Recently, the International Telecommunication Union allocated the 470-862 MHz band to the digital broadcasting (DB) service. Moreover, the 790-862 MHz sub-band will be allocated to the next-generation mobile system, known as the International Mobile Telecommunication - Advanced (IMT-A), and to the DB on a co-primary basis in the year 2015. Currently, two candidate technologies are available to represent the IMT-A system; the Mobile WiMAX and Long Term Evolution - Advanced (LTE-A). One of the main criteria of the IMT-A candidate is to not cause additional interference to the primary service (i.e., DB). In this paper, we address the spectrum sharing issue between the IMT-A candidates and the DB service. More precisely, we investigate the interference effect between the DB service and the mobile network, which could be either LTE-A or WiMAX. Our study proposes a spectrum sharing model to take into account the impact of interference and evaluates the spectrum sharing requirements such as frequency separation and separation distance. This model considers three spectrum sharing scenarios: co-channel, zero guard band, and adjacent channel. A statistical analysis is performed, by considering the interferer spectrum emission mask and victim receiver blocking techniques. The interference-to-noise ratio is used as an essential spectrum sharing criterion between the systems. The model considers the random distribution of the users, antenna heights, and the bandwidth effect as well as the deployment environment in order to achieve spectrum sharing. The results show that LTE-A is preferable to WiMAX in terms of having less interference impact on DB; this can eventually allow the operation of both services without performance degradation and thus will lead to efficient utilization of the radio spectrum.

MC-CDMA 기법에서 효과적인 주파수 자원을 사용하기 위한 부채널 간섭을 줄이기 위해서 FFT 기법대신에 2 채널 필터 뱅크 기법을 제안하였다. 웨이브렛 특성을 가지는 원형 필터 뱅크는 보다 적은 sidelobe를 가지도록 설계되므로 가장 가까운 상호채널 간섭과 부호간의 간섭은 효과적으로 감소된다. 제안하는 MC-CDMA 시스템의 확산신호는 보다 적은 chip rate가 요구되고 자기상관 특징을 고려하지 않는 Walsh 코드가 최적의 신호 세트로 사용된다. 우리는 백색잡음 채널과 임의의 정현파 방해자가 존재하는 조건하에서 제안된 시스템의 성능을 추정하기 위해서 비트 오차 속도와 신호대잡음비를 고려하였다. 기존의 FFT 기반의 MC-CDMA 모의시험 결과와 비교하여 제안된 시스템이 간섭 효과를 줄이는 관점에서 기존의 MC-CDMA 기법보다 좋은 성능을 나타냄을 증명하였다.

Together with the GPS-based approach, geolocation through mobile communication networks is a key technology for location-based service. Since the Mobile WiMAX system is considered as a candidate for fourth-generation mobile systems, it is important to investigate its location capability. The geolocation of Mobile WiMAX can be realized when the preamble symbols in the down-link channel are appropriately used for a TDOA (Time-Difference-of-Arrival) approach. However, the cellular structure of Mobile WiMAX inevitably generates co-channel interference, and it is difficult for the mobile terminal to acquire distance measurements from multiple base stations. Therefore, for geolocation via multilateration using the Mobile WiMAX network, it is very important to increase hearability. This paper proposes a geolocation method for Mobile WiMAX which employs interference cancellation and preamble signal overlapping for the enhancement of hearability. A novel interference cancellation strategy for complex-valued Mobile WiMAX signals is presented which has an iterative structure. Simulation results show that the proposed geolocation method provides the user's position with an accuracy of less than 20 m through the Mobile WiMAX cellular network if there is no multi-path or NLOS (None-Line-of-Sight).

