The QWERTY type keyboard is a classical device that has been used for computers for a long time. The keyboard design of mobile devices like smartphones is an important issue to consider because of the limited space on the touch screen. This paper presents a design for symbol allocation on the QWERTY type soft keyboard. A 27-cell model, including the full stop (.), is proposed in this paper. A QWERTY type keyboard for smartphones is mainly known for its spatial compatibility, whereas the characters of the ANSI keyboard are allocated to the shoulder positions for functional auxiliary input methods such as the long pressing method.

기존의 다중사용자 중첩 전송은 순시 채널 전력의 조건에 따라 데이터 심벌의 전력 할당 계수와 사용자별 수신 신호 처리 방법을 결정한다. 그러나 순시 채널 전력의 이용은 시스템의 복잡도를 증가시킬 수 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 평균 채널 전력을 이용하는 고정적 다중사용자 중첩 전송을 고려한다. 고정적 다중사용자 중첩 전송 기법은 시간에 따라 느리게 변화하는 평균 채널 전력의 조건을 기반으로 데이터 심벌의 전력 할당 계수와 사용자별 수신 신호 처리 방법을 결정하기 때문에 시스템 복잡도를 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 고정적 다중사용자 중첩 전송에 대한 평균 심벌 오차율을 분석한다. 특히, 레일레이 페이딩 채널을 가정하여 M-ary 직교 진폭 변조에 대한 평균 심벌 오차율의 표현식을 유도한다. 또한, 수치적 결과를 통하여 열악한 채널 환경에 있는 사용자에서 고정적 다중사용자 중첩전송과 기존의 다중사용자 중첩 전송의 평균 심벌 오차율 성능이 유사함을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a channel allocation algorithm of MSAP(Mobile Subscriber Access Point) and data delivery scheme exploiting the symbol level network coding. The network is comprised of TS(Tactical Switch) as a backbone node, MSAPs, and TMFTs(Tactical Multi-Function Terminal). The TS performs the channel allocation considering the communication range overlapping between the neighboring MSAPs and applies the symbol level network coding, if necessary, depending on the position of the TMFTs. Assuming the number of available antennas of TMFT and MSAP will be extended to two from one, we propose two schemes: single mode and dual mode. Through the simulation, we show that the proposed delivery scheme provides higher delivery ratio and lower delivery delay compared with the legacy store-and-forward scheme.

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communication has an impact on the human life over the whole world, nowadays, through the artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). The low latency of the 5G new radio (NR) access is implemented by the state-of-the art technologies, such as non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). This paper investigates a practical issue that in NOMA, for the practical channel models, such as fading channel environments, the successive interference cancellation (SIC) should be performed on the stronger channel users with low power allocation. Only if the SIC is performed on the user with the stronger channel gain, NOMA performs better than orthogonal multiple access (OMA). Otherwise, NOMA performs worse than OMA. Such the superiority requirement can be easily implemented for the channel being static or slow varying, compared to the block interval time. However, most mobile channels experience fading. And symbol by symbol channel estimations and in turn each symbol time, selections of the SIC-performing user look infeasible in the practical environments. Then practically the block of symbols uses the single channel estimation, which is obtained by the training sequence at the head of the block. In this case, not all the symbol times the SIC is performed on the stronger channel user. Sometimes, we do perform the SIC on the weaker channel user; such cases, NOMA performs worse than OMA. Thus, we can say that by what percent NOMA is better than OMA. This paper calculates analytically the percentage by which NOMA performs better than OMA in the practical mobile communication systems. We show analytically that the percentage for NOMA being better than OMA is only the function of the ratio of the stronger channel gain variance to weaker. In result, not always, but almost time, NOMA could perform better than OMA.

본 논문에서는 IEEE802.11a나 IEEE802.11p의 물리계층과 같은 패킷기반의 OFDM 통신 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 주파수 오프셋 예측기법을 제안하고 성능을 분석하여 기준기법과 비교하였다. 제안 기법에서는 긴 훈련심볼과 짧은 훈련심볼에 할당되는 이득을 전체적으로 일정하게 유지하면서도 이득 할당비를 조절할 수 있도록 하여 채널 상황에 따라 주파수 오프셋 에러에 대한 MSE 성능을 향상시키기 위한 이득 할당비를 알아낼 수 있다. 본 논문에서 고려한 훈련심볼은 IEEE802.11a와 IEEE802.11p의 표준화 그룹에서 적용된 프리앰블을 적용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의해, 채널 SNR 상황에 따라 주파수 오프셋 에러를 최소화하기 위한 긴 훈련심볼 대 짧은 훈련심볼의 전력비가 다르며, 제안한 기법에 의한 주파수 오프셋 에러에 대한 MSE 성능이 기존의 기법보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

