In this paper, the Transport Protocol Experts Group(TPEG) transmission and reception system based on Digital Radio Mondiale(DRM) is implemented for traffic information services. DRM stands for the European radio broadcasting standard to bring AM radio into digital radio, designed to work at frequencies below 30MHz. DRM can offer various data services such as text messages and a slide show service as well as audio services. In spite of low datarate, the TPEG system on DRM has an advantage that the traffic information service system for whole country can be established because DRM can offer wider service ranges than terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) and simply archive a single frequency network.

An SDR (Software Defined Radio) system based on general purpose computing platform has benefits of ease of software development process, high degree of software compatibility, and cost-effectiveness of general purpose processors. This paper discusses design and implementation of a dual-mode SDR system that supports both cordless phone and walkie-talky system running on Linux-based general purpose computing platform. For this purpose, we designed modulation and demodulation software on open source-based GNU radio middleware. We also designed a customized RF front-end hardware which performs frequency conversion between RF and IF. The proposed SDR system successfully exhibited its ability to operate both cordless phone and walkie-talky communication on Intel processor-based general purpose computing platform. But experience with the prototype SDR system shows that further research is required for run-time software reconfiguration and efficient integration with conventional TCP/IP protocol stacks.

Particularly in wireless communications, link errors severely affect the quality of the services due to the high error probability and the specific error characteristics (burst errors) in the radio access part of the network. In this work, we show that thorough analysis and appropriate modeling of radio-link error behavior are essential to evaluate and optimize higher layer protocols and services. They are also the basis for finding network-aware cross-layer processing algorithms which are capable of exploiting the specific properties of the link error statistics, such as predictability. This document presents the analysis of the radio link errors based on measurements in live Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) radio access networks as well as new link error models originating from that analysis. It is shown that the knowledge of the specific link error characteristics leads to significant improvements in the quality of streamed video by applying the proposed novel network- and content-aware cross-layer scheduling algorithms. Although based on live UMTS network experience, many of the conclusions in this work are of general validity and are not limited to UMTS only.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered an attractive technology to deal with the spectrum scarcity problem. Multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) can improve network capacity because data are transmitted by multiple RANs (radio access networks) concurrently. Thus, multi-RAT embedded in a cognitive radio network (CRN) is a promising paradigm for developing spectrum efficiency and network capacity in future wireless networks. In this study, we consider a new CRN model in which the primary user networks consist of heterogeneous primary users (PUs). Specifically, we focus on the energy-efficient resource allocation (EERA) problem for CR users with a special location coverage overlapping region in which heterogeneous PUs operate simultaneously via multi-RAT. We propose a two-tier crossover genetic algorithm-based search scheme to obtain an optimal solution in terms of the power and bandwidth. In addition, we introduce a radio environment map to manage the resource allocation and network synchronization. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm is stable and has faster convergence. Our proposal can significantly increase the energy efficiency.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for improving not only the utilization of frequency bands in the guard channel scheme but also the dropping rate of cognitive radio user in the wireless cognitive radio-based cellular network. The proposed scheme enables cognitive radio users to utilize the guard channel for servicing only handoff calls in normal times, but cognitive radio users must vacate the frequency channel when handoff call appearing. At this time our scheme ensures their seamless services for cognitive radio users, by predicting handoff call's appearance by MMOSPRED (Multi-Media One Step Prediction) method and then reserving the demanded channels for spectrum handoff calls. Our simulations show that our scheme performs better than other schemes; GCS(Guard Channel Scheme) and a scheme without prediction in terms of cognitive users call's dropping rate and resource utilization efficiency.

This paper presents a new satellite radio interface, satellite code division multiple access (SAT-CDMA), for the satellite component of IMT-2000. The SAT-CDMA was proposed by Korea and was based on wideband CDMA (WCDMA) for a high degree of commonality with the terrestrial component of IMT-2000. Because a satellite link has a longer round trip delay and a higher Doppler shift than a terrestrial link, we developed new technologies that would make the satellite component especially efficient. We present the main features of the SAT-CDMA radio interface by focusing on satellite-specific schemes. We also demonstrate with extensive comparison results the performance of the main technologies in the SAT-CDMA radio interface.

With the explosivley increasing demand in wireless telecommunication service, the shortage of radio spectrum has been worsen. The traditional approach of the current fixed spectrum allocation leads to spectrum underutilization. Recently, CR (Cognitive Radio) technologies are proposed to enhance the spectrum utilization by allocating dynamically radio resources to CR Networks. In this study, we consider a radio resource(power, subcarrier) allocation problem for OFDMA-based CRN in which a base station supports a variety of CUs (CRN Users) while avoiding the radio interference to PRN (Primary Radio Network). The problem is mathematically formulated as a general 0-1 IP problem. The optimal solution method for the IP problem requires an unrealistic execution time due to its complexity. Therefore, we propose an heuristic that gives an approximate solution within a reasonable execution time.

Heterogeneous radios are used in disaster management agencies for a variety of reasons though the radio must have the same radio frequency and protocol for voice communication. For this reason, the variety of heterogeneous radio voice connection methods have been studied but these are simple analog voice line cross connection or partial networked based on digitalization. In this paper, we suggest the method of voice packet transmission method based on All-IP per radio through IP network using SIP/RTP for scalability and openness and developed a prototype of the proposed method was verified.

Cognitive radio, which is designed to dynamically adapt its transmission to the environments, is believed to be one of the fundamental techniques for future spectrum utilization. As the first step of cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is treated as the most important technique, through which cognition is well explained. In this paper, we propose a spectral correlation based detection method for spectrum sensing. An unlicensed secondary user system operating in TV broadcast bands is taken as an example. Based on the cyclostationarity of communication signals, spectral correlation function is used to minimize the effect of random noise and interference. Energy measurement and peak detection based criteria are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed detection method outperforms the energy detection and is more suitable for spectrum sensing in cognitive radios.

In this paper, we investigate the throughput capacity of a multi-hop relay network with cognitive radio (CR) enabled relay stations (RS). We suggested a TDMA/FDMA based frame structure where RSs dynamically select unused channels to communicate with the base station (BS) using CR techniques to analyze the throughput capacity. We developed the throughput capacity model for the proposed system based on utilization factor. The analytical results based on those equations show significant improvement in throughput capacity for CR enabled multi-hop relay system.
