Positioning accuracy by the Global Positioning System (GPS) is of great concern in a variety of research tasks. It is limited due to error sources such as ionospheric effect, orbital uncertainty, antenna phase center variation, signal multipath, and tropospheric influence. In this study, the tropospheric influence, primarily due to water vapour inhomogeneity, on GPS positioning height is investigated. The data collected by the GPS receivers along with co-located surface meteorological instruments in 2003 are utilized. The GPS receivers are established as continuously operating reference stations by the Ministry of the Interior (MOI), Central Weather Bureau (CWB), and Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan, and International GNSS Service (IGS). The total number of GPS receivers is 21. The surface meteorological measurements include temperature, pressure, and humidity. They are introduced to GPS data processing with 24 troposphere parameters for the station heights, which are compared with those obtained without a priori knowledge of surface meteorological measurements. The results suggest that surface meteorological measurements have an expected impact on the GPS height. The daily correction maximum with the meteorological effect may be as large as 9.3 mm for the cases of concern.

Ultrasonic sensors are widely employed in detecting range to a target by the virtue of their low cost and simplicity. However, the sensor's measurements are corrupted by systematic errors due mainly to the dependency of sound speed upon surrounding conditions and random errors of uncertain origin. In this paper, we present the results of research carried out to reduce these errors for increasing the reliability of an untrasonic sensor system to be used in orbotic or other automated system's range finding. The sensor system designed herein is in a peuliar structure having a reference target and two receivers. Echoes from a small reference target placed at a known distance are used for compensating the variations of sound speed according to the changes of sensing conditions. Unlike existing ones, the technique proposed can compensate the effects of temperature or any other physical parameters without an additional sensor dedicated to the compensation. The measurements by two redundantly employed receivers are fused to reduce random errors in a statistical sense. The correlation of the signals from the receivers sharing a hardware in part is considered in the fusion process. The methodology desicribed in this paepr is conceptually simple, easy to be implemented, and effetive to increase the accuracy of the sensor measurements as experimental results confirm.

인터넷의 급격한 확산과 함께 다양한 형태의 새로운 응용서비스들이 등장하였다. 이러한 응용으로 VOD(Video On Demand), AOD(Audio On Demand), 영상회의, 원격진료, 인터넷 방송 등과 같은 실시간 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 대용량의 데이터를 전송하기 위한 고속의 링크 기술과 여러 수신자들에게 데이터를 전송하는 멀티캐스트 기술 및 실시간으로 데이터를 처리하기 위한 QoS의 보장 등이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 그룹 관리 서버와 멀티캐스트 VC의 식별자 정보를 사용하여, 멀티캐스트 그룹에 가입하고 탈퇴하는 경우뿐만 아니라 멀티캐스트 VC에 참여하고 탈퇴하는 경우에도 IP 멀티캐스트의 수신자주도 특성을 제공하여 ATM 망에서 효율적으로 IP 멀티캐스트를 제공하는 새로운 메커니즘을 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 메커니즘은 멀티캐스트 그룹에 참여/탈퇴할 경우뿐만 아니라, 멀티캐스트 VC에 참여/탈퇴할 경우에도 IP 멀티캐스트의 수신자 주도 특성을 제공하였다. 본 논문의 구성은 다음과 같다. 서론에 이어, IP 멀티캐스트 ATM 망에서 제공하는 기존의 방식들을 소개하고, 기존 방식들의 문제점을 분석하고 제안한 메커니즘을 설명한다. 그리고 기존 방식과 비교하여 제안한 메커니즘을 평가하고, 결론을 맺는다.

멀티캐스트를 이용한 멀티미디어 응용에서는 다수의 수신자들로부터 피드백을 수신할 경우 폭주로 인한 혼잡이 발생하여 전송률이 낮아지는 문제가 발생한다. 이를 위해 계층적 대표자 기법이 제안되었다. 그러나 수신자 전체를 고려한 전송률 조절로 인하여 혼잡이 없는 지역의 전송률도 같이 낮아지는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 지역대표자를 두었다. 지역대표자는 해당 그룹의 전송률이 최소 유지임계치 미만일 경우, 혼잡 수신자를 전송률 계산에서 제외시켜 다시 계산한다. 이렇게 함으로써 혼잡이 발생하지 않는 지역의 전송률이 같이 낮아지는 문제를 개선하였다. 실험을 통한 결과를 볼 때 기존의 기법보다 더 안정적인 전송률로 조절됨을 보였다.

