차량 간 무선 통신을 목적으로 만들어진 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 (OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)기반 WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 시스템의 물리층 표준은 기존에 표준화된 IEEE802.11a 무선랜(WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network)의 표준을 따르는 것으로 되어 있다. 따라서 WAVE는 초기 동기 이후 차량 간 다중 경로 페이딩(Multipath Fading) 채널의 영향으로 인하여 심볼 타이밍에 있어서 연속적인 시간 지연이 발생함에 따라 시스템의 수신 성능이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문은 추가적인 심볼 시간 지연을 보상해 주기 위한 심볼 시간 추적(Tracking) 알고리듬을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 알고리듬을 최대 지연 시간 (Maximum Timing Delay)이 적용된 최악의 통신환경에 적용하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 가산성 백색 가우스 잡음 (AWGN: Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채 널 및 페이딩 채널 환경에서 시스템의 수신 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

In the vehicle communication system, transferred information is needed to be detected as possible as fast in order to inform car status located in front and rear side. Through the moving vehicle information, we can avoid the crash caused by sudden break of front one or acquire to real time traffic data to check the detour road. To be connecting the wireless communication between the vehicles, fast timing synchronization can be a key factor. Finding out the sync point fast is able to have more marginal time to compensate the distorted signals caused by channel variance. Thus, we introduce the combination method which helps find out the start of frame quickly. It is executed by auto-correlation and cross-correlation simultaneously using only short preambles. With taking the absolute value at the implemented synch block output, the proposed method shows much better system performance to us.

This paper proposes a dual addressing scheme (DAS) for IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 wireless sensor networks (WSN). DAS combines a global unicast address to cope with association link changes and node mobility, and it links local addresses to lighten the overhead of the system to save energy and resources. This paper describes DAS address formats, address autoconfiguration, and address translation tables in the gateway. A detailed description of DAS is provided through examples. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the performance improvements of the DAS compared with the IPv6-based WSN, which uses the conventional single address.

본 논문에서는 2.4GHz 대역의 근거리 무선 통신에 사용되는 역-F형 내부 안테나의 설계 값에 따른 안테나 특성을 분석하였다. PCB 기판에 인쇄된 형태로 설계하여 안테나의 길이, 단락 스터브의 두께, 피드선과 단락 스터브 사이의 간격, 안테나와 접지면 사이의 간격, 안테나의 두께 및 기판의 두께와 기판의 유전율에 따른 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 설계값에 따른 특성변화 그래프로부터 설계값을 튜닝하여 최적의 안테나를 설계하였다. 설계된 안테나는 VSWR이 1.5이하인 주파수 대역폭이 6.3%, 이득 3dB 정도를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 근거리무선 통신용 RF 모듈을 구성하는 핵심 부품인 5.5GHz 대역 LNA와 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 설계하였다. LNA는 NEC사의 NE3210S01를 사용하여 잡음특성을 개선하였으며 마이크로 스트립 패치 안테나는 전방향성을 갖도록 설계하였다. 제작된 LNA는 이득이 약15dB, 입출력 반사손실이 -20 dB 이하이며, VSWR은 1.5를 넘지 않는 특성을 보였다. 단일패치 안테나는 입력 반사 손실이 -28 dB이며, VSWR은 1.2 이하의 우수한 특성을 나타내었다.

