A multipath mitigation method using the fault detection and isolation technique is proposed for the CDGPS. The base station is assumed to be immune to the effect of the multipath. With this reasonable assumption, the effect of multipath in moving station is mitigated. For that, the double difference measurement is produced, and then another additional difference between code pseudorange and acclumulated carrier phase is calculated. The test statistic is constituted with those differences. The hypothesis testing is applied to that test statistic. The proposed test statistic makes use of the effect of multipath in code pseudoranges and it does not use time differences. Therefore the detection ability for multipath is improved in most environments. However, the increased number of differences makes the measurement noises larger. The performance of the method is compared with that of the conventional parity space method with code pseudorange.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes receive signal to make error floor. In this paper, we propose the underwater communication system using various channel coding schemes such as RS coding, convolutional code, turbo code and concatenated code for overcoming the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error. So interleaver has not effect on error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath, it is necessary to use strong channel codes like turbo code. Turbo code is one of the iterative codes. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS code has better performance than using singular channel codes.

The performance of mobile radio communication system is dependent on various factors such as channel environment. Especially, the number of multipath components of mobile radio channel and multipath delay property in CDMA system for different bandwidths are changed. Therefore, using multipath components, Rake receiver provides improvement of performance of W-CDMA system is evaluated by computer simulation over the types of ITU-R wideband channel model and spreading rate. The result shows that the performance of CDMA adapting RAKE receiver is Improved by the increase of multipath components in equal level of the received power.

In through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), the presence of front and side walls causes multipath propagation, which creates fake targets called multipath ghosts. They populate the scene and reduce the probability of correct target detection, classification, and localization. In modern TWRI, specular multipath exploitation has received considerable attention for reducing the effects of multipath ghosts. However, this exploitation is challenged by the requirements of the reflecting geometry, which is not always available. Currently, the demand for a high radar image resolution dictates the use of a large aperture and wide bandwidth. This results in a large amount of data. To tackle this problem, compressive sensing (CS) is applied to TWRI. With CS, only a fraction of the data are used to produce a high-quality image, provided that the scene is sparse. However, owing to multipath ghosts, the scene sparsity is highly deteriorated; hence, the performance of the CS algorithms is compromised. This paper presents and discusses the adverse effects of multipath ghosts in TWRI. It describes the physical formation of ghosts, their challenges, and existing suppression techniques.

본 논문은 애드 혹 네트워크에서 다중 경로 설정을 위한 탐색 기법을 제안한다. 데이터 경로 설정은 요구기반 방식으로 동작하며, 소스와 목적지 노드 간의 다중 경로는 초기 경로 설정 과정에서 함께 구해진다. 이러한 다중 경로는 데이터 경로의 백업이나 부하 분산에 사용될 수 있다. 제안 방식에서는 소스와 목적지 노드 간 다중 경로를 찾기 위해, 사전 질의 방법을 사용한다. 이 방안은 중간 노드에서 응답 메시지를 처리할 때, 주변 노드와의 정보 교환을 통해 최적의 다음노드를 선택하는 방안이다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해, 제안된 다중 경로 체계가 경로간의 만나는 횟수를 감소시켜 다중경로의 더 좋은 분리도를 주고, 노드들이 이동하는 환경에서 더 높은 경로 생존 확률을 달성함을 알 수 있었다.

While the chirp signal is extensively used in radar and sonar systems for target decision in wireless communication systems, it has not been widely used for positioning in indoor environments. Recently, the IEEE 802.15.4a standard has adopted the chirp spread spectrum (CSS) as an underlying technique for low-power and low-complexity precise localization. Chirp signal based ranging solutions have been established and deployed but their ranging performance has not been analyzed in multipath environments. This paper presents a ranging performance analysis of a chirp signal and suggests a method to suppress multipath error by using a type of non-linear chirp signal. Multipath ranging performance is evaluated using a conventional linear chirp signal and the proposed non-linear chirp signal. We verify the feasibility of both methods using two-ray multipath model simulation. Our results demonstrate that the proposed non-linear chirp signal can successfully suppress the multipath error.

기존의 다중경로 설정 방법은 소스로부터 목적지까지 명확하게 분리된 다중경로를 보장하지 못할 뿐만 아니라, 다중경로의 라우팅 정보를 설정하고 유지하기 위한 오버헤드가 많다. 본 논문에서는 다중경로를 설정하는 과정에서 플러딩 방식을 제거하고, 트래픽 부하를 분산시키며, 경로 갱신에 참여하는 노드의 수를 최소화함으로써, 에너지 효율적인 EDM(Explicit Disjoint Multipath) 방식을 제안한다. EDM은 논리적으로 다중경로가 구성될 수 있는 논리적인 파이프라인을 구성하고, 물리적으로 파이프라인을 통해 목적지까지 경유지 기반 지오그래픽 라우팅을 수행한다. EDM은 네트워크 트래픽 부하를 분산시키고, 에너지 소모를 균등화할 수 있으며, 네트워크 생명주기를 연장시킬 수 있다.

This paper presents a method to suppress multipath induced by pulses using supervised learning. In modern electronics, pulses have been used for various purposes such as communication or distance measurements. Like other signals, pulses also suffer from multipath. When a pulse and a multipath are overlapped, the original pulse shape is distorted. The distorted pulse could result in communication failures or distance measurement errors. However, a large number of samples available from a pulse can be used to effectively reject multipath by using a supervised learning method. This paper introduces how a supervised learning method can be applied to Distance Measuring Equipment. Simulation results show that multipath induced distance measuring error can be suppressed by 10 ~ 45 percent depending on the allowed pulse shape variation allowed in a standard.

In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes have a short transmission range and data is transferred from source to destination node using the multi-hop transmission. Sensor nodes are powered by battery and the link qualities are different, and the routing protocol in the wireless sensor network is one of the important technical issues. Multipath routing was proposed to reduce the data congestion and increase data throughput. In the multipath routing, however, each path can be interfered by the other path, and it can aggravate network performance. In this paper, we propose the multipath routing scheme for multi-rate wireless sensor networks. The multipath routing selects transmission paths to minimize transmission delay and path interference.
