An allocation of sensing and reporting times is proposed to improve the sensing performance by scheduling them in an efficient way for cognitive radio networks with cluster-based cooperative spectrum sensing. In the conventional cooperative sensing scheme, all secondary users (SUs) detect the primary user (PU) signal to check the availability of the spectrum during a fixed sensing time slot. The sensing results from the SUs are reported to cluster heads (CHs) during the reporting time slots of the SUs and the CHs forward them to a fusion center (FC) during the reporting time slots of the CHs through the common control channels for the global decision, respectively. However, the delivery of the local decision from SUs and CHs to a CH and FC requires a time which does not contribute to the performance of spectrum sensing and system throughput. In this paper, a super-allocation technique, which merges reporting time slots of SUs and CHs to sensing time slots of SUs by re-scheduling the reporting time slots, has been proposed to sense the spectrum more accurately. In this regard, SUs in each cluster can obtain a longer sensing duration depending on their reporting order and their clusters except for the first SU belonged to the first cluster. The proposed scheme, therefore, can achieve better sensing performance under -28 dB to -10 dB environments and will thus reduce reporting overhead.

The error rate equation of DS-CDMA/DQPSK skgnal adopting ARQ scheme has been derived in indoor radio channel which is characterized by AWGN, multi-user interference (MUI) and Rician fading, Using the derived equation the error performance has been evaluated and shown in figures as a function of direct to diffuse signal power ratio(KS1rT), the number of active users (K), PN code sequence length (N), the number of parity bit of linear code (b), forward channel BER, and ES1bT/NS1OT. From the results it is known that in severe fading environments (KS1rT=6) the performance of DS-CDMA/DQPSK system is not reliable so it is needed to adopt techniques for improvement. When an ARQ scheme is adopted, as a method for improving error performance, the performance improves compared with that of non-ARQ scheme and the degree of improvement is proportional to the number of parity bits of linear code. As increasing the number of parity bits, system performance is improved vut system throughput efficiency must be considered. In severe fading channel Hybrid ARQ scheme is more effective than ARQ scheme. As a result, ARQ scheme is appropriate for the high-reliability data communication systems over the radio channel in which the real time processing is not required.

This work presents a concept and the related analysis of the traffic performance for a wireless broadband system based on fixed relay stations acting as wireless bridges. The analysis focuses on the important performance indicators end-to-end throughput and delay, taking into account the effects of an automated repeat request protocol. An extension to a MAC frame based access protocol like IEEE 802.11e, 802.15.3, 802.16a, and HIPERLAN2 is outlined and taken as basis for the calculations. The system is intended for both dense populated areas as an overlay to cellular radio systems and to provide wide-area broad-band coverage. The two possible deployment scenarios for both dense urban and wide-area environments are introduced. Analytical and validating simulation results are shown, proving the suitability of the proposed concept for both of the mentioned scenarios. It is established that the fixed relaying concept is well suited to substantially contribute to provide high capacity cellular broad-band radio coverage in next generation (NG) cellular wireless broadband systems.

본 논문에서는 3차원 광선추적 기법을 이용한 실내 환경에서의 전파특성 분석을 위한 3D 시뮬레이터를 이용한 분석 결과를 제시하였다. 지금까지 소개된 대부분의 전파특성 분석 결과들은 2차원 평면에서 거리에 따른 신호의 손실(Path Loss) 위주로 연구가 진행 되었다. 본 연구에서는 실내에서 전파특성을 분석하기 위해 다양한 ITU 모델을 사용하여 입체구조의 실내 환경에서 전파의 수신신호의 세기에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 시뮬레이터를 이용해 150MHz와 2GHz대역의 손실 특성이 비교 되었고 예상한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 각 수신기의 위치에서 수신 신호는 전파경로상의 벽면에서 손실되는 전력에 따라 차이가 생기기 때문에 송신기의 출력이 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다.

This paper presents a general-purpose design scheme of a filter bank (FB)-based radio frequency (RF) transceiver that operates across the entire ultra-high frequency (UHF) TV band from 470 MHz to 698 MHz and complies with the TV white space (TVWS) regulatory requirements. To this end, an intermediate frequency (IF) band-pass filter (BPF) with a sharp skirt characteristic is considered as a solution for handling the incoming signals from a baseband modem. Specifically, an FB-based BPF structure with four ceramic resonator filters that effectively rejects unwanted signals is proposed to extract a desired signal in the TV band. Achievable data rates of a cognitive radio system (CRS) employing the proposed FB-based RF transceiver at the application layer are investigated in both wired and wireless environments. The service coverage of the CRS network is measured according to several modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) of the CRS. The results show that the coverage of a wireless network in a nearly open area can be extended by more than 9.3 km in the TVWS. Experimental results also confirm that the proposed FB-based RF transceiver is adequate for utilization in TVWS applications.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide high-speed backbone networks without any wired cable. Many researchers have tried to increase network throughput by using multi-channel and multi-radio interfaces. A multi-radio multi-channel WMN requires channel assignment algorithm to decide the number of channels needed for each link. Since the channel assignment affects routing and interference directly, it is a critical component for enhancing network performance. However, the optimal channel assignment is known as a NP complete problem. For high performance, most of previous works assign channels in a centralized manner but they are limited in being applied for dynamic network environments. In this paper, we propose a simple flow estimation algorithm and a hybrid channel assignment algorithm. Our flow estimation algorithm obtains aggregated flow rate information between routers by packet sampling, thereby achieving high scalability. Our hybrid channel assignment algorithm initially assigns channels in a centralized manner first, and runs in a distributed manner to adjust channel assignment when notable traffic changes are detected. This approach provides high scalability and high performance compared with existing algorithms, and they are confirmed through extensive performance evaluations.

As wireless communication continues to develop in limited frequency resource environments, it is becoming important to identify the state of spectrum utilization and predict the amount needed in future. It is essential to collect reliable information for data analysis. This paper introduces a platform that enables the gathering of the scheduling information of a long-term evolution (LTE) cellular system without connecting to the network. A typical LTE terminal can confirm its assigned resource information using the configuration parameters delivered from a network. However, our platform receives and captures only the LTE signal over the air and then enables the estimation of the data relevant to scheduling for all terminals within an LTE cell. After extracting the control channel signal without loss from all LTE subframes, it detects valid downlink control information using the proposed algorithm, which is based on the error vector magnitude of depatterned symbols. We verify the reliability of the developed platform by comparing it with real data from mobile phones and service operators. The average difference in resource block utilization is only 0.28%.
