To resolve energy depletion issues in massive Internet of Things sensor networks, we developed a set of distributed energy beamforming methods with one-bit feedback and clustering for multi-node wireless energy transfer, where multiple singleantenna distributed energy transmitters (Txs) transfer their energy to multiple nodes wirelessly. Unlike previous works focusing on distributed information beamforming using a single energy receiver (Rx) node, we developed a distributed energy beamforming method for multiple Rx nodes. Additionally, we propose two clustering methods in which each Tx node chooses a suitable Rx node. Furthermore, we propose a fast distributed beamforming method based on Tx sub-clustering. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed distributed beamforming method makes it possible to transfer wireless energy to massive numbers of sensors effectively and rapidly with small implementation complexity. We also analyze the energy harvesting outage probability of the proposed beamforming method, which provides insights into the design of wireless energy transfer networks with distributed beamforming.

A method using beamforming has been developed to measure absorption coefncient of oblique incidence. MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) method detects the angle of incidence and reflection. And beamforming method separates the incident and reflected wave. And spatial smoothing technique is used to reduce the coherence between the incident and reflected wave. The test material were modeled as a locally reacting surface. Numerical and experiment results are performed to verify the performance of proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a new beamforming method which is used in Multiple User-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) system. An experimental system consists of LTE based TDD base-station which has 2 MIMO elements each of which contains 10-array antennas and 2 mobile terminals each of which has a single antenna. We demonstrate that the Multiple Access Interference can further be reduced by appending a beamforming procedure in MU-MIMO system in which various users share a given channel resource. The proposed algorithm is the ordinary Lagrange beamforming algorithm combined with Zero-Forcing. It is demonstrated that the proposed beamforming method outperforms a conventional method which is the ZF at least by 8dB in terms of SNR through computer simulations. From experimental tests, we verify the feasibility of the proposed beamforming algorithm for realizing a practical LTE based TDD base-station for utilizing channel resources more efficiently.

Microphone array techniques are being used widely in wind tunnel measurements for identification of the distributed aerodynamic noise sources on the model being tested. Depending on the frequencies and sound levels, conventional beamforming algorithm has limitation in separating two adjacent sources. Several modifications to the classical beamforming have been developed to enhance way resolution and reduce sidelobe levels. In this Paper the robust adaptive beamforming and the CLEAN algorithm are used to compare to the result of conventional beamforming method. It is found that the CLEAN algorithm is capable of pin-pointing locations of multiple sources nearby, while these sources are unidentifiable with robust adaptive or conventional beamforming techniques.

In beamforming method, source positions are predicted by MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) power method and composite sound fields can then be decomposed into each partial field by beamforming, detenninistically without restriction of the distance between reference microphones and sources. However, reference microphone array shape is important in both MUSIC and beamforming method. Thus the present paper describes the effect of the reference microphone array shape.

본 논문에서는 원형 배열 안테나를 사용한 무선 메쉬 네트워크 LOS 환경에서 다중 노드 빔 형성을 위한 SIR 향상 빔 형성 전력 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 다중 노드 접속을 위한 다중 노드 빔 형성 시 존재하는 전력 제한 조건을 만족시키며 송신 전력이 최대화되는 다중 빔 전력 할당 기법이다. 전산 모의 실험을 통하여 제안 한 빔 형성 전력 할당을 적용하였을 때 UCA 안테나에서 기존의 방법보다 다중 노드의 SIR이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 cdma2000-1x FDD 시스템의 순방향 링크 송신 성능 향상을 위해 공통빔(파이럿, 페이징, 싱크 채널)과 개별통화 채널에 대한 진폭과 위상을 정합 시키는 빔 형성 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 기법에서는 상이한 두 채널간의 위상이 정확히 일치함을 가정하여 시스템의 성능이 평가 되었다. 그러나 실제 CDMA 시스템 환경에서는 두 채널간의 위상이 상이할 경우 비트 오율이 심각히 열화 되므로 현실적으로 기존의 제안된 방법은 사용할 수 없다. 따라서 기존의 순방향 빔 형성 기법과 달리 제안된 순방향 빔 형성기법, 즉 공통채널과 통화채널의 크기와 위상을 맞추기 위한 빔합성 기법을 적용하여 기존 방법대비 낮은 비트오율로 양질의 통신이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Method a target estimation in spatial are mobile wireless communication using network cell and GPS. It have much error that mobile wireless communication depend on cell size. GPS method can't find a target in shadow and inner area. In this paper, we estimate a target as direction of arrival method using adaptive array antenna system. Adaptive array antenna system can obtain desired signal to remove other signal This paper studied digital beamforming method in order to estimation a target. Proposed method is modified optimum weight and antenna error correction to estimation an optimal receive signal. Digital beamforming method decided a signal phase and amplitude from received signal on array antenna element. But if it is not to do error correction of received signal, system performance have decreased. Firstly, we proposed modified optimum weight in order to finding desired target. Secondly, we are error correction of antenna incident signals by optimal weight before digital beamforming method. Thirdly, throughly simulation, we showed that system performance of proposed method compare proposal method with general method. It have improved resolution of estimation target to good performance more proposed method than general method.

A method using beamforming algorithm has been developed to measure oblique incidence reflection coefficients of sound absorption materials. MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) method detects the angles of incidence and reflection. By separating the incident and reflected waves using beamforming method, the reflection coefficient is calculated. Spatial smoothing technique is also used to reduce the coherence between the incident and reflected waves. The test materials were modeled as a locally reacting surface. Numerical and experiment results are performed to verify the acuracy of proposed method.
