DS-COMA is now a matured multiple access technology that utilizes spreading codes for user separation. In this paper, we attempt to improve the performance of a multiuser DS-COMA system with a unique chip shaping code called Carrier Interferometry (CI) code. The CI codes exhibit an excellent correlation property that can be used in many applications. In DS-COMA with CI codes (CI/DS-COMA), the symbols are spread by a spreading code and then the chip signals are shaped using a CI code. Due to the correlation property of the CI code, a diversity gain from the shaped chip signals is achieved and the performance of DS-COMA is significantly improved. Comparison study demonstrates that the DS-COMA with CI outperforms the conventional DS-COMA system in multiuser environments.

본 연구에서는 다중 전송률을 갖는 WCDMA 시스템에서 OVSF코드를 사용한 새로운 코드 그룹화 간섭제거기를 제안한다. 사용자들은 전송률에 따라 길이가 다른 OVSF 코드를 할당하며 대표코드가 같은 OVSF 코드를 사용하는 사용자들을 그룹화 한다. 제안된 코드그룹화 간섭제거기는 그룹간 간섭을 제거한 후 그룹내 간섭을 차례로 제거한다. 간섭제거기는 간섭사용자들의 정확한 정보 없이 원하는 사용자의 코드 정보만 알고 있어도 간섭제거 및 사용자신호의 검출이 가능하다. 제안된 시스템은 그룹 단위의 처리를 통하여 간섭을 보다 쉽고 간단하게 제거함으로써 성능이 향상되며 기존 방식보다 효율적인 시스템을 구현할 수 있다.

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of the ex-vessel core melt (corium) were investigated using a commercial CFD code along with the experimental data on the spreading of corium available in the literature (VULCANO VE-U7 test). In the numerical simulation of the unsteady two-phase flow, the volume-of-fluid model was applied for the spreading and interfacial surface formation of corium with the surrounding air. The effects of the key parameters were evaluated for the corium spreading, including the radiation, decay heat, temperature-dependent viscosity and initial temperature of corium. The results showed a reasonable trend of corium progression influenced by the changes in the radiation, decay heat, temperature-dependent viscosity and initial temperature of corium. The modeling of the viscosity appropriate for corium and the radiative heat transfer was critical, since the front progression and temperature profiles were strongly dependent on the models. Further development is required for the code to consider the formation of crust on the surfaces of corium and the interaction with the substrate.

The aim of this research is to analyze the characteristics of a core melt discharged from the reactor vessel and the spreading behavior the core melt in the reactor cavity of the SMART. First, a severe accident sequence under conservative conditions is simulated by the MELCOR code to obtain the conditions for an analysis of the spreading behavior and coolability of the ex-vessel melt. Second, the spreading behavior and coolability of the ex-vessel melt are analyzed by the MELTSPREAD code. The level, temperature, and pressure of the water in the cavity as well as the temperature, mass, composition, and discharge velocity of the melt were utilized to construct the ex-vessel analysis. The melt spread only to part of the cavity, and that the height of the corium in a static state was less than 25 cm. The characteristics of a small modular reactor on the spreading behavior and coolability of melt were analyzed. In the SMART, the amount of melt discharged into the cavity is relatively small and the area of the cavity is sufficiently large when compared to a high-power pressurized water reactor. It was found that the coolability of an ex-vessel core melt can be sufficiently secured.

This paper is concerned with the reverse link performance of multi-code CDMA systems in multipath fading environments. The degree of orthogonality loss among multiple spreading code channels is characterized as the orthogonality factor. It depends on various system parameters including multipath power profiles of propagation channels and the number of Paths resolved at a Rake receiver. The effect of the parameters on the system performance is then investigated in terms of bit error rate and required signal quality. The results show that multipath delay power profiles dominantly affect mutual interference among multi-code channels and multipath combining gain by bandwidth expansion is not so great due to the increase of the mutual interference. Moreover, the orthogonality factor is derived as the value of between (1/m) and 1.

This paper analyzes the signal acquisition performance of the legacy GNSS spreading codes and a polyphase code. The code length and chip rate of a polyphase code are assumed to be same as those of the GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1C codes. The autocorrelation and cross correlation characteristics are analyzed. In addition, a way to calculate a more accurate probability of false alarm for a code with sidelobe non-zero auto-correlation function is proposed. Finally, we estimate the probability of detection and the mean acquisition time for a given signal strength and the probability of false alarm.

This paper proposes a new multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system. The proposed multicarrier CDMA system provides the advantages that the transmission bandwidth is more efficiently utilized by using divided spreading sequence, time and frequency diversity is achieved in frequency selective nultipath (acting channel, and inter-carrier interference (ICI) can be minimized by using specific data and code pattern. In this system, transmitted data bits are serial-to-parallel converted to some parallel branches. On each branch each bit is direct-sequence spread-spectrum modulated by divided spreading sequences and transmitted using orthogonal carriers. The receiver providers a Rake for each carrier, and the outputs of Rakes are combined to get time and frequency diversity. This multicarrier CDMA system allows additional flexibility in the choice of system parameters. Upon varying system parameters, bit error rate (BER) performance is examined for the proposed multicarrier CDMA system. Simulation results show that the proposed multicarrier CDMA scheme can achieve better performance than the other types of conventional multicarrier CDMA systems.

이 논문에서는 다매체(Multi-Media)를 지원하는 변환 확산 이득을 가지는 직접수열 다중접속 시스템(Variable Processing Gain DS/CMA System)에 대해 생각한다. 서로 다른 전송율과 서로 다른 전송 전력을 가지는 두 가지 유형의 정보원이 같은 채널로 전송된다고 가정한다. 각 유형의 정보원에 대한 상관 수신기에서의 평균 신호 대 잡음비를 확산 부호간의 부분 상관함수들의 함수로 유도하였다. 매체간의 전송율의 차이가 클수록 랜덤 확산부호를 가정에 의한 평균 신호 대 잡음비가 실제값과 큰 차이(최대 1dB 이상)를 나타냄을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다매체 직접수열 대역확산 다중접속 시스템 설계에 필요한 분석적인 도구로 이용될 수 있다.
