  • 4G mobile communication system requires the throughput of 10-100Mbps. Adaptive modulated OFDM system is promising technique for increasing the throughput. In the pilot symbol assisted high-speed packet transmission system, the data symbol duration is generally considered to be small compared to the coherence time. However, OFDM symbol duration is longer than the symbol duration of a single carrier system, so that the packet duration of the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system is long. In this case, the change of channel conditions is too fast to be accurately estimated by channel estimator at the receiver in high Doppler frequency, so that many errors occur during demodulation, especially with the data symbols at the end of each packet. In this paper, we consider the BER at various instantaneous $E_b/N_o$ that includes the demodulation errors in high Doppler frequency. When the coherence time is ten times longer than the duration of a single packet, the channel can be closely approximated as an AWGN channel. Otherwise, the approximation breaks down and the above-mentioned errors that occur during demodulation must be taken into consideration. In this paper, we propose the pilot symbol assisted high speed packet transmission system based on adaptive OFDM using a novel lookup table to consider the demodulated errors and evaluate the throughput performance.

  • Despite the successful launch of Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 broadcasting worldwide, broadcasters are facing obstacles in constructing void-less large-scale single-frequency networks (SFNs). The bottleneck is the absence of decent on-channel repeater (OCR) solutions necessary for SFNs. In the real world, OCRs suffer from the maleficent feedback interference (FI) problem, which overwhelms the desired input signal. Moreover, the undesired multipaths between studio-linked transmitters and the OCR deteriorate the forward signals' quality as well. These problems crucially restrict the feasibility of conventional OCR systems, arousing the strong need for cost-worthy advanced OCR solutions. This paper presents an ATSC 3.0-specific solution of advanced OCR that solves the FI problem and refines the input signal. To this end, the FI canceler and channel equalizer functionalities are carefully implemented into the OCR system. The presented OCR system is designed to be fully compliant with the ATSC 3.0 specifications and performs a fast and efficient signal processing by exploiting the specific frame structure. The real product of ATSC 3.0 OCR is fabricated as well, and its feasibility is verified via field and laboratory experiments. The implemented solution is installed at a commercial on-air site and shown to provide substantial coverage gain in practice.

  • In this paper we consider technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks(SFN) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC) transmission systems and propose Interference Cancellation Digital On Channel Regenerative Repeater(IC-DOCR) thar overcomes the limitation of EDOCR(Equalization Digital On Channel Repeater) proposed by ETRI. The proposed IC-DOCR maintains the benefits of EDOCR that have good output signal quality removing multi-path, additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN). In additional, since the Interference Cancellation algorithm using the 8-VSB symbol demodulation of received signal removes the Interference of feedback signal, IC-DOCR improve the weakness of EDOCR that have low isolation between receive and transmit antenna so that can overcome the limitation of output signal power. we did analysis and verification of the proposed system performance using computational simulation.

  • In this paper we consider technological requirements of the on-channel repeater to broadcast the terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) signals using single frequency networks (SFN) and propose the configuration and implementation method of the equalization on-channel repeater (OCR) that meet such requirements. The proposed equalization OCR not only has short time delay, but shows high output power and good quality of output signal by removing a feedback signal due to incomplete antenna isolation and multipath signal existing between the main transmitter and the OCR. In addition, computer simulations and laboratory tests results are provided to figure out performance of the proposed equalization OCR.

  • In 3rd generation project partnership long term evolution, wireless multicast techniques which send the same data to multiple users under single frequency networks have attracted much attention. In the multicast system, the transmission mode needs to be selected for efficient data transfer while satisfying the multicast coverage requirement. To achieve this, users' channel state information (CSI) should be available at the transmitter. However, it requires too much uplink feedback resource if all the users are allowed to transmit their CSI at all the time. To solve this problem, in this paper, the multicast coverage prediction is suggested. In the proposed algorithm, each user measures its transition probabilities between the success and the fail state of the decoding. Then, it periodically transmits its CSI to the basestation. Using these feedbacks, the basestation can predict the multicast coverage. From the simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme can predict the multicast system coverage.

  • In this paper we consider technological requirements to broadcast digital television signals using single frequency networks (SFN) in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission systems and propose equalization digital on-channel repeater (EDOCR) that overcomes the limitations of conventional digital on-channel repeaters (DOCRs). Since there are no forward error correction (FEC) decoder and encoder, the EDOCR does not have an ambiguity problem. In addition, since an adaptive equalizer in the EDOCR removes multi-path signals, additive white Gaussian noise (A WGN), and feedback signal due to low antenna isolation, the EDOCR may have good output signal quality with high power.

  • In the next generation system, a study on realization of Multi-Core system is in progress for applying it in multi service network. Therefore some mobile systems are expected to be appeared. These systems can support WiBro, WCDMA, CDMA, etc with single terminal. These systems have to support various FA using broadband frequency and hand over to other service network. Especially, in the telecommunication system composed of cell, the transmit power can be interference at adjacent system, has effect on system channel capacity and cell size. In this paper, we improve the unstable transmit power caused by unsettled system operation, propose the RF(Radio Frequency) Calibration method which can use the transmit power stably even during hand over between heterogeneous networks causing unstable power change. Also we used proposed method and analysed used electricity of system during hand over between heterogeneous networks.

  • Data security is an important issue in today's computer networks. In order to construct a safe infra in the open communication network, a cryptography is necessarily applied to several communication application fields like a high-speed networking system supporting real-time operation. A cryptography which has already realized by a software is designed by using a hardware to improve a throughput. In this paper, we design hardware architecture of IDEA by using a single iterative round method to improve a encryption throughput. In addition, we intend to develop a hardware design methodology that a specific cryptography operate with high-speed. The hardware model is described in VHDL and synthesized by the Samsung KG 80 Library in the Synopsys development software tool. With a system clock frequency 20MHz, this hardware permits a data conversion rate of more than 116 Mbit/s.

  • In this paper, effect of interpenetrating polymer network(IPN) introduction on the dielectric properties, heat proof properties, internal structure and defects of the Epoxy/SiO$_2$composite materials, were investigated. we reported a relation between network structures and electrical properties, especially dielectric characteristics with variation of network structures for epoxy composite materials. According to experimental results, the specimens which have single network structures have lower dielectric constant than interpenetrating polymer network(IPN) specimens, but have relatively larger dependency to variation of temperature and frequency. It was confirmed that change of structures is attained by introducing of IPN to insulating materials. Therefore it is counted that introduction of multiple structure including IPN is necessary to improve heat proof and electrical properties.

  • Several studies have focused on multimedia transmission over wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, we propose a comprehensive and robust model to transmit images over cognitive radio WSNs (CRWSNs). We estimate the spectrum sensing frequency and evaluate its impact on the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). To enhance the PSNR, we attempt to maximize the number of pixels delivered to the receiver. To increase the probability of successful image transmission within the maximum allowed time, we minimize the average number of packets remaining in the send buffer. We use both single- and multi-channel transmissions by focusing on critical transmission events, namely hand-off (HO), No-HO, and timeout events. We deploy our advanced updating method, the dynamic parameter updating procedure, to guarantee the dynamic adaptation of model parameters to the events. In addition, we introduce our ranking method, named minimum remaining packet best channel selection, to enable us to rank and select the best channel to improve the system performance. Finally, we show the capability of our proposed image scrambling and filtering approach to achieve noticeable PSNR improvement.
