In recent years, there has been growing interest in secure pairing, which refers to the establishment of a secure communication channel between two mobile devices. There are a number of descriptions of the various types of out-of-band (OOB) channels, through which authentication data can be transferred under a user's control and involvement. However, none have become widely used due to their lack of adaptability to the variety of mobile devices. In this paper, we introduce a new OOB channel, which uses accelerometer-based gesture input. The gesture-based OOB channel is suitable for all kinds of mobile devices, including input/output constraint devices, as the accelerometer is small and incurs only a small computational overhead. We implemented and evaluated the channel using an Apple iPhone handset. The results demonstrate that the channel is viable with completion times and error rates that are comparable with other OOB channels.

The directional MAC (DMAC) protocol improves the spatial reuse, but directional packets on the control channel cause the deafness problem. In this paper, we propose a tone dual-channel DMAC protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. In the proposed MAC protocol, the use of omnidirectional transmissions using an omnidirectional out-of-band tone solves the deafness problem and decrease packet collisions on the control channel. The use of an omnidirectional out-of-band tone also mitigates the hidden terminal problem. We use the negative CTS (NCTS) mechanism to solve the exposed terminal problem. The throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by simulations using the Qualnet simulator.

Cognitive radio (CR) users, known as secondary users (SUs), should avoid interference with primary users (PUs) who own the licensed band, while trying to access it; when the licensed band is unused by the PUs. To detect PUs, spectrum sensing should be performed over in-band channels that are currently in use by SUs. If PUs return to access the band, SUs need to vacate it, disrupting the SUs' communication unless a non-utilized band is discovered. Obtaining a non-utilized band in a short period facilitate seamless communication for SUs and avoid interference on PUs by vacating from the channel immediately. Searching for a non-utilized band can be done through proactive out-of-band (OB) sensing. In this paper, we suggest a proactive OB sensing scheme that minimizes the time required to discover a non-utilized spectrum in order to continue communication. Although, the duration spent on OB sensing reduces the throughput of the CR networks that can be achieved on band being utilized, the lost throughput can be compensated in the new discovered band. We demonstrate that, the effect of our proposed scheme on the throughput owing to OB sensing is insignificant, while exhibiting a very short channel discovery time.

DAB(Digital Audio Broadcasting)는 기존 아날로 그 방식 AM과 FM 라디오 방송의 한계와 문제점을 극복하고 CD 수준 음질의 오디오를 포함한 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 차세대 라디오 방송이다. DAB는 전송 주파수 대역에 따라 기존의 FM/AM 대역과 다른 새로운 대역을 사용하는 Out-of-Band 방식과 기존의 FM/AM 대역을 사용하는 In-Band 방식으로 분류할 수 있다. Out-of-Band 방식으로는 유럽의 Eureka-147과 일본의 협대역 ISDB-T(Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting-Terrestrial) 방식이 있으며, In-Band 방식은 미국의 USADR(USA Digital Radio)사와 LDR(Lucent Digital Radio)사가 개발하고 있는 IBOC(In-Band On Channel) 방식과 국내 한국전자통신연구원(ETRI)에서 개발 중인 IBAC(In-Band Adjacent Channel) 방식이 있다. 본 고에서는 DAB의 전송 주파수 대역에 따른 방식별 특성을 고찰하고 유럽, 일본, 미국과 국내에서 상용화 서비스 또는 개발되고 있는 DAB 시스템의 기술동향을 분석 한다.