다자간 화상회의에서 발생하는 네트워크 혼잡상태에 동적으로 적응하기 위한 연구로는 송신자기반기법과 수신자기반 기법이 있는데, 전자는 수신자들의 평균 손실률에 따른 전송률로 가용 대역폭이 높은 수신자의 대역폭 낭비가 발생하며, 후자는 수신자들의 가용 대역폭에 따른 레이어(layer)를 동적으로 나누는 방법이 부족하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 수신자의 네트워크 상태에 따라 정상상태와 혼잡상태로 구분하는 두 개의 멀티캐스트 그룹을 형성하고, 수신자가 손실률에 따라 동적으로 그룹을 선택함으로써 대역폭에 적합한 품질의 서비스를 받을 수 있도록 하는 대역폭 관리 알고리즘을 설계한 후 이를 구현하였다. 실험을 통한 결과를 살펴볼 때 수신자는 손실률에 따라 적합한 그룹을 선택함으로써 대역폭 낭비가 발생하는 문제점을 개선할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a high precision outdoor positioning system is newly proposed using multiple GPS receivers based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Typically, the GPS signal has the instantaneous errors that degrade the positioning seriously. Using the multiple GPS receivers instead of an expensive DGPS receiver, the positioning reliability and accuracy are improved in this research as a low cost solution. To incorporate the small displacement, an INS data have been tightly coupled to the GPS data, which has the inherit disadvantage of the cumulative error occurring over time. To achieve a stabilized and accurate positioning system, the multiple GPS receiver data are fused with the INS data through the EKF process. Through real navigation experiments of an outdoor mobile robot, the performance of the proposed system has been verified to be accurate comparable to DGPS system with a lower cost.

In this paper, we present a comparative performance evaluation of the sampling frequency synchronization method that eliminates the initial sampling frequency offset (SFO) to reduce the overall synchronization time in Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receivers. To satisfy the advanced synchronization performance requirements of DRM receivers, we introduce the conventional DRM synchronization method (Method 1) and another method (Method 2), which does not perform the initial sampling frequency synchronization in the conventional synchronization method (both methods are mentioned later in this paper). To demonstrate the effectiveness of the performance evaluation, analytical expressions for frame detection are derived and simulations are provided. Based on the simulations and numerical analysis, our result shows that Method 2, with a negligible performance loss, is robust to the effects of the initial sampling frequency synchronization even if SFO is present in the DRM signal. In addition, we verify that the inter-cell differential correlation used between reference cells is robust to the effect of the initial SFO.

In interference tolerance based spectrum sharing systems, primary receivers (PRs) are protected by a predefined peak or average interference power constraint. To implement such systems, cognitive radio (CR) transmitters are required to adjust their transmit power so that the interference power received at the PR receivers is kept below the threshold value. Hence, a CR-transmitter requires knowledge of its channel and the primary receiver in order to allocate the transmit power. In practice, it is impossible or very difficult for a CR transmitter to have perfect knowledge of this channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we investigate the impact of imperfect knowledge of this CSI on the performances of both a primary and cognitive radio network. For fixed transmit power, average interference power (AIP) constraint can be maintained through knowledge of the channel distribution information. To maintain the peak interference power (PIP) constraint, on the other hand, the CR-transmitter requires the instantaneous CSI of its channel with the primary receiver. First, we show that, compared to the PIP constraint with perfect CSI, the AIP constraint is advantageous for primary users but not for CR users. Then, we consider a PIP constraint with imperfect CSI at the CR-transmitter. We show that inaccuracy in CSI reduces the interference at the PR-receivers that is caused by the CR-transmitter. Consequently the proposed schemes improve the capacity of the primary links. Contrarily, the capacities of the CR links significantly degrade due to the inaccuracy in CSI.

The software GPS receivers based on the SDR technology provide the ability to easily adapt the other signal processing algorithms without changing or modifying the hardware of the GPS receiver. However, it is difficult to implement the software GPS receivers using a commercial processor because of the heavy computational burden for processing the GPS signals in real-time. This paper proposes an efficient GPS signal processing scheme to reduce the computational burden for processing the GPS signals in the software GPS receiver, which uses a fundamental notion compressing the replica signals and the encoded look-up table method to generate correlation values between GPS signals and replica signals. In this paper, it is explained that the computational burden of the proposed scheme is much smaller than that of the typical GPS signal processing scheme. Finally, the processing time of the proposed scheme is compared with that of the typical scheme, and the improvement in the aspect of the computational burden is also shown.

The analog-to-digital-converter-based (ADC-based) backplane receivers that consist of a front-end ADC followed by a digital equalizer are gaining more popularity in recent years, as they support more sophisticated equalization required for high data rates, scale better with fabrication technology, and are more immune to PVT variations. Unfortunately, designing an ADC-based receiver that meets tight power and performance budgets of high-speed backplane link systems is non-trivial as both front-end ADC and digital equalizer can be power consuming and complex when running at high speed. This paper reviews the state of art designs for the front-end ADC and digital equalizers to suggest implementation choices that can achieve high speed while maintaining low power consumption and complexity. Design-space exploration using system-level models of the ADC-based receiver allows through analysis on the impact of design parameters, providing useful information in optimizing the power and performance of the receiver at the early stage of design. The system-level simulation results with newer device parameters reveal that, although the power consumption of the ADC-based receiver may not comparable to the receivers with analog equalizers yet, they will become more attractive as the fabrication technology continues to scale as power consumption of digital equalizer scales well with process.
