceiver. If I/Q imbalance exists, the transmit signal is spread over two sbcarriers. As a result, phenomenon of performance reducing is produced. Contrary to OFDM system in which one user uses all subcarrier, symmetrical two subcarriers are assigned other users in OFDMA system. I/Q imbalances elements can't be estimated such a conventional allocation method of tiles in subchannel and compensated. In order to solve the problem, We propose a new method in order that symmetrical two subcarriers are assigned one user. If novel method is applied, we can estimate I/Q imbalances and compensate distortion received signal. As a result, we can obtain a performance similar performance when I/Q imbalances is not existed. Also, if proper detection methods are used, we get the effect of performance improvement, because of diversity gain what is happened due to combining I/Q imbalances with multi path fading channel.

3G Long Term Evolution, which aims for various mobile multimedia service provision by enhanced wireless interface, proposes VoIP-based voice service through a Packet Switching (PS) domain. As delay and loss-sensitive VoIP traffic flows through the PS domain, more challenging technical difficulties are expected than in Circuit Switching (CS) domain based VoIP services. Moreover, since 3G LTE, which adopts the OFDM as its physical layer, introduces Physical Resource Block (PRB) as a unit for transmission resources, new types of resource management schemes are needed. This paper proposes a PRB scheduling algorithm of MAC layer for VoIP service in 3G LTE and shows the simulation results. The proposed algorithm has two key parts; dynamic activation of VoIP priority mode to satisfy VoIP QoS requirements and adaptive adjustment of the priority mode duration in order to minimize the degradation of resource utilization.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system has the problem of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) due to the overlapping phenomena of many sub-carriers. In order to improve the performance of PAPR, we propose in this paper a new genetic sub-block phase weighting(GA-SPW) using the SPW technique. Not only the selecting mapping(SLM) and the partial sequence(PTS) but also the previously proposed SPW becomes more effective as the number of sub-blocks and phase elements increases. However, all of them have limitation on the number of sub-blocks since the searching repetition increases exponentially as the number of sub-blocks increases. Therefore, in this research, a new GA SPW is proposed to reduce the amount of calculation by using Genetic algorithm(GA). In the proposed method, the number of calculations involved in the iterative phase searching yields to depend on the number of population and generation not on the number of sub-blocks and phase elements. The superiority of the proposed method is presented in the experimental results and analysis.

This paper describes the performance evaluation and analysis of Wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) in the 5 GHz ISM-band in compliance with IEEE 802.11a. At present, most W-LAN products are based on 2.4 GHz band, but low speed (11Mbps) has the limitation to serve systems demanding high-speed data transmission. To solve this problem, it is necessary to design next generation W-LAN system with 54Mbps in the 5GHz. It is sure that implementation of next generation W-LAN will bring competitive advantages. In particular, it will support telecommunications for high-speed mobile environments as well as for fixed places such as a school zone, a lecture room, a hospital and other premises. A few simulation methods are applied to more accurate and reliable performance analysis of next generation W-LAN. To verify if continuous data service is supported for a high-speed mobile notebook, multi-path fading channels between wireless Access Point (AP) and wireless Network Interface Card (NIC) are modeled. In addition, low interference is analyzed via convolutional codes and Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Also, to obtain reliable Bit Error Rate (BER), a single tap Least Mean Square (LMS) equalizer is applied. Given the above simulation, next generation W-LAN is an ideal solution for continuous data transmission in high-speed mobile environments.

A digital phase wrapping modulation (DPM) open-loop polar transmitter can be efficiently applied to a wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system by converting in-phase and quadrature signals to envelope and phase signals and then employing the signal mapping process. This mapping process is very similar to quantization in a general communication system, and when taking into account the error that appears during mapping process, one can replace the coordinates rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm in the coordinate conversion part with the Taylor series approximation method. In this paper, we investigate the application of the Taylor series approximation to the cartesian to polar coordinate conversion part of a DPM polar transmitter for wideband OFDM systems. The conventional approach relies on the CORDIC algorithm. To achieve efficient application, we perform computer simulation to measure mean square error (MSE) of the both approaches and find the minimum approximation order for the Taylor series approximation compatible to allowable error of the CORDIC algorithm in terms of hardware design. Furthermore, comparing the processing speeds of the both approaches in the implementation with FPGA reveals that the Taylor series approximation with lower order improves the processing speed in the coordinate conversion part.

