In this paper, we propose an enhanced SIR measurement algorithm for WCDMA mobile station modem. The proposed algorithm minimizes processing delay by applying velocity estimation-based channel estimator with IIR filter and reduces measured SIR offset by compensating attenuated signal power by using pilot channel(CPICH) in fading channel environment. To improve stability of SIR measurement, we also adopt an IIR filter which can properly reflect variation of fading channel in signal and interference power measurement. We prove that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional SIR measurement algorithm in mean and jitter of measured SIR. Computer simulation shows that performance results using the proposed algorithm have improvement of approximately 8dB for measured mean and 2dB for measured jitter in the wireless mobile channel, especially in fast mobile speed environment.

In this paper, we present an algorithm that computes a minimum-width color spanning axis-parallel rectangular annulus. A rectangular annulus is a closed region between a rectangle and its offset, and it is thus bounded by two rectangles called its outer and inner rectangles. The width of a rectangular annulus is determined by the distance between its outer and inner rectangles. Given n points in the plane each of which has one of the prescribed k colors, we call a rectangular annulus color spanning if it contains at least one point for each of the k colors. Prior to this work, there was no known exact algorithm that computes a minimum-width color-spanning rectangular annulus. Our algorithm is the first to solve this problem and it runs efficiently in $O((n-k)^3nlogn)$ time.

In OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks, synchronization of carrier frequencies among adjacent nodes is known to be difficult. In this paper, a distributed synchronization technique is proposed to solve the synchronization problem in OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks by using the bio-inspired algorithm. In the proposed approach, carrier frequencies of all nodes in a mesh network are converged into one frequency by locally synchronizing the frequencies of adjacent nodes. It may take a long time to be converged in some topologies since the convergence characteristic of carrier frequencies in a mesh network may vary depending on the size of the network and deployment of nodes. It is shown that fast frequency synchronization, not heavily depending on the topology, can be achieved through the proposed algorithm with an adjustable weight.

In this paper, we implement measurement functionality for performance measurement of the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) terminal by using software. Generally speaking, the receiving algorithms in normal modems cannot be used directly to the measurement system due to the lack of the algorithm accuracy. In this paper, we propose the new receiver algorithm for precise GSM signal measurements. In the receiving algorithm, 2-stage (coarse stage, fine stage) parameters estimation (symbol-timing, frequency offset, carrier phase) scheme is used. To improve the estimation accuracy, we increase the number of the received signal samples by interpolation. The proposed GSM signal measurement algorithm can be used for verifying the hardware measurement system. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be used for the commercial system through code execution speed optimization.

In burst OFDM system, the frame synchronization should be performed first for the acquisition of received frame and the estimation of the correct FFT-window position. The conventional frame synchronization algorithms using design features of the preamble symbol, the repetition pattern of the OFDM symbol by pilot sub-carrier allocation rule and Cyclic Prefix(CP), has difficulty in the detection of precise frame timing because its correlation characteristics would increase and decrease gradually. Also, the algorithm based on the correlation between the reference signal and the received signal has performance degradation due to frequency offset. Therefore, we adopt a differential correlation method that is robust to frequency offset and has the clear peak value at the correct frame timing for frame synchronization. However, performance improvement is essential for differential correlation methods, since it usually shows multiple peak values due to the repetition pattern. In this paper, we propose an enhanced frame synchronization algorithm based on the differential correlation method that shows a clear single peak value by using differential correlation between samples of identical repeating pattern. We also introduce a normalization scheme which normalizes the result of differential correlation with signal power to reduce the frame timing error in the high speed mobile channel environments.

A coupling capacitor voltage transformer(CCVT) is used in an extra or ultra high voltage system to obtain the standard low voltage signal for protection. To avoid the phase angle error between the primary and secondary voltages, a tuning reactor is connected between a capacitor and a voltage transformer. The inductance of the reactor is designed based on the power system frequency. If a fault occurs on the power system, the secondary voltage of the CCVT contains some errors due to a dc offset component and harmonic components resulting from the fault. The errors become severe in the case of a close-in fault. This paper proposes an algorithm for compensating the secondary voltage of a CCVT in the time-domain. From the measured secondary voltage of the CCVT, the secondary and primary currents are obtained; then the voltage across the capacitor and the inductor is calculated and then added to the measured secondary voltage to obtain the correct primary voltage. Test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can compensate the distorted secondary voltage of the CCVT irrespective of the fault distance, the fault inception angle, and the burden of the CCVT.

GA has a fast convergence speed in searching the one point around optimal value. But it's convergence time increase in searching the region around optimal value because it has no regional searching mechanism. BP has the tendency to converge the local minimum because it has global searching mechanism. To overcome these problems, a method in which a genetic algorithm and a back propagation are applied in turn is proposed in this paper. By using a genetic algorithm, we compute optimal synaptic strength and offset value. And then, these values are fed to the input of the back propagation. This proposed method is superior to each above method in improving the convergence speed.

In this paper, an algorithm that provisions absolute differentiation of packet delays is proposed with an objective for enhancing quality of service (QoS) in future packet networks. It features an adaptive scheme that compensates the deviation for prediction on the traffic to be arrived continuously. It predicts the traffic to be arrived at the beginning of a time slot and measures the actual arrived traffic at the end of the time slot, and derives the deviation between the two quantity. The deviation is utilized to the delay control operation for the next time slot to offset it. As it compensates the prediction error continuously, it shows superior adaptability to the bursty traffic as well as the constant rate traffic. It is demonstrated through simulation that the algorithm meets the quantitative delay bounds and shows superiority to the traffic fluctuation in comparison with the conventional mechanism.

All CCD pixels do not react uniformly even if the light of same radiance enters into the camera. This comes from the different camera optical characteristics, the read-out characteristics, the pixel own characteristics and so on. Usually, the image data of satellite camera can be corrected by the various image-processing methods in the ground. However, sometimes, the in-orbit correction is needed to get the higher quality image. Especially high frequency pixel correction in the middle of in-orbit mission is needed because the in-orbit data compression with the high frequency loss is essential to transmit many data in real time due to the limited RF bandwidth. In this case, this high frequency correction can prevent have to have any unnecessary high frequency loss. This in-orbit correction can be done by the specific correction table, which consists of the gain and the offset correction value for each pixel. So, it is very important to get more accurate correction table for good correction results. This paper shows the new algorithm to get accurate pixel correction table. This algorithm shall be verified theoretically and also verified with the various simulation and the test results.

Due to light condition or shadow around camera, acquired image sequence is often degraded by intensity fluctuation. This artifact is called luminance flicker. As the luminance flicker corrupts the performance of motion estimation or object detection, it should be corrected before further processing. In this paper, we analyze the flicker generation model and propose the new algorithm for flicker reduction. The proposed algorithm considers gain and offset parameter separately, and stabilizes the luminance fluctuation based on these parameters. We show the performance of the proposed method by testing on the sequence with artificially added luminance flicker and real sequence with object motion.
