In this paper, we study a problem of providing reliable data transmission in wireless sensor network(WSN). A system with forward error correction9FEC) can provide an objective reliability while using less transmission power than a system without FEC. We propose the use of LDPC codes of various code rate (0.53, 0.81, 0.91) of FEC for WSN. Node-node-node interference is considered in the simulation in addition to AWGN in the channel. It is shown that the rate of 0.91 LDPC coded system obtained 7dB gain in signal to noise ratio over a system without FEC.

CBTC(Communication-Based Train Control) system which is based on wireless communication can provide high density operation of the train using location tracking between ground and onboard train. It can also reduces maintenance expense because it does not require the ground equipment for tracking circuit and signal flag and so on. Recently, research and interest have been done on CBTC system. The high-speed trains up to 300km/h experience multi-path fading channel which bring about the performance degradation of wireless CBTC system. In this paper, we consider MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) antenna-based CBTC system for trains with Alamoutip-type space-time diversity transmission for reliable communication. Also we model a channel considering practical environment and evaluate performance improvement of proposed CBTC system.

The real-time monitoring about the activity of the human provides useful information about the activity quantity and ability. The present study implemented a small-size and low-power acceleration monitoring system for convenient monitoring of activity quantity and recognition of emergent situations such as falling during daily life. For the wireless transmission of acceleration sensor signal, we developed a wireless transmission system based on a wireless sensor network. In addition, we developed a program for storing and monitoring wirelessly transmitted signals on PC in real-time. The performance of the implemented system was evaluated by assessing the output characteristic of the system according to the change of posture, and parameters and acontext recognition algorithm were developed in order to monitor activity volume during daily life and to recognize emergent situations such as falling. In particular, recognition error in the sudden change of acceleration was minimized by the application of a falling correction algorithm

A standard paradigm for the allocation of wireless resources in communication demands symmetry, whereby all users are assumed to be on equal footing and hence get equal shares of communication capabilities. However, there are situations in which "prime users" should be given higher priority, as for example in the transmission of emergency messages. In this paper, we examine a prioritization policy that can be implemented at the physical layer. In particular, we evaluate the performance of a prioritized transmission scheme based on spectrum pooling and on the assignment of higher signal-to-noise ratio channels to higher-priority users. This performance is compared to that of unprioritized (or "symmetric") schemes, and the impact of prioritization on the unprioritized users is discussed.

It is said that the desirable bio-signal measurement and stimulation system should be an implantable type if the several problems such as biocompatibility, electrical safety, and so on are overcome. In addition to the biocompatibility issue, a robust RF communication and a stable electrical power source for the implantable bio-signal measurement and stimulation system are very important matters. In this paper, a wireless telemetry system which adopts the FCC's approved MICS (medical implant communication service) protocol and a wireless power transmission has been proposed. The proposed system composed of a base station (BS) and an implantable medical device (IMD) has the advantages that the interference with other RF devices can be reduced by the use of the specially assigned MICS frequency band of 402.MHz to 405 MHz. Also, the proposed system includes various functions of a multi-channel bio-signal acquisition and an electric stimulation. Since the electrical power for the IMD can be provided by the inductive link between PCB patterned coils, the IMD needs no battery so that the IMD can be smaller size and much less dangerous than the active type IMD which includes the internal battery. Finally, the validity as a wireless telemetry system has been demonstrated through the experiments by using the implemented BS and IMD.

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver structure is presented to be used in wireless body area networks (WBANs). In the proposed structure, a data channel and a control channel are combined into a single transmission signal. In the signal, a modulation method mixing pulse position modulation and pulse amplitude modulation is proposed. A mathematical framework calculating the power spectrum density of the proposed pulse-based signal evaluates its coexistence with conventional radio systems. The transceiver structure is discussed, and the receiving performance is investigated in the additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme is easier to match to the UWB emission mask than conventional UWB systems. The proposed scheme achieves the data rate requirement of WBAN; the logical control channel achieves better receiving performance than the logical data channel, which is useful for controlling and maintaining networks. The proposed scheme is also easy to implement.

We introduce a new visible light communication (VLC) method in which three-level return-to-zero (RZ) modulation is used for flicker-free transmission. In the VLC transmitter, the three-level RZ modulation ensures that the average optical power is constant; thus, a flicker-free light-emitting diode (LED) light is achieved. In the VLC receiver, a resistor-capacitor high-pass filter is used for generating spike signals, which are used for data recovery while eliminating the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps. In transmission experiments, we applied this method for wireless transmission of an air quality sensor message using the visible light of an LED array. This configuration is useful for the construction of indoor wireless sensor networks for air pollution monitoring using LED lights.

이동통신망에서 RF 신호를 송수신하는 기지국(base station)과 이동 통신 신호의 교환 전송을 담당하는 중앙국(central station)을 광섬유로 연결하여 구성한 SCM(Subcarrier Multiplexing) 광링크는 RF 신호를 효율적이고 경제적으로 전송하는 시스템으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 링크의 전송 성능이 광전송 링크와 무선링크의 다양한 환경에 의해 크게 제한되므로, 본 논문에서는 이동통신망에서 CDMA RF 신호전송을 위한 SCM 광링크 시스템의 분석적 모델을 제시하고 다양한 링크 환경에서 전송 성능을 분석하였다. 특히, 광전송 링크에서 레이저 다이오드(LD: Laser Diode)에 의해 발생하는 비선형 왜곡과 무선링크에서 다중 가입자에 의해 발생되는 다중접속간섭(MAI: Multiple Access Interference)을 고려하여 최적의 전송 성능 조건을 제시하였다. 제안된 분석적 모델링으로부터 얻은 성능분석을 통해 최적의 시스템 성능은 사용된 코드의 길이나 다중 가입자의 수에 따라 변화하며 광링크 고유의 잡음과 LD 비선형 왜곡에 의한 영향이 최소가 되는 광변조지수(optical modulation index)를 선택함으로써 얻어짐을 알 수 있었다.

TBM 디스크 커터의 마모량을 실시간 계측하기 위해서는 센서를 이용해 계측을 자동화하는 것뿐만 아니라, 계측된 데이터를 후방의 정보처리시스템에 안정적으로 전송하는 것도 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 TBM 커터헤드에 설치된 센서로부터 챔버 후방에 설치된 수신기로 데이터를 무선 전송할 때 저전력 블루투스(Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE) 기술의 활용 가능성을 검토하였다. 실험실 모사 실험을 통해 송신기의 신호강도, 송신기와 수신기 사이의 거리, 챔버 공간에 채워진 물질의 종류에 따라 변화하는 수신기의 신호 수신 강도(Received Signal Strength Index, RSSI)의 특성을 분석하였다. 송신기의 신호강도를 0 dBm 이상으로 설정하면 실험에서 고려한 모든 이격거리 조건과 챔버의 상태 조건에서 데이터를 무선 전송할 수 있었다.
