In this paper, BER(Bit Error Ratio) performances of the TransferJet system, which is the standard of a close proximity inductive wireless communication system, are presented and analyzed. Comparing to other wireless communication systems, the TransferJet system has some advantages such as short communication range(i.e., high security in the wireless communication environments), fewer effects of multipath distortion, and higher transmission rate. In order to demodulate the received signal, either SC(Soft-decision Combining) or HC(Hard-decision Combining) can apply to the despreader and demodulator of the receiver. When the spreading factor is more than 4, the SC scheme approximately has a minimum signal-to-noise ratio gain of 2 dB over the HC scheme. Moreover, from simulation results, we can conclude that the quantization bits of 3 bits are an optimum value for the SC scheme in the TransferJet system since the 3-bit quantization achieves nearly the performance as that attained by double-precision floating-point.

This study was carried out to commercialize FTTH by developing a burst mode optical receiver for E-PON. The optical receiver was manufactured by minimizing the capacitance of a photodiode to improve sensitivity for meeting 10, 20 km OLT Rx standard of E-PON at the transmission speed of 1.25 Gb/s. When bit-error ratio is $10^{-12}$ and PRBS is $2^5-1$, sensitivity is -26 dBm, loud/soft ratio is 23 dB. Both preamble time and guard time were set to 102.4 ns (128 bit). After comparing a photodiode whose capacitance is 0.53 pF with another photodiode whose capacitance has been minimized to 0.26 pF, we could see that sensitivity improved to 0.7 dBm and so did bandwidth to 190 MHz of burst mode for the optical receiver manufactured by the photodiode whose capacitance is 0.26 pF.

In the DVB-S2, which is the technical specification of the second generation digital video broadcasting via satellite, APSK modulation scheme along with LDPC coding schemes are defined. APSK is a multi-lelvel PSK modulation scheme and decoding of LDPC coded signal requires soft decision information. Therefore, the APSK demodulator at the receiver should have capability of estimating soft information. In this paper, we introduce a method to estimate soft information by using simple distance estimation, and show that this method overestimates the soft information. Subsequently, this overestimated soft information leads to performance degradation. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a scaling method to improve the performance at the receiver In addition, we show that the proposed scaling scheme enables us to estimate the soft information with linear order complexity and produce the performance close to the maximum likelihood detection.

In this paper, we propose feasible combining rules for a decoding scheme of product codes to apply finite soft decision. Since the decoding scheme of product codes are based on complex tanh calculation with infinite soft decision, it requires high decoding complexity and is hard to practically implement. Thus, simple methods to construct look-up tables for finite soft decision are derived by analyzing the operations of the scheme. Moreover, we focus on using convolutional codes, which is popular for easy application of finite soft decision, as the horizontal codes of product codes so that the proposed decoding scheme can be properly implemented. Numerical results show that the performance of the product codes with convolutional codes using 4-bit soft decision approaches to that of same codes using infinite soft decision.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is robust to frequency selective fading and narrowband interference in high-speed data communications. However, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, which can give a large PAPR (peak-to-Average Power Ratio) when added up coherently. In this paper, we propose a new PAPR reduction method using Adaptive Sine Soft Clipping (ASS Clipping) to solve the PAPR problem. The proposed method reduce the PAPR and out-of-band spectrum by cutting down high frequency components. From computer simulation results, we analyze the PSD (Power Spectral Density) and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance as well as PAPR reduction performance when the ASS Clipping method is applied to OFDM system.

Start Ongoing next generation networks are expected to be deployed over current existing networks, in the form of overlayed heterogeneous networks, in particular, in hot spot areas. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop an interworking technique such as load balancing, to achieve increased overall resource utilization in the various heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we present a new load balancing mechanism termed 'soft' load balancing where the IP(Internet Protocol) traffic of a user is divided into sub-traffic, each of which flows into a different access network. The terminology of soft load balancing involves the use of both load sharing and handover techniques. Through a numerical analysis, we obtain an optimal LBR (Load Balancing Ratio) for determining the volume of traffic delivered to each network over an overlayed multi-cell environment. Using the optimal LBR, a more reliable channel transmission can be achieved by reducing the outage probability efficiently for a given user traffic.

In this paper, we propose a robust face recognition method against soft errors with a deep convolutional generative adversarial network(DCGAN) based compensation method by a cross-layer approach. When soft-errors occur in block data of JPEG files, these blocks can be decoded inappropriately. In previous results, these blocks have been replaced using a mean face, thereby improving recognition ratio to a certain degree. This paper uses a DCGAN-based compensation approach to extend the previous results. When soft errors are detected in an embedded system layer using parity bit checkers, they are compensated in the application layer using compensated block data by a DCGAN-based compensation method. Regarding soft errors and block data loss in facial images, a DCGAN architecture is redesigned to compensate for the block data loss. Simulation results show that the proposed method effectively compensates for performance degradation due to soft errors.
