In this paper, we present a robust $H_{\infty}$ distributed power control scheme for wireless CDMA communication systems. The proposed scheme is obtained by optimizing an objective function consisting of the user's performance degradation and the network interference, and it enables a user to address various user-centric and network-centric objectives by updating power in either a greedy or energy efficient manner. The control law is fully distributed in the sense that only its own channel variation needs to be estimated for each user. The proposed scheme is robust to channel fading due to the immediate decision of the power allocation of the next time step based on the estimations from the $H_{\infty}$ filter. Simulation results demonstrate the robustness of the scheme to the uncertainties of the channel and the excellent performance and versatility of the scheme with users adapting transmit power either in a user-centric or a network-centric efficient manner.

We suggest and simulate an optical filter that a red wavelength range cannot transmit to protect the psychological stress that originates from the cognition of red color in emergency medical technicians. When a nanohole hexagonal array is fabricated on gold film using Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO), the blocked wavelength can be tuned by the hole diameter and film thickness. The characteristic of the transmittance for normal incident white light is simulated with Finite Element Method (FEM) in the MATLAB platform. Although the transmittance of the overall wavelength is reduced by 50% by the gold film, the transmittance of the red wavelength range is decreased by over 87%.

In this paper, it is shown that, in DS/CDMA mobile systems, halving or doubling the spreading factor (HSF or DSE) when retransmission is requested possibly improves the throughput. Given transmit power, DSF essentially decreases probability of packet error (PPE) by increasing the signal energy per information bit. It, however, doubles the time duration needed for transmitting the original packet. On the other hand, HSF increases PPE. It, however halves the time duration required to carry the original packet. Thus, the efficiency of HSF or DSF as a retransmission strategy depends on the amount of increased or reduced PPE after HSF or DSF is selected. With achieving given residual error probability (REP) in CDMA systems, the effective throughput is evaluated in this paper to find conditions with which HSF or DSF achieves better performance than using the original one. Analytic results show that HSF or DSF performs better when relatively small or big changes in their PPE's are present, respectively.

In this study, a multilevel visible light communication (VLC) system based on resistor ladder circuit is designed to transmit medical data. VLC technology is being considered as an alternative wireless communication due to various advantages such as ubiquity, license free operation, low energy consumption, and no radio frequency (RF) radiation characteristics. With VLC even in places where traditional RF communication (e.g., Wi-Fi) is forbidden, significant bio-medical signal including the electrocardiography (ECG) and photoplethysmography (PPG) data can be transmitted. More lives could be saved anywhere by this potential advantage of VLC with a fast emergency response time. A multilevel transmission scheme is adopted to improve the data capacity with keeping simplicity, where data transmission rate can increase by log2m times (m is the number of voltage levels) than that of conventional VLC transmission based on on/off keying. In order to generate multi-amplitudes, resistor ladder circuit, which is a basic principle of digital to analog convertor, is employed, and information is transferred through LED (Light-Emitting Diode) with different voltage level. In the receiver side, multilevel signal is detected by optical receiver including a photo diode. Then, the collected data are analyzed to serve the necessary medical care to the concerned patient.

센서 네트워크 기술이 각광을 받으면서 다양한 종류의 센서 노드로 구성된 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 센서 네트워크에서는 각 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 최소화하여 에너지 소모를 줄임으로써 네트워크의 지속시간을 늘이는 것이 무엇 보다도 중요하다. 기존의 MAC(Medium Access Control) 프로토콜은 채널 폴링 기법을 이용하여 효율적인 에너지 관리에 대한 해결책을 제시 하였으나 각 노드의 Duty Cycle이 길어짐으로써 발생하는 에너지 소모에 대한 해결책은 제시하지 못하였다. 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드를 디자인할 때 중요한 고려사항 중 하나가 제한된 자원을 가진 센서 네트워크에서 주어진 에너지 소모를 최소화 하여서 네트워크 수명을 연장하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄이기 위해 제안된 라우팅 프로토콜을 비교 에너지 소모를 줄이는 방안을 제시 한다.

