A joint resource-optimization scheme is investigated for nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-enhanced scalable video coding (SVC) multicast in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted radio-access networks (RANs). This scheme allows a ground base station and UAVs to simultaneously multicast successive video layers in SVC with successive interference cancellation in NOMA. A video quality-maximization problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem to determine the UAV deployment and association, RAN spectrum allocation for multicast groups, and UAV transmit power. The optimization problem is decoupled into the UAV deployment-association, spectrum-partition, and UAV transmit-power-control subproblems. A heuristic strategy is designed to determine the UAV deployment and association patterns. An upgraded knapsack algorithm is developed to solve spectrum partition, followed by fast UAV power fine-tuning to further boost the performance. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme improves the average peak signal-to-noise ratio, aggregate videoreception rate, and spectrum utilization over various baselines.

본 논문에서는 IS-2000 시스템에 적합한 심볼 분할 OTD (orthogonal transmit diveristy)를 제안하였다. 심볼 분할 OTD는 Meyer가 제안한 심볼 분할과 OTD를 결합하여 최대 경로 다이버시티 및 시간 다이버시티 이득을 얻기에 IS-2000 순방향 성능을 개선시킬 수 있다. 이를 IS-2000 표준의 순방향 fundamental 채널에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 그리고, 그 결과를 기존의 IS-2000 표준에서 채택된 OTD와 STS (space-time spreading)의 성능과 비교하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 IS-2000 시스템에 적용할 경우, 1% FER (frame error rate)을 얻기 위한 송신전력이 OTD의 경우보다 0.5-7.7dB 정도 감소되어 STS의 성능과 거의 일치하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 송신신호의 PAR(peak-to-average power ratio)가 STS보다 적으므로, 기지국 전력증폭기와 같은 RF 회로의 복잡도를 감소시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다.

When operating in frequency-division duplex (FDD) mode, transmit beamforming in multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless communication systems typically requires accurate knowledge of downlink channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. In practical FDD systems, obtaining such downlink CSI at the transmitter is challenging, if not impractical. To circumvent such challenge and support user mobility, we present a new method for transmit beamforming based on simple beam-control commands (BCCs) in MISO FDD mobile systems. We then numerically evaluate the effects of BCC errors in terms of transmit power efficiency, system capacity, and outage probability.

이동 애드혹 네트워크에서 단말의 전력절감과 관련된 기술은 송신전력제어(transmit power control; TPC), 전력절감모드(power-saving mode; PSM), 라우팅(routing)으로 나뉠 수 있다. TPC와 PSM은 주로 하위 물리 및 데이터링크 계층에서 담당하는 반면 라우팅은 상위 네트워크 계층에서 담당하므로 이들 알고리즘들이 하나의 목적을 위해 보다 나은 성능을 제공하기 위해서는 통합된 관점에서의 알고리즘 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 애드혹 네트워크에서 주어진 종단간 전송률을 만족시키면서 전송 경로의 생존시간을 최대화하는 것을 목적으로 전력절감과 라우팅의 결합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방안은 먼저 단말의 송신전력을 줄이기 위하여 TPC 또는 PSM을 적용하여 개별 단말의 생존시간을 증가시키고, 이후 결정된 노드 생존시간을 고려하여 라우팅을 수행함으로써 멀티홉 전체 경로의 생존시간을 극대화한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안방식은 네트워크의 단말 수 및 간섭량의 변화에 따라 요구 전송률을 만족시키면서 생존시간을 극대화시킨다.

This paper considers the use of the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) technique to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal in wireless communication systems. Search complexity is very high in the traditional PTS scheme because it involves an extensive random search over all combinations of allowed phase vectors, and it increases exponentially with the number of phase vectors. In this paper, a suboptimal metaheuristic algorithm for phase optimization based on an improved harmony search (IHS) is applied to explore the optimal combination of phase vectors that provides improved performance compared with existing evolutionary algorithms such as the harmony search algorithm and firefly algorithm. IHS enhances the accuracy and convergence rate of the conventional algorithms with very few parameters to adjust. Simulation results show that an improved harmony search-based PTS algorithm can achieve a significant reduction in PAPR using a simple network structure compared with conventional algorithms.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can achieve the increasing of performances by using an adaptive power allocation. The related previous work limited the transmit antenna number because orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) yield full transmit rate only for two transmit antennas. We extend a robust system under imperfect channel estimation for four transmission antennas with maintaining a full transmission rate.

The main purpose of cooperative communications is improvement of communication quality and efficient use of transmission power. In this paper, a cooperative retransmission method is proposed, where neighbor nodes that receive messages correctly between transmit and receive nodes will participate in retransmission of the erroneous packet of the direct link. When the proposed retransmission method is used, the performance of the PER can be greatly improved. In case that the limited information is included in the NACK message, the transmit power of the retransmission packet can be reduced using the proper power control method.

This paper shows the analysis of the inductive power transfer system in conjunction with series resonant converter operating variable high frequency. Of particular interest is the sensitivity of the complete system to variations in operational frequency and parameters. In inductive power transfer system, electrical power is transferred from a primary winding in the form of a coil or track, to one or more isolated pick-up coils that may relative to the primary. The ability to transmit power without contact enables high reliability and easy maintenance that allows inductive power transfer system to be implemented in hostile environments. This technology has found application in many fields such as electric vehicles, PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) etc. The coupling between the primary and secondary is then presented to include the effects of parameter and operational frequency variation.

In multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) system, zero forcing beamforming (ZFB) is regarded as a realistic solution for transmitting scheme due to its low complexity and simple structure. However, ZFB shows a significant performance degradation when channel matrix has large condition number. In this case, the largest singular value of the channel inversion matrix has a dominant effect on transmit power. In this paper, we propose a perturbation method for reducing an effect of the dominant singular value. In the proposed algorithm, channel inverse matrix is first decomposed by SVD for the transmit signal to be expressed as a combination of singular vectors. Then, the transmit signal is perturbed to reduce the coefficient of the singular vector corresponding to the largest singular value. When a number of transmit antennas is 4, the simulation results of this paper shows that the proposed method shows 8dB performance enhancement at 10-3 uncoded bit error rate (BER) compared with conventional ZFB. Also, the simulation results show that the proposed method provides a comparable performance to Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding (THP) with much lower complexity.

본 논문에서는 다수의 송수신기 쌍과 다수의 중계 노드로 구성된 분산 빔포밍 Amplify-and-Forward (AF) 중계 네트워크를 다루고 있다. 제안한 방법에서는 빔포머 수의 자유도를 높이기 위하여 첫 번째 단계에서 송신기들이 직교 채널을 이용하여 중계기로 신호를 보낸다. 두 번째 단계에서 각 중계기는 송신기로부터 받은 신호에 복소 가중치를 곱하여 신호를 증폭하고 역방향 채널에 의해 생긴 위상 변화를 조정하여 하나의 채널로 수신기에 신호를 보낸다. 최적의 빔포밍 벡터는 서비스 품질 수준을 만족시키기 위해 수신기 각각의 신호 대 간섭 및 잡음비가 특정 문턱값보다 크면서 전체 중계 전송 전력을 최소화시키도록 구하였다. 모의실험을 통해 기존의 직교 분할 다중화 방법과 공간 분할 다중화 방법에 비하여 적당히 낮은 데이터 속도 범위에서 중계 송신 전력을 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
