OFDM is one of the promising modulation candidates for a fourth generation broadband mobile communication system because of its robustness against inter-symbol inteference(ISI). The OFDM transmission technique has the inherent flexibility to adapt the modulation scheme on each subcarrier according to the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). In this paper, the adaptive modulation scheme of OFDM system is proposed in broadband mobile channel. The proposed algorithm allocates initially the number of bits in each subcarrier using the threshold SNR according to the target BER and controls the total number of target bits using the well-known algorithm of Chow et al. In addition, the subcarriers of the proposed algorithm are clustered in blocks, that the signalling overhead can be reduced for the bit allocation of subcarriers. For the simulated experiments, this paper presents an evaluation for the effects of target BER, the various numbers of subcarriers in the subband block, and Doppler frequency on the performance of adaptive OFDM in broadband mobile channel.

Currently economical communication technologies are needed for high speed data exchange at sea. Wireless environments at sea require some special communication security solutions as well. In this paper, an augmented WiMAX MMR protocol is proposed as a solution of the broadband data communications and security at sea environments fundamentally with no base station.

Mobile broadband wireless network is emerging as one of the hottest research areas due to technical advances, and the demands of users who wish to enjoy the same network experience on the move. In this paper, we investigate the handover process at the medium access control (MAC) layer in an IEEE 802.16e-based system. In particular, we identify problems concerned with the scan initiation Process called cell reselection and propose a received signal strength (RSS) estimation scheme to dynamically trigger a scanning process. We show how the RSS estimation scheme can timely initiate a scanning process by anticipating RSS values considering scan duration required.

A key issue toward mobile multimedia communications is to create technologies for broadband signal transmission that can support high quality services. Such a broadband mobile communications system should be able to overcome severe distortion caused by timevarying multi-path fading channel, while providing high spectral efficiency and low power consumption. For these reasons, an adaptive suboptimum decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for the single-carrier shortburst transmissions system is considered as one of the feasible solutions. For the performance improvement of the system with the short-burst format including the short training sequence, in this paper, the multiple-training least mean square (MTLMS) based DFE scheme with soft decision feedback is proposed and its performance is investigated in mobile wireless channels throughout computer simulation.

In this paper, we proposed the broadband polarization diversity antenna operating in the PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band for mobile base station. We designed the antenna using the dipole antenna of the square loop type and microstrip feeding structure. Additionally, we used the choke box to remove the distortion of radiation patterns by the reflector structure when operating broadband. The simulation was performed using MWS in a commercial tool of CST company and the antenna was fabricated on a teflon substrate with 3.33 of the relative permittivity. The proposed antenna has the bandwidth of 640 MHz(from 1.75 to 2.39 GHz) when VSWR is below 1.5. At the operating bands, the interisolation between the cross-pair radiators is less than -25 dB and the maximum gains for PCS, WCDMA and WiBro band are 8.9, 8.2 and 8.6 dBi, respectively.

Our research brings managerial insights for developing new digital convergence of devices and services. To explain the phenomenon of device and service convergence, we combine two different approaches from separate research fields: a perceptual mapping technique generally used for segmentation in marketing and associative network analysis mobilized to understanding network structure of core and peripheral as well as the information mediating role of nodes in network science. By combining these two approaches, we provide an in-depth analysis of the associations among devices and services by assessing the centrality of device and service nodes in an associative network. This is done by examining the connections between these services and devices as well as investigating the role of mediation in the combined device-service associative network. Our results based on bi-partite network analysis of survey responses from 250 Internet Protocol (IP) television viewers show which device and which service will play the major role in future device and service convergence as well as which characteristics and functionalities have to be incorporated into future convergence. Among the devices, the mobile handset with the betweenness centrality of 0.26 appears to be the device that would lead future device convergence. Among the services, wireless broadband with the betweenness centrality of 0.276 appears to be the service on which future service convergence needs to be developed. This result is quite unexpected, since wireless broadband has a lower penetration rate than other services, such as fixed broadband and cable TV. In addition, we indicate the possibility of converging devices, such as personal digital assistant (PDA) and mobile handset, and services, such as IPTV and mobile Internet, into wireless broadband services in the future.

Due to the explosive popularization of the Internet, it has been researched for many mobile terminals how to receive various multimedia information. Especially, it has been considered that a mobile terminal is serviced with multimedia information through a inherent IP address. In this paper we have proposed the Handover Signaling Method and analyzed the Handover delay time of this proposed method in wireless section. This proposed method is appropriate to Broadband systems with Mobile IP. We have simulated Handover delay time with respect to the distance between a terminal and base stations

Although $High-T_c $superconducting HTS antennas have high efficiency and high gain, narrow bandwidth due to the high Q is the major limitation for application of satellite communication and mobile communication. Defining bandwidth as the frequency range over which standing wave ratio (SWR) is 2:1 or less, HTS antenna bandwidths are typically less than 1 %. Thus considerable effort has been focused on developing HTS antennas for broadband operation. In this work the HTS antenna array, using the bipin antenna which consisted of two triangle-radiation patches, was designed and fabricated using a ${YBa}_2{Cu}_3{O}_7x (YBCO)$ superconducting thin film on a MgO substrate for broadband operation. Also gold antennas with the same dimension as our HTS antennas were fabricated on the MgO substrate for the comparison. Experimental results for both antennas were reported in terms of radiation patterns, return losses, bandwidths and other various characteristics. The center frequency of HTS antennas was 20.28 GHz and the bandwidth obtained was significant 10 %.
