Si-carbon composites as anode materials for lithium rechargeable batteries were prepared simply by mixing Si nanoparticles with carbon black and/or graphite through a solution process. Si nanoparticles were well dispersed and deposited on the surface of the carbon in a tetrahydrofuran solution. Si-carbon composites showed more than 700 mAh/g of initial capacity under less than 20% loading of Si nanoparticle in the composites. While the electrode with only Si nanoparticles showed fast capacity fading during continuous cycling, Si-carbon composite electrodes showed higher capacities. The cycle performances of Si nanoparticles in composites containing graphite were improved due to the role of the graphite as a matrix.

Asymptotic theorems are very commonly used in probability. For systems whose performance depends on a set of n random parameters, asymptotic analyses for n${\to}{\infty}$ are often used to simplify calculations and obtain results yielding useful hints at the behavior of the system for finite n. These asymptotic analyses are especially useful whenever the convergence to the asymptotic results is so fast that even for moderate n they yield results close to the true values. This tutorial paper illustrates this principle by applying it to capacity calculations of multiple-antenna systems.

We prepared orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$ by emulsion drying method. The thermo-gravimetric measurement and X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the orthorhombic $LiMnO_2$ phase was formed above $800^{\circ}C$ by oxygen evaporation process from $LiMn_2O_4$ and $Li_2MnO_3$. In this process, we could control the ordering of $LiMnO_2$ with heating rate. It was observed that electrochemical properties depended on the ordering of this material; the ordered one exhibited good capacity retention, whereas the disordered one suffered capacity fading upon cycling, especially in the 3 V region. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) study showed that this difference is related with difference in the stress relieving effects in the samples.

Carrier interferometry code is considered as a promising scheme that provides significant performance improvement via frequency diversity effect. Space-time coding is commonly employed to achieve a performance gain through space diversity. The combination of these techniques and forward error correction coding will lead to enhanced system capacity and performance. This paper presents a low-density parity check (LDPC) coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme with carrier interferometry code for high-capacity and high-performance mobile multimedia communications. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed mobile multimedia transmission system offers a considerable performance improvement of approximately 9dB in terms of Eb/No in the Rayleigh fading channel with relatively low delay spread, in comparison with space-time OFDM. Performance gains are further increased, comparing with traditional OFDM systems.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid decode-amplify-forward incremental cooperative diversity protocol using SNR-based relay selection. In the proposed protocol, whenever destination unsuccessfully receives the source's signal, one of relays that exploit hybrid decode-amplify-forward technique is chosen to retransmit the signal. We derive approximate closed-form expressions of outage probability and average channel capacity. Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results and compare the performance of the proposed protocol with the direct transmission protocol and conventional incremental relaying protocols.

Spectrum leasing for cognitive radio (CR) networks is an effective way to improve the spectrum utilization. This paper presents an opportunistic relaying based spectrum leasing for CR networks where the primary users lease their frequency band to the cognitive users. The cognitive users act as relays for the primary users to improve the channel capacity, and this improved capacity is used for the transmission of secondary users' data. We show that the cognitive users can use a significant portion of the communication resource of primary networks while maintaining a fixed target data rate for the primary users. Moreover, the primary network is also benefited by the cooperating cognitive users in terms of outage probability. Information theoretic analysis and simulation results are presented to evaluate the performances of both primary and cognitive networks.

This paper provides closed form expressions for the evaluation of the end-to-end outage probability, symbol error rate, bit error rate and average capacity of the partial-based Decode-and-Forward (DF) relay selection scheme with an arbitrary number of relays. In a comparison with the performance of systems that exploit Amplify-and-Forward (AF), it can be seen that the performance of our proposed protocol converges to that of partial-based AF relay selection in high SNR regime. We also perform Monte-Carlo simulations to validate the analysis.

In this paper, the effective capacity of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system in two different cases with receive antenna selection (RAS) and transmit antenna selection (TAS) schemes is investigated. A closed-form solution for the maximum constant arrival rate of this network with statistical delay quality of service (QoS) constraint is extracted in the quasi-static fading channel. This study is conducted in two different cases.When channel state information (CSI) is not available at the MIMO transmitter, implementation of TAS is difficult. Therefore, RAS scheme is employed and one antenna with the maximum instantaneous signal to noise ratio is chosen at the receiver. On the other hand, when CSI is available at the transmitter, TAS scheme is executed. In this case, one antenna is selected at the transmitter. Moreover, an optimal power-control policy is applied to the selected antenna and the effective capacity of the MIMO system is derived. Finally, this optimal power adaptation and the effective capacity are investigated in two asymptotic cases with the loose and strict QoS requirements. In particular, we show that in the TAS scheme with the loose QoS restriction, the effective capacity converges to the ergodic capacity. Then, an exact closed-form solution is obtained for the ergodic capacity of the channel here.

적응 변조 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송 기법은 각 부반송파의 채널 상태에 따라 변조방식을 적절히 변화시켜 무선 채널의 다중 경로 페이딩에 의해 의한 영향을 최소화하여 시스템의 성능을 증가시키는 방식이다. 시스템이 적응적으로 전송하기위해서는 단말기에서 각 부반송파(subcarrier)별 채널 상태 정보 (Channel State Information : CSI)를 되먹임 채널을 통해 실시간으로 기지국으로 전송해 주어야한다. 하지만, 단말기에서 데이터를 처리할 때 걸리는 시간과, 단말기에서 기지국으로 CSI를 되먹임(feedback) 할 때 걸리는 시간으로 인한 되먹임 지연(feedback delay) d가 발생하게 된다. 이 되먹임 지연은 CSI 정보의 불일치를 발생시켜 적응 OFDM 시스템의 성능저하를 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 CSI의 되먹임 지연 $d(\geq2)$를 적절히 보상하는 주파수 축 멀티 스탭 채널 예측기를 제안하고 이를 적응 전송 OFDM 시스템에 적용하고 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 OFDM 시스템, 기존의 채널 예측방식과의 성능을 MSE(mean square error), 비트오율(bit error rate : BER) 및 채널용량을 바탕으로 비교한다.

본 논문에서는 나카가미 패이딩 채널에서 FH/MFSK 시스템에 선택 다이버시티를 적용하였을 경우의 시스템 성능을 분석한다. 선택 합성(selection combining)후의 신호대 잡음비(SNR)로부터 제거확률을 유도하고 FH/MFSK 시스템의 성분분석을 위해 사용자수(M), SNR, 나카가미 페이딩(m), 다이버시티 가지의 수(D)와 같은 파라메더들을 사용한다. m이 1인 경우, 비트에러율(BER)은 각각 D=1에서 1.0$\times$10-3이고 D=2에서 1.0$\times$10-4으로 10배만큼 감소함을 알 수 있다. m이 2인 경우, BER은 D가 증가하더라도 일정한 값을 갖는다는 것을 또한 알 수 있다. D가 2인 경우, SNR이 15dB와 25dB일 때의 시스템 용량은 다이버시티를 고려하지 않은 용량보다 각각 75%와 20% 증가된다.
