This paper compares and analyzes advantages and disadvantages of CDMA(code division multiple access) and OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) transmission techniques for underwater acoustic channel environments. Computer simulations were carried out in various underwater acoustic channels with varying r.m.s.(root mean square) delay, doppler frequency and the number of multipaths. When r.m.s. delay and doppler frequency are within the tolerance of designed transmission schemes, the computer simulations show that CDMA has better BER performance than that of the OFDM. However, when the doppler frequency exceeds the tolerance, BER performance of the CDMA decreases.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of multilink Bluetooth service and design the multilink application between various Bluetooth devices. There are many restrictions for the Bluetooth based multilink services. Especially, these restrictions occur due to SCO and ACL which construct logical links. In forming ake a scatternet, only one SCO link can be utilized. Also, the number of ACL link depends on the number of RFCOMM channels. High quality audio data streaming cannot be supported by using SCO link. In that case, ACL link should be used for the audio streaming and the data rate of other data links decreases. We implemented the multilink services to verify the considerations for the multilink service.

Random beanforming exploits multiuser diversity gain in static channels. Since the gain is restricted by the user population, some extended works have been proposed. Among them, a codebook-based opportunistic beamforming technique forms multiple random beams with small pilots. The technique however has difficulty in designing beams flexibly by the channel statistics. In this paper, we propose a technique forming the multiple random beams by rotating codebooks. The proposed technique enables the flexible design of beams so that multiuser diversity and beam selection diversity are exploited simultaneously with small pilots robust to the channel statistics.

In this paper the problem of massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel estimation with sparsity aware adaptive algorithms for $5^{th}$ generation mobile systems is investigated. These channels are shown to be non-stationary along with being sparse. Non-stationarity is a feature that implies channel taps change with time. Up until now most of the adaptive algorithms that have been presented for channel estimation, have only considered sparsity and very few of them have been tested in non-stationary conditions. Therefore we investigate the performance of several newly proposed sparsity aware algorithms in these conditions and finally propose an enhanced version of RZA-LMS/F algorithm with variable threshold namely VT-RZA-LMS/F. The results show that this algorithm has better performance than all other algorithms for the next generation channel estimation problems, especially when the non-stationarity gets high. Overall, in this paper for the first time, we estimate a non-stationary Rayleigh fading channel with sparsity aware algorithms and show that by increasing non-stationarity, the estimation performance declines.

A data allocation technique is essential to improve the performance of data broadcast systems. This paper explores the issues for allocating data items on broadcast channels in the environment where multiple-data queries are submitted, and proposes a new data allocation scheme named DAMA. The proposed scheme employs the strategy that the broadcast frequency of each data is determined by the moving average of its access probability. DAMA could enhance the performance of query response time since it is capable of controlling the influence of access probability properly according to the query size. Simulation is performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the performance of DAMA is superior to other schemes in terms of the average response time.

A medium access control protocol is proposed for integrated voice and data services in the packet CDMA network with a small coverage. Uplink channels are composed of time slots and multiple spreading codes for each slot. This protocol gives higher access priority to the delay-sensitive voice traffic than to the data traffic. During a talkspurt, voice terminals reserve a spreading code to transmit multiple voice packets. On the other hand, whenever generating a data packet, data terminals transmit a packet based on the status Information of spreading codes in the current slot, which is received from base station. In this protocol, voice packet does not come into collision with data packet. Therefore, this protocol can increase the maximum number of voice terminals.

In this paper, the issue of blind detection of Alamouti-type differential space-time (ST) ${\pi}/2$-shifted BPSK modulation in static Rayleigh fading channels is considered. We introduce a novel transformation to the received signal from each receiver antenna such that this binary ST modulation, which has a second-order transmit-diversity, is equivalent to QPSK modulation with second-order receive-diversity. The pre-detection combining of the result of transformation allows us to apply a low complexity detection technique specifically designed for receive-diversity, namely, scalar multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD). With receiver complexity proportional to the observation window length, our receiver can achieve the performance 1.5dB better than that of conventional differential detection ST and 0.5dB worse than that qf a coherent maximum ratio combining receiver (with differential decoding) approximately.

The rapid advancements of information technology and popularization of smart phones make people obtain the desired information through a variety of channels. In particular, consumers become to use a smart phone in their shopping in order to spend their money rationally. However, they have experienced inconvenience at being shopping by a smart phone because shopping information - reward(stamp), coupon, discount information, and so on - is distributed over multiple applications. To solve this problem, we propose the mobile stamper system that consumers can make good use of the reward(stamp) which is provided by various stores. The proposed system can improve the convenience of consumers by managing and integrating all stamps of multiple stores into our application.

We consider the use of error control coding in direct sequence-code-division multiple access (OS-COMA) systems that employ multiuser detection (MUO) and space diversity. The relative performance gain between Reed-Solomon (RS) code and convolutional code (CC) is well known in [1] for the single user, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In this case, RS codes outperform CC's at high signal-to-noise ratios. We find that this is not the case for the multiuser interference channel mentioned above. For useful error rates, we find that soft-decision CC's to be uniformly better than RS codes when used with DS-COMA modulation in multiuser space-time channels. In our development, we use the Gaussian approximation on the interference to determine performance error bounds for systems with low number of users. Then, we check their accuracy in error rate estimation via system's simulation. These performance bounds will in turn allow us to consider a large number of users where we can estimate the gain in user-capacity due to channel coding. Lastly, the use of turbo codes is considered where it is shown that they offer a coding gain of 2.5 dB relative to soft-decision CC.

We demonstrate rotationally invariant space-time (ST) trellis codes with a 4-D rectangular signal constellation for data transmission over fading channels using two transmit antennas. The rotational invariance is a good property to have that may alleviate the task of the carrier phase tracking circuit in the receiver. The transmitted data stream is segmented into eight bit blocks and quadrature amplitude modulated using a 256 point 4-D signal constellation whose 2-D constituent constellation is a 16 point square constellation doubly partitioned. The 4-D signal constellation is simply the Cartesian product of the 2-D signal constellation with it-self and has 32 subsets. The partition is performed on one side into four subsets A, B, C, and D with increased minimum-squared Euclidian distance, and on the other side into four rings, where each ring includes four points of equal energy. We propose both linear and nonlinear ST trellis codes and perform simulations using an appropriate multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model. The 4-D ST codes constructed here demonstrate about the same frame error rate (FER) performance as their 2-D counterparts, having however the added value of rotational invariance.
