This paper proposes a novel transmit diversity technique, namely symbol split orthogonal transmit diversity (SS-OTD). In this technique, full path diversity and temporal diversity are achieved by combining orthogonal transmit diversity technique (OTD) technique with the symbol splitting method proposed by Meyer. Its performances is simulated for fundamental channels associated with the forward link of the IS-2000 system, and then compared with those of OTD and space-time spreading (STS). Our proposed method offers a 0.5-7.7dB performance improvement over OTD under various simulation environments and its performance is similar to STS. Moreover, compares with that of STS, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) of transmitted signals in SS-OTD is reduced by a maximal 1.35dB, which decreases the complexity of base station RF devices, such as power amplifiers. Thus, SS-OTD is comparable to STS in performance and superior to STS in the cost and efficiency of base station RF devices.

We have proposed the optimum threshold detection(OTD) technique of 16 QAM signal in the Rician fading channel and analyzed its error performance with and without the selective combining(SC) diversity technique. And we compared the error performance of OTD with that of conventional threshold detection(CTD). Having the SC diveresity reception, optimum threshold detection(OTD) technique proposed in this paper provides the performance improvement of 1.8~3.2 [dB] in CNR for fading depth K values ranging from 5 to 30 over CTD when the error rate is $10_5$. From the result of numerical analysis, we know that the proposed OTD technique is superior to CTD technique in the Rician fading channel and adoption of the SC diversity technique with the proposed OTD can be considered as a good countermeasure for the Rician fading.

The error performance of 16 Square-QAM signal with Optimum Threshold Detection(OTD) under the consideration of AWGN and Rician fading was analyzed for various value of Rician fading depth K. And error performance of 16-QAM signal with OTD, which considered in AWGN and Rician fading, was compared with that of 16-QAM signal with OTD, which considered in Rician fading only. And BCH coding is adopted. From the results, the error perfomance evlauated by proposed OTD was superior to that of 16-QAM signal with OTD, which considered in Rician fading without AWGN, in low CNR.

This study examined the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and the vastus lateralis (VL) onset time differences (OTD) during quadriceps contraction in different hip positions. Twelve healthy subjects were recruited (four men, eight women). Surface EMG activities of the VMO and VL were measured during a quadriceps strengthening exercise in a long sitting condition and in a sitting at a chair with feet hanging condition. For each condition, subjects were tested in two hip positions (neutral and adduction). The OTD between the two muscles was calculated for each condition, by subtracting the onset time of the VL from the VMO. Therefore, the negative value of OTD represent earlier EMG onset of the VMO compared to the VL. The OTD was not significantly different between the hip neutral and the hip adduction position in the long sitting condition (p=.064). However, the OTD was significantly different between the hip neutral position ($15.83{\pm}109.51$ ms) and hip adduction position ($-5.58{\pm}121.08$ ms) during the sitting at a chair with feet hanging condition (p=.047). The negative OTD value in the hip adduction condition during quadriceps strengthening exercises is the result of earlier onset of the VMO than VL. Therefore, quadriceps contraction in the hip adduction position can prevent the risk of patella lateral tracking. We expect that quadriceps strengthening exercise in the hip adduction position will be a safe way to prevent patellofemoral pain syndrome resulting from abnormal patella lateral tracking.

With the explosive growth of the number of Internet users and Internet-related services, the research on construction of broadband Optical Internet by using WDM technologies is actively is actively progressed. In this paper, we design the offset time decision (OTD) algorithm for supporting the QoS in optical networks based on optical burst switching (OBS), which is the new switching paradigm, and evaluate the performance of it. The proposed algorithm determines a reasonable offset time considering traffic load of network and the number of wavelengths to guarantee the burst loss rate (BLR) of high priority Internet traffic as a QoS parameter. In order to design the proposed OTD algorithm, firstly we make the new burst loss formula, which includes the effect of offset time. The decision of offset time corresponding to the requested BLR, however, should use the reverse formula of proposed one, thus we are not able to use it without any changes. In this paper, we define the heuristic loss formula (HLF) that can be changed into reversed formula by using the proposed formula and proportional equation considering its characteristics. Finally we show the OTD algorithm to decide the offset time by using HLF. We show that the requested BLR is guaranteed under various traffic load with the determinded offset time by using the proposed OTD algorithm.

In this paper, we propose the functional models of optical burst switching (OBS) routers to apply GMPLS (Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching) to optical networks based on OBS. In addition, we introduce a connection admission control (CAC) algorithms which are operated in this models and can accommodate the required QoS. Firstly, the characteristics of current GMPLS and OBS for the optical Internet are basically considered. With this consideration, the models are proposed to accept OBS features which include the recognition of data boundary with control information and the statistical multiplexing in terms of bursts. Secondly, we use an offset time decision (OTD) algorithm on behalf of controlling the connection admission with taking QoS parameters such as burst loss rate(BLR) and service-differentiation ratio(SDR) into consideration. The proposed CAC algorithms use the offered load of LSP (Label Switched Path), wavelength information, and QoS parameters as inputs of OTD algorithm. A call setup request will be accepted when the offset time decided by OTD algorithm is reasonable for guaranteeing its requested QoS. Simulation is used for performance evaluation. Results show the proposed schemes can guarantee the required QoS and those are better than the previous one in terms of channel utilization.

송신단에 다중안테나를 사용하는 송신 다이버시티 기법에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access)2000과 3GPP(The third generation partnership project)에서 고려한 개루프 송신 다이버시티 기법인 STTD(Space time transmit diversify), OTD (Orthogonal transmit diversity), STS(Space time spreading)를 다수 반송파 CDMA 시스템에 적용시킬 경우 하향링크 (Downlink)에서의 성능을 평가한다. STS와 STTD방식은 동일한 성능을 보이지만 STS방식은 복잡도와 높은 PAR(Peak to average ratio)의 단점을 보이며, OTD는 이 두 방식에 비해 성능이 떨어지는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper, we propose a new transmit diversity scheme using window functions in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Transmit diversity of the scheme is varied with window functions and the condition of the window function to maximize transmit diversity is derived. The proposed scheme can be considered as a generalization of the diversity schemes such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD), orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD), and frequency switched transmit diversity (FSTD).

In this paper, we have analyzed the error performance of the optimum threshold detection(OTD) of 16 QAM signal in the Rician fading channel with and without the maximal ratio combining(MRC) diversity technique in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference. An also the error performance of OTD is compared to that of conventional threshold detection(CTD) in the Rician fading channel in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference. With the result of analysis, it is found that there exists a synergistic effect due to both MRC diversity and optimum threshold detection in the Rician fading channel in the presence of cochannel Rayleigh interference.