In this paper, we propose an efficient and robust interference mitigation technique based on a nullsteering multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) spatial division multiple access (SDMA) scheme for frequency sharing between IMT-advanced and fixed satellite service (FSS) in the 3400-4200 and 4500-4800 MHz bands. In the proposed scheme, the pre-existing precoding matrix for SDMA unitary precoded (UPC) MIMO proposed by the authors is modified to construct nulls in the spatial spectrum corresponding to the direction angles of the victim FSS earth station (ES). Furthermore, a numerical formula to calculate the power of the interference signal received at the FSS ES when IMT-Advanced base stations (BS) are operated with the interference mitigation technique is presented. This formula can be derived in closed form and is simply implemented with the help of simulation, resulting in significantly reduced time to obtain the solution. Finally, the frequency sharing results are analyzed in the co-channel and adjacent channel with respect to minimum separation distance and direction of FSS earth station (DOE). Simulation results indicate that the proposed mitigation scheme is highly efficient in terms of reducing the separation distance as well as robust against DOE estimation errors.

Under the cutoff priority discipline, the prioritized channel allocation problem is formulated, which minimizes the overall blocking probability while ensuring the co-channel interference constraints. To deal with the problem more conveniently, the concept of pattern is used. A simulated annealing approach is applied to the problem, and computational experiments show that a high-quality solution is obtained.

Interference may occur when several co-located wireless body area networks (WBANs) share the same channel simultaneously, which is compressed by resource scheduling generally. In this paper, a QoS-aware Adaptive Coloring (QAC) scheduling algorithm is proposed, which contains two components: interference sets determination and time slots assignment. The highlight of QAC is to determine the interference graph based on the relay scheme and adapted to the network QoS by multi-coloring approach. However, the frequent resource assignment brings in extra energy consumption and packet loss. Thus we come up with a launch condition for the QAC scheduling algorithm, that is if the interference duration is longer than a threshold predetermined, time slots rescheduling is activated. Furthermore, based on the relative distance and moving speed between WBANs, a prediction model for interference duration is proposed. The simulation results show that compared with the state-of-the-art approaches, the QAC scheduling algorithm has better performance in terms of network capacity, average delay and resource utility.

This paper presents a systematic method of probing channel characteristics and communication reliabilities of home power line communication network applied to the Internet accessed control of home appliances. The effects of the three performance deteriorating factors, i.e., additive noise, channel attenuation, and intersymbol interference, can be systematically measured by applying the channel probing waveform in the frequency range from 100㎑ to 450㎑. Probability of bit error is derived with the probed channel parameters of the signal attenuation, noise and signal-to-interference ratio read in the frequency domain. The agreement between the derived probability of bit ewer and the measured probability of bit error support the validity of the proposed approach of probing home power line channel characteristics. The experimental results performed with the constructed test-bed applying the Proposed channel probing method and the operation reliability measurement of the overall networked system also support the feasibility of commercially deploying the PLC modem installed home appliances and their services for the Internet accessed home automation in densely populated residential apartment complexes.

본 논문에서는 향후 이동 통신 시스템의 표준안으로 고려되는 WCDMA의 순방향 링크에서 성능 향상된 시공간 다중 사용자 수신기를 제안하고 성능을 분석한다. 제안한 수신기는, 이동 통신 환경에서 다중 경로 및 다중 사용자 간섭에 대한 분석과 시공간 다이버시티에 대한 고찰을 통해 오류 확률을 개선하고자 하는 기법으로 조건부 적응 시공간 간섭 제거기 (Constrained Adaptive Space-time Interference Canceller; C-ASTIC) 라 부른다. 논문에서는 비교를 위해 단일 사용자 및 다중 사용자 WCDMA 시스템에 대한 수식적인 성능을 분석하여 결과에 반영하였다. 또한, 제안한 C-ASTIC를 기존의 단일 안테나 간섭 제거 시스템, 최대 결합비 RAKE 수신기, 그리고 시공간 전송 다이버시티 결합 RAKE 수신기와 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 성능을 비교하였다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 환경에서의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 다중 전송률 시스템에서의 성능을 실험하였다. 결과로부터 C-ASTIC가 50% 이상의 시스템 용량 환경에서 $10^{-3}$의 BER에서 4 dB 이상의 성능 이득을 보였다.