무선랜은 그 사용의 편이성과 우수한 성능 때문에 널리 사용되고 있는 무선접속 방법의 하나이다. 하지만, 사용자가 많아지면 그 성능이 매우 열화 되는 단점이 있다. 혼잡 철도 역사에서는 무선랜에 접속하고자하는 사용자가 많고 특히 열차가 도착하여 승객이 하차할 시 무선랜에 동시 접속을 하려는 사용자의 수가 갑자기 증가하게 된다. 이러한 혼잡 상황에서는 무선랜과 통신을 개시하기 위한 망 접속절차를 수행할 수 없게 되어 무선랜과의 통신이 불가하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 혼잡 철도 역사 상황에서 사용자가 무선랜의 접속을 효과적으로 할 수 있는 무선랜 분산접속 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 사용하면 혼잡 상황에서 무선랜 접속에 소요되는 시간을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있게 되어 Communication Based Train Control (CBTC)에 사용하는 무선랜의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Universal AIS, which has been adopted officially for automatic identification systems among regulated ships by SOLAS, should be installed, for example, on all passenger ships over 300 tons engaged in international voyage and over 500 tons in domestic voyage, sequentially from 2002 to 2004. We must not overlook the fact than-ruled regions by regional authorities in the case of VTS. Actually a major portion of accidents have happened in small vessels like fishing vessels. However, they are not equipped with automatic identification tools, due to the high costs of the equipment for identifying purposes, as well as the absence of regulation In this paper, we researched the alternative of automatic identification for small vessel instead of universal AIS. We analyzed the requirement of automatic identification for small vessel about wireless communication method, traffic volume, etc. We proposed the identification system for small vessels in local areas and developed the Local Vessel Identification System (LVIS) interoperable with universal AIS using a PDA platform and wireless network.

Many studies have investigated the smart grid architecture and communication models in the past few years. However, the communication model and architecture for a smart grid still remain unclear. Today's electric power distribution is very complex and maladapted because of the lack of efficient and cost-effective energy generation, distribution, and consumption management systems. A wireless smart grid communication system can play an important role in achieving these goals. In this paper, we describe a smart grid communication architecture in which we merge customers and distributors into a single domain. In the proposed architecture, all the home area networks, neighborhood area networks, and local electrical equipment form a local wireless mesh network (LWMN). Each device or meter can act as a source, router, or relay. The data generated in any node (device/meter) reaches the data collector via other nodes. The data collector transmits this data via the access point of a wide area network (WAN). Finally, data is transferred to the service provider or to the control center of the smart grid. We propose a wireless cooperative communication model for the LWMN.We deploy a limited number of smart relays to improve the performance of the network. A novel relay selection mechanism is also proposed to reduce the relay selection overhead. Simulation results show that our cooperative smart grid (coopSG) communication model improves the end-to-end packet delivery latency, throughput, and energy efficiency over both the Wang et al. and Niyato et al. models.

Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) spread-spectrum techniques will playa key role in short range wireless connectivity supporting high bit rates availability and low power consumption. UWB can be used in the design of wireless local and personal area networks providing advanced integrated multimedia services to nomadic users within hot-spot areas. Thus the assessment of the possible interference caused by UWB devices on already existing narrowband and wideband systems is fundamental to ensure nonconflicting coexistence and, therefore, to guarantee acceptance of UWB technology worldwide. In this paper, we study the coexistence issues between an indoor UWB-based system (hot-spot) and outdoor point to point (PP) links and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) systems operating in the 3.5 - 5.0 GHz frequency range. We consider a realistic UWB master/slave system architecture and we show through computer simulation, that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with PP and FWA without causing any dangerous interference.

With the recent popularity of smart terminals, the demand for high-data-rate transmission is growing rapidly, which brings a new challenge for the traditional cellular networks. Both device-to-device (D2D) communication and small cells are effective to improve the transmission efficiency of local communication. In this paper, we apply D2D communication into a small cell network system (SNets) and study about the optimization problem of resource allocation for D2D communication. The optimization problem includes system scheduling and resource allocation, which is exponentially complex and the optimal solution is infeasible to achieve. Therefore, in this paper, the optimization problem is decomposed into several smaller problems and a hierarchical scheme is proposed to obtain the solution. The proposed hierarchical scheme consists of three steps: D2D communication groups formation, the estimation of sub-channels needed by each D2D communication group and specific resource allocation. From numerical simulation results, we find that the proposed resource allocation scheme is effective in improving the spectral efficiency and reducing the outage probability of D2D communication.
