Signals from the Global Positioning System(GPS) satellite are used to retrieve the integrated amount of water vapor or the precipitable water vapor(PWV) along the path between a transmitting satellite and ground-based receiver. In order to retrieve the PWV from GPS signal delay in the troposphere, the actual zenith wet delay, which can be derived by extracting the zenith total delay and subtracting the actual zenith hydrostatic delay computed using surface pressure observing, will be needed. Since it has been not co-located between GPS permanent station and automated weather station, the air-pressure on the mean sea level has been used to determine the actual zenith hydrostatic delay. The directly use of this air-pressure has been caused the dilution of precision on GPS PWV retrieval. In this study, Korean reverse sea level correction method of air-pressure was suggested for the improving of GPS PWV retrieval capability and the accuracy of water vapor estimated by GPS was evaluated through a comparison with radiosonde PWV.

The received signal strengths according to the propagation distance between a transmitting shore station with a 53 m antenna hight and a receiving ship station with about 6m antenna hight from 700 m upto about 20 km are measured at ship's moving velocity of $5{\pm}1m/s$ using a single carrier signal at 150.0625MHz. In this paper, the path loss exponents at the propagation distance from 700 m to 20km are estimated via minimum-mean-square-error method using the measurements of the received signal strength, and the mean of the estimated path loss exponent become 3.79. The estimated propagation path loss exponents is similar to that calculated based on the field-strength values from 2 km to 20 km in Annex 2 of ITU-R P.1546-4, which is measuring results at maritime VHF at 100 MHz carrier frequency. Therefore, the estimated propagation path loss exponent shall be used as the expected path loss exponents for summer in costal area of South Sea of Korea.

This paper proposes a new optic link structure applicable to broad-band wireless access microcellularsystem servicing in the millimeter wave frequency band. The proposed structure utilizes photonic mixing by exploiting the nonlinear property of EOMs, which leads to the frequency up-conversion at the CS and thus, electrical mixing at a BS is not required. Moreover, via transmitting an additional optical millimeter wave carrier into the Bs, the dispenses with an active optic source, which miniaturizes the BS. We analyze CNR, IM3/C in the downlink and SFDR in the uplink. Through simulation using the typical parameter values we also show the feasibility of the proposed system based on the requirements in the current microcellular system.

In this paper, we propose a new digital duplexing scheme, called SDD(Synchronous Digital Duplexing), which can increase data efficiency and flexibility of resource by transmitting uplink signal and downlink signal simultaneously. In order to transmit uplink data and downlink data simultaneously, the proposed SDD obtains mutual informations between AP(access point) and each SSs(subscriber station), SS and other SSs by mutual ranging procedure. These informations are used for selection of transmission time, decision of CS insertion, setting of CS length, and FFT duration resetting, etc. It is shown that the proposed SDD is appropriate for duplexing scheme in indoor environments over the conventional TDD(Time Division Duplexing) and FDD(Frequency Division Duplexing).

This paper proposes a multiple-relay-assisted single side band (SSB) space frequency block code (SFBC) single carrier (SC)-frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system and measures the performance of SSB SFBC SC-FDMA transmission system with the signal-to-noise power ratio SNR) between relays and a destination station. As we know, the performance of relay-assisted transmission systems can be easily improved by re-transmitting to the destination station after applying block code to the recovered transmitted signals of relays. In this paper, the performance improvement of the relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system can be obtained without any significant increase of system computational complexity by implementing block code with the complex conjugates symmetric characteristic of SSB system. The simulation result shows that the SNR performance of the proposed multiple-relay-assisted SSB SFBC SC-FDMA system is about 4 dB better than the performance of the single-relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system at the symbol error rate of 10^-2.

