본 논문은 UWB (Ultra Wide Band) 시스템의 성능 개선을 위해서 Superframe 주기를 이용한 MAC(Medium Access Control) 계층 time slot 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. Multi-band ORM Alliance (MBOA) 에서 제안한 UWB시스템에서는 Time Slot의 동기를 위해서 Medium Access Slot (MAS) 와 MAS사이의 guard time에 단말기들 간의 MAC 계층 주파수 오프셋으로 야기될 수 있는 시간 오차의 최대값인 MaxDrift를 더해주게 된다. MaxDrift를 더한 만큼 MAS에서 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 시간이 줄어들게 되므로 각각의 MAS에 MaxDrift를 더해주는 방식은 전체 시스템 성능의 저하를 가져오게 된다. 본 논문에서는 시스템의 성능을 높이고자 time slot동기를 guard time을 증가시키는 방식이 아닌, Superframe주기로 전송되는 연속된 Beacon Frame을 수신하여 주파수 오프셋 값을 estimation하여 보정해주는 방법을 제안한다. Piconet을 초기화시킨 Device는 내부 clock을 이용해서 Superframe주기로 Beacon을 전송을 하므로, Piconet에 접속하려는 단말기들은 연속된 Beacon을 수신하여 Piconet을 생성한 단말기의 MAC계층과 수신한 단말기와의 MAC계층 주파수 오프셋을 구할 수 있다. 각각의 수신 단말기에서 측정한 상대적 주파수 오프셋 값을 내부적으로 estimation한 각각의 MAS의 position에 가감시켜 Piconet을 생성한 단말기에서 estimation한 MAS position에 동기를 맞출 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘을 통해서 단말기들 간의 최대 주파수 오프셋 값과 관계없이 MaxDrift로 인해서 낭비되는 시간을 각 MAS당 1clock 이내로 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘을 하드웨어로 합성한 결과 390개의 Logic Cell이 소모되었으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 최대주파수 오프셋이 20ppm, 40ppm, 80ppm일 때 MAS당 오차범위가 main clock의 1clock이내였으며 기존의 방법에 비해서 각각 1%, 2%, 4%의 throughput이 향상되었다.

This study is aimed at a validation of the vigilance simulation model which was proposed earlier (2). The model estimates a perceived danger value, an alertness level and the probability of detection at a given elapsed time of vigilance. Twenty-nine male and seven female subjects were given a simple task. They were asked to detect a number(four numbers out of six digits in the telephone directory which have the probability of occurrence in the range of 0.0010-0.0018) in six different experimental conditions, for periods of two to three hours. Analysis of the experiments showed that although the mean detection rate varied slightly in two hours, the within-subject variance and the number of cyclic performance fluctuations increased significantly. A primal factor that affects the performance seems to be the frequency of target occurrence. By curve fitting, the relation between the probability of detection and the percentages of danger event occurrence was derived; $y=0.50(1-{\varepsilon}^{-50x^2})+0.39$. Assuming the equation represents the normal detection rate(100% performance), the Relative Vigilance Performance Rating was calculated. This rating method could be a useful criterion in selecting and training of the vigilance personnel. The results show that the simulation model is a good estimator of human a performance when the probability of danger occurrence is greater than 0.0015; it gives a good reference for improving the vigilance system. Suggestions are made that (1) the validity of proposed functional equations over the extended range of danger probability be studied, (2) an analysis of the cyclic fluctuations of the alertness level be accomplished, and (3) the cost functions of detection reliability be included in any future model.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication system has drawn wide attention for its high transmission rate and high spectrum efficiency in not only radio but also Underwater Acoustic (UWA) applications. Because of the narrow sub-carrier spacing of OFDM, orthogonality between sub-carriers is easily affected by Doppler effect caused by the movement of transmitter or receiver. Previously, Doppler compensation signal processing algorithm for Desired propagation path was proposed. However, other Doppler shifts caused by delayed Undesired signal arriving from different directions cannot be perfectly compensated. Then Receiver Bit Error Rate (BER) is degraded by Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) caused in the case of Multi-path Doppler channel. To mitigate the ICI effect, a modified Delay and Doppler Profiler (mDDP), which estimates not only attenuation, relative delay and Doppler shift but also sampling clock shift of each multi-path component, is proposed. Based on the outputs of mDDP, an ICI canceling multi-tap equalizer is also proposed. Computer simulated performances of one-tap equalizer with the conventional Time domain linear interpolated Channel Transfer Function (CTF) estimator, multi-tap equalizer based on mDDP are compared. According to the simulation results, BER improvement has been observed. Especially, in the condition of 16QAM modulation, transmitting vessel speed of 6m/s, two-path multipath channel with direct path and ocean surface reflection path; more than one order of magnitude BER reduction has been observed at CNR=30dB.
