The performance of underwater acoustic communication system is sensitive to the inter-symbol interference due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. Thus, it is necessary technique of equalizer and channel code to eliminate inter-symbol interference. In this paper, underwater acoustic communication system were analyzed by experiment using these techniques on the Kyeong-chun lake, Munkyeong City. Based on the results of experiment, we confirmed that the performance of the proposed iterative BCJR equalization method is improved by increasing the number of iterations.

Energy spreading transform (EST) based equalization is a very effective technique to remove inter symbol interference (ISI) in frequency selective channel. EST based system uses cyclic prefix (CP) similar to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Since CP is a redundancy, it degrades the data transmission rate. RISIC is an algorithm that removes an inter block interference (IBI) caused by insufficient CP length and reconstructs CP. In this paper, we propose a system that combines the existing EST system with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation and RISIC algorithm to enhance the efficiency of the transmission. Also we extend the proposed system to 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) modulation. The proposed system is shown to performance close to matched filter bound (MFB) even with insufficient CP.

Partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) is a powerful and indispensable detection scheme for perpendicular magnetic recording channels. The proposed method is a low complexity detection scheme which is related to the PRML system. The simulation results show that PR(1,2,3,4,3,2,1)ML and PR(l,2,3,3,2,1)ML using modulation encoding with R=2/3 have the most improved performance at K=3,4. However, in the case of K=3, R=2/3 PR(1,1,1,1)ML effectively reduces the complexity compared to PR(1,2,3,3,2,1), but it has L5dB performance degradation at most. In the case of K=4, R=l PR(1,2,2,1)ML has very low complexity compared to R=2/3 PR(l,2,3,4,3,2,1)ML. but it has about 2dB performance degradation at most.

In [1], the authors have proposed a novel scheme to achieve full diversity and to combat the time delays from each relay node, but decode-and-forward (DF) model operation mode puts more processing burden on the relay. In this paper, we not only extend their model into amplify and forward (AF) model proposed in [2],[3], but also propose an efficient decoding algorithm, which is able to order the joint channel coefficients of overall channel consisting of source-relay link and relay-destination link and cancels the previous decoded symbols at the next decoding procedure. The simulation results show that this algorithm efficiently improves its performance achieving 2-3dB gain compared to [1] in high SNR region and also useful to DF achieving more than 3dB gain compared to an original algorithm.

We propose a hybrid broadcast scheduling based on a combination of periodic and on-demand data scheduling methods for mobile data broadcasting in convergence networks from communication and broadcasting. We consider an environment in which the forward channel is for data broadcasting and the reverse channel is for sending data requests via cellular phones, WLAN, WiBro, etc. Collecting statistics of requests from clients, the server partitions the data items into hot-item and cold-item sets. Hot items are sent based on a push-based scheduling. An on-demand scheduling method is applied to cold items. Performance evaluation from simulations shows that our proposed scheduling algorithm yields small response time with high successful response ratio.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid two-stage AWG-based WDM-PON architecture in order to overcome the limitations of the existing PONs and single AWG-based WDM-PONs as well as to accomodate the new services and the expandability of network. The proposed architecture employs two-stage AWG for downstream transmission and single AWG and combiners for upstream one at RN. It also employs the separated fiber with multi-wavelength for both direction. It leads to high scalability, low cost, and high capacity for transmission. In downstream transmission, the transparency can be guaranteed since the traffic is transmitted to ONU through each channel. However, several ONUs share the channel for upstream one by using WDM/TDMA scheme because the asymmetrical feature of networks is considered. The performance of the proposed one is evaluated and compared with other architectures in terms of cost, network capacity and up/downstream bandwidth.

Communication environments in the context of underwater channel are characterized to be bad by the characteristics of multipath. Multipaths are affected by various factors e.g. the temperature and the salinity of the ocean. In this paper, the representative sound speed profiles were calculated in the southern part of Baengnyeoung island so that the eigen-ray paths with the channel impulse responses were determined using the average sound speed profile of last decade. The performance of underwater communication was analyzed using the BPSK modulation and time reversal method. The significant differences of results were shown according to the change of season and carrier frequency by using computer simulation. In addition, improved performance is obtained using preprocess channel impulse response for the better comparison of two cases of summer and autumn.

Phase coherent modulation techniques in underwater acoustic channel can improve bandwidth efficiency and data reliability, but they are made difficult by time-varying intersymbol interference. This paper proposes an adaptive equalizer combined with phase estimator which compensates distortions caused by time-varying multipath and phase variation. The experiment in the East sea demonstrates phase coherent signals are distorted by time-varying multipath propagation and the proposed scheme equalizes them. Bit error rate of BPSK and QPSK are 0.0078 and 0.0376 at 300 meter horizontal distance and 0.0146 and 0.0293 at 1000 meter respectively.

Assigning different frequency resources among adjacent cells, namely the frequency reuse technique can be utilized to mitigate intercell interference, which is a major cause of performance degradation in cellular systems. Since most of conventional frequency reuse patterns are limited to the two-dimensional environment, the research for the three-dimensional frequency reuse would be beneficial especially for the implementation of femto cells in downtown office buildings. We propose frequency reuse patterns in three-dimensional space and evaluate their performance of each pattern in terms of channel capacity. In particular, we show that the proposed three-dimensional frequency reuse patterns can be applied for carrier-aggregated transmission of LTE-Advanced systems. The performance of the proposed patterns is evaluated using computer simulation.

In this paper, we introduce a wireless package system based on the amateur radio HR(HAM Radio) and satellite communication as a novel wireless disaster communication system and have configured a interference scenario receiving interference from adjacent base stations and D2D groups in the disaster network. In such interference scenarios, we propose a frequency re-allocation method to avoid interference and communicate with disaster networks by securing the channel capacity required between D2D terminals. As a result of computer simulation, we can find the proposed method has improved BED performance of a gain of 1.5dB and overall system throughput than conventional methods.
