The downlink performance of distributed antenna systems (DAS) with antennas selection is investigated in Rayleigh fading multicell environment, and the corresponding system capacity and bit error rate (BER) analysis are presented. Based on the moment generating function, the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the effective signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the system are first derived, respectively. Then, with the available CDF and PDF, the accurate closed-form expressions of average channel capacity and average BER are further derived for exact performance evaluation. To simplify the expression, a simple closed-form approximate expression of average channel capacity is obtained by means of Taylor series expansion, with the performance results close to the accurate expression. Besides, the system outage capacity is analyzed, and an accurate closed-form expression of outage capacity probability is derived. These theoretical expressions can provide good performance evaluation for DAS downlink. It can be shown by simulation that the theoretical analysis and simulation are consistent, and DAS with antenna selection outperforms that with conventional blanket transmission. Moreover, the system performance can be effectively improved as the number of receive antennas increases.

Most works on importance sampling (IS) as an efficient evaluation technique havd been done in an additibe white gaussian noise channel (Awgn). In this paper we propose a CQ(conventional importance sampling and quasi-translantion) IS technique for the mobile radio channel modeled as Rician fading, and analyze the IS estimator's variance to determine optimum IS parameters and the minimum number of run times. Reference showed that CIS technique has a poor performance for systems with meories, but it is shown that the CIS technique can be improved by combining with quasi-translation technique even for systems with memories. Here the CQ IS technique modifies the variance of additive noise and also performs quasi-translation for the fading distribution. We determine the optimum IS parameters of the proposed CQ IS estimator and whow that the simulation gains are about 10$^{3}$~10$^{6}$ for the mobile communication systems with memories in case of the expected BERs 10$^{-5}$ ~10$^{-8}$ .

OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템에서 주파수 동기 오차는 시변 특성으로 인해 시스템 성능 저하를 유발하는 가장 중요한 문제 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 기반의 이동 WiMAX 시스템에서 파일럿 심벌 기반의 미세 잔여 주파수 동기 오차 추정기의 성능을 분석한다. FFT 과정 후 수행되는 파일럿 기반의 미세 주파수 동기 오차 추정기의 MSE (mean square error) 성능을 시변 페이딩 채널에서 수식적으로 유도한다. 본 논문에서 유도된 MSE 성능 검증을 위하여 미세 주파수 동기화 기법을 IEEE802.16e 표준의 프레임 구조에 적용하여 모의실험을 수행한다.

In sensor networks, it is crucial to reliably and energy-efficiently deliver sensed information from each source to a sink node. Specifically, in mobile sink (user) applications, due to the sink mobility, a stationary dissemination path may no longer be effective. The path will have to be continuously reconfigured according to the current location of the sink. Moreover, the dynamic optimal path from each source to the sink is required in order to reduce end-to-end delay and additional energy wastage. In this paper, an Adaptive Reversal Optimal path Tree (AROT) protocol is proposed. Information delivery from each source to a mobile sink can be easily achieved along the AROT without additional control overhead, because the AROT proactively performs adaptive sink mobility management. In addition, the dynamic path is optimal in terms of hop counts and the AROT can maintain a robust tree structure by quickly recovering the partitioned tree with minimum packet transmission. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the AROT is a considerably energy-efficient and robust protocol.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm for cellular relay networks by considering relay selection, variation of channel quality, and packet delay. In the networks, mobile users are equipped with not only cellular but also user relaying radio interfaces, where base station exploits adaptive high speed downlink channel. Our proposed algorithm selects a user with good cellular channel condition as a relay station for other users with bad cellular channel condition but can get access to relay link with good quality. This can achieve flexible packet scheduling by adjusting transmission rates of cellular link. Packets are scheduled for transmission depending on scheduling indexes which are calculated based on user's achieved transmission rate, packet utility, and proportional fairness of their throughput. The performance results obtained by using computer simulation show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is able to achieve high network capacity, low packet loss, and good fairness in terms of received throughput of mobile users.

본 논문에서는 주파수 도약 방식을 이용한 대역확산 다중 통신 시스템에서, 인접채널 상호간섭에 의한 BER을 계산하고, 비교하기 위한 실제적인 모델이 제시되었다. 이때 BER은 망동기가 되었을 경우와 안되었을 경우에 대하여 각각 계산 및 측정하여 비교하였다. 동기식과 비동기식의 두 가지 경우에 있어서 주파수 도약 시스템을 제작하였으며 BER이 측정되었다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 동기식이 비동기식 보다 성능이 우수하다는 것이 입증되었다. 또한 이러한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 모델은 향후 이동통신 환경에서 실제적인 주파수 도약시스템을 설계하는데 매우 유용하다.

Various types of cooperative relaying (CR) schemes exhibit different levels of throughput and outage performance because of their inherent trade-off between diversity gain and opportunity cost; in other words, the overhead that is associated with cooperation. This article attempts to answer whether cooperative communication is beneficial or not from the system-level viewpoint and furthermore, if it is, how its average throughput can be maximized while maintaining the target outage rate. In order to improve throughput at the required outage performance, we propose a unified selection criterion to deal with different levels of combining gain and opportunity cost associated with each scheme, which allows for the employment of different CR schemes for various positions of the mobile station. Our system-level simulation results for an IEEE 802.16j multi-hop relay confirm the varying levels of trade-offs among different CR schemes and furthermore, show that CR will be a useful means of maximizing the average throughput for a multi-hop relay system as long as each type of the cooperating scheme is carefully selected, depending on the position of the mobile stations.

The third generation mobile communications system requiring the reliable multimedia data transmission has provided with the reliable voice, data and video services over the variable propagation environment. However the broadband wireless multiple access technologies cause Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) or Multiple Access Interference (MAI) to degrade the performance of W-CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system. Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) which is frequently used as the adaptive blind equalizers to remove the interfering signal has ill-convergence phenomenon without proper initialization. In this paper, new blind equalization method based on conventional CMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency, and through computer simulation this is tested over the time varying fading environment of mobile communication system. Consequently, new blind equalization method into concatenated Kalman filter with CMA is verified better than conventional CMA through adopting minimum mean square errors and eye-pattern obtained from algorithm are compared.

Latency, an identified element of Internet protocol (IP) mobility protocol execution, can reduce handover performance in mobile networks. Although the performance can be improved by applying an effective network-based IP mobility scheme in place of the traditional host-based alternatives, the existing inter-domain extensions of network-based IP mobility continue to suffer from an extended handover latency. This paper proposes a new inter-domain network-based IP mobility scheme based on node movement prediction. The proposed scheme accelerates the handover by preparing the future domain of the mobile node in a proactive manner. Analytical and simulation-based evaluations confirm improved performance of the proposed scheme in terms of handover latency and packet loss compared with existing schemes.
