Cognitive Radio는 유휴 스펙트럼을 찾아 환경에 맞는 통신방식과 주파수 대역폭을 능동적으로 판단해 재활용하는 지능적인 간섭회피로 방식으로 스펙트럼을 공유하여 전파자원효율을 극대화 하는 기술이다. 기존의 협력 스펙트럼 센싱은 협력하는 사용자들의 채널 상태만을 고려하여 임계치를 정하고 있으며, 모두 같은 고정된 오경보 확률을 적용하여 센싱하게 된다. 오경보 확률은 오류 검출과 관계가 있으며, 고정된 오경보 확률은 검출확률의 감소의 문제를 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 CR사용자의 채널상태를 고려할 뿐만 아니라 채널 상태에 따른 다른 오경보 확률을 차등 적용하여 협력 스펙트럼 센싱을 하는 시스템 모델을 제안하고 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 검출확률 향상을 보인다.

고속의 멀티미디어 서비스를 요구하는 추세에 따라 대역폭 효율이 높은 다중 사용자 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 자원 할당 방법에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 사용자 OFDM 시스템에서 제한된 자원을 이용하는 자원 할당 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 기존 알고리즘에 비하여 간략화된 채널 상태 정보(CSI: Channel State Information)를 사용하면서 전체 데이터 전송률을 최대화하는 부반송파 할당 알고리즘이다. 간략화된 CSI 구조를 사용하기 때문에 각 사용자의 정확한 정보를 알 수 없지만, 사용자의 최소 요구 데이터 전송률, 평균 채널 이득 정보를 이용하여 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있는 사용자의 후보를 정하여 부반송파를 할당한다. 결과적으로 기존의 방식에 비해 적은 채널 정보를 사용하여 더 많은 사용자에게 QoS를 만족시킬 수 있다.

Over the past few years, Wi-Fi signal based indoor positioning system (IPS) has been researched extensively because of its low expenses of infrastructure deployment. There are two major aspects of location-related information contained in Wi-Fi signals. One is channel state information (CSI), and one is received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Compared to the RSSI, the CSI has been widely utilized because it is able to reveal fine-grained information related to locations. However, the conventional IPS that employs a single access point (AP) does not exhibit decent performance especially in the environment of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) situations due to the reliability degeneration of signals caused by multipath fading effect. In order to address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel method that utilizes multiple APs instead of a single AP to enhance the robustness of the IPS. In our proposed method, a hybrid neural network is applied to the CSIs collected from multiple APs. By relying more on the fingerprint constructed by the CSI collected from an AP that is less affected by the NLOS, we find that the performance of the IPS is significantly improved.

본 논문에서는 two-way 릴레이 네트워크에서 파일롯(pilot)기반 채널 추정 기법과, 전송시 데이터 심볼과 함께 파일롯 심볼을 전송하는 기법을 제안한다. 채널상태정보(channel state information : CSI)가 없는 경우, destination은 파일롯 심볼을 사용해 채널을 추정한다. 이 시스템에서 릴레이는 파일롯 심볼과 데이터 심볼을 증폭하고 AF(amplify and forward)프로토콜을 사용하여 destination에 전송한다. 릴레이 이득이 고정되어 있어서 릴레이는 채널을 추정할 필요가 없기 때문에 destination이 채널을 추정한다. 이 채널 추정에는 이미 잘 알려진 LS(least-square)와 MMSE(minimum mean-square error)를 사용하였다.

In-band wireless full-duplex is a promising technology that enables a wireless node to transmit and receive at the same time on the same frequency band. Due to the complexity of self-interference cancellation techniques, only base stations (BSs) are expected to be full-duplex capable while user terminals remain as legacy half-duplex nodes in the near future. In this case, two different nodes share a single subchannel, one for uplink and the other for downlink, which causes inter-node interference between them. In this paper, we investigate the joint problem of subchannel assignment and power allocation in a single-cell full-duplex orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) network considering the inter-node interference. Specifically, we consider two different scenarios: i) The BS knows full channel state information (CSI), and ii) the BS obtains limited CSI through channel feedbacks from nodes. In the full CSI scenario, we design sequential resource allocation algorithms which assign subchannels first to uplink nodes and then to downlink nodes or vice versa. In the limited CSI scenario, we identify the overhead for channel measurement and feedback in full-duplex networks. Then we propose a novel resource allocation scheme where downlink nodes estimate inter-node interference with low complexity. Through simulation, we evaluate our approaches for full and limited CSIs under various scenarios and identify full-duplex gains in various practical scenarios.

Coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission has been regarded as a potential technology for LTE-Advanced. In frequency division duplexing systems, channel quantization is applied for reporting channel state information (CSI). Considering the dynamic number of cooperation base stations (BSs), asymmetry feature of CoMP channels and high searching complexity, simply increasing the size of the codebook used in traditional multiple antenna systems to quantize the global CSI of CoMP systems directly is infeasible. Per-cell codebook based channel quantization to quantize local CSI for each BS separately is an effective method. In this paper, the theoretical upper bounds of system throughput are derived for two codeword selection schemes, independent codeword selection (ICS) and joint codeword selection (JCS), respectively. The feedback overhead and selection complexity of these two schemes are analyzed. In the simulation, the system throughput of ICS and JCS is compared. Both analysis and simulation results show that JCS has a better tradeoff between system throughput and feedback overhead. The ICS has obvious advantage in complexity, but it needs additional phase information (PI) feedback for obtaining the approximate system throughput with JCS. Under the same number of feedback bits constraint, allocating the number of bits for channel direction information (CDI) and PI quantization can increase the system throughput, but ICS is still inferior to JCS. Based on theoretical analysis and simulation results, some recommendations are given with regard to the application of each scheme respectively.

This paper investigates the impact of outdated channel state information (CSI) on the performance of the incremental amplify-and-forward (AF) opportunistic relaying (OR) over dual-hop Rayleigh fading channels. According to the definition of distribution function, we obtain the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the actual combined signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) received at the destination. Based on this CDF, the closed-form expressions of the average spectral efficiency and outage probability are derived for the incremental AF OR under outdated CSI. Numerical results show that in the low region of the average SNR of the direct link, outdated CSI deteriorates the system performance, whereas in the high region, outdated CSI has almost no impact on the system performance.

The sum-rate maximization rule can find an optimal user set that maximizes the sum capacity in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) broadcast channels (BCs), but the search space for finding the optimal user set becomes prohibitively large as the number of users increases. The proposed algorithm selects a user set of the largest effective channel norms based on statistical channel state information (CSI) for reducing the computational complexity, and uses Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) for minimizing the interference between selected users in time-varying MIMO BCs.

유저 스케줄링 기법은 802.11 Wi-Fi 시스템의 전송 용량을 증대시키는 최적의 유저 집합을 선택함으로써 멀티유저 MIMO의 이득을 크게 높인다. 하지만, 대부분의 기법들은 실제 시스템에서 채널정보 교환에 의한 오버헤드 때문에 이득을 얻는데 실패한다. 본 논문은 채널 정보 교환 오버헤드를 고려한 유저스케줄링 기법과 이를 위한 MAC 프로토콜 ACE를 제안한다. AP가 모든 유저의 채널정보를 얻은 후 스케줄링을 수행하는 기존의 기법들과는 달리, ACE는 채널 정보 교환과 스케줄링이 동시에 이루어진다. 즉, AP는 이미 스케줄된 유저들의 채널 정보를 알려주고, 남아있는 유저들은 그 채널정보를 기반으로 자신의 유효채널을 계산하여 그 값에 따라 AP에게 채널 정보를 전송한다. 트레이스 기반의 MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 통해 우리는 제안한 기법이 기존 프로토콜들에 비해 높은 처리량 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex relay network (FDRN) using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, where a battery-free relay node harvests energy from the received radio frequency (RF) signals from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward the source information to destination node. The time-switching relaying (TSR) protocol is studied, with the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) at the relay node is imperfect. We deliver a rigorous analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system. Based on the outage probability expressions, the optimal time switching factor are obtained via the numerical search method. The simulation and numerical results provide practical insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as the time switching factor, the noise power, the energy harvesting efficiency, and the channel estimation error on the performance of this network. It is also observed that for the imperfect CSI case, the proposed scheme still can provide acceptable outage performance given that the channel estimation error is bounded in a permissible interval.
