본 논문에서는 time-varying Rayleigh fading channel에서 분산 안테나 시스템의 최적 전력 분배 기법을 제안한다. 기존 관련 연구에서는 각 기지국으로부터 수신되는 전력의 차이를 기지국간 전력 분배에 고려하지 않았으나, 최근 들어 빠르게 변하는 small scale fading까지 Channel State Information (CSI)로하여 전력 분배를 하는 경우에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 실제 무선통신 환경에서 송수신단간의 거리 차이 때문에 피드백이 반영된 신호가 수신될 때의 페이딩 채널은 피드백을 하는 시점과는 차이가 있고, 이로 인한 성능저하가 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능저하를 극복하고 CSI 피드백의 부담을 경감시키기 위하여 small scale fading을 제외하고, 느리게 변하는 경로손실과, 섀도잉에 의한 large scale fading값만을 피드백하는 분산 안테나 시스템을 제안하고 Bit Error Rate (BER)을 최소화하기 위한 최적 전력 분배 공식을 유도했다. 빠른 페이딩 환경에서, 제안된 최적 전력 분배 기법이 small scale fading까지 고려한 전력 분배 기법보다 월등히 좋은 성능을 보이며, 피드백 지연이 없는 환경에서도 1dB 이내의 성능을 보이는 것을 확인했다. 또한, 본 논문에서 Rayleigh fading channel을 가정하여 유도한 전력 분배 기법이 Line-of-Sight (LOS) 성분의 크기가 작은 Ricean fading channel에서도 최소의 BER과 거의 비슷한 값을 달성함을 보였다.

This paper presents the characteristics of large-scale fading in a tunnel environment. The Ray-Launching Method has been used to analyze the characteristics of the tunnel. For a curved tunnel, The concept of RDN (Ray Density Normalization) is introduced in order to obtain more accurate results. For our purposes, the structure of tunnel is assumed to be either a straight or curved tunnel having rectangular cross-section. A large scale fading has been presented shown in several tunnel cases.

In this paper, we investigate a dynamic spectrum sharing problem for the centralized uplink cognitive radio networks using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We formulate a large-scale joint rate and power allocation as an optimization problem under quality of service constraint for secondary users and interference constraint for primary users. We also suggest admission control to nd a feasible solution to the optimization problem. To implement the resource allocation on a large-scale, we introduce a notion of using the conservative factors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ depending on the outage and violation probabilities. Since estimating instantaneous channel gains is costly and requires high complexity, the proposed algorithm pursues a practical and implementation-friendly resource allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that the large-scale joint rate and power allocation incurs a slight loss in system throughput over the instantaneous one, but it achieves lower complexity with less sensitivity to variations in shadowing statistics.

본 논문에서는 셀프리 다중안테나 환경에서 네트워크 전체 사용자의 성능을 보장하기 위한 사용자 중심의 클러스터링 기법을 고려한다. 사용자 중심 클러스터링 기법에서 각 사용자는 자신과 연결된 AP(Access Point)들 사이의 대규모 페이딩(large-scale fading) 채널 정보를 이용해 페이딩 계수가 가장 큰 AP와 페이딩 계수의 상대적 크기가 임계값 이상의 값을 갖는 AP들로 클러스터를 구성한다. 사용자 중심으로 구성된 클러스터를 바탕으로 AP들은 분산적인 기법으로 빔형성과 전력할당을 설계하고 이를 이용해 사용자들의 데이터를 협력 전송한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 효율 관점에서 사용자 중심 클러스터링의 성능을 검증하고 주어진 환경에서 최적의 성능을 나타내는 임계값을 찾는다.

In the uplink transmission of massive (or large-scale) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, large dimensional signal detection and its hardware design are challenging issues owing to the high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose low-complexity hardware architectures of Richardson iterative method-based massive MIMO detectors. We present two types of massive MIMO detectors, directly mapped (type1) and reformulated (type2) Richardson iterative methods. In the proposed Richardson method (type2), the matrix-by-matrix multiplications are reformulated to matrix-vector multiplications, thus reducing the computational complexity from $O(U^2)$ to O(U). Both massive MIMO detectors are implemented using a 65 nm CMOS process and compared in terms of detection performance under different channel conditions (high-mobility and flat fading channels). The hardware implementation results confirm that the proposed type1 Richardson method-based detector demonstrates up to 50% power savings over the proposed type2 detector under a flat fading channel. The type2 detector indicates a 37% power savings compared to the type1 under a high-mobility channel.