무선 채널은 유선 채널과 달리 시간적 공간적으로 지속적으로 변화하는 특성을 가지고 있으며 이는 네트워크의 성능 변화에도 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 채널의 변화에 대응하여 네트워크의 성능을 향상하고자 하는 노력이 많이 이루어져 왔으며 이는 지역 통신으로 각광받고 있는 Wi-Fi도 예외는 아니다. 기존의 Wi-Fi 네트워크에서의 채널에 적응하여 역동적 속도 조절방식은 Flat-fading에 기반을 두어 이루어져 왔으나 대부분의 Wi-Fi 네트워크가 Indoor상황에서 이루어지기에 오히려 Frequency selective한 채널에 대응하는 방식의 속도 조절 방식이 요구되어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 방식은 지속적으로 변화하는 채널에 적응하기에는 너무나 큰 overhead를 만들어 옴에 따라 적용되지 못하고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 각 sub-carrier별로 다양한 Rate를 적용할 수 있는 Layer-2 protocol을 제안한다. 제안된 프로토콜은 기존의 sub-carrier별 속도 조절시에 문제시 되는 overhead 의 증가문제를 단 한 개의 OFDM 심벌을 추가함으로써 혁신적으로 개선할 수 있었고 이를 통하여 네트워크의 성능 향상을 가져오게 되었다. 제안된 프로토콜은 simulation과정을 통하여 그 성능의 우월성을 입증하였다.

Cooperative communications can significantly improve the wireless transmission performance with the help of relay nodes. In cooperative communication networks, relay selection and power allocation are two key issues. In this paper, we propose a relay selection and power allocation scheme RS-PA-PSACO (Relay Selection-Power Allocation-Particle Swarm Ant Colony Optimization) based on PSACO (Particle Swarm Ant Colony Optimization) algorithm. This scheme can effectively reduce the computational complexity and select the optimal relay nodes. As one of the swarm intelligence algorithms, PSACO which combined both PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) algorithms is effective to solve non-linear optimization problems through a fast global search at a low cost. The proposed RS-PA-PSACO algorithm can simultaneously obtain the optimal solutions of relay selection and power allocation to minimize the SER (Symbol Error Rate) with a fixed total power constraint both in AF (Amplify and Forward) and DF (Decode and Forward) modes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the system performance significantly both in reliability and power efficiency at a low complexity.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of an amplify-and-forward (AF) two-way relaying system, where two sources exchange information via the aid of an intermediate relay that is selected among multiple relays according to max-min criterion. We consider a practical scenario, where one source-relay link undergoes Rician fading, and the other source-relay link is subject to Rayleigh fading. To be specific, we derive a tight lower bound for the outage probability. From this lower bound, the asymptotic outage probability and average symbol error rate (SER) expressions are derived to gain insight into the system performance at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. Furthermore, we investigate the optimal power allocation (PA) with fixed relay location (RL), optimal RL with fixed PA and joint optimization of PA and RL to minimize the outage probability and average SER. The analytical expressions are verified through Monte Carlo simulations, where the positive impact of Rician factor on the system performance is also illustrated. Simulation results also validate the effectiveness of the proposed PA and relay positioning schemes.

In this paper, the average probability of the symbol error rate (SER) and throughput are studied in the presence of joint spectrum sensing and data transmission in a cognitive relay network, which is in the environment of an optimal power allocation strategy. In this investigation, the main component in calculating the secondary throughput is the inclusion of the spatial false alarms, in addition to the conventional false alarms. It has been shown that there exists an optimal secondary power amplification factor at which the probability of SER has a minimum value, whereas the throughput has a maximum value. We performed a Monte-Carlo simulation to validate the analytical results.

In this paper, the performance of dual-hop multi-relay maximum ratio transmission (MRT) over Rayleigh flat fading channels is studied with both conventional (all relays participate the transmission) and opportunistic (best relay is selected to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)) relaying. Performance analysis starts with the derivation of the probability density function, cumulative distribution function and moment generating function of the SNR. Then, both approximate and asymptotic expressions of symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability are derived for arbitrary numbers of antennas and relays. With the help of asymptotic SER and outage probability, diversity and array gains are obtained. In addition, impact of imperfect channel estimations is investigated and optimum power allocation factors for source and relay are calculated. Our analytical findings are validated by numerical examples which indicate that multi-relay MRT can be a low complexity and reliable option in cooperative networks.