The object of this paper is to investigate the influence of antenna pattern on indoor radio channel characteristics. Different from previous works where this analysis was carried out at a fixed frequency using different antennas, in the present paper (where measurements were taken in a wide frequency range) the variation of the radiation pattern was caused by two factors: the change of the radiation pattern when the same antenna was used at different frequenicies and the use of different type of antennas. To carry out this analysis, frequency domain measurements of the indoor radio channel at 1 GHz, 5.5 GHz, 10 GHz and 18 GHz were collected. Measurements were taken using a network analyzer. Serveral re-alizations of the channel transfer function were obtained varying, for each measurement, the positon of the transmitter and keep-ing the receiver fixed. Estimate of the channel impulse response was obtained from the Inverse Fourier Transform (IFT) of the fre-quency response. The measurements were performed in an office enviroment with mostly metallic walls and inner separations. The obtained data were elaborated to obtain the power versus distance relationship, the Cummulative Distribution Functions(CDFs) of rms Delay Spread(DS) and of the 3 dB frequency correlation band-width. Finally, the 3 dB width of the frequency correlation func-tion has been empirically related to the inverse of the rms DS of the impulse response.

Ad hoc MAC protocols using directional antennas can be used to improve the network capacity by improving spatial reuse. But, the directional MAC protocols have the problem of deafness and have a poor throughput performance. The dual-channel DMAC protocol has been proposed to mitigate deafness and improve spatial reuse. In this paper, we propose a dual-channel DMAC protocol using the omnidirectional antenna for an out-of-band tone and directional antennas for control/data channels. In the proposed MAC protocol, an omnidirectional out-of-band tone mitigates deafness and directional antennas used in control/data channels improve spatial reuse and reduce interference packets. The throughput performance of the proposed MAC protocol is confirmed by computer simulations using Qualnet ver. 3.8 simulator.

Cognitive radio (CR) has been recently proposed to dynamically access unused-spectrum. Since the spectrum availability for opportunistic access is determined by spectrum sensing, sensing control is identified as one of the most crucial issues of cognitive radio networks. Out-of-band sensing to find an available channels to sense. Sensing is also required in case of spectrum hand-off. Sensing process needs to be done very fast in order to enhance the quality of service (QoS) of the CR nodes, and transmission not to be cut for longer time. During the sensing, the PU(primary user) detection probability condition should be satisfied. We adopt a channel prediction method to find target channels. Proposed prediction method combines chaotic global method and chaotic local method for channel idle probability prediction. Global method focus on channel history information length and order number of prediction model. Local method focus on local prediction trend. Through making simulation, Proposed method can find an available channel with very high probability, total sensing time is minimized, detection probability of PU's are satisfied.

In this paper, the design of a channel filter and its group-delay-and-amplitude equalizer is carried out for the Ka-band satellite transponder subsystem. The 8th order dual-mode filter is employed for high selectivity around the band-edges with an elliptic-integral function response and has an in-line configuration. The 2-pole, reflection-type, group-delay equalizer is designed and manufactured to reduce the group-delay and amplitude variation, which can be large for such a high order filter. It is noted that in both the filter and equalizer, adopting the dual-mode coupling mechanism leads to less mass and volume. Through measurement, the performance of the realized group-delay-equalized filter is shown to meet the equipment requirements and to be appropriate for the satellite input multiplexer.

본 논문에서는 디지털라디오와 관련하여 동일계열 기술인 DRM과 DRM+ 전송방식을 기반으로 AM과 FM의 디지털방송 추진의 가능성과 필요성을 제시한다. 주파수 활용에서 IN-BAND와 OUT-OF-BAND 양쪽 모두 이용이 가능한 DRM+의 특징을 이용하여 FM밴드와 인접한 LOW-VHF 대역 TV채널 5번과 6번 주파수를 OUT-OF-BAND방식으로 디지털라디오방송을 추진할 때 기존 FM방송 신호와 충돌과 혼신이 없고, 새로운 라디오영역으로 확보 가능하며, 우수한 신호전달 능력이 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 특히 IN-BAND방식 Hybrid 모드에서 SFN을 이용한 다수의 송신기 사용이 어려운 문제점을 언급하였다. 그와 반대로 DRM+에 의한 OUT-OF-BAND 방식은 다수의 송신기 배치가 가능하며, 기존 FM송신기 및 안테나와 콤바인이 쉽고, 사업자별로 출력지정과 권역설정이 자유로우며, AM/FM 통합 디지털라디오 제작과 보급에 유리하여 디지털라디오 추진에 적합한 방안이 될 수 있음을 제안하였다.
