최근 해양사고를 예방하기 위한 선박 모니터링, 최적항로 선정, 해사안전정보 제공 등과 같은 서비스에 대한 요구가 증가됨에 따라 선박 간 혹은 선박과 육상 간 데이터 통신의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나, 기존 해상 환경에서의 통신은 위성을 제외하고는 VHF/MF/HF 등의 지상파 기반 시스템에 의존하여 왔으며, 낮은 전송 속도로 인해 신규 서비스의 높은 통신속도 요구 보장에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 해상 환경에서 고속 통신 서비스를 제공하기 위해 WiMAX, LTE 등과 같은 육상 통신시스템을 해상으로 확대하고, 통신 커버리지 확장을 위해 이기종 네트워크 간 핸드오버 및 다중홉 네트워크를 구성하려는 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 문헌에서 제안하는 해상 서비스들의 요구사항을 식별하고 이를 지원하기 위한 해상무선통신망 기술들을 통신 성능 관점에서 비교하여 초고속해상무선통신망 구축의 기초 요구자료로 활용하였다.

Whether it is crosstalk, harmonics, or in-band operation of wireless technologies, interference between a reference system and a host of offenders is virtually unavoidable. In past contributions, a benchmark has been established and considered for coexistence analysis with a number of technologies including FWA, UMTS, and WiMAX. However, the previously presented model does not take into account the mobility factor of the reference node in addition to a number of interdependent requirements regarding the link direction, channel state, data rate and system factors; hence limiting its applicability for the MBWA (IEEE 802.20) standard. Thus, over diverse modes, in this correspondence we analytically derived the greatest aggregate interference level tolerated for high-fidelity transmission tailored specifically for the MBWA standard. Our results, in the form of benchmark indicators, should be of particular interest to peers analyzing and researching RF coexistence scenarios with this new protocol.

Compact multi-band bandpass filters using quad-mode stub-loaded resonators are proposed in this letter. Firstly, a novel approach about the mode-splitting characteristics of the quadruple-mode resonator is investigated, which can provide dual-band behavior. Secondly, a quad-band filter is proposed and designed by cascading two quadruple-mode resonators; the upper one operates at 1.8/2.4 GHz (GSM- and WiMax-band) and the lower one at 1.57/2.1 GHz (GPS- and WCDMA-band). Finally, the proposed filters have been fabricated. Respectable agreement between simulation and measurement verifies the validity of this design methodology.

A combined opportunistic multiple beamforming method is presented that the first beam is designed with an aid of channel state information using uplink mid-amble and other beams are orthogonally generated to the first beam sequentially. The power allocation with SINR feedback increases overall throughput for the decentralized systems. The advantages of the proposed scheme is that the first beam is not interfered by other beams guaranteeing quality of service (QoS) and other orthogonal beams are operated opportunistically to obtain multi user diversity. The computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed scheme is effective at a small number of users, which is common in cellular systems, and outperforms conventional spatial division multiple access (SDMA) opportunistic beamforming methods.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmit pre-coding/beamforming can significantly improve system spectral efficiency. However, several obstacles prevent precoding from wide deployment in early wireless networks: The significant feedback overhead, performance degradation due to feedback delay, and the large storage requirement at the mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a precoding method that addresses these issues. In this approach, only 3 or 6 bits feedback is needed to select a precoding matrix from a codebook. There are fifteen codebooks, each corresponding to a unique combination of antenna configuration (up to 4 antennas) and codebook size. Small codebooks are prestored and large codebooks are efficiently computed from the prestored codebook, modified Hochwald method and Householder reflection. Finally, the feedback delay is compensated by channel prediction. The scheme is validated by simulations and we have observed significant gains comparing to space-time coding and antenna selection. This solution was adopted as a part of the IEEE 802.16e specification in 2005.

It is expected that many heterogeneous wireless systems, such as 3GPP LTE systems, WiMAX systems and WLAN systems, will coexist in the next generation wireless communication environments. Integrated radio resource management and seamless vertical handoff (VHO) should be supported to provide integrated communication services over multi-radio access networks. A new class of adaptive VHO system that views the handoff problem as a pattern recognition problem is proposed. In this paper, we propose a unified radio resource management (URRM) architecture and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based vertical handoff decision system. Extensive simulation studies show the proposed VHO algorithm outperforms RSS based VHO algorithms in terms of throughput and service cost.

A method to reduce the specific absorption rate(SAR) of the antenna for WiMAX mobile communication is proposed in this paper. The SAR reduction is achieved by miniaturizing the physical size of the antenna for the given resonance frequency by devising a metamaterial-composite right- and left-handed(CRLH) configuration-based radiator much smaller than the quarter-guided wavelength adopted a lot in the conventional planar inverted F antenna(PIFA) or modified monopole antenna. The proposed antenna is placed near the head-phantom and its SAR is evaluated by the full-wave simulations(SEMCAD X), where the metamaterial-inspired antenna is shown to have the lower value than a modified monopole as the reference in terms of the SAR.

This paper proposes a new diversity antenna which is the base of MIMO, tunable and reconfigurable antennas. The antenna has a small size and high inter-antenna isolation resulting from the compact radiating element comprising a meandered line and an open-loop combined in one limited uniplanar space and a modified T-shaped decoupling structure, respectively. In a WiMAX band, the radiating element and the entire antenna are $0.092{\lambda}$ and $0.2216{\lambda}$ in size, which shows effective size-reduction and the gain and efficiency of the proposed antenna attached to the ground of a handheld device are 3.7dBi and 56% acceptable to the industrial standard.

본 논문은 WiMAX 와 WLAN 네트워크 간 빠른 핸드오버를 위한 이동성 관리 방안을 제안한다. 제안방안은 MPLS 네트워크 환경을 기반으로 하고, 공용 인증키로써 MA ID(Mobility Agent Identifier)를 할당하여 핸드오버 시 재인증(Re-authentication) 및 IP 재구성을 위한 시그널링 메시지를 간소화시킨다. 따라서 이동노드가 핸드오버 할 때마다 반복적으로 요구되는 두 동작에 대한 처리가 보다 신속히 이뤄지면서 핸드오버 지연 감소의 효과를 보인다. 제안방안에 의한 성능 향상을 검증하기 위해 수식을 이용하여 기존방안과 제안방안의 핸드오버 지연을 분석하였다. 그 결과 제안방안에서의 핸드오버 지연이 기존방안 보다 더 낮음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a chip antenna using multi-layer configuration for multi-band operation, such as GSM, DCS, pcs, WCDMA, and Mobile WiMAX for 2.3 GHz is proposed. This proposed antenna is a PIFA structure with multi-layer configuration fabricated on R04003 substrate(${\varepsilon}_r=3.4$) and its size is $22{\times}5.5{\times}4.0\;mm^3$. Multi-layer structure can effectively reduce the size of an antenna from a reuse of air-space and can achieve broad bandwidth due to decrement of parallel capacitances from the insertion air-gap to the middle layer. The proposed antenna has a broadband operation by the high order resonance modes and the resonance at the top layer. The measured bandwidths with over 45 % radiation efficiency are 80 MHz($880{\sim}960\;MHz$) at the lower band and 690 MHz($1,710{\sim}2,400\;MHz$) at the higher band.
