This paper proposes an efficient frequency offset estimation algorithm for MB-OFDM based UWB systems. The time-frequency interleaving in MB-OFDM extends the time-interval between two transmitted OFDM symbols in the same sub-band. The extended time-interval causes not only the degradation of the system performance by reducing frequency offset estimation range, but also the increase of the hardware complexity by requiring the larger number of storing samples. The proposed estimation algorithm expands the estimation range by applying the proposed sign detection scheme. Simulation results show that the estimation range is increased above 30 ppm compared with a conventional auto-correlation based scheme. The estimation is performed on only one sub-band, and the frequency offsets of the others are calculated by relation to center frequency. This way reduced the number of the storing samples by about l/3. The frequency offset estimator with the proposed algorithm was designed into the architecture which minimizes hardware overhead by time-sharing operators and memory units, and which was synthesized to gate-level circuits using $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, and the total gates were about 47K.

In a memory, most power is dissipated in high capacitive lines such as predecoder lines, word lines, and bit lines. To reduce the power dissipation in these high capacitive lines, this paper proposes three techniques using charge recycling and charge sharing. One is the charge recycling predecoder (CRPD). The second one is the charge recycling word line decoder (CRWD). The last one is the charge sharing bit line (CSBL) for a ROM. The CRPD and the CRWD recycle the previously used charge in predecoder lines and word lines. Theoretically, the power consumption in predecoder lines and word lines are reduced to a half. The CSBL reduces the swing voltage in the ROM bit lines to very small voltage using a charge sharing technique. the CSBL can significantly reduce the power dissipation in ROM bit lines. The CRPD, the CRWD, and the CSBL consume 82%, 72%, and 64% of the power of previous ROM designs respectively. A charge recycling and charge sharing ROM (CRCS-ROM) with the CRPD, the CRWD, and the CSBL is implemented. A CRCS-ROM with 8K16bits was fabricated in a 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. The CRCS-ROM consumes 8.63㎽ at 100MHz with 3.3V. The chip core area is 0.1 $\textrm{mm}^2$.

Cognitive radio systems have been considered as a strong solution of frequency scarcity due to the limit of frequency resources. This paper proposed an active interference management scheme that the secondary system can coexist with the primary system in the same frequency band without interference. Using the proposed protocol, the secondary user acquires interference channel information and transmit/receive filter information and designs precoding matrix using these information. Since interference from the secondary systems are collected to unused subchannels of the primary system, the primary system can suppress interference without additional process. The secondary systems suppress interference from the primary system using whitening matched filter so that the spectral efficiency can be improved. Numerical results provides that the proposed scheme improves performance of the secondary systems without interference to the primary system and do not degrade performance of the primary system even if the number of the secondary systems increases.

Available electric wave resources have been limited than frequency demands that increase with the development of radio communication. According to FCC's (Federal Communication Commission) report, 70% of allocated spectrum was unused. This means that the lack phenomenon of electronic wave resources is ineffectively managed compare with the finiteness of frequency resources. According to the recognition of unused frequency within allocated band, this progress has been investigating to identify the unused TV channel and provide radio communication services. This paper proposed the sensing algorithm that efficiently recognizes the frequency resources which does not use and shares with the licensed user through using the multi-band CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb) filter based on polyphase filter bank. The simulation results verifies that the proposed scheme can obtain the similar performance of variance and relatively low complexity to the existing scheme.

In this paper, when interference caused by the primary user exists, the capacity performance of the mean value-based power allocation scheme is analyzed and evaluated under the outdated channel environment in spectrum sharing systems. When interference due to the primary transmitter affects the secondary receiver, we derive the upper bound of the ergodic capacity of the mean value-based power allocation scheme in a closed form. Furthermore, based on that, we investigate how interference due to the primary transmitter degrades the ergodic capacity of the secondary user. In simulation results, we show the performance degradation of the secondary user due to interference caused by the primary user. In addition, we show that the region where the mean value-based power allocation scheme outperforms the outdated channel information-based power allocation scheme is reduced as interference by the primary user increases.

In this paper, we propose and analyze the two way ranging (TWR) positioning technique using ultra wideband (UWB) for indoor environment. We employed IEEE 802.15.3a channel as a simulation environment and used to time of arrival (TOA) algorithm. UWB technology in a low transmission power the less the effect of interfering with the existing system, the frequency can be shared so that it can improve the spectral efficiency. And, positioning technique based on UWB with a very narrow pulse width has high accuracy in indoor environment. From the simulation results, it is analyzed the probability of error and positioning performance for channel effects and confirmed usefulness of the proposed scheme.

Analysis on sharing between GSO FSS and terrestrial system in the 40㎓ band, related with the problem for sharing between terrestrial services and FSS and identification of HDFSS downlink bands in World Radiocommunication Conference 2003, was practiced by assuming that both systems are operated in Korea. According to results from simulation using the characteristic parameters of GSO FSS and terrestrial FS system in 40 ㎓ described in ITU-R Recommendations, in case that elevation and azimuth angle of antenna of FS station are adjusted to point directly to the geostationary satellite, the GSO system can cause the worst interference to the FS system. This situation is possible to occur in the installation of 40 GHz FS station in urban area where there are high-rise buildings. If high-density FS stations in 40 ㎓ band are operated in the future, interference mitigation techniques to avoid GSO arc should be considered.

In the satellite communications, the frequency sharing with other services is important because the service coverage is generally very wide and overlaps with those of other wireless services. This paper introduces a new technique to mitigate interference into the terrestrial stations from the Earth station in the same frequency band by means of band segmentations which are portions of the overall operation frequency band divided by frequency reuse factor. We consider a multi-beam satellite system, where frequency bands are reused in each satellite cell. The terrestrial stations use band segmentations of adjacent satellite cells, and this may decrease the interferences. By this way, the terrestrial and satellite systems can share the same frequency bands efficiently. The simulation is performed at frequency reuse factors, seven and three. The simulation results show that the proposed method can highly reduce the interference level to -168 dBW or -163 dBW depending on the considered frequency reuse factor from -117 dBW at the 90% link availability.

In this paper, we propose a frequency reuse method for efficient frequency use of multi-site weather radar. Our method uses a set of orthogonal pulse compression codes and CLEAN algorithm for sidelobe interference cancellation. Computer simulation results show that performance of proposed method meet performance requirements of [1], The current S-band weather radars in South Korea use the 8 different frequency channels to avoid interference. Using proposed method, number of occupied channels can reduce from 8 to 1, the 7 frequency channels may be use for other services.
