협대역 다중접속 방식의 한계를 벗어난 Ultra-wide band(UWB) 기술이 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 많이 개발되어지고 있다. UWB 시스템은 방사전력 제한을 두고 있어서 근거리 실내 무선통신 분야에서 활용 범위가 확대되고 있다. 하지만 실내 무선 환경에서는 벽, 천장, 바닥 그리고 실내에 위치한 장애물 등에 의한 다중경로 페이딩 영향으로 초고속 실내 무선통신 서비스를 제공하는데 어려움이 있다. 이러한 실내 다중경로 성분에 의한 페이딩을 경감시키는 여러 가지 방법 중에서 원형편파를 이용하면, 상대적으로 긴 지연을 갖는 강한 다중경로 성분을 효과적으로 제거할 수가 있기 때문에 수신신호의 RMS 지연 감소, 페이딩 경감 및 신호강도 개선효과 등을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원형편파를 고려한 수정된 UWB 채널의 파라미터를 수정 정립하였고, 수정된 채널모델을 UWB 시스템에 적용하여 성능 개선을 시도하였다.

The previous works for WLAN system based on OFDM is mainly individual study for independent frequency offset or symbol synchronization. In this paper, the performance of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) system in the realistic indoor multipath channel models is analyzed with frequency offset compensation and channel estimation methods. For the performance analysis of the WLAN system indoor Rayleigh multipath channels are adopted, and the BER(Bit Error Rate) of WLAN system is calculated with y2 code-rate 16-QAM based on standard specification. From the simulation results, the difference of required Eb/No for BER of 10-3 is 1-2dB between the channel estimation and frequency offset compensation, and perfect channel estimation and no frequency offset.

In proportion as the growth of the wireless sensor network applications, we need for more accuracy wireless channel information. In the case of indoor or outdoor wireless sensor networks, multipath propagation causes severe problems in terms of fading. Therefore, a path-loss model for multipath environment is required to optimize communication systems. This paper deals with log-normal path loss modeling of the indoor 2.4 GHz channel. We measured variation of the received signal strength between the sender and receiver of which separation was increased from 1 to 30m. The path-loss exponent and the standard deviation of wireless channel were determined by fitting of the measured data. By using the PRR(Packet Reception Rate) of this model. Wireless sensor channel is defined CR(Connect Region), DR(Disconnected Region). In order to verify the characteristics of wireless channel, we performed simulations and experiments. We demonstrated that connection ranges are 24m in indoor, and 14m in outdoor.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of BPM (Bi-Phase Modulation) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) multiple access system using PN (Pseudo Noise) code based time hopping sequence in indoor wireless channels. In particular, we compare BPM UWB multiple access system with PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) UWB multiple access system in terms of signalling and demodulation schemes. Moreover, we analytically evaluate the performance of these UWB systems by deriving the bit error rate expressions under the assumption that pulse energy and data transmission rate are identical for both systems. Simulation results in additive white Gaussian noise and realistic indoor multipath wireless channels show that the performance of BPM scheme is approximately 1 dB better than that of PPM scheme. However, the performance discrepancy becomes negligible as the number of users increases.

In this paper, the channel capacity of a specified wireless indoor multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) channel is estimated by analyzing spatial characteristics of this channel using the three-dimensional ray tracing method, and a technique for deriving an optimized separation of multi-antenna elements is proposed. At first, the ray paths, the path losses, and the time-delay profile are computed using the three-dimensional ray tracing method in an indoor corridor environment, which has the line of sight(LOS) and non-line of sight(NLOS) regions. The ray tracing method is verified by a comparison between the computation results and the measurements which are obtained with dipole antennas, an amplifier and a network analyzer. Then, an MIMO system is positioned in the indoor channel environment and the ray paths and path losses are computed for four antenna-position combinations and various values of the antenna separation to obtain the channel capacity for the MIMO system. An optimum antenna-separation is derived by averaging the channel capacities of 100 receiver positions with four different antenna combinations.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate the performance of RAKE receiver for ultra wide band (UWB) systems in indoor multipath radio channel. Pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) signal is considered. And we also consider three types of RAKE receivers, which are ideal RAKE, selective RAKE, and partial RAKE receivers. The indoor channel is modeled as the modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model which has been proposed as a UWB channel model by the IEEE group, IEEE 802.15.SG3a.

In this paper, we propose a new symbol offset estimation technique for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based wireless LAN. When both inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-channel interference (ICI) do not exist in an OFDM symbol, symbol offsets cause circular shifts in the estimated channel impulse response (CIR) by the amount of symbol offset. Also, the power delay profile of a typical multipath wireless channel can be modeled by exponentially decaying function, and most energy of multipath channel is concentrated at the beginning part of the CIR. Based on these properties, the proposed symbol offset estimation technique estimates the CIR, which is circularly shifted by the amount of symbol offset, and then calculates the partial mean power from the estimated impulse response by using a moving window with a finite length. And, symbol offset can be estimated from the index of a moving window having the maximal partial mean power. The proposed technique can reduce noise effect in the process of the CIR estimation, and remove ISI and ICI using repetitive training symbol structure in time-domain for minimum training overhead. The performances of the proposed symbol offset estimation technique in typical indoor channels are demonstrated by computer simulation.

In this paper, we implemented a ray-tracing simulator with a ray-launching technique and generated the propagation path of each ray in a multiple-wall indoor environment. In this simulator, we adopted two dimension ray-tracing techniques considering the reflection and penetration were dominant propagation factor in the indoor channel. From the result, we verified that this ray-tracing simulator shows the similar path pattern and delay distribution with the experiment results of the previous research. Especially, impulse responses of the ray were corresponding to reference result in non-line of sight of multiple-wall indoor environment. Furthermore, we confirmed that channel profiles having respectively different departure angle 1 degree to 7 degree were similar between them.

In this paper, we proposed TH UWB-IR medical image transmission system using the IEEE an. 802.15.4a specification in WPAN environment. Also, we analyzed reception performance of wireless medical image transmission system in indoor multi-path fading environment using ITU-R M.1225 channel model. As a results, the proposed scheme can solve the problem of interference from the medical equipment in same frequency band, and minimize the loss due to the indoor multi-path fading environment. Therefore, the transmission with low power usage is possible.