Although the massive MIMO system supports a high throughput, it requires a lot of channel information for channel compensation. For the reduction of overhead, the massive MIMO system generally uses TDD as duplexing scheme. Therefore, the massive MIMO system is sensitive to rapidly changing fast fading in according to time. For the improvement of reduced SINR by fast fading, the adaptive power control is proposed. Unlike the conventional scheme, the proposed scheme considers mobility of device for adaptive power control. The simulation of the proposed scheme is performed with consideration for mobility of device. The result of the simulation shows that the proposed scheme improves SINR. Since SINR is decreased in according to the number of device in the network by unit of cell, each base station can accommodate more devices by the proposed scheme. Also, because the massive MIMO system with high SINR can use high order modulation scheme, it can support higher throughput.

In this paper, stochastic models for the cross-correlation of multiple channels are established based on measurement data collected using a wideband multiple-input multiple-output relay Band Exploration and Channel Sounder system at 3.7 GHz. We propose models for the cross-correlation characteristics of large-scale parameters (LSPs) between two links, that is, the base station and mobile station (MS) link and the relay station and MS link. The LSPs include shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angle spread of arrival, and angle spread of departure. Furthermore, models are established for the cross-correlation of the small-scale fading in the impulse responses of two links. The statistics of these model parameters are investigated as functions of geometrical features of the multilink. They are extracted from a large amount of cross-correlation observations, which are obtained in three measurement sites along more than one hundred measurement routes. These models can be used together with the standard single-link channel models for the generation of correlated components, for example, path clusters, in two separate channels.

Three-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D MIMO) and large-scale MIMO are two promising technologies for upcoming high data rate wireless communications, since the inter-user interference can be reduced by exploiting antenna vertical gain and degree of freedom, respectively. In this paper, we derive the achievable sum rate of 3D MIMO systems employing zero-forcing (ZF) receivers, accounting for log-normal shadowing fading, path-loss and antenna gain. In particular, we consider the prevalent log-normal model and propose a novel closed-form lower bound on the achievable sum rate exploiting elevation features. Using the lower bound as a starting point, we pursue the "large-system" analysis and derive a closed-form expression when the number of antennas grows large for fixed average transmit power and fixed total transmit power schemes. We further model a high-building with several floors. Due to the floor height, different floors correspond to different elevation angles. Therefore, the asymptotic achievable sum rate performances for each floor and the whole building considering the elevation features are analyzed and the effects of tilt angle and user distribution for both horizontal and vertical dimensions are discussed. Finally, the relationship between the achievable sum rate and the number of users is investigated and the optimal number of users to maximize the sum rate performance is determined.

In time division duplex (TDD)-based multiuser massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, the uplink channel is estimated and the results are used in downlink for signal detection. Owing to noisy uplink channel estimation, the downlink channel should also be estimated for accurate signal detection. Therefore, recently, a blind method was developed, which assumes the use of a linear high-power amplifier (HPA) in the base station (BS). In this study, we extend this method to a scenario with a nonlinear HPA in the BS, where the Bussgang decomposition is used for HPA modeling. In the proposed method, the average power of the received signal for each user is a function of channel gain, large-scale fading, and nonlinear distortion variance. Therefore, the channel gain is estimated, which is required for signal detection. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed theoretically. The simulation results show superior performance of the proposed method compared to that of the other methods in the literature.

최근, 현대전은 GPS 위치측위를 바탕으로 정밀타격체계 및 미사일 방어체계가 핵심이 되어가고 있다. 하지만 군 환경 특성상 산악지형 및 시가전에서의 지형지물로 인한 large/small scale fading, 주파수 간섭 등으로 인해 오차를 가진 위치정보를 얻게 된다. 이는 아군 위치 파악 실패로 인한 지원 지연 및 유도탄 오폭으로 인명피해를 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구는 위치오차를 보정하기 위해 wavelet denoising filter를 이용한 간섭완화 측위기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 본 연구실에서 수행한 GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi밀결합 측위 기법의 실증 테스트 결과와 wavelet denoising filter를 적용한 시스템의 시뮬레이션 결과로 간섭완화 성능을 나타낸다. Wavelet denoising filter를 적용한 시스템의 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존 GPS보다 평균 21.6% 의 정확도 향상을 보이며 제안한 시스템 모델의 우수성을 입증한다.
