In this paper, we evaluate the performance of up-link multi-user MIMO systems with SM. The receiver demodulates the received signal using ML method determines the signal which seems to be the most probable after comparing the received signal and all transmitted signal candidates. When transmitting with the same data rate, the SM method shows better performance of bit error rate(BER) than that of the space shift keying(SSK) of the previously proposed multi-user system.

A new low-complexity differential detection technique, fractional multi-bit differential detection (FMDD), is proposed in order to improve the performance of continuous phase modulation (CPM) signals such as Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) and Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK). In comparison to conventional one-bit differential detected (1DD) GFSK, the FMDD-employed GFSK provides a signal-to-noise ratio advantage of up to 1.8 dB in an AWGN channel. Thus, the bit-error rate performance of the proposed FMDD is brought close to that of an ideal coherent detection while avoiding the implementation complexity associated with the carrier recovery. In the adjacent channel interference environment, FMDD achieves an even larger SNR advantage compared to 1DD.

To enhance the symbol error rate (SER) performance of the two-way relay channels with physical layer network coding, this letter proposes a relay selection scheme, in which the relay with the maximal minimum distance between different points in its constellation among all relays is selected to assist two-way transmissions. We give the closed-form expression of minimum distance for binary phase-shift keying and quadrature phase-shift keying. Additionally, we design a low-complexity method for higher-order modulations based on look-up tables. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the SER performance for two-way relay networks.

The interrelation between abusive game designers and players are revealed and considered as one of the game arts by Miguel Sicart. This study is based on the frame analysis of Ervin Goffman. The player centered game design, in the case of a digital game, is penetrated into the frame, and player's experience and game frame at the same level can be assumed as positive down-keying. Conversely, confusion of the game is experienced by the players and perceptions about the games are required. The term of Miguel Sicart, generated the abusive game design in the view of the game art, considers both common game and design of the game, respectively. Nevertheless, the abusive game design refreshes the reflections of players in a game and presents possibilities of bridging the designs of standard games through the techniques and devices.

This paper discusses the design of bio-implanted ultra-low-power MICS RF transceivers for wireless sensor networks. The 400 MHz MICS standard was considered for the implementation of the WBAN wireless sensor system, indirectly minimizing radio propagation losses in the human body and the inference with surrounding networks. This paper includes link budget, various transmission and reception architectures for a system design and ultra-low power transceiver circuit techniques for the implementation of RF transceivers that meet MICS standards.

This paper reports on our development of a dual-mode transceiver for a CMOS high-rate Bluetooth system-onchip solution. The transceiver includes most of the radio building blocks such as an active complex filter, a Gaussian frequency shift keying (GFSK) demodulator, a variable gain amplifier (VGA), a dc offset cancellation circuit, a quadrature local oscillator (LO) generator, and an RF front-end. It is designed for both the normal-rate Bluetooth with an instantaneous bit rate of 1 Mb/s and the high-rate Bluetooth of up to 12 Mb/s. The receiver employs a dualconversion combined with a baseband dual-path architecture for resolving many problems such as flicker noise, dc offset, and power consumption of the dual-mode system. The transceiver requires none of the external image-rejection and intermediate frequency (IF) channel filters by using an LO of 1.6 GHz and the fifth order onchip filters. The chip is fabricated on a $6.5-mm^{2}$ die using a standard $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Experimental results show an in-band image-rejection ratio of 40 dB, an IIP3 of -5 dBm, and a sensitivity of -77 dBm for the Bluetooth mode when the losses from the external components are compensated. It consumes 42 mA in receive ${\pi}/4-diffrential$ quadrature phase-shift keying $({\pi}/4-DQPSK)$ mode of 8 Mb/s, 35 mA in receive GFSK mode of 1 Mb/s, and 32 mA in transmit mode from a 2.5-V supply. These results indicate that the architecture and circuits are adaptable to the implementation of a low-cost, multi-mode, high-speed wireless personal area network.

In this paper, we design and implement a high speed power-line communication modem, supported up to the transmission rate of 480kbps in a lower frequency band of under 450kHz. The power-line channel model is discussed in the sense of the lower frequency band, and the transmission technique of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is considered to improve the throughput effectively. According to the power-line channel variation, the designed modem can select the modulation mapping between a 16-QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) or a QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying). Thus, it makes a sufficient QoS even in a poor channel environments. With a implementation result, we show that it gives a variable transmission rate of 480kbps or 240kbps in the signal bandwidth of $50kHz{\sim}450kHz$.

A 10-Gbit/s wireless communication system operating at a carrier frequency of 300 GHz is presented. The modulation scheme is amplitude shift keying in incoherent mode with a high intermediate frequency (IF) of 30 GHz and a bandwidth of 20 GHz for transmitting a 10-Gbit/s baseband (BB) data signal. A single sideband transmission is implemented using a waveguide-tapered 270-GHz high-pass filter with a lower sideband rejection of around 60 dB. This paper presents an all-electronic design of a terahertz communication system, including the major modules of the BB and IF band as well as the RF modules. The wireless link shows that, aided by a clock and data recovery circuit, it can receive $2^7$-1 pseudorandom binary sequence data without error at up to 10 Gbit/s for over 1.2 m using collimating lenses, where the transmitted power is 10 ${\mu}W$.

무선센서네트워크를 위한 무선센서노드는 한정된 전력원을 이용하여 수천에서 수만시간의 동작을 가능하게 해야하므로 초저전력 (Ultra Low Power: ULP) 소모가 매우 중요한 설계 요구조건이 된다. 이를 위해 센서노드의 동작 주기(Duty Cycling)를 제어하는 기법이 전체 전력소모를 줄이는 매우 중요한 기술로 사용되고 있다. 회로의 전력 소모 감소를 위한 몇 가지 중요한 기술에는 회로적으로는 전류 재사용기술과 송수선기 구조로는 Super-regenerative 구조와 On-Off Keying 송수신기 구조가 있다. 또한 ULP Radio가 휴면모드에도 Wake-up을 가능하게 하기 위해서는 초저전력 클락 발생기 회로가 1${\mu}W$이하의 전력소모로 구현할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 사항들을 적절히 고려함으로써 초저전력 CMOS Radio를 구현할 수 있다.

In this paper, we are performance analysis of IEEE 802.15.4b LR-WAPN(Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network; Zigbee) system noncoherent receivers at 915MHz under Jamming. IEEE 802.15.4b concerns itself with devices at 915MHz, which employ a higher data rate of up to 250 kbps, and which use O-QPSK(Offset Quradrature Phase Shift Keying modulation with DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). Communication between devices can still be hampered by the presence of interferers outside the network, whether the interference be intentional or not. Hence the receivers can not have stable receiving condition due to worse BER. To solve this problem, we present a mere stabilized receiver system of using noncoherent detection. In this paper, we look instead at the effect of jamming, i.e. intentional interference, on the BER performance of IEEE 802.15.4 devices.