In this paper, a performance of a decorrelating detector for a multirate MC(multi-carrier) DS/CDMA system is analyzed and simulated in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. The performance is compared with that of single rate MC-DS/CDMA system in term of bit error probability. Variable Spreading Length (VSL) is employed for MC-DS/CDMA system as multirate transmission scheme. From simulation result, it is shown that Decorrelator for multirate MC-DS/CDMA achieves high BER performance as well as that of single rate case.

We develop an adaptive hot-spot operating scheme(AHOS) to mitigate the negative effects from the nonuniform distribution of user location and the variation in the mixture of QoS requirements in OFDMA downlink systems. The base station in a macrocell can control the operation of picocells within the cell, and turns on or off according to the changes in the estimated user outage probability and the AHOS gain parameter. With the computer simulation, the AHOS has been proved to maximize the system throughput while maintaining the QoS outage probability very low under various system scenarios.

본 고에서는 전력선통신 기술동향을 분석하고 국내 기술기준에서 어떻게 규제를 받는지 분석하였다. 전력선통신은 초기에 전기 이용기기의 원격 제어용으로 비교적 적은 데이터를 송수신하는데 이용되었다. 그러나 광대역 통신 요구에 따라서 전력선을 이용한 고속 전력선모뎀 기술이 개발되어 인터넷 등과 같은 고속 데이터 통신을 할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 전력선통신은 기존 전선로를 사용하므로 높은 주파수의 신호를 전송하면 전파 방사에 의해서 다른 무선설비에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 현재 30MHz 이하의 대역을 사용하고 있으나 이 대역은 해상, 항공 등 인명 안전을 위한 중요 통신에서 이용하고 있다. 그러므로 전력선모뎀이 기존 무선설비에 간섭을 주지 않으면서 주파수 대역을 공유하기 위해서는 간섭을 최소화할 수 있는 spread spectrum이나 OFDM과 같은 기술을 활용해서 설계되어야 한다. 이미 이러한 기술들을 활용한 전력선 모뎀이 상용화되어 있으며 옥내 뿐 만 아니라 옥외까지 용도를 확장하기 위해서 간섭 완화기술 및 방법 등이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 고에서는 전력선통신의 고속화를 위한 기술 동향 및 간섭 완화 방법 기술을 분석하고, 구현된 시스템이 다른 무선설비와 간섭 없이 사용될 수 있도록 규정하고 있는 관련 기술기준을 분석하였다.

VLC(Visible Light Communication) is the technology to send and receive data by using visible light that LED emits. The basic principle of VLC is the communication by using flashing(ON/OFF) of the light from the LED that changes electricity to light in short time. As the recent advances in LED technology, VLC is also received a lot of attention and the research about it is in progress actively. Especially, the interest about indoor VLC system is increasing because the visible light can't pass through the wall. In this paper, we compose the indoor SISO VLC system with NRZ-OOK and VPPM modulation schemes. Also, we apply SR-ARQ, a kind of re-transmission error control schemes, to the VLC system. And then, we compare and analyze the performance of communication according to the location of receiver and the type of modulation by using BER, the number of transmission and throughput.

In this paper, we propose the channel sounding scheme which is made for ideal communication between some application as well as the short distance of high speed data transmission in MIMO-OFDM system for Wireless PAN. This method is able to perceive the duration of the impulse response through the delaying of power delay profile, modeled a power delay profile which has an attenuate characteristic, and obtained the coefficient of channel response by ML (maximum likelihood). Through the amplitudes, phases and delays associated with each multipath component which were acquired from this channel sounding scheme, we can describe the wave propagation characteristics of channels between the transmitter and receiver so that the receiver could enhance not only the reliability but also the ability of communication link. Multi agent system models can be used to analyze the path of the system within any time frame. Further, parameter values can be perturbed to examine how the path of the system changes in response to exogenous shocks.
