본 논문에서는 time-varying Rayleigh fading channel에서 분산 안테나 시스템의 최적 전력 분배 기법을 제안한다. 기존 관련 연구에서는 각 기지국으로부터 수신되는 전력의 차이를 기지국간 전력 분배에 고려하지 않았으나, 최근 들어 빠르게 변하는 small scale fading까지 Channel State Information (CSI)로하여 전력 분배를 하는 경우에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 실제 무선통신 환경에서 송수신단간의 거리 차이 때문에 피드백이 반영된 신호가 수신될 때의 페이딩 채널은 피드백을 하는 시점과는 차이가 있고, 이로 인한 성능저하가 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능저하를 극복하고 CSI 피드백의 부담을 경감시키기 위하여 small scale fading을 제외하고, 느리게 변하는 경로손실과, 섀도잉에 의한 large scale fading값만을 피드백하는 분산 안테나 시스템을 제안하고 Bit Error Rate (BER)을 최소화하기 위한 최적 전력 분배 공식을 유도했다. 빠른 페이딩 환경에서, 제안된 최적 전력 분배 기법이 small scale fading까지 고려한 전력 분배 기법보다 월등히 좋은 성능을 보이며, 피드백 지연이 없는 환경에서도 1dB 이내의 성능을 보이는 것을 확인했다. 또한, 본 논문에서 Rayleigh fading channel을 가정하여 유도한 전력 분배 기법이 Line-of-Sight (LOS) 성분의 크기가 작은 Ricean fading channel에서도 최소의 BER과 거의 비슷한 값을 달성함을 보였다.

This paper investigates the performance of IEEE 802.11p wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) system in small-scale fading models reported by Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). We redesign the small-scale fading models to be applied to the computer simulation and develop the IEEE 802.11p WAVE physical layer simulator to provide the bit error rate and packet error rate performances. Moreover, a new channel estimator using decision directed channel estimation and linear minimum mean square error smoothing is proposed in order to improve the performance of the conventional least square channel estimator using two identical long training symbols. The simulation results are satisfactorily coincident with the scenarios of Georgia Tech report, and the proposed channel estimator significantly outperforms the conventional channel estimator.

In this paper, we investigate a dynamic spectrum sharing problem for the centralized uplink cognitive radio networks using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We formulate a large-scale joint rate and power allocation as an optimization problem under quality of service constraint for secondary users and interference constraint for primary users. We also suggest admission control to nd a feasible solution to the optimization problem. To implement the resource allocation on a large-scale, we introduce a notion of using the conservative factors $\alpha$ and $\beta$ depending on the outage and violation probabilities. Since estimating instantaneous channel gains is costly and requires high complexity, the proposed algorithm pursues a practical and implementation-friendly resource allocation. Simulation results demonstrate that the large-scale joint rate and power allocation incurs a slight loss in system throughput over the instantaneous one, but it achieves lower complexity with less sensitivity to variations in shadowing statistics.

최근, 휴대용 무선 통신 단말기 사용이 보편화 되고 다양한 통신 기술이 서비스되면서 단말의 소형화, 사용 지속성 측면에서 에너지 효율이 중요하게 다루어지고 있다. 단말이 지속적으로 다양한 통신서비스를 제공받기 위해 단말 주변 수 m 내에서 RF 에너지 신호를 방사하는 source로부터 RF 신호를 자원으로 무선으로 전력을 충전하는 무선 에너지 하비스팅 시나리오를 가정한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 에너지 하비스팅 효율을 증대시키기 위해 RF 신호를 송신하는 송신부(Tx)와 에너지 하비스팅 장치인 수신부(Rx)간 주기적으로 할당된 전체 주파수 범위 내에서 하비스팅 효율 맵을 형성하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 통해서 주파수에 따른 페이딩 정도를 파악하고 가장 높은 효율 값을 갖는 주파수를 선택하여 source 신호로 송신하여 에너지 하비스팅 효율 최적화를 달성한다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 알고리즘을 통해 가장 높은 효율을 갖는 신호는 가장 낮은 효율의 신호에 비해 동일 거리에서 최대 4.45dB 이득이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, stochastic models for the cross-correlation of multiple channels are established based on measurement data collected using a wideband multiple-input multiple-output relay Band Exploration and Channel Sounder system at 3.7 GHz. We propose models for the cross-correlation characteristics of large-scale parameters (LSPs) between two links, that is, the base station and mobile station (MS) link and the relay station and MS link. The LSPs include shadow fading, Rician K-factor, delay spread, angle spread of arrival, and angle spread of departure. Furthermore, models are established for the cross-correlation of the small-scale fading in the impulse responses of two links. The statistics of these model parameters are investigated as functions of geometrical features of the multilink. They are extracted from a large amount of cross-correlation observations, which are obtained in three measurement sites along more than one hundred measurement routes. These models can be used together with the standard single-link channel models for the generation of correlated components, for example, path clusters, in two separate channels.

