In this paper, we propose joint estimation methods of carrier offset and channel estimation for MB-OFDM system with low complexity. The proposed methods estimate the channel by using low-rank LMMSE channel estimation which reduces the system complexity by applying the optimal number of rank to evaluate the frequency offset and additionally using the simple algorithm using the auto-correlation property of the estimated channel. We simulate the proposed algorithms under the IEEE 802.15 TG3a UWB channel model.

CR technology is an intelligent technology which can sense the spectrum environment an adaptively adjust the parameters for wireless transmission. In this paper, by using CR-UWB, the spectrum efficiency of the transmission channel is largely improved; Furthermore, the interference to other system can be effectively avoided. In this paper, we propose a solution on interference problem of UWB system using cognitive radio. We use interference temperature model of cognitive radio that has proposed by FCC for estimating interference signal. Calculating channel capacity of UWB system with interference temperature, we suggest how to solve interference problem. We have used genetic algorithm in cognitive engine's calculation precess. The proposed UWB System with cognitive radio shows very efficient in solving interference problem.

In the recent, the importance of ubiquitous-related technique is increased as many companies and researchers make an effort to create a new service model using ubiquitous computing and network technologies. Especially, the research of indoor location recognition has gained a lot of interest because it is a critical component for supporting ubiquitous services. Nevertheless, the simulation tool for indoor location recognition hardly has studied compared to their importance. In this paper, we propose a Ptolemy-based simulator over UWB channel that provides short-range and high-bandwidth communication. Finally, we conduct experiments using the proposed simulator and analyze the performance of various location recognition algorithms.

Due to the extremely short pulse in the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, the accurate synchronization acquisition method is very important for both high data-rate WPAN and low data-rate WPAN. In this paper, we propose the synchronization acquisition algorithm based on two-step signal search method to acquire the synchronization in the UWB multi-path channel. At the first step, the search window is divided by two and the window that has higher power is chosen as a next search window. This operation is repeated until the measure power of the search window is smaller than the threshold value. At the second step, we employ Linear Search algorithm to the search window obtained at the first step for fine search. The proposed algorithm is proved that the synchronization acquisition is faster than the parallel search algorithm and it shows good performance in environment of the SNR extreme changes by the simulation.

We propose a new frequency offset estimation technique for multiband orthogonal frequency modulation (MB-OFDM) based ultra wideband (UWB) systems. The proposed frequency offset estimation technique is related to the scheme of Schmidl for channel model 1 (4-1Om NLOS, rms. delay =14.3ns.) using more than two symbols and with alternate symbols. Variance of frequency offset estimate obtained from the proposed frequency offset estimation technique approaches very nearing to Cramer Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) in an AWGN channel. BER performance of the proposed technique is also presented.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 UWB 시스템 적용시 발생하는 다중경로에 의한 시간 지연과 위상왜곡 및 전력 감쇄 성분으로 인한 왜곡 정도를 분석하였고, 실내의 구조와 건물내부 재질에 따라 왜곡 성분들의 영향을 연구하였다. 이와 같은 왜곡성분을 토대로 실제 환경과 유사한 채널 모델을 수학적으로 전계하였고, 임의의 환경에 UWB 시스템을 적용하였을 때 발생하는 다중경로와 신호 왜곡 정도를 시뮬레이션을 통해 채널 모델을 모의 실험함으로써 다양한 실내 환경에서 UWB 시스템이 고려해야 할 왜곡 성분을 분석하였다.

We present the Multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband (MB-OFDM UWB) technology for increasing the transmission reach of wireless speaker systems. The proposed scheme adopts the Reed-Solomon coding for preventing the random error perfectly and shows the SNR gain in low bit error rate (BER) especially. So, we can increase the maximum reach of MB-OFDM UWB technology since the receiver sensitivity is improved. The simulation environment includes most effects of realistic channel environments such as Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), CM1 channel model, Sampling frequency offset (SFO), Carrier frequency offset (CFO) to improve the simulation accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can give a maximum 2 dB SNR gain and increase the transmission reach up to 12.6m.

In this paper, an energy detection-based low power, low complexity IR-UWB receiver in multipath impulse radio channel is presented. The proposed receiver has a simple 1-bit sampler for energy detection. Also, multipath signal received from multipath impulse radio channel is amplified and envelope of the signal is detected. Then, energy detection technique using integrator by summing multipath signals in certain period is adopted to minimize the BER loss by simple energy detection. In particular, in acquisition of a sample signal, SNR is additionally improved using a digital sampler. Symbol decision using several sampled signals is performed and thus the process of symbol synchronization is significantly simplified. Also, it is effectively designed to be compatible with influences of multipath and timing error. In addition, the proposed receiver complexity is reduced using pulse decision window. The performance of the proposed receiver is simulated based on IEEE 802.15.4a channel model and the algorithms are implemented on FPGA.
