Transmitting correct train control information is important in a train control system which demands safety. The train control information includes the maximum speed of trains, position of preceding trains, incline of tracks and curve sections etc. A radio frequency-communication based train control system is influenced by the noise and interference because the train control information is transmitted by wireless between a on-board system and wayside system. The radio frequency-communication based train control system is a mobile communication system due to moving trains. The inter symbol interference(ISI) occurs by the multipath fading in the mobile ommunication system. As signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) is decreased by the ISI, the train control information is not received correctly. In case of tunnel section, numerous reflected waves exist. Therefore, the power density of receiver is decreased by difference among the received times, magnitudes, phases through the multipath. So, the train suddenly is stopped by the fail-safe operation in the train control system on account of decreasing the power density of receiver. In this paper, a line of sight model-(Additive White Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel), rayleigh and rician fading model are presented. Probability density functions which are related to the SNR are derived from the models. The fading phenomenon severely occurs as a result of analyzing the probability density functions. So, the space diversity method is used in order to reduce the fading effect and it is demonstrated by using Matlab program.

Induced voltage causing disturbances on the communication lines of electric train is dealt with when the AT power supply system is employed. Induction interference is of three types, namely, normal state induced voltage, unusual induced voltage in case of power faults, and noise-induced voltage. Calculation of induced voltages occurring in the AT system is more complicated and extensive than in the BT system. In this paper we obtain an algorithm to calculate the induced voltages on the communication lines in the AT system and an algorithm for the induced current in case of the accident that the line falls to the ground. These algorithms are developed to a package of computer programs and their validity was checked on a simulated system. We supply the measures to protect the communication lines suitable for the AT system and we can also evaluate the protection capabilities. Because of the ability to evaluate the protection measures, this package is expected to be very useful when electric train system is constructed on communication lines near the railroad.

To realize the self-driving technology, there have been various system designs based on the related V2X standards, especially the IEEE 802.11p and WAVE standard supporting the WLAN V2X communication. On the other hand, the new standard IEEE 802.11ba defining supplementary wake-up radio operation is now under standardization targeting the low power operation, and it includes the V2P operation in use cases. However, if IEEE 802.11ba is used with the IEEE 802.11ba for V2X operation, the additional transmission procedure of wake-up frame in IEEE 802.11ba may cause the congestion problem and fails to meet the delay requirement. In this paper, the system structure of the combination of IEEE 802.11ba with the 802.11p is studied. In addition, based on the analysis and simulation, the considerations and improvements for effective low-power V2P communication in future self-driving technology using IEEE 802.11ba are proposed.

We introduce a hybrid scheduling in a multi-path poor scattering full-duplex (FD) system, which consists of one multi-antenna FD base station and a large number of single-antenna half-duplex mobile stations. Our hybrid scheduling utilizes partial channel state information at the transmitter. In particular, unlike the conventional scheduling method using opportunistic transmission for both uplink and downlink, the proposed scheme combines a random transmit beamforming for downlink and a zero forcing beamforming for uplink. As our main result, via computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme has a superior sum-rate performance than that of the conventional scheduling method beyond a certain signal-to-noise ratio regime.

In this paper, a low complexity parallel sphere decoder algorithm is proposed for high-order MIMO system. It reduces the computational complexity compared to the fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm by static tree-pruning and dynamic tree-pruning using scalable node operators, and offers near-maximum likelihood decoding performance. Moreover, it also offers hardware-friendly node operation algorithm through fixing the variable computational complexity caused by the sequential nature of the conventional SD algorithm. A Monte Carlo simulation shows our proposed algorithm decreases the average number of expanded nodes by 55% with only 6.3% increase of the normalized decoding time compared to a full parallelized FSD algorithm for high-order MIMO communication system with 16 QAM modulation.

This paper proposes a new wireless backhaul technology based on MHN(Mobile Hotspot Network) which uses a wide frequency band of millimeter wave to provide wideband Wi-Fi services for subway passengers. Performance analysis of MHN up and down links, based on data: up and down links structure analysis of physical layer and simulation study of the MHN wireless backhaul link model, show that the proposed MHN-based wireless backhaul network can transmit data at a 1.2Gbps data rate and provide Internet service 100 times faster than that of conventional WiBro-based wireless backhaul networks. These results indicate that the proposed MHN technology is appropriate for subway mobile networks.

For the efficient energy consumption in an urban railway station, it is necessary to know the patterns of electrical loads for each usage in detail. The electrical loads in an urban railway station have different characteristics from other normal electrical load, such as the peak load timing during a day. The lighting, HVAC, communication, and commercial loads make up large amount of electrical load for equipment in an urban railway station, and each of them has the unique specificity. These loads for each usage were estimated without measuring device by the polynomial regression method with big data such as total amount of electrical load and weather data. In the simulation with real data, the optimal polynomial regression model was third order polynomial regression model with 9 or 10 independent variables.

Track circuit decides whether the section is occupied by train or free using the electrical characteristics of the rail, and sends information to the train using the rail as the medium of communication. So the electrical parameters of the rail are important to the track circuits. But they are influenced by the frequency of the transmitted signal and the environments like rain, snow and location of the rail. In this paper, the parameters of the rail is practically measured using the measurement method based on the 2-port network. The measurement demonstrates that the parameters of the rail is dependent on the frequency of the signal flowing on the rail and the environments like wheather. So this analysis of the parameters helps the design of track circuits.
