This paper deals with distributed time and frequency synchronization algorithms using the flocking technique for OFDMA-based wireless mesh networks. We propose a time and frequency synchronization model taking into account channel propagation delays existing in wireless mesh networks, and analyze the convergence condition of the proposed synchronization algorithm. Convergence performance of the proposed synchronization algorithm is analyzed via computer simulation in terms of synchronization parameters in the time and frequency synchronization model.

In this paper, we propose a high-speed synchronization method for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receivers. In order to satisfy the high-speed synchronization requirement of DRM receivers, the proposed method eliminate the initial sampling frequency synchronization process in conventional synchronization methods. In the proposed method, sampling frequency tracking is performed after integer frequency synchronization and frame synchronization. Different correlation algorithms are applied to detect the first frame of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) demodulation symbol with sampling frequency offset (SFO). A frame detection algorithm that is robust to SFO is selected based on the performance analysis and simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the time spent for initial sampling frequency synchronization even if SFO is present in the DRM signal. In addition, it is verify that inter-cell differential correlation used between reference cells is roubst to the effect of initial SFO.

본 논문에서는 제한된 통신 채널의 대역에서 주파수 효율이 높은 OFDM 시스템을 위한 반송파 주파수 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. OFDM 시스템에서의 반송파 주파수 옵셋은 부반송파 간격의 정수배와 소수배로 나누어진다 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우에는 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정이 어렵고 반송파 동기 PLL이 소수배 주파수 옵셋을 추적하는데 많은 시간이 소요된다. 제안한 알고리즘은 정수배 주파수 옵셋을 제거하기 위해 2개의 심볼 만을 이용하고 다중경로 패널에서도 정확한 정수배 주파수 옵셋의 추정이 가능하다 또한, 소수배 주파수 옵셋이 ± 0.5 근처의 값을 가질 경우 적은 계산량으로 주파수 옵셋을 ± 0.1 이내로 보상할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a frequency synchronization algorithm for S-DMT cable modem, which is practicable to the next-generation high capacity upstream physical layer in HFC networks. Analyzing several viable frequency synchronization algorithms of multicarrier systems, we proposed an algorithm using predetermined training sequence of repeated pattern in preamble field and residual frequency offset compensation with pilot signals. We verified that the simulation results of the proposed algorithm in AWGN showed good performance and suitability to the S-DMT upstream cable modem for fast frequency synchronization.

This study has been experimented the characteristics of synchronous oscillator for clock recovery of Direct Sequence/Spread Spectrum(DS/SS) communication. When external wave is not provided, The Synchronous Oscillator(SO) oscillates at its natural frequency. As soon as external signal is applied, the SO starts tracking the external frequency which can be sinusoidal, pulsed or some other waveform. Thus, the output is synchronized with the range of wide tracking bandwidth to the external frequency Specifically, the SO also posses frequency division and multiplication capability. All of these indicate that the SO can overcome difficulties to get synchronization in coherent digital communication systems. We make a practical application of DS/SS communication with study on the synchronous properties of SO. As the result, we have a good performance.

This paper proposes the method of frequency synchronization using the spectrum correlation in ATSC terrestrial DTV system. If the spectrum around pilot is severely distorted by multipath or mobile reception environment, the conventional algorithm using the pilot signal makes the estimation error of the frequency offset. Because the proposed algorithm acquires frequency synchronization using the correlation between the received specalm and the standard spectrum without the use of pilot, the proposed method can acquire frequency synchronization faster and more accurate than conventional algorithm. And this paper proposes new method for ATSC frequency synchronization without the use of pilot.

In this paper, we propose a novel method of multi-node frequency synchronization for distributed networks. The proposed method synchronizes carrier frequencies of all nodes in the network and this enables new entry node to synchronize immediately. Moreover, when several groups exist in the network, inter-group synchronization method is proposed. The proposed distributed frequency synchronization method is expected to be very useful for the military operation scenario that new node entry is in a state of flux and group merging and splitting frequently happen.

본 논문에서는 위상/주파수 검출기을 설계시 문제가 되는 Reference Spur을 없게 하여 Low Noise를 구현할 수 있는 No Spike PFD(Phase Frequency Detector)를 제안한다. 위상동기루프의 특별한 형태로 차지 펌프 위상동기루프가 있다. 차지 펌프위상동기 루프는 일반적으로 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기를 이용한다. 이 3-state 위상/주파수 검출기는 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 디지털 파형으로 출력을 내보낸다. 차지 펌프 위상동기루프 그림 1 처럼 디지털 위상/주파수 검출기(PFD), 차지 펌프(CP), 루프 필터(LF), VCO로 구성된다. PFD 는 기준 신호와 VCO 에 의해 만들어진 출력 신호를 입력받아 각각의 위상과 주파수를 비교한다. 즉, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 느릴 때에는 출력 신호를 앞으로 당기기 위해서 up 신호를 넘겨주고, 출력 신호가 기준 신호보다 빠를 때에는 출력 신호를 뒤로 밀기 위해 down 신호를 넘겨준다. 차지 펌프(CP)의 전류를 Ip 라고 한다면, CP 에서 LF 로 흐르거나, LF에서 CP로 흐르는 전류 Ip의 평균량이 기준 신호와 VCO 출력 신호의 위상차에 비례하는 것이다.

In this paper, the carrier frequency offset estimator is proposed for the China multimedia mobile broadcasting (CMMB). The fractional carrier frequency offset is estimated by utilizing the cyclic prefix in each CMMB symbol. In addition, the integer carrier frequency offset can be estimated with the synchronization signal in every CMMB frame. The proposed estimator is the most suitable for the frame structure of CMMB. It shows a prominent performance even in timing offset and multipath conditions.

In this paper, a practical model for evaluating and comparing the bit error rates(BERs) due to adjacent channel mutual interference in a synchronous and asynchronous frequency hopped spread spectrum multiple access(FH-SSMA) radio communication systems is proposed. After implementing the actual FH radio in both the sychronous and asynchronous case, the BER is computed and measured. An experiment of this system in mobile tactical environments reveals that the performance in the asynchronous case is lower than that of the synchronous case. The computer simulation model is an efficient tool for designing practical FH radios in mobile communication environments.
