In this paper, we investigate the effect of pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and slot interval on the throughput performance of the ultra wide band (UWB) wireless communication system in multi-path channels, and based on these observations, a data throughput control using PRF and slot interval is proposed for maximizing the effective throughput. Recently, due to many desirable features of the UWB system, it has drawn much attention especially for short-range high-speed data transmission. The UWB system has two parameters to determine its data throughput; pulse repetition frequency and slot interval. In the multi-path channel with additive white Gaussian noise, the UWB system suffers from the inter-pulse interference (IPI) and noise, which result in degradation of system performance. The UWB system can vary the two parameters to maintain and/or improve the system performance. In this paper, we demonstrate the effects of the two parameters on the data throughput of the UWB system in various multi-path indoor channels through computer simulation, and show that the variable data rate approach designed based on the observations is superior to the fixed data rate one in terms of effective throughput performance.

In This Paper, we introduce an efficient IFFT design technique named for transmitter of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. In OFDM system, a cyclic prefix is inserted in forepart of OFDM symbol to prevent ICI(Inter-channel Interference) and ISI (Inter-symbol Interference). Attaching cyclic prefix causes delay in storing and copying IFFT result. The proposed IFFT removes this delay because its output is cyclic shifted by the length of cyclic prefix. So we can make a complete OFDM symbol by just copying the forepart of IFFT output to the end. In many cases, the length of cyclic prefix is 1/2n of FFT size, and this IFFT does not require additional hardware complexity and it does not cause any performance degradation.

Energy spreading transform (EST) based modulation is an effective technique to combat frequency-selective fading in broadband wireless communication. It performs close to the inter-symbol interference (ISI)-free matched filter bound (MFB) only at the complexity of a linear detector. Originally, EST-based modulation has been proposed for QPSK. However, to fully utilize the capacity of multipath fading channels, higher-order modulations are also necessary. In this paper, we review the EST based modulation that has originally been proposed for QPSK and discuss its extension to 8 PSK and 16 QAM. The performance of the extended system is verified through simulation in Proakis B and 8-tap fading channel. The EST based modulation for 8 PSK shows the performance which is very close to MFB and the EST based modulation for 16 QAM shows the performance gap between its receiver and MFB.

Bit patterned media (BPM) storage is one of the promising technologies to overcome the limitations of the conventional magnetic recording. However, there are some problems in a high areal density BPM storage, inter-track interference, inter-symbol interference and noise which are severely degrading performance of the system with reducing the bit error rate. In this paper, we present a simple iterative two-dimensional equalizer based on the contraction mapping theorem to mitigate these adverse effects. Furthermore, we examine that the channel characteristics of the proposed two-dimensional equalizer satisfies the convergence conditions. In the simulation we demonstrate the bit separation characteristics of the one-dimensional equalizer and the two-dimensional equalizer and evaluate the BER performance of the proposed equalizer comparing with the conventional equalizers. According to the results of experiments, the proposed equalizer is an promising equalizer with maintaining proper complexity for a high areal density BPM storage.

In this paper, we study the application of DSSS(Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) in underwater acoustic communication for robust the ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference. We confirm the application of DSSS in underwater acoustic communication in underwater by the simulation with underwater channel impulse response and experiment.

As a experiment result, the BER of QPSK technique is $3.19{\times}10^{-1}$ and the BER of DSSS technique is $5.17{\times}10^{-4}$.

The performance of underwater communication system is influenced on channel characteristic. Delay spread cause by reverberation and multi-path happen the ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and reduces the communication performance. In this paper, we analyze the performance of acoustic communication experiment in underwater to use the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique for overcome the reverberation and multi-path. As a result, we acquired the BER of modulation techniques. The BER of 2kbps data rate is $1.22{\times}10^{-1}$ and BER of 4 kbps data rate is $2.47{\times}10^{-2}$.

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.

In this paper, we propose the result of PSSK(Phase Silence Shift Keying) modulation scheme that is mixed PSK(Phase Shift Keying) modulation and PPM(Pulse Position Modulation) method. The performance of underwater communication systems are influenced underwater channel characteristics. In particular, delay spread can make ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) because of reverberation and multi path. It degrade the performance of the communication system. Also underwater sensor networks consider about power efficient due to the particularities of their operating environment. PSSK modulation method transmit two orthogonal symbol and using silence period in a period so it can reduce the power. Increasing the distance of between modulation symbols, to enhance the performance of BER(Bit Error Rate) as well as to improve power efficient. The result of sea trial, QPSK modulation BER is $3.19{\times}10^{-1}$ and PSSK modulation BER is $2.89{\times}10^{-1}$.

Due to the difficulty of coordination in the cellular uplink, it is a practical challenge how to achieve the optimal throughput scaling with distributed scheduling. In this paper, we propose a distributed and opportunistic user scheduling (DOUS) that achieves the optimal throughput scaling in a single-input multiple-output interfering multiple-access channel, i.e., a multi-cell uplink network, with M antennas at each base station (BS) and N users in a cell. In a distributed fashion, each BS adopts M random receive beamforming vectors and then selects M users such that both sufficiently large desired signal power and sufficiently small generating interference are guaranteed. As a main result, it is proved that full multiuser diversity gain can be achieved in each cell when a sufficiently large number of users exist. Numerical evaluation confirms that in a practical setting of the multi-cell network, the proposed DOUS outperforms the existing distributed user scheduling algorithms in terms of sum-rate.
