In this paper, it is shown that the performance of the frequency-domain multi-reference narrowband noise canceller is determined by the narrowband component to the broadband disturbance power ratio in the reference signals. To overcome this problem, a new narrowband ANC is proposed, where the update of the adaptive filter is determined based on SNR of the reference inputs being measured using the magnitude squared coherence (MSC) between the primary and the reference signals. Simulation results show that the proposed ANC has superior performance over the conventional one.

In this paper, we analyzed performance of signal detection for terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) system in various channel environments that applied gaussian, Rayleigh and COST 207 environments that estimate response of real channel state. In order to detect the signal, a signal detection scheme based on energy detection is employed. We generated T-DMB signals so that estimate properly simulation result. For evaluating the signal detection performance, detection probability is derived. We consider two kinds of detection segment, which are three segments and five segments. And we compare the system performances in accordance with the detection segment. From simulation results, it is confirmed that the performance of signal detection is raised as increase the number of segments. The result of this paper can be applied to implement signal detection of broadcasting system.

In this paper, we analyzed performance of FFT based on pilot sensing scheme for DTV signal in fading environments. In order to detect the present and absent for advanced television system committee digital television (ATSC DTV), a pilot detection scheme based on FFT is employed. Also, these signals are applied to each fading environment. For evaluating the spectrum sensing performance, detection probability is derived. When threshold is decided, we refer to constant false alarm rate (CFAR) scheme. From simulation results, it is confirmed that the spectrum sensing performance is improved as increase of the false alarm rate. The result of this paper can be applied to implement the spectrum sensing part of cognitive radio (CR) systems.

UWB impulse radio signals have an very short duration, extremely wide bandwidth and share the same frequency spectrum with other existing systems. It was determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that UWB systems could cause interference with other systems, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) for example. Therefore, at present. the FCC has restricted the use of UWB systems to frequencies above 3.1㎓. In this paper, We evaluated performance of UWB system using proposed pulses in ［1］［2］ that are strictly limited in time to remove interference while, at the same time, contain their power distribution to a frequency band from 3.1㎓ to 10.6㎓. In particular, We evaluated the BER Performance in relation to system parameters such as pulse duration. $\delta$, the number of users. Nu. and the number of symbols, M. We found the optimal pulse duration $\delta$ through computer simulation using developed UWB pulses in ［1］［2］. It is shown that performance evaluation between the UWB communication system using these UWB pulses ［1］［2］and the Gaussian monocycle pulse in M-ary PPM and BPSK schemes. These results can be contributed to construct M-ary PPM UWB communication system in terms of multiuser parameters and pulse duration.

An active antenna(AA) can have wider bandwidth and more gain with small antenna size than those of passive antennas. However, AA inherently generates thermal noise and spurious signals from an active device. Moreover, the spurious performance of AA is very important in a highly sensitive receiving system since it is located at the front end of the receiving system. In this study, we developed an AA with $100{\sim}500\;MHz$, having the output P1dB higher than 3 dBm and little spurious signals in real environments. To achieve such performance, we designed an AA with 3-stage amplifier using CD(common drain) FET and 2 BJTs. Its electrical performances were simulated using ADS. The measurement results for typical gain, NF, OIP3, VSWR and P1dB in the required frequency band were 9.7 dBi, 10 dB, 14 dBm, 1.7:1 and 3 dBm respectively. They are in good agreement with simulation results. The unwanted spectrum level of the proposed AA is $10{\sim}30\;dB$ lower than that of the antenna with CS(common source) FET configuration at a west suburban area of Seoul, which shows that the proposed AA can be applicable to a highly sensitive receiving system for detecting unknown weak signals mixed with broadcasting and civilian communication signals.

In this paper, we deal with multi-user diversity scheduling methods that transmit simultaneously signals from multiple users using superposition coding multiplexing. These methods can make various scheduling methods be obtained, according to strategies for user selection priority from the first user to the first-following users, strategies for per-user power allocation, and resulting combining strategies. For the first user selection, we consider three strategies such as 1) higher priority for a user with a better channel state, 2) following the proportional fair scheduling (PFS) priority, 3) higher priority for a user with a lower average serving rate. For selection of the first-following users, we consider the identical strategies for the first user selection. However, in the second strategy, we can decide user priorities according to the original PFS ordering, or only once an additional user for power allocation according to the PFS criterion by considering a residual power and inter-user interference. In the strategies for power allocation, we consider two strategies as follows. In the first strategy, it allocates a power to provide a permissible per-user maximum rate. In the second strategy, it allocates a power to provide a required per-user minimum rate, and then it reallocates the residual power to respective users with a rate greater than the required minimum and less than the permissible maximum. We consider three directions for scheduling such as maximizing the sum rate, maximizing the fairness, and maximizing the sum rate while maintaining the PFS fairness. We select the max CIR, max-min fair, and PF scheduling methods as their corresponding reference methods [1 and references therein], and then we choose candidate scheduling methods which performances are similar to or better than those of the corresponding reference methods in terms of the sum rate or the fairness while being better than their corresponding performances in terms of the alternative metric (fairness or sum rate). Through computer simulations, we evaluate the sum rate and Jain’s fairness index (JFI) performances of various scheduling methods according to the number of users.

In this paper we analyze the packet interference probability and the aggregated throughput of a WPAN in which a number of Bluetooth piconets share the ISM band with WLANS. Using an Adaptive Frequency Hopping algorithm, when the AFH is employed, the number of hops available to the Bluetooth piconets varies depending on the number of independent WLANs within the piconet's radio range. Using a packet collision model in a piconet cluster, we give an analysis of the packet interference probability and the aggregated throughput as a function of the available hops for the AFH algorithm. We also present an analytical model of packet interference with multi-path fading channel in a cluster of piconets. Through analysis, we obtain the packet collision probability and aggregated throughput assuming capture effect. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effect of various Parameters such as capture ratio, Rice factor and cluster size on the system performance.
