Underwater acoustic communication has multi path error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes signal distortion and error floor. In this paper, we consider the use of various channel coding schemes such as RS code, convolutional code, cross-layer code and LDPC code in order to compensate the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error, so interleaver has little effect for error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath error, it is necessary strong channel codes like LDPC code that is similar to Shannon's limit. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS codes has better performance than using singular channel codes.

무선 다중경로 채널에서 데이터를 고속으로 전송할 경우, 신호는 페이딩, ISI(inter-symbol interfrence) 등의 영향으로 높은 에러율을 가지게 된다. 현재의 DSRC 시스템은 1Mbps 이상의 데이터 서비스가 어려울 것으로 예상되므로 개선된 변복조방식이 요구된다. OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식은 보호기간의 삽입을 통하여 ISI를 방지할 수 있으므로 고속 데이터 전송에 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 12 Mbps 전송 속도를 갖는 OFDM/QPSK 통신 시스템의 BER 성능을 비교${\cdot}$분석하고 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 채널 상태를 추정 보상하기 위하여 판정 궤환경 등화기(Decision Feedback Equalizer)를 적용하여 시스템 성능을 개선하였다.

In case of wireless sensor networks being applied to a target environment having continuous data transfer, high-speed data transmission and processing is necessary to meet increased bandwidth needs. This paper proposes a novel multipath routing algorithm to increase the bandwidth of continuous data stream for the wireless sensor network using dual channel routers. We evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm in the wireless sensor network using the dual channel touter based on ZigBee protocol. According to the experimental evaluation, the proposed algorithm showed outstanding performance enhancement with the bandwidth of 150kbps, which is about twice of existing single channel router.

DS-CDMA (direct sequence-code division multiple access) 시스템에서 여러 사용자가 동일 주파수 대역을 공유함으로써 다중 접속 간섭 (multiple access interference; MAI)이 발생하고 시스템의 성능을 크게 제한한다. 이러한 다중 접속 간섭을 제거하여 전송 신호의 질을 높이고 용량을 증대시키는 중요한 신호 처리 기술 가운데 하나가 적응 간섭 억제 기술이다. 적응 간섭 억제 기술 가운데 CMA (constant modulus algorithm) 기반의 블라인드 적응 간섭 억제기는 훈련수열을 필요로 하지 않고 빠른 수렴을 통하여 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으나, 다중 경로 환경에서 심벌간 간섭 (intersymbol interference; ISI)이 증대되어 기존의 적응 수신기보다 악화된 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 CMA를 기반으로 훈련 수열 없이 빠른 수렴을 하며 MAI와 ISI를 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 다이버시티 결합기 구조의 적응 간섭 억제기를 제한한다. 다중 경로 페이딩 채널 환경에서 기존의 블라인드 적응간섭 억제기와의 성능 비교 결과, 제안된 방식이 다중경로에 의한 ISI의 영향을 효과적으로 제거하여 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, performance evaluation of mobile access layer for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) MultiCarrier(MC)/CDMA 16 QAM system is considered to mitigate multiple access interference and enhance system channel capacity in Rayleigh wireless fading channel. Traditionally, multi-path is viewed as an undesirable feature of wireless communications. Therefore, diversity and adaptive array schemes are proposed to mitigate its effects. Recently, to increase the spectrum efficiency and the link reliability, MIMO schemes is devised to exploit multi-path in a scattering wireless channel. In particular, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA 16 QAM system is evaluated according to Eb/No, Mc, p. From the results, in order to improve the channel capacity, the signals at various elements must be uncorrelated. And if the paths are correlated due to inappropriate spacing or mutual coupling effects, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA 16 QAM system becomes substantially smaller.

In this paper, the performance of the selective combining according to the channel selection decision method of frequency diversity is evaluated in the underwater frequency selective channel. The underwater acoustic channel in the shallow sea has a complex multipath characteristic by combining various environmental factors such as boundary surface reflection and sound wave refraction according to the water temperature layer. In particular, frequency selectivity due to multipath causes energy fluctuation in a communication channel, which reduces SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) and deteriorates communication performance. In this paper, we applied the frequency diversity technique using multiple channels to secure the communication performance according to the frequency selectivity by multipath. For each channel, 4-FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and selective combining were applied, the performance was evaluated by applying the maximum value, average value, and majority decision of the signal in order to decide the demodulation channel selection of the selective combining.

In this paper, performance of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) which is OFDM with a forward error correction code, is studied in frequency selective fading underwater acoustic communication channel. The OFDM is a multiplexing technique resistant to frequency selective multipath channel. In OFDM, a broadband information signal is transformed into several narrow band signals and transmits narrow band signals whose bandwidths are less than the channel coherence bandwidth. However, its performance is degraded in a specific narrow band signal due to its deep fading by multipath. To mitigate this degradation, COFDM which is OFDM with convolution code as a forward error correction code, is evaluated. The performance of COFDM is found to be better than that of OFDM in multipath channel.

The monitoring system in railway is under study to forecast any derailment and accident by defect of train. Because the monitoring system is composed of wireless sensor network based on ZigBee-communication between inside and outside of train, the study for wireless channel analysis is required. Especially, if multipath delay profile exist in the channel, the equalizer and channel estimator can be required for preventing receiver performance degradation. Therefore, we analyzed the wireless channel in train environment using measured data and, proposed the channel estimation method through the characterisitic of chip code, under the consideration of the channel characteristics in train. To show the performance of proposed method, we demonstrate the performance by mean square error(MSE), computational complexity and bit error rate(BER).

In this paper, the robust hybrid modulation type classifier which use both HOS and WT key features and can recognize 10 digitally modulated signals without a priori information in multipath fading channel conditions is proposed. The proposed classifier developed using data taken field measurements in various propagation model (i,e., rural area, small town and urban area) for real world scenarios. The 9 channel data are used for supervised training and the 6 channel data are used for testing among total 15 channel data(i.e., holdout-like method). The Proposed classifier is based on HOS key features because they are relatively robust to signal distortion in AWGN and multipath environments, and combined WT key features for classifying MQAM(M=16, 64, 256) signals which are difficult to classify without equalization scheme such as AMA(Alphabet Matched Algorithm) or MMA(Multi-modulus Algorithm. To investigate the performance of proposed classifier, these selected key features are applied in SVM(Support Vector Machine) which is known to having good capability of classifying because of mapping input space to hyperspace for margin maximization. The Pcc(Probability of correct classification) of the proposed classifier shows higher than those of classifiers using only HOS or WT key features in both training channels and testing channels. Especially, the Pccs of MQAM 3re almost perfect in various SNR levels.

MIMO(multi-input multi output) 기법은 여러 개의 안테나를 이용하여 채널의 다이버시티를 증가시켜 주파수 대역폭의 확장 없이 채널 용량을 증가시키는 기법이다. 그러나 MIMO 기법은 수신단의 복잡도가 높으며, 심볼간의 간섭 및 다중 경로 채널에 취약하다. 이런 MIMO 기법의 단점을 상호 보완 부호를 적용하여 극복함으로써 수신 SNR 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 상호 보완 부호를 MIMO 기법에 적용하면, 수신단에서 상관관계를 이용하여 심볼 간의 간섭을 완벽하게 제거할 수 있으며 다중 경로 채널에서도 강인한 장점이 있다. 제안된 알고리듬은 각각 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 검증하였다.