A considerable literature has recently grown up on the theme of ship wireless communications. However, much of the research up to now has been descriptive in the offshore area. There has been little quantitative analysis of wireless communication in inland waterways, which has received considerable attention lately. Until now, only the effects on inland river environment are examined. What is less clear is the nature of channel change caused by the antenna movement. Here we explore the moving ship-to-fixed-ship fading characteristics at 5.9 GHz for an inland waterway in the city center of China. The ship motion trajectory is designed in order to determine the effect of changes in the antenna position. We evaluate the channel fading characteristics of inland waterway, which are highly correlated with the distance between transmitter and receiver. We demonstrate that the line-of-sight component, as well as the components from multipath with obstruction reflections, contributes largely to the mean power gap. Our findings reveal critical ship-to-ship characteristics in inland waterway, which definitely contribute to the field of ship wireless communications.

최근, 현대전은 GPS 위치측위를 바탕으로 정밀타격체계 및 미사일 방어체계가 핵심이 되어가고 있다. 하지만 군 환경 특성상 산악지형 및 시가전에서의 지형지물로 인한 large/small scale fading, 주파수 간섭 등으로 인해 오차를 가진 위치정보를 얻게 된다. 이는 아군 위치 파악 실패로 인한 지원 지연 및 유도탄 오폭으로 인명피해를 발생시키게 된다. 본 연구는 위치오차를 보정하기 위해 wavelet denoising filter를 이용한 간섭완화 측위기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 본 연구실에서 수행한 GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi밀결합 측위 기법의 실증 테스트 결과와 wavelet denoising filter를 적용한 시스템의 시뮬레이션 결과로 간섭완화 성능을 나타낸다. Wavelet denoising filter를 적용한 시스템의 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존 GPS보다 평균 21.6% 의 정확도 향상을 보이며 제안한 시스템 모델의 우수성을 입증한다.

We consider an overlaid broadcast service, where a spread spectrum (SS)-based broadcast signal is overlaid onto the existing terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) band. The system is similar to the augmented data transmission in the ATSC DTV, for which it was investigated mostly in terms of link level performance, such as bit error rate. Our focus in this paper is on the system-level performances. More specifically, utilizing both a large scale path loss and a small scale fading channel model, the primary objective is to explore the tradeoff between the coverage and the achievable rate of the overlaid service and, finally, to determine the achievable rate in the overlaid service for marginal coverage reduction in the existing broadcast service. The analytical and simulation results show that an SS-based add-on service of 10 kbps to 20 kbps can co-exist with the T-DMB service while resulting in only a marginal degradation in T-DMB coverage (for example, less than one percent reduction).

The performance of a cognitive radio network (CRN) solely depends on how precisely the secondary users can sense the presence or absence of primary users. The incorporation of a spatial false alarm makes deriving the probability of a correct decision a cumbersome task. Previous literature performed this task for the case of a received signal under a Normal probability density function case. In this paper we enhance the previous work, including the impact of carrier frequency, the gain of antennas on both sides, and antenna heights so as to observe the robustness against noise and interference and to make the correct decision of detection. Three small scale fading channels: Rayleigh, Normal, and Weibull were considered to get the real scenario of a CRN in an urban area. The incorporation of a maximal-ratio combining and selection combing with a variation of the number of received antennas have also been studied in order to achieve the correct decision of spectral sensing, so as to serve the cognitive users. Finally, we applied the above concept to a traffic model of the CRN, which we based on a two-dimensional state transition chain.

In evaluating the performance of a dual-hop wireless link, the effects of large and small scale fading has to be considered. To overcome this fading effect, several schemes, such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with orthogonal space time block codes (OSTBC), different combining schemes at the relay and receiving end, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are used in both the transmitting and the relay links. In this paper, we first make compare the performance of a two-hop wireless link under a different combination of space diversity in the first and second hop of the amplify-and-forward (AF) case. Our second task in this paper is to incorporate the weak signal of a direct link and then by applying the channel model of two random variables (one for a direct link and another for a relayed link) we get very impressive result at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is comparable with other models at a higher SNR. Our third task is to bring other three schemes under a two-hop wireless link: use of transmit antenna selection (TAS) on both link with weak direct link, distributed Alamouti scheme in two-hop link and single relay antenna with OFDM subcarrier. Finally, all of the schemes mentioned above are compared to select the best possible model. The main finding of the paper is as follows: the use of MIMO on both hops but application TAS on both links with weak direct link and the full rate OFDM with the sub-carrier for an individual link provide a better result as compared to other models.