We demonstrate rotationally invariant space-time (ST) trellis codes with a 4-D rectangular signal constellation for data transmission over fading channels using two transmit antennas. The rotational invariance is a good property to have that may alleviate the task of the carrier phase tracking circuit in the receiver. The transmitted data stream is segmented into eight bit blocks and quadrature amplitude modulated using a 256 point 4-D signal constellation whose 2-D constituent constellation is a 16 point square constellation doubly partitioned. The 4-D signal constellation is simply the Cartesian product of the 2-D signal constellation with it-self and has 32 subsets. The partition is performed on one side into four subsets A, B, C, and D with increased minimum-squared Euclidian distance, and on the other side into four rings, where each ring includes four points of equal energy. We propose both linear and nonlinear ST trellis codes and perform simulations using an appropriate multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model. The 4-D ST codes constructed here demonstrate about the same frame error rate (FER) performance as their 2-D counterparts, having however the added value of rotational invariance.

The IEEE 802.11 compliant stations can transmit at multiple transmission rates. Selection of an appropriate transmission rate plays a significant role in determining the overall efficiency of a communication system. The technique which determines the channel state information and accordingly selects an appropriate transmission rate is called rate-adaptation protocol. The IEEE 802.11 standard does not provide standard specification for implementing a rate-adaptation protocol for its multi-rate capable wireless stations. Due to the lack of standard specification, there is a myriad of rate-adaptation protocols, proposed by industry and various research institutes. This paper surveys the existing rate-adaptation schemes, discusses various features which contribute significantly in the process of rate-adaptation, the timing constraints on such schemes, and the performance gains in terms of throughput, delay and energy efficiency; which can be gained by the use of rate-adaptation. The paper also discusses the implication of rate-adaptation schemes on the performance of overall communication and identifies existing research challenges in the design of rate-adaptation schemes.

멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA시스템은 동일 시점에서 파일롯 채널을 제외한 모든 부채널에 동일 한 데이터가 전송된다. 이때 채널 추정을 위한 파일럿 채널의 수가 증가하게 되면 보다 정확한 채널 추정이 가능하나 데이터 채널의 감소로 인해 주파수 다이버시티의 효과가 크게 줄어들게 되어 전체적인 시스템성능을 저하시키게 된다. 따라서 파일롯 채널과 데이터 채널의 수에 대한tradeoff 가 존재하며 채널환경에 따른 요구되는 최적의 파일럿채널의 수가 결정되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 파일롯 채널을 이용한 채널추정을 갖는 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA시스템의 성능을 분석하고 채널환경에 따른 최적의 파일롯 채널구조를 제시한다. 전체 전송대역폭을 일정하게 유지했을 때 특정 채널환경에서 전체 부 반송파의 개수 및 파일롯 채널의 개수에 대한 최적값이 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 채널환경에 따른 파일롯 및 데이터 채널의 최적값을 수학적인 분석을 통해 제시한다.

In this study, we propose a spherical flux concentration structure for omnidirectional wireless power transfer. Omnidirectional wireless power transfer technology is a method that can transmit power to a transmitter located in an arbitrary position in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. However, to improve the power transfer distance in a wireless power transfer system, the diameter of the coil or the number of windings must increase, thereby increasing the size of the transmitter. The proposed transmitter structure adds a ferrite core inside the transmitter coil so that the magnetic flux generated by the transmitter is directed toward the position of the receiver. As a result, the flux linkage and the mutual inductance increase. By implementing the omnidirectional wireless power transfer system using the proposed structure, the power transfer distance can be improved by 65% compared with the conventional system without increasing the size of the transmitter. Simulation shows that the proposed spherical flux concentration structure increases the mutual inductance of the omnidirectional wireless power transmission system.
