Asynchronous mode W-CDMA system is kmown to be quite appropriate to the next generation mobile communication system, especially in a non-homogenious cellular architecture. In this case, however, each base station needs to use different spreading code for identification, so it is a demeanding task for a mobile terminal to find the best cell site and get an accurate code synchronization at the beginning of a communication. Since slow acquisition of a base station could mean the failure of initiation, a fast algorithm to accelerate the cell search process is essential. In this paper, a new cell search algorithm based on the binary code position modulation within the code block is proposed. Different cell sites are identified by different hopping code sequences, andeach position modulation is performed by the hopping code. The proposed algorithm is proved to make the cell search time in most places in a cell much shorter than the previous algorithms, and to make the receiver implementation simpler.

The GPS new civil signal is modulated on the L2 carrier at a frequency of 1227.6MHz. The L2C signal is composed of two multiplexed code signals, which include CM code with a 10,230 chip sequency repeating every 20ms, and CL code which has a 767,250 chip sequency repeating every 1.5 seconds. Thus, the new civil signal have much improved cross correlation properties so that the position fixing can be possible even with very weak signals. However, it requires very long acquisition time because of its long code length. This paper presents an efficient signal acquisition method for L2C AGPS receiver. Snapshot mode and coarse time assistance are assumed and total integration time is given by 1.5 sec. By SNR worksheet and computer simulation, it is proven that L2C signal can be acquired with very weak power less than -150dBm. Considering the acquisition time and the sensitivity, it is recommended that the highest power signal is acquired with CM code first to reduce TTFF. By the timing synchronization, at this time, search space of the code phase for other signals can be greatly reduced so that CL code can be used in signal acquisition to maximize sensitivity with small computation.

We consider the problem of estimating a code-timing of DS-CDMA signal in antenna array systems in the presence of flat fading channels and near-far environments. We derive an approximate maximum likelihood algorithm of estimating the code-timing of a desired user for DS-CDMA systems to better utilize the time-varying characteristics of the fading process. In the development of code timing estimator, the given observation bits are divided into many sets of sub-windows with each sufficiently large. The proposed method uses sub-windows with equal size associated with the coherence time of channel fading. The alternative approach is that without the estimation of the fading rate, the sufficiently given observation bits are simply separated into two consecutive sets of sub-windows. The derivation of the proposed algorithms is based on multiple antennas partially correlated in space. The impacts of spatial fading correlation on acquisition and men acquisition time performance of the proposed algorithms are also examined.

This paper proposes the acquisition system using the multiple antennas in DS-CDMA system. The conventional acquisition schemes using multiple antennas are the methods to utilize the multi-antenna combining and the fixed multi-beam forming of a serial acquisition. Then, this paper proposes the hybrid acquisition scheme using the fixed multi-beam forming. The numerical results show the performance comparison of two acquisition schemes in terms of the acquisition time ill the multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

This paper describes a dnw serial interface system which uses comma free code. Typically parallel 25 pin cable and connectors are used to transfer and receive the data between digital systems such as HDVCR, D3VTR and HDTV Receiver.The coaxial cable is more desirable for consumer product applications and also for studio applications where long signal paths and switching are requeired. This serial data trasfer technique is possible the error detection and the self synchronization, also easy edge insertion for PLL control. It is also cost effective because is does not requeire RF PLL, scrambling, and NRZI hardware.

GPS(Global Positioning System)is a satellite-based navigation system that we can survey where we are, anywhere and anytime. In this paper, delay-lock loop of the receiver which detects the navigation data is theoretically analyzed, and designed using the digital logic circuit. Also logic operations for the synchronization are analyzed. The designed system consists of the correlator which correlates the received C/A code and the generated C/A code in the receiver, the C/A code generator which generates C/A code of selected satellite, and the direct digital clock syntheizer which generates the clock of the C/A code generator to control the C/A code phase and clock rate. From the analyses results of the proposed digital delay-lock loop system, the system has the detection propertied over 90% when its input signal power is above-113.98dB. The influence of input signal variation of digital delay loop, which is the input of A/D converter, is investigated and the performance is analyzed with the variation of threshold level via the computer simulation. The logic simulation results show that the designed system detects precisely the GPS navigation data.

This paper proposes a novel code tracking scheme to track the fine code synchronization for BOC(pn,n) modulated spreading signals. The correlation function of BOC(pn,n) modulated spreading signals has been several peaks. In this paper, we observe that the correlation function in the advanced offset region remains almost unchanged, due to the multipath signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal. Based on this observation, we propose a novel code tracking scheme which is called the advanced region correlation (ARC) method for BOC(n,n) modulated spreading signals. And, we compare with the code tracking accuracy between the conventional and proposed methods in the static multipath and land mobile satellite system channels through the Monte-Carlo simulation. Then, base on the proposed scheme, we propose the generalized-ARC (ARC) scheme for BOC(pn, n) modulated spreading signals.

s programming education becomes more important in recent years, it is necessary to learn how the source code written by students reflects Object-Oriented(OO) concepts. We present a tool called the Round-Trip Translator(RTT) that transforms the Unified Modeling Language(UML) class diagram and Java source code to provide a web-based environment that provides real-time synchronization of UML and source code. RTT was created by improving existing RTE and is a tool for students who are learning OO concepts to understand how their UML or source code reflects the concepts that user intended. This study compares the efficiency and user- friendliness of RTT with the existing Round-Trip Engineering-based tools. The results show that students have improved understanding of OO concepts through UML and source code translation by using the RTT. We also found out that students were satisfied with the use of the RTT, which provides more efficient and convenient user interface than the existing tools.

User Generated contents(UGC) interchange with internet users actively in Web2.0 environment. According to growth of content sharing site, the number of non-expert's contents increased. But non-expert's contents have a simple media just recorded. For providing actual feeling like effects and actions to non-expert's contents, we suggest Fusion Media Middleware(FMM). The FMM can increase user satisfaction by providing actual feeling. Furthermore, The content changes advanced media that has emotional impression. The FMM for providing actual feeling classify the inputted media as a scene based on MPEG-7. The FMM provide an actual feeling to simple media by inserting effects like a sound, image and text among the classified media. Using the BSD code of MPEG-21, the FMM can link up with inputted media and effects. Through the mapping BSD code the FMM control synchronization between media and effects. In this paper, Using the Fusion Media Middleware, the non-expert's contents express value as multimedia that has an actual feeling. Futhermore, the FMM creates flow of new media circulation.

In dual-channel networks (DCNs), all frequency hopping (FH) sequences used for data channels are chosen from the original FH sequence used for the control channel by shifting different initial phases. As the number of data channels increases, the hitting frequency point problem becomes considerably serious because DCNs is non-orthogonal synchronization network and FH sequences are non-orthogonal. The increasing severity of the hitting frequency point problem consequently reduces the resource utilization efficiency. To solve this problem, we propose a novel hitting frequency point collision avoidance method, which consists of a sequence-selection strategy called sliding correlation (SC) and a collision avoidance strategy called keeping silent on hitting frequency point (KSHF). SC is used to find the optimal phase-shifted FH sequence with the minimum number of hitting frequency points for a new data channel. The hitting frequency points and their locations in this optimal sequence are also derived for KSHF according to SC strategy. In KSHF, the transceivers transmit or receive symbol information not on the hitting frequency point, but on the next frequency point during the next FH period. Analytical and simulation results demonstrate that unlike the traditional method, the proposed method can effectively reduce the number of hitting frequency points and improve the efficiency of the code resource utilization.
