최근 동일본 대지진 또는 중국 쓰촨성 대지진 등 국가적인 재해 재난이 한반도 주변에서 자주 일어나고 있다. 대한민국도 마찬가지로 집중호우로 인한 인명피해가 발생되기도 했다. 이러한 경우 해당 재난지역 내의 주민들이 지역상황을 인지하고 대피하게 할 수 있다면, 인명피해를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 보급률이 뛰어나고 개인 휴대형 기기인 휴대전화기를 통한 재난방송 기능이 제안되었다. 여기에는 재난 방송의 특성상 지연시간과 수신율에 문제점이 있을 수 있다. 그러므로 방송 (broadcasting)개념이 도입되어 다수의 사용자가 한 번에 수신할 수 있도록 CBS (Cell Broadcasting Service) 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 이 또한 현실적으로 LTE (Long Term Evolution) 망에서만 가능하며 3세대 통신, WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 에서는 대기전력 소모에 의한 배터리 소요로 제외되었다. 본 지에서는 CBS를 이용하여 WCDMA 단말을 소지한 사용자에게도 DMB를 통해 재난상황을 인지 할 수 있는 새로운 게이트웨이를 제안한다.

This paper evaluates the performance combining space-time transmit diversity (STTD) and an efficient channel estimator (ECE) for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) systems in various mobile channels. Using decision variable (DV), we also derive the analytic bit error rate (BER) and mean square error (MSE) for WCDMA applying ECE for STTD schemes. The simulation results show that the ECE performance is superior to the previous works in [1] as because we use additional pilot diversity which is so called secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH). The performance in case of the channel estimator using only one-channel or two-channel is worse than that of an ECE as about the maximum 4 dB at BER 1.0E-3 satisfying voice service over Rician fading channel. Our results show that, even with ICE, an ECE algorithm are effective in improving the output SNR and significantly reduce the error floor. In addition, the simulation results investigated in this paper also reveal that WCDMA combining an ECE and the STTD scheme could provide appreciable performance improvements in Rayleigh fading channel.

In this paper, we analyze the adjacent interference between WCDMA and M-WiMAX systems in the 2.6GHz Band under the SISO (Single Input Single Output) configuration. The interference scenarios are characterized into 8 scenarios with different victim and interfering links. Among the 8 scenarios, we find that the most performance loss is observed in the scenarios of victim uplink suffering interference from downlink in both systems. Besides, guard band is applied to mitigate the adjacent interference in all the scenarios. Especially, we reveal that M-WiMAX system is much more sensitive to adjacent interference than WCDMA system due to the lower transmission power. In this paper, we consider the worst interference environment, where interferers always transmit with the maximum power, a loose spectrum mask is adapted, and no additional channel fitters are equipped in both systems.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of WCDMA reverse link receiver system with closed loop fast transmit power control (TPC). For fast power control, SIR must be measured precisely. We propose a new SIR measurement algorithm having a simple structure. The proposed algorithm uses unused OVSF code for interference power evaluation. The proposed SIR measurement algorithm is compared to the conventional SIR measurement algorithm in Ref.$^{［1］}$ under closed loop fast TPC. We adopted WMSA channel estimation filter with Κ=2 for mobile radio channel estimation and considered one slot TPC delay. Extensive computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm using unused OVSF code reduces the required Ε$_{b}$ /Ι$_{0}$ at the BER of 10$^{-3}$ up to 0.9㏈ and has an improved TPC error performance compared to the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we analyze the coverage of asynchronous IMT(International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000 reverse link with a MUD(Multi-User Detector) system. The MUD system is utilized to increase the coverage of reverse link. Also we have considered a propagation loss model and an interference effect. Because it is very difficult that we have calculated the interference accurately, so a fractional cell loading factor(F) is used in this paper. We make use of a MUD efficiency($\beta$) to analyze the performance; this efficiency is presented the MAI of reduction. A simulation utilizes Hata's model, we calculated the coverage according to voice and data services. In this paper, we have assumed that the frequency of carrier has 800 MHz or 1.9 GHz, and a bandwidth is decided 3.84 MHz. We have predicted the performance of actual system by the analysis of capacity and coverage.

Recently, we are simultaneously exposed by various electromagnetic sources due to an increase of mobile communication services. However, EMF(Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Field) study has been performed mainly about only single frequency. The objective of this paper is to develop an multiple-frequency exposure system for in vitro experiment. The exposure unit for in vitro experiments was designed by radial transmission line type to get broadband characteristics to generate signals of CDMA at 836.5 MHz and WCDMA at 1950 MHz frequency simultaneously. The modulated signals were delivered to the conical antenna through amplifier, digital attenuator and RF combiner. SAR values were obtained by the averaged values of 3 measured values at 9 points in petri dish using the fiber optic temperature probe. The measured return loss was under -15 dB. For 1 W input power, the mean value and standard deviation of SAR were $0.105{\pm}0.019$ for the CDMA frequency and $0.262{\pm}0.055$ for the WCDMA frequency.

Next generation wireless communication systems require RF transceivers that enable multiband/multimode operations. Polar transmitters are known as good candidates for high data rate systems such as EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), and WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) because they can obtain high efficiency by using efficient switched-mode RF power amplifiers. In this paper, we investigate the performance of a simple peak windowing scheme for the OFDM (Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing) polar transmitter, which requires no change of a receiver structure or no additional information transmission. The approach we employed is to apply the peak windowing scheme to the amplitude modulated signals of the polar transmitter to reduce the PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). The BER (Bit Error Rate) and EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) performances are measured for various window types and lengths. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm mitigates out-of-band distortion introduced by clipping along with PAPR reduction.

This paper presents a new satellite radio interface, satellite code division multiple access (SAT-CDMA), for the satellite component of IMT-2000. The SAT-CDMA was proposed by Korea and was based on wideband CDMA (WCDMA) for a high degree of commonality with the terrestrial component of IMT-2000. Because a satellite link has a longer round trip delay and a higher Doppler shift than a terrestrial link, we developed new technologies that would make the satellite component especially efficient. We present the main features of the SAT-CDMA radio interface by focusing on satellite-specific schemes. We also demonstrate with extensive comparison results the performance of the main technologies in the SAT-CDMA radio interface.

With rapid increasing usage of smart phones, social concerns have arisen about the possible effects of electromagnetic fields emitted from wideband code division multiple access(WCDMA) mobile phones on human health. The number of people with self-reported electromagnetic hypersensitivity(EHS) who complain of various subjective symptoms such as headache, insomnia etc. has also recently increased. However, it is unclear whether EHS results from physiological or other origins. In this double-blinded study, we investigated physiological changes such as heart rate, respiration rate, and heart rate variability with real and sham exposures for 15 EHS and 17 non-EHS persons using a module inside a dummy phone. Experiment was conducted using a WCDMA module with average power of 24 dBm at 1950 MHz with the specific absorption rate of 1.57 W/kg using a headphone for 32 min. As a conclusion, WCDMA RF exposure did not have any effects on the physiological variables in either group.
