In this paper, the W(ultra widebend) system is used for high speed transmission applying BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) and QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), and utilizing the convolution coding with code rate, 1/2 and constraint length, K=7 in order to reduce the bit error rate. And the performance of system is analyzed in the AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel environment by using the Viterbi decoding algorithm and adopting the time-hopping sequence as a multiple access method in order to avoid the multiuser interference.

Energy conservation is an important issue in wireless networks, especially for self-organized, low power, low data-rate impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) networks, where every node is a battery-driven device. To conserve energy, it is necessary to turn node into sleep state when no data exist. This paper addresses the energy consumption analysis of Direct-Sequence (DS) versus Time-Hopping (TH) multiple accesses and two kinds of sleeping protocols (slotted and unslotted) in PHY-MAC for Un networks. We introduce an analytical model for energy consumption or a node in both TH and DS multiple accesses and evaluate the energy consumption comparison between them and also the performance of the proposed sleeping protocols. Simulation results show that the energy consumption per packet of DS case is less than TH case and for slotted sleeping is less than that of unslotted one for bursty load case, but with respect to the load access delay unslotted one consumes less energy, that maximize node lifetime.

Ultra-wideband(UWB) is a killer technology for short-range wireless communications. In the past, most of the UWB research focused on physical layer but the unique characteristics of UWB make it different to design the upper layer protocols than conventional narrow band systems. Cross-layer protocols have received high attention for UWB networks. In this paper, we investigate the performance of two physical layer schemes: Time Hopping Binary Pulse Position Modulation(TH-BPPM) and Time Hopping Binary Pulse Amplitude Modulation (TH-BPAM) with proposed private MAC protocol for UWB ad-hoc networks. From pulse level to packet level simulation is done in network simulator ns-2 with realistic network environments for varying traffic load, mobility and network density. Our simulation result shows TH-BPAM outperforms TH-BPPM in high traffic load, mobility and dense network cases but in a low traffic load case identical performance is achieved.

The IEEE 802.15.4a specification targets the low-rate (LR) Impulse-radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) system which is now widely applied in the WPANs considering rather short distance communications with low complexity and power consumption. The physical (PHY) layer uses concatenated coding with mixed binary phase-shift keying and binary pulse-position modulation (BPSK-BPPM), and direct sequence spreading with time hopping in order that both coherent and non-coherent receiver architectures are supported. In this paper, the performances of multiple access schemes compliant with IEEE 802.15.4a specification are investigated with energy detection receiver, which allow avoiding the complex channel estimation needed by a coherent receiver. However, the performance of energy detection receiver is severely degraded by multi-user interference (MUI), which largely diminishes one of the most fascinating advantages of UWB, namely robustness to MUI as well as the possibility to allow parallel transmissions. So as to improve the performance of multiple access schemes, we propose to apply the novel TH sequences as well as to increase the number of TH positions. The simulation results show that our novel multiple access schemes significantly improve the performance against MUI.

Wireless communication has become the promising technology in the recent times because of its applications in Internet of Things( IoT) devices. The IEEE 802.15.4e has become the key technology for IoT devices which utilizes the Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) networks for the communication between the devices. In this paper, we develop a Two Level Scheduling Algorithm (TLSA) for scheduling multiple packets with different arrival rate at the source nodes in a TSCH networks based on the link activated by a centralized scheduler. TLSA is developed by considering three types of links in a network such as link i with packets arrival type 1, link j with packets arrival type 2, link k with packets arrival type 3. For the data packets arrival, two stages in a network is considered.At the first stage, the packets are considered to be of higher priority.At the second stage, the packets are considered to be of lower priority.We introduce level 1 schedule for the packets at stage 1 and level 2 schedule for the packets at stage 2 respectively. Finally, the TLSA is validated with the two different energy functions i.e., y = e^ax - 1 and y = 0.5x² using MATLAB 2017a software for the computation of average and worst ratios of the two levels.

