직교부호 도약 다중화기술(Orthogonal Code Hopping Multiplexing)은 CDMA기반 이동통신시스템에서 가용한 직교부호의 수보다 많은 수의 사용자를 수용하기 위해 제안된 통계적다중화기반 하향링크 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 최근 다양한 이동통신시스템에 제안되고 있는 다중안테나 기술인 MIMO기술을 사용하여 기존의 직교부호 도약 다중화기술의 성능을 향상시키는 기술을 제안한다. 각 변조된 심벌은 N번 반복되고 반복된 기 심볼은 N개의 송신 안테나로 동시에 전송된다. 반복을 통하여 기존 직교부호 도약 다중화 기술에서 제기되었던 천공(Perforation)의 영향은 반복된 심볼로 분산된다. 반복된 모든 심볼이 모두 천공될 확률은 급격히 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 다중안테나를 이용하여 기존의 직교부호 도약 다중화기술이 가지고 있던 단점이 보상될 수 있음을 보인다. An orthogonal code hopping multiplexing (OCHM) technique has been proposed for accommodating a large number of users with low channel activities than the number of orthogonal codewords through statistical multiplexing in downlink cellular systems. In this paper, a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna based OCHM system is proposed to improve the performance. Each modulated symbol is repeated N times and the N repeated symbols are transmitted simultaneously using N transmit antennas. Through repetitions, the effect of perforations that the OCHM system experiences is decentralized among the repeated symbols and the full perforation probability is significantly reduced. Each receiver detect the transmitted signal using its pre-assigned code hopping pattern. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme saves the required energy for a given frame error rate (FER).

차세대 이동통신 망을 위한 다중안테나 기반의 주파수 효율적 데이터 중계 방식

본 논문에서는 기지국과 중계기와 사용자 단말로 구성되는 셀룰라 망에서 기지국의 다중 안테나를 이용하여 중계기에서 생기는 주파수 비효율성을 극복하는 데이터 중계 방식을 제안한다. 셀룰라 망에서 기지국은 단말이나 중계기에 비하여 많은 수의 안테나를 가지고 있다. 따라서 중계기가 기지국으로부터 수신한 데이터를 단말에게 전송할 때, 동일한 주파수 자원을 이용하여 기지국이 또 다른 단말에게 데이터를 보내게 함으로써 주파수 효율을 증대시킬 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 과정에서 중계기로부터 데이터를 전송받는 단말이 또 다른 단말에게 데이터를 전송하는 기지국의 신호에 의하여 간섭을 받게 되는데, 본 논문에서는 이러한 간섭을 줄이는 방식으로서 ing 방식과 pre-whitening 방식의 pre-coding 방식을 제안한다. We propose a spectrally efficient relaying scheme with multiple antennas for cellular networks which consist of base station (BS), relay station (RSs), and mobile stations (MSs). In general, a BS has more antennas than an RS or an MS. By using multiple antennas, a BS can support another MS with the same frequency resource, where an RS transmits data to a specific MS. In this case, the MS receiving data form an RS also receives the interference form the BS because the BS also uses the same frequency resource at the same time. In this paper, we propose ing and pre-whitening techniques as a pre-coding scheme at the BS for reducing the interference at the MS receiving data from the RS.

본 논문에서는 셀 경계지역 사용자의 스펙트럼 효율성 향상을 위하여 3GPP LTE-A (Long-Term Evolution-Advanced) 시스템에서 논의되는 셀 간 협력 전송기법 중 하나인 CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Point) 시스템을 소개하고, 성능 검증을 위해 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이터를 개발한다. 셀 간 협력 전송 시 시스템의 성능 개선 정도를 확인하기 위하여 기존 이동통신 시스템 중 가장 높은 성능을 보이는 3GPP LTE-A 시스템을 참조 시스템으로 선정하여 성능 비교를 수행한다. CoMP 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션은 널리 사용되고 있는 OPNET을 기반으로 하는데, 셀 간 협력 전송 시스템 설계를 바탕으로 CU (Central Unit), CeNB (CoMP eNodeB), UE (User Equipment), MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) 채널 모델 등의 모듈을 구현한다. WINNER 무선 채널 모델 및 ITU (International Telecommunication Union) 네트워크 모델 환경을 통하여 하위 5%의 스펙트럼 효율성을 가지는 셀 가장자리 사용자의 성능을 검증할 때, 3GPP LTE-A 참조 시스템 대비 제안한 CoMP 시스템의 용량이 약 2.5배 정도 증가하였음을 보인다. In this paper, so as to improve spectral efficiency for cell-boundary users, we introduce a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) system, which is one of inter-cell cooperative transmission strategies studied in 3GPP long-term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) systems, and develop a system-level simulator to evaluate performance. To identify performance improvement of the system with inter-cell cooperative transmission, we select a 3GPP LTE system as a reference, which shows the highest performance among the existing mobile communication systems, and conduct a performance comparison. System-level simulation is performed based on widely-used OPNET tool. We implement modules including central unit (CU), CoMP eNodeB (CeNB), user equipment (UE), and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model, while designing the inter-cell cooperative transmission system. Under WINNER wireless channel model and international telecommunication union (ITU) network model environments, we then evaluate the performance of edge users who belong to the lower 5% in terms of spectral efficiency. It is finally shown that throughput of the proposed CoMP system gets improved up to 2.5 times compared to that of the 3GPP LTE reference system.