Wireless communication system for firefighters has an important role as the last communication method between the commander and the firefighters in disaster sites like fire. But the operation of Gyeongnam wireless communication system is installed, and maintained and controlled without criteria for the selection of a transmitting station and the analysis of propagation environment because of the lack of budget and the absence of professional personnel. To improve the performance of the radio station, this paper theoretically calculated free space loss of UHF 400 MHz band used by all firefighters in Gyeongnam and diffractions caused by single and multiple obstacles and computed the error after comparing the results of the actual measurement to those of simulation with FRAS operated by KFL. In the results, Deygout model was the most consistent with the actual measurement for 400MHz band in Kimhae site.

The development of low-power wireless communication and low-cost multi-functional smart sensor has enabled the sensor network that can perceive the status information in remote distance. Sensor nodes are sending the collected data to the node in the base station through temporary communication path using the low-cost RF communication module. Sensor nodes get the energy supply from small batteries, however, they are installed in the locations that are not easy to replace batteries, in general, so it is necessary to minimize the average power consumption of the sensor nodes. It is known that the RF modules used for wireless communication are consuming 20-60% of the total power for sensor nodes. This study suggests the probability inference heuristic based non-periodic transmission to send the collected information to the base station node, when the calculated value by probability is bigger than an optional random value, adapting real-time to the variation characteristics of sensing datain order to improve the energy consumption used in the transmission of sensed data. In this transmission method suggested, transmitting is decided after evaluation of the data sensed by the probability inference heuristic algorithm and the directly sensed data, and the coefficient that is needed for its algorithm is decided through the reappearance rate of the algorithm verification data.

Mass mortalities of cultivated organisms have occurred frequently in Korean coastal waters causing enormous losses to cultivating industry. The preventive measures require continuous observation of farm environment and real-time provision of data. However, line hanging aquaculture farm are generally located far from monitoring buoys and has limitations on installation of heavy equipments. Substituting battery pack for solar panels and miniaturizing size of buoy, newly developed system can be attached to long line hanging aquaculture farm. This system could deliver measured data to users in real-time and contribute to damage mitigation and prevention from mass mortalities as well as finding their causes. The system was installed off Gijang and Yeongdeck in Korea, measuring and transmitting seawater temperature at the sea surface every 30 minutes. Short term variation of seawater temperature, less than one day, in Gijang from June to July 2009 corresponded tidal period of about 12 hours and long term variation seemed to be caused by cold water southeast coast of Korea, particularly northeast of Gijang. Seawater temperature differences between Gijang station and the other station that is about 500 m away from Gijang station were $1^{\circ}C$ on average. This fact indicates that it is need to be pay attention to use substitute data even if it is close to the station. Daily range of seawater temperature, one of crucial information to aquaculture, can be obtained from this system because temperature were measured every 30 minutes. Averages of daily range of temperature off Gijang and Yeongdeok during each observation periods were about $2.9^{\circ}C$ and $4.7^{\circ}C$ respectively. Dominant period of seawater temperature variation off Yeongdeok was one day with the lowest peak at 5 a.m. and the highest one at 5 p.m. generally, resulting from solar radiation.

A rapid increase of data amount, used in ship-to-ship transmission of safety and logistics information, ships in the inland sea have trouble transmitting real-time information transmission due to an increase in traffic load caused by data transmitted by land station and offshore ships. In this study, therefore, communication is carried out by adaptively controlling the detailed beam width based on the distribution of offshore ships in land station durable in marine environment. Then after the adaptive sector system enabling real-time communication support between ships concentrated in an inland sea and land station is applied, the performance verification is conducted based on the respective Call Blocking Rates of an omnidirectional antenna, fisted sector system, and adaptive sector system. The performance verification result shows that adaptive sector system has better performance than the fixed sector system as the density of ship, q value, increases, and that the smaller the beam width is, the better performance of adaptive sector system will be.

In order to cope with shadow areas and to extend cell coverage, relay-assisted wireless communication systems have been widely studied. In this paper, we propose a space-frequency(SF) block coded orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) transmission system in a relaying multi-path shadow area. The receiving performance of mobile station in a shadow area can be improved by applying SF block code to the recovered signals of multiple relays before re-transmitting them. The simulation result shows that the proposed SF block coded OFDMA transmission system considerably outperforms the conventional single-path OFDMA transmission system.