The exact bit error rate(BER) calculation of an UWB-TH PPM multiple access communication system, which is known to be suitable for the fast transmission of massive information data, is introduced. The statistic feature of the multiple access intereference (MAI) of the system is precisely modeled by the characteristic function technique. The concrete expression for the MAI allows the exact expression for BER to be derived. In addition, we propose the approximate expression for the BER which reveals superior accuracy to the expression from the previous Gaussian approximation of the MAI. The validity of the proposed expressions is confirmed from the comparison of proposed results with the results from Monte-Carlo simulation.

In this paper, the performance of the narrowband channelized radiometer that have a short detection time and high time-resolution was verified based on the theoretical formula. According to the simulation result, the channelized radiometer showed 2.5 dB superior detection performance compared to the broadband radiometer, but is more sensitive to the effects of noise than the broadband radiometer. Also the signal-to-noise of a channelized radiometer was changed dramatically according to the hop rate and jitter effect, which is linearly decreased as the change of two parameters.

Vanadate glasses using $B_2O_3$ as a network former and with CuO additive were mainly investigated in relation to electrical properties. Crystalline phases formed by heat-treatment in each composition were examined and dc electrical conductivity changes of the glasses were analyzed. Crystalline phases were identified as $V_3O_5,\;a-CuV_2O_6\;and\;{\beta}-CuV_2O_6$ by XRD analysis. Crystallization degrees of $V_2O_5$ and ${\beta}-CuV_2O_6$ were little changed with heat-treatment time, but those of ${\alpha}u-CuV_2O_6$ were changed sharply with heat-treatment time. The more crystallization of ${\alpha}u-CuV_2O_6$ occurred, the higher electrical conductivity was observed. Electrical conductivities with $10^{-2}~10^{-4}/{\Omega}/cm$ at room temperature(303K) could be obtained by controlling the glass compositions. The electrical conductivities were increased with increasing of $V_20_5$ content and decreasing of alkality($CuO/B_2O_3$). In this study, electron was proved to be charge carrier by seebeck coefficient measurement. Accordingly, the glasses are believed to be n-type semiconductor. Calculated activation energies for the conduction were in the range 0.098-0.124 eV. Electrical conduction mechanism was small polaron hopping without showing variable range hopping in the temperature range $30~200^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we proposed a concept of interference load to analyze the performance of spectrum sharing technologies in unlicensed frequency bands. The interference load can quantitatively compare the technical properties of various spectrum sharing technologies, such as frequency hopping(FH), duty cycle(DC), listen-before-talk(LBT). Therefore, it can help to evaluate whether a local regulation about spectrum sharing is reasonably established or not. In order to verify the suggested concept, we applied it to 2.4 GHz frequency bands. Also, we demonstrated a real-time test-bed. Two bit error rate(BER) curves for FH with 10 random channels and DC of 10 %, show such good agreement that our proposed concept is expected to be widely used to assess various spectrum sharing technologies.

We have carried out the measurements of complex dielectric constants with impedance/gain-phase analyzer using capacitor method and the experiments of high temperature X-ray powder diffraction with X-ray diffractometer using ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ scan method for the KTP single crystal which has the premium nonlinear optical properties. From the results of high temperature X-ray powder diffraction experiments, we have found that KTP does not undergo structural phase transition below $900^{\circ}C$. It is clear that KTP undergoes structural phase transition around $900^{\circ}C$ and belongs to orthorhombic above $900^{\circ}C$ still. However, we have applied phenomenological relation of dielectric relaxation to the results of complex dielectric measurement and have found that relaxation mechanism of KTP well satisfies the Cole-Cole relation over the temperature range from $-78^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. And also the relaxation time well satisfies the Vogel-Fulcher relation. It is regarded that the hopping and thermally activated diffusion mechanism may control the conduction behavior of KTP above $200^{\circ}C$.