본 논문에서는 CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 기반 통신 시스템에서의 가용한 직교 부호의 수보다 많은 수의 사용자 수용을 위해 제안된 하향링크 통계적 다중화 기법인 기존 OCHM (Orthogonal Code Hopping Multiplexing) 기술에 다중 안테나를 사용함으로써 성능이 향상될 수 있음을 보인다. 먼저 직교 부호 할당 방식에 따른 두 가지 다른 OCHM 시스템을 소개하고, 이를 LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio) 값 계산법에 적용 시 나타내어지는 수식 표현을 유도한다. 다음으로, 유도된 LLR 값에 기반을 두어 터보 부호기를 사용할 때, 언급한 OCHM 시스템의 FER (Frame Error Rate) 성능을 검증한다. 또한 비교를 위해 기존 3GPP 표준에서 사용되는 다중 안테나 심벌 매핑 방식의 성능도 분석한다. 결과적으로, 제안된 직교 부호 할당 방식을 적용한 다중 안테나 기반 OCHM 시스템이 기존 시스템 대비 목표 FER을 만족하는데 있어서 에너지 감소 측면에서 상당한 이득이 있음을 확인한다. In this paper, we show that performance can be improved by using multiple antennas in the conventional orthogonal code hopping multiplexing (OCHM) scheme, which was proposed for accommodating a larger number of users with low channel activities than the number of orthogonal codewords used in code division multiple access (CDMA)-based communication systems through downlink statistical multiplexing. First, we introduce two different types of OCHM systems together with orthogonal codeword allocation strategies, and then derive their mathematical expression for log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values according to the two different schemes. Next, when a turbo encoder based on the LLR computation is used, we evaluate performance on the frame error rate (FER) for the aformentioned OCHM system. For comparison, we also show performance for the existing symbol mapping method using multiple antennas, which was used in 3GPP standards. As a result, it is shown that our OCHM system with multiple antennas based on the proposed orthogonal codeword allocation strategy leads to performance gain over the conventional system---energy required to satisfy a target FER is significantly reduced.

Globally, the emergence of smart phones vitalized the ecosystem of mobile data service industry. Consequentially, mobile data traffic has been explosively growing and the speed of growth will be more steep. New spectrum will be required in order to properly accommodate the explosively growing mobile data traffic. However, it will be difficult to acquire a sufficient guard band between different frequency bands because the range of frequency which is suitable for wireless communications is limited. Thus, the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference will be one of challenging problems in the next generation mobile communication systems. In this paper, we analyze the performance degradation caused by inter-band interference by computer simulations in various environments. Our results show that the impact of the inter-band interference is more critical when own signal is poor or its own interference from neighboring cells is low.

Recently, many researches have been conducted on the aviation industry to replace the wire harness cable between the avionics of the aircraft with the wireless network. In this paper, we present an Event-Based Simulator for Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications (ES-WAIC) that can verify core technologies of wireless networks and efficiently integrate different layers of the network. ES-WAIC is developed to enhance the readability between the real time control application developers of the higher layer and the network layer developers. Specifically, the practical implement relies on an event-based programming concept to increase portability and compatibility that can be applied to the realistic low-power wireless embedded networks. ES-WAIC implements the overall system layers including the wireless channel modeling of the 4.4GHz band, the physical layer, the medium access control, the network, and the application layer of wireless avionics intra-communications.

This paper investigated the channel link budget for Wireless Avionics Intra-Communication (WAIC) in 4.4GHz. The band 4.2~4.2GHz was allocated for the communication service among aeronautical applications in world radiocommunication conference (WRC). Wireless channels in aircraft was modelled by the combination of path loss, shadowing effect caused by obstacles, and fading caused by multipath signals. In addition, wireless channels in aircraft are categorized into 6 groups according to various locations of transmitter and receiver. We analyzed the channel link budget for the 6 channel groups in terms of maximum transmission distance and outage probability. Our analysis and intensive computer simulation results show that the propagation characteristics of group A, B, and F is superior to group C, D, E, and the propagation of group E is the most vulnerable. Also, these results can be utilized as basic reference for the channel analysis of intra-aircraft or similar environment.

In cognitive radio technology, the overall capacity of communications systems can be improved without allocating additional bands by allowing secondary system to utilize the band when a primary system who has right to use the band does not utilize it. Therefore, spectrum sensing to determine the existence of primary system is utmost important in the cognitive radio technology. In this work, we consider a novel cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive cellular systems. Especially, we consider the case in which heterogeneous primary systems coexist, i.e., heterogenous transmission power and sensing requirement of primary system, such that only portion of users in cognitive cellular systems are able to detect the primary system. In this case, we propose new cooperative spectrum sensing with multiple sensing stages to properly detect the existence of primary systems in this kind of situations. Moreover, we analyze the performance of conventional cooperative spectrum sensing schemes such as OR-rule, AND-rule and MAJORITY-rule under the existence of heterogeneous primary systems. Finally, we investigate the performance of the proposed scheme through computer based simulations and show that the existence of primary systems can be determined accurately by using our proposed scheme.
