Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is gaining increasing interest for its potential application to short-range indoor wireless communications. Utilizing ultra-short pulses, UWB baseband transmissions enable rich multipath diversity, and can be demodulated with low complexity receivers. Compliance with the FCC spectral mask, and interference avoidance to, and from, co-existing narrow-band services, calls for judicious design of UWB pulse shapers. This paper introduces pulse shaper designs for UWB radios, which optimally utilize the bandwidth and power allowed by the FCC spectral mask. The resulting baseband UWB systems can be either single-band, or, multi-band. More important, the novel pulse shapers can support dynamic avoidance of narrow-band interference, as well as efficient implementation of fast frequency hopping, without invoking analog carriers.

To deal with the major challenges of embedded sensor networks, we consider the use of magnetic fields as a means of reliably transferring both information and power to embedded sensors. We focus on a power allocation strategy for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system to maximize the transferred power under the required information capacity and total available power constraints. First, we consider the case of a co-receiver, where information and power can be extracted from the same signal. In this case, we find an optimal power allocation (OPA) and provide the upper bound of achievable transferred power and capacity pairs. However, the exact calculation of the OPA is computationally complex. Thus, we propose a low-complexity power reallocation algorithm. For practical consideration, we consider the case of a separated receiver (where information and power are transferred separately through different resources) and propose two heuristic power allocation algorithms. Through simulations using the Agilent Advanced Design System and Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator, we validate the magnetic-inductive channel characteristic. In addition, we show the performances of the proposed algorithms by providing achievable ${\eta}$-C regions.

본 논문에서는 DAB 시스템에서 사용하는 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 블록을 하드웨어 크기를 고려하여 효율적인 구조를 갖도록 설계하였다. DAB 시스템의 FEC 블록은 크게 스크램블러(에너지분산), 리드-솔로몬 코더, 길쌈 인터리버로 구성된다. RS 디코더 블록 중 키 방정식을 계산해 내는 블록과 길쌈 인터리버가 차지하는 하드웨어 비중은 굉장히 크다. 본 논문에서는 스크램블러 부분에서 데이터의 시작을 알려주는 신호의 효율적인 검출기법을 제안하고, 리드-솔로몬 디코더 블록의 수정 유클리드 알고리즘을 효율적인 하드웨어로 구현하기 위한 새로운 구조와 길쌈 인터리버에서 최적의 메모리 구조를 효과적인 구조를 제안한다. 제안한 구조에서는 단지 8개의 GF 곱셈기와 4개의 덧셈기만을 가지고 RS 디코더의 수정 유클리드 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 2 RAM(128)과 4 RAM(256)을 가지고 컨벌루셔널 인터리버를 구현하였다. 제안한 구조로 설계했을 경우 디코더 블록이 Altera-FPGA 칩(FLEX10K)에 모두 들어갈 수 있었다.

MPEG-2 Advanced Audio Coding(AAC) is widely used in the multi-channel audio compression standards. And it combines hi인-resolution filter bank prediction techniques, and Huffman coding algorithm to achieve the broadcast-quality audio level at very low data rates. The forward and inverse modified discrete transforms which are operated in the encoder and the decoder of the filter bank need many computations. In this paper, we propose suitable recursive structure at IMDCT processing for MPEG-2 AAC real-time decoder. We confirm the memory, the computation speed and complexity of the proposed structure.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiplexing is an attractive technology that increases the channel capacity without requiring additional spectral resources. The design of low complexity and high performance detection algorithms capable of accurately demultiplexing the transmitted signals is challenging. In this technical survey, we introduce the state-of-the-art MIMO detection techniques. These techniques are divided into three categories, viz. linear detection (LD), decision-feedback detection (DFD), and tree-search detection (TSD). Also, we introduce the lattice basis reduction techniques that obtain a more orthogonal channel matrix over which the detection is done. Detailed discussions on the advantages and drawbacks of each detection algorithm are also introduced. Furthermore, several recent author contributions related to MIMO detection are revisited throughout this survey.

In this paper, we present a bitwise metric generating function for a binary reflected Gray coded (BRGC) M-PSK signal by means of coordinate rotation. Using the properties of the BRGC mapping, we minimize the number of coordinate rotations. The proposed function does not rely on channel state information (CSI), and provides low implementing complexity.

Current group key agreement protocols, which are often tree-based, have unnecessary delays that are caused when members with low-performance computer systems join a group key computation process. These delays are caused by the computations necessary to balance a key tree after membership changes. An alternate approach to group key generation that reduces delays is the dynamic prioritizing mechanism of queue-based group key generation. We propose an efficient group key agreement protocol and present the results of performance evaluation tests of this protocol. The queue-based approach that we propose is scalable and requires less computational overhead than conventional tree-based protocols.

A study on the development of control loading system for a pilot command in the helicopter flight training device is performed. The key issue of the device is how to provide closely the real feeling of the stick forces to the trainer during the flight training. Focusing on this proviso and considering the suitable approach than the complexity of the hydraulic system, we adopt the AC servo motor system although its inherent disadvantages such as the torque ripple and the stick-slip friction effect at a low control force. However, we overcome these detrimental effects by introducing the appropriate control device and the robust structural design of the actuating system, thereby the feasibility and applicability to the system can be obtained by showing good performance, meeting the required specification.

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are recently emerged due to its excellent performance to use. However, the parity check matrices (H) of the previous works are not adequate for hardware implementation of encoders or decoders. This paper proposes a hybrid parity check matrix for partially parallel decoder structures, which is efficient in hardware implementation of both decoders and encoders. Using proposed methods, the encoding design can become practical while keeping the hardware complexity of partially parallel decoder structures.
