To support the telematics and infotainment services, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication requires a robust and reliable network. To do this, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has recently developed V2X communication. For reliable communication, accurate channel estimation should be done. However, because vehicle speed is very fast, radio channel is rapidly changed with time. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately estimate the channel. In this paper, we propose the new linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel interpolation scheme based on the Long Term Evolution (LTE) sidelink system in vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) environments. In our proposed reduced decision error (RDE) channel estimation scheme, LMMSE channel estimation is applied in the pilot symbol, and then in the data symbol, smoothing and LMMSE channel interpolation scheme is applied. After that, time and frequency domain averaging are applied to obtain the whole channel frequency response. In addition, the LMMSE equalizer of the receiver side can reduce the error propagation due to the decision error. Therefore, it is possible to detect the reliable data. Analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms currently conventional schemes in normalized mean square error (NMSE) and bit error rate (BER).

Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) are widely utilized not only in lighting but also in various applications such as mobile phones, automobiles, displays, etc. The integration of LED lighting with communication, specifically Visible Light Communication(VLC), has gained significant attention. This paper presents the direct implementation and experimentation of a Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V) Visible Light Communication system using commonly used red and yellow LEDs in typical vehicles. Data collected from the leading vehicle, including positional and speed information, were modulated using Non-Return-to-Zero On-Off Keying(NRZ-OOK) and transmitted through the rear lights equipped with red and yellow LEDs. A photodetector(PD) received the visible light signals, demodulated the data, and restored it. To mitigate the interference from fluorescent lights and natural light, a PD for interference removal was installed, and an interference removal device using a polarizing filter and a differential amplifier was employed. The performance of the proposed visible light communication system was analyzed in an ideal case, indoors and outdoors environments. In an outdoor setting, maintaining a distance of approximately 30[cm], and a transmission rate of 4800[bps] for inter-vehicle data transmission, the red LED exhibited a performance improvement of approximately 13.63[dB], while the yellow LED showed an improvement of about 11.9[dB].

This paper proposes a message transfer application using smartphone with NFC(Near Field Communication) and GCM(Goolge Cloud Messaging) technology for prevention of personal information leakage. In implementing for the proposed system, we design a NFC-based vehicle status alerts service which make it possible to communicate with smartpone message without phone-number between a car driver and an unspecified person. The application provides message communication mechanism without exposing the real phone number, using the NFC tag written with the driver's smartphone device ID and GCM push messages. Through the evaluation result of the actual implemented application, the proposed system can be efficient technology in protection for leakage of personal information such as personal phone- number in daily life.

Recently, demands on civilian UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has been increasing and appropriate communication system is required for the UAV. In this paper, the performance of the UAV communication system using commercial wireless mobile network is discussed. The main service area of the wireless mobile network is ground level however the flying range of the UAV is normally in high altitude. Because of this mismatch of service area the performance of the UAV communication system is degraded in high altitude. To compensate performance degradation of the UAV communications system in high altitude, adaptive array antenna is introduced which is able to overcome altitude limitation of the UAV communication system.

This study is concerned with the design of the communication based evaluation simulator for the development of the operational control algorithm for PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system which has very short headway and requires accurate speed control of the vehicles to avoid the impact between the vehicles. The evaluation simulator is composed of central control system, vehicle control system, communication control system, AP for wireless communication, and monitoring system. For the mobile characteristics of the PRT vehicles wireless communication is employed for the transmission of the control and status information between the central control system and the vehicle control system. By using simple test operational control algorithm the effectiveness of the proposed evaluation simulator is shown.

The first purpose of this study is to develop a GCS(Ground Control System) by using RF(Radio Frequency) wireless communication equipments for UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The second goal is to develop an antenna tracking system operating automatically. UAV receives flight data from a RF wireless system. So the role of antenna tracking system is very important to keep good communication state between UAV and GCS. GCS can check flight data and display a aviation state of UAV in real-time. The flight data displayed in real-time by GCS include the latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and so on. Experiments that measure a communication range and reliability are needed to develop a RF wireless communication system.

In this research, a real-time tele-operation system for unmanned excavator using the LTE communication system is suggested. The distance between the operator and the excavator is limitless as long as the LTE communication available. The motion and video data of the excavator is synchronized using the Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) and streamed to the operator for immersion feeling. The video is played on the operator's monitor and the motion data is used to regenerate the excavator movement on the developed master platform. In general, a excavator is tele-operated using RF signal and the maximum distance for direct control is limited to within a hundred meter. In this research, the immersion tele-operation system is suggested for excavator operation within an 100ms time delay using the developed master platform, the VCU and LTE communication. A successful test run of the suggested tele-operation system has already been performed between an operator in Songpa (Seoul) and a excavator in Ansan (Gyeonggi-do) which is approximately 35 km apart.

Vehicular safety service reduces traffic accidents and traffic congestion by informing drivers in advance of threats that may occur while driving using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications in a wireless environment. For vehicle safety services, every vehicle must broadcasts a Basic Safety Message(BSM) periodically. In congested traffic areas, however, network congestion can easily happen, reduce the message delivery ratio, increase end-to-end delay and destabilize vehicular safety service system. In this paper, to solve the network congestion problem in vehicle safety communications, we approximate the relationship between channel busy ratio and the number of vehicles and use it to estimate the total network congestion. We propose a new context-aware transmit power control algorithm which controls the transmission power based on total network congestion. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using Qualnet, a network simulator. As a result, the estimation of total network congestion is accurately approximated except in specific scenarios, and the packet error rate in vehicle safety communication is reduced through transmit power control.

This paper proposes vehicle detection and tracking algorithm using a CCD camera. The proposed algorithm uses Haar-like wavelet edge detector to detect features of vehicle and estimates vehicle's location using calibration information of an image. After that, extract accumulated vehicle information in continuous k images to improve reliability. Finally, obtained vehicle region becomes a template image to find same object in the next continuous image using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features). The template image is updated in the every frame. In order to reduce SURF processing time, ROI(Region of Interesting) region is limited on expended area of detected vehicle location in the previous frame image. This algorithm repeats detection and tracking progress until no corresponding points are found. The experimental result shows efficiency of proposed algorithm using images obtained on the road.
