In recent years, the Television White Space (TVWS) has attracted the interest of many researchers due to its propagation characteristics obtainable between 470MHz and 790MHz spectrum bands. The plenty of unused channels in the TV spectrum allows the secondary users (SUs) to use the channels for broadband services especially in rural areas. However, when the number of SUs increases in the TVWS wireless network the aggregate interference also increases. Aggregate interferences are the combined harmful interferences that can include both co-channel and adjacent interferences. The aggregate interference on the side of Primary Users (PUs) has been extensively scrutinized. Therefore, resource allocation (power and spectrum) is crucial when designing the TVWS network to avoid interferences from Secondary Users (SUs) to PUs and among SUs themselves. This paper proposes a model to improve the resource allocation for reducing the aggregate interface among SUs for broadband services in rural areas. The proposed model uses joint power and spectrum hybrid Firefly algorithm (FA), Genetic algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) which is considered the Co-channel interference (CCI) and Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI). The algorithm is integrated with the admission control algorithm so that; there is a possibility to remove some of the SUs in the TVWS network whenever the SINR threshold for SUs and PU are not met. We considered the infeasible system whereby all SUs and PU may not be supported simultaneously. Therefore, we proposed a joint spectrum and power allocation with an admission control algorithm whose better complexity and performance than the ones which have been proposed in the existing algorithms in the literature. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared using the metrics such as sum throughput, PU SINR, algorithm running time and SU SINR less than threshold and the results show that the PSOFAGA with ELGR admission control algorithm has best performance compared to GA, PSO, FA, and FAGAPSO algorithms.

본 논문에서는 TV 유휴대역에서 가능한 응용서비스중 하나로서, UHF 대역(470~806 MHz)에서 동작하는 무선 영상전송 시스템을 구현하였다. 이 시스템은 RF 송수신기 모듈, 디지털 모뎀, 카메라, 스크린으로 구성된다. RF 송수신기와 디지털 모뎀을 연동하여 VGA급 화질의 카메라 영상을 2.6 인치 LCD 스크린에 표시하는 방식이다. RF 송수신기 구조는 크기와 비용을 줄이기 위해 직접변환 방식을 채택하였다. 성능지표인 Image Leakage를 향상시키기 위하여 PLL의 출력에 3차 하모닉 제거필터를 사용하였으며, DC offset 문제 해결을 위해 DAC 출력노드에 Current steering technique을 이용하여 공통모드 전압을 조절하게 하였다. 또한, 채널대역폭은 국가별 표준을 맞게 6, 7, 8 MHz 중 선택이 가능하다. 출력 파워와 수신감도는 각각 +10 dBm, -82 dBm이다. 디지털모뎀은 Kintex-7급 FPGA에서 구현하였다. QPSK와 512ch OFDM 변조를 기반으로 전송속도는 약 9 Mbps이다. 개발된 송수신 모듈을 이용하여 VGA급 화질을 무선으로 송수신하는데 성공하였다.
