In this paper, we propose the multi-channel interference cancellation algorithm for visible light communication (VLC) in smart building. The VLC system is communication technology using visible rays that come out in Light Emitting Diode (LED) device. It has energy curtailment effect and possible to use in ubiquitous network service applications. When a large number of users communicate indoors, the performance can be reduced due to channel interference. To remove interference, at the first, the minimum mean square error (MMSE) scheme as interference cancellation methods used, and then the successive interference cancellation (SIC) is applied to obtain additional diversity gain and improve interference cancellation performance. Indoor VLC channel model is employed. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme has better BER performance compared to the previous systems. As a result, the proposed interference cancellation improves the signal quality of VLC systems by effectively removing the channel noise. The results of the paper can be applied to VLC for smart building and general communication systems.

현재 상용화된 CDMA (code division multiple access) 방식은 사용자가 증가함에 따라 다중 사용자 간섭에 의해 통화품질 향상 및 가입자 수용 용량 증대에 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 다양한 형태의 다중 사용자 검파 알고리즘이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 여러 형태의 알고리즘들 가운데, 역상관 (decorrelating) 검파기와 병렬 간섭 제거 (parallel interference cancellation, PIC) 검파기, 연속 간섭 제거 (successive interference cancellation, SIC) 검파기와 PIC 검파기, zero-forcing decision-feedback (ZF-DF) 검파기와 PIC 검파기를 하이브리드 형태로 구성하는 방법을 제시하였고, Rayleigh 페이딩 환경에서 성능분석 및 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 성능 비교를 하였다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 세 가지 하이브리드 검파기 모두 기존 검파기에 비하여 우수한 성능을 보였다.

In this study, we propose an image stitching method for large-area holographic photo lithography. In this method, a hologram medium become a hologram mask for lithography. And the mask has information for stitched images. These images are recorded by signal images which are controlled with DMD (digital micro-mirror device), and serial hologram recording is achieved with a motorized linear stage. Using this method, fringe seams appear on the stitching area. To remove these fringe seams, double exposure holographic lithography is tried. Each stitched image is recorded and reconstructed with a different reference beam. The experiments confirm that fringe seams are removed.

The conventional code division multiple access(CDMA) detector shows severe degradation in communication quality as the number of users increases due to multiple access interferences(MAI). This problem thus restricts the user capacity. Various multiuser detection algorithms have been proposed to overcome the MAI problem. The existing detectors can be generally classified into one of the two categories : linear multiuser detection and subtractive interference cancellation detectors. In the linear multiuser detection, a linear transform is applied to the soft outputs of the conventional detector. In the subtractive interference cancellation detection, estimates of the interference are generated and subtracted out from the received signal. There has been great interest in the family of the subtractive interference cancellation detection because the linear multiuser detection exhibits the disadvantage of taking matrix inversion operations. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) and the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) are the two most popular structures in the subtractive interference cancellation detector. The SIC structure is very simple in hardware complexity, but has the disadvantage of increased processing delay time, while the PIC structure is good in performance, but shows the disadvantage of increased hardware complexity. In this paper we propose a mixed structure form of SIC and PIC in order to achieve good performance as well as simple hardware complexity. A performance analysis of the proposed scheme has been made, and the superior characteristics of the mixed structure are demonstrated by extensive computer simulations.

In the bandpass sampling(BPS), the sampling frequency is lower than the frequency of the RF(radio frequency) signal being sampled. In this method, the baseband spectrum directly appears by the sampling itself, so that it is not necessary to use any down converter, making the receiver's hardware simpler. The second-order BPS uses two identical BPS samplers operating with an offset timing to each other. By a processing with their two sampled signals, it can be possible to cancel the aliasing or interference component if any due to the bandpass sampling. The interpolant filter, which is to manipulate the phase characteristics of the sampled signal, affects the performance of the cancellation. In this paper, a multiband interpolant filter is introduced, with which multiple interference signals from multiple RF bands can be cancelled simultaneously. We suggest several phase characteristics for the interpolant filter and have evaluated their performances through computer simulations. It has been shown that the filter with a continuous phase function gives the better performance.

This paper proposes a successive MAP (maximum a posteriori probability) detection scheme with SoIC(soft interference cancellation) to reduce the receiver complexity of hierarchical M-ary QAM system. For the successive MAP detection, modulation symbols generated from the other data streams are treated as Gaussian noise or eliminated as the soft interference according to their priorities. The log-likelihood ratio of the a posteriori probability (LAPRP) of each bit is calculated by the MAP detector with an adjusted noise variance in order to take the elimination and Gaussian assumption effect into account. By separating the detection process into the successive steps, the detection complexity is reduced to increase linearly with the number of bits per hierarchical M-ary QAM symbol. Simulation results show that the proposed detection provides a small performance degradation as compared to the optimal MAP detection.

This paper proposes an algorithm for transmit antenna selection in a multi-input multi-output(MIMO) spatial multiplexing system with per antenna rate control(PARC) and an ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) receiver. The active antenna subset is determined at the receiver and conveyed to the transmitter using feedback information on transmission rate per antenna. We propose a serial decision procedure consisting of a successive process that tests whether antenna selection gain exists when the antenna with the lowest pre-processing signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) is discarded at each stage. Furthermore, we show that 'reverse detection ordering', whereby the signal with the lowest SINR is decoded at each stage of successive decoding, widens the disparities among fractions of the whole capacity allocated to each individual antenna and thus maximizes a gain of antenna selection. Numerical results show that the proposed reverse detection ordering based serial antenna selection approaches the closed-loop MIMO capacity and that it induces a negligible capacity loss compared with the heuristic selection strategy even with considerably reduced complexity.

A dual-user multiplexing scheme for a pair of mobiles equipped with single antenna is proposed which incorporates time-delay diversity employing a rotation-based D-BLAST-like layered code. A low-dimension equivalent of the existing partial interference cancellation based group decoder is also proposed for the corresponding receiver. The BER performances of the proposed scheme and those of the ideal scheme are studied comparatively through Monte Carlo simulations.

IEEE 802.15.4a에서는 첩(Chirp)신호을 이용한 UWB(Ultra Wide Band) 시스템으로서 DBO(Differential Bi-Orthogonal)-CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum) 기술을 선택적 표준안으로 정하였다. 기존 DBO-CSS에서는 다중 피코넷 간섭(MPI; Multiple Piconets Interference)을 피하기 위하여 각 피코넷 별로 Different Time-Gap을 할당하고 있다 하지만 완벽한 직교성이 존재하지 않는다는 특성을 가지고 있어서 간섭의 영향에 민감할 수 밖에 없고, 무선통신시스템의 성능 저하를 야기시킨다. 본 논문에서는 각 피코넷 별로 보다 완전한 직교성을 확보하기 위하여, 확산코드기법을 적용한 CSS 변복조 알고리즘을 제안하고, 또한 일정한 시간 구간동안 연속적인 직교특성을 가지는 이진 ZCD(Zero Correlation Duration) 코드를 사용하여 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능 분석을 통해 SOP(Simultaneously Operating Piconets) 환경에서 다중 피코넷 간섭 등의 영향을 효과적으로 제거함을 확인하였다.
