Frequency reuse in a cellular wireless communication environment gives rise to a phenomenon of cochannel interference. This paper introduces a power control strategy for OFDM based communication systems operating in such an environment. Among the existing power control schemes, IWF(iterative waterfilling) is known to exhibit relatively good performance. However, it requires feedback of power level and bit allocation information for each subcarrier from a receiver to its associated transmitter, which can lead to a considerable overhead, especially for the case of employing large number of subcarriers. Motivated by this, we present a simplified power control scheme with reduced overhead feedback, which allocates some nonzero identical power to the subcarriers of which channel conditions are above a certain threshold and zero power to the other ones. Computer simulations show that the proposed strategy produces a good approximation to the performance of the IWF in terms of the transmission power level while it requires less overhead feedback.

This paper presents a power control scheme for OFDM based wireless communication systems in a multicell environment with co-channel interference which enables each system to achieve its target level of transmission bit rate. Generally, the optimal or near optimal power control scheme for multicarrier systems is Down to control the power level of each subcarrier in accordance with the associated channel status, which may be found in WF(waterfilling) and WF(iterative waterfilling) schemes. However, this requires the channel state information associated with every subchannel to be fed back from the receiver to its transmitter for successful power control. If the wireless channel exhibits relatively fast fading or the number of subcarriers is large, this may result in a considerable overhead. Here, in order to alleviate this problem, we propose a power control strategy for an OFDM systems maintaining the same power level over all the subcarriers. Also we prove its convergence, compare its complexity with that of the existing IWF algorithm, and examine its convergence characteristic through computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose the transmission scheme for the space-time block coded spatial multiplexing systems that have adaptive rate and power allocation per each transmit antenna through the use of feedback information related to channel state. Simulation results show that the adaptive power and rate transmission scheme gain more than 4.5 dB over conventional equal-power and rate transmission scheme.

Korea Railroad Research Institute has developed the driverless rubber-tired K-AGT (Korean-Automated Guideway Transit) system from 1999 to 2005 and has done its performance and reliability tests on the test line at Gyeongsan-city. Radio Frequency Communication-Based Train Control system of K-AGT, which employed Advanced Automated Train Control scheme, detects train position using the radio propagation delay between wayside and vehicle radio equipment. In this paper, we investigate whether the transmission power of radio system can be reduced to the permitted level announced by the Ministry of Information and Communication for license-free ISM(Industrial Scientific Medical) frequency bands. We first determine radio propagation model, using the measured data at test line, and perform simulation for radio coverage prediction. From the simulation results, we identify that the radio system operated with reduced power can provide good link quality in total test line.

In this paper, we propose a distributed user scheduling with transmit power control based on the amount of generating interference to other base stations (BSs) in multi-cell multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networks. Assuming that the time-division duplexing (TDD) system is used, the interference channel from users to other cell BSs is obtained at each user. In the proposed scheduling, each user first generates a transmit beamforming vector by using singular value decompositon (SVD) over MIMO channels and reduces the transmit power if its generating interference to other BSs is larger than a predetermined threshold. Each BS selects the user with the largest effective channel gains among users, which reflects the adjusted power of users. Simulation results show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms the existing user scheduling algorithms.

Visible light communication (VLC) offers communication function in addition to illumination. Because the signal communication capacity per cable is 1,000 times compared to the power line communication (PLC), optical fiber is being advertised as the basis of the information and communication. Also dimming control of LED is an important component needed to provide energy savings and quality of life. This study configured multi-hop VLC system model in a building using optical fiber and analyzed the power performance of two of modulations using dimming techniques. The transmission power and received power were used to compare the power performance in multi-hop VLC environments.

In this paper, we proposed a new burst-mode optical transmitter structure which is suitable for high data rate operation such as Gb/s operation. With this structure we made a 1.25Gb/s burst-mode optical transmitter including a digitally controlled APC circuit for EPON systems using commercial 0.8m BiCMOS technology. It well functioned at 1.25Gb/s and showed good eye patterns with 53.3ps jitter, 191ps rise time and 258ps fall time. To characterize the APC function we measured optical output power as increasing external voltage VREF. The optical power is linearlyproportional to VREF at the rate of 0.293mW/V.

기존의 수위 제어기는 단 방향 무선 통신을 이용함으로써 오류가 발생한 정보의 수신 시에 정정 능력이 없었다. 그리고 대부분의 관정이 산간 오지에 설치됨으로써 태양전지와 보조 배터리를 전원으로 사용하기 때문에 소모 전력의 절감이 큰 과제였다 또한 송신기와 수신기의 채널 변경 시에는 전문가의 도움을 받아야만 가능하였다. 본 연구에서는 수위 제어기에 마이크로 컨트롤러를 채용하고 양방향 통신 방식을 이용함으로써 잘못 수신된 정보를 정정할 수 있도록 하고, 전력 소모가 많은 송신기의 전원을 관리하며, 일반 사용자도 DIP 스위치를 이용하여 채널을 변경할 수 있는 수위제어 시스템을 구현하고자 하였다.

일반적인 무선 전력 전송에서는 송신부와 수신부의 무선통신을 통하여 전력전달을 제어하나, TV와 같이 배터리가 없어 수신부의 통신모듈의 동작 대기가 어려운 전자 제품에는 적용하기 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 송신부와 수신부의 공진기를 LLC 트랜스포머 기반으로 설계하여 송/수신부간의 무선통신이 없는 근접 무선전력 전송 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템에서는, 공진 주파수 근처의 설계된 주파수로 동작을 시켜, 수신기의 최소한의 저전압 보호 회로만으로도 약속된 기기간에 전력을 안정적으로 전달 할 수 있다.
