In this study, a Software Defined Radio(SDR) technology-based digital filtering technique applicable to a multiple channel processing system such as a wireless mobile communication system using Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) technology is proposed. The technique includes a micro-processor to redesign Finite Impulse Response(FIR) filter coefficients according to specific system information and to download the filter coefficients to one digital Band Pass Filter(BPF) to reconfigure another system. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified by implementing a multiple channel signal generator that is reconfigurable to other system profiles, including those for a CDMA system and a WCDMA system on identical hardware platform.

In this paper, we developed a frequency-domain diffuse optical imaging (DOI) system for imaging non-invasively using near-infrared (NIR) light sources and detectors. 70-MHz modulation and a homodyne scheme were adopted. By calibration of the coupling coefficients, concurrent detection measurements by 4 detector sets were optimized. We presented experimental reconstruction images of absorption and scattering coefficients in a liquid phantom, located an anomaly in the phantom and determined its optical properties. The images by the multi-channel concurrent detection were improved over the results by single-channel sequential detection. Tomographic slices of absorption and scattering coefficients in the phantom with an anomaly were also presented.

In this paper, the RF-modules composed of front-end, frequency synthesizer, modulator/demodulator and power control multi channel WLL personal system for W-CDMA using 10 [MHz] RF channel bandwidth has been implemented and considered. The measured transmission power is 250 [mW] which is very close to the required value. The measured flatness of power at the final output stage is ${\pm}1.5[dB]$ over the required bandwidth of the receiver. In addition, it is found that the chip rate transmitting spread signal is set to 8.192 [MHz], the required rate. The frequencies of RF_LO signal and LO signal of the modulator and the demodulator measured by a frequency synthesizer are satisfied with design requirements. The operating range of the receiving strength signal indicator and AGC units shows 60 [dB] respectively. Also the measured phasor diagram and eye pattern for deciding the RF modules compatible with baseband digital signal processing part are shown good results.

When decision-directed channel estimation is used for QAM-OFDM systems, the optimal shape of the two-dimensional filter depends on the amplitudes of the modulated symbols as well as the channel characteristics such as delay spread, Doppler frequency, and signal-to-noise ratio. While most conventional channel estimation methods did not consider the amplitudes of the modulated symbols because of the large computational complexity, we propose a simple channel estimation method for multi-level-amplitude-modulated systems. The proposed method can effectively reduce the noise variance of the estimates with small-sized filtering and there is a possibility of reducing the implementation cost and producing better results by avoiding the bias due to large filter sizes.

This paper focuses in the implementation of mesh router supporting multi-path routing based on IEEE 802.11s. In HWMP of IEEE 802.11s, the single path routing just was defined. So, in this work, we implemented not only the single path routing defined in IEEE 802.11s, but also a multipath routing based on AOMDV which extended the standard. A multi-channel multi-interface technology that can transmit and receive simultaneously and lower bandwidth reduction caused by interferences than a single-channel single-interface was implemented in our mesh router. We also developed an outdoor test bed with the mesh routers. The bandwidth of the mesh router and a real-time video streaming service were verified using the test bed. And, the single path and multipath routing algorithms are also compared. In this test bed, The average TCP bandwidth was 23.77 Mbps and the latency was 2.4 ms in five hops. The test bed could service real-time streaming with an average jitter of 0.547 ms in five hops. The mesh router that used the multipath routing path reduced the path recovery time by 12.73% on average.

In this paper, we develop space-time(ST) Rake receivers for Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access(TD-SCDMA) base stations(BS). The beamforming of BS transforms the uplink MIMO channel space into many sub-sectors' channels to be nearly orthogonal, thus, well established 1-D Rake technology can be used to TD-SCDMA base station to construct ST Rake, which simplified the system's implementation as well as enlarged users' capacity by the beamforming. The construction and capacity of MIMO sub-sectors by multi-beamforming have been presented. The proposed ST Rake algorithm include the multi-beamforming algorithm for MIMO sub-sectors and classical 1-D Rake algorithm. The calculating formulas for interference plus noise ratio(SINR) and bit error rate(BER) have been derived. Simulations verify that the proposed ST Rake receiver for BS is effective, and the BS systems can get higher system capacity and can be of better performance than presented TD-SCDMA systems.

Distributed massive MIMO systems, which have high bandwidth efficiency and can accommodate a tremendous amount of traffic using algorithms such as zero-forcing beam forming (ZFBF), may be deployed in large public venues with the antennas mounted under-floor. In this case the channel gain matrix H can be modeled as a multi-banded matrix, in which off-diagonal entries decay both exponentially due to heavy human penetration loss and polynomially due to free space propagation loss. To enable practical implementation of such systems, we present a multi-banded matrix inversion algorithm that substantially reduces the complexity of ZFBF by keeping the most significant entries in H and the precoding matrix W. We introduce a parameter p to control the sparsity of H and W and thus achieve the tradeoff between the computational complexity and the system throughput. The proposed algorithm includes dense and sparse precoding versions, providing quadratic and linear complexity, respectively, relative to the number of antennas. We present analysis and numerical evaluations to show that the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) increases linearly with p in dense precoding. In sparse precoding, we demonstrate the necessity of using directional antennas by both analysis and simulations. When the directional antenna gain increases, the resulting SIR increment in sparse precoding increases linearly with p, while the SIR of dense precoding is much less sensitive to changes in p.

Low Density Parity Check codes(LDPC) are recently focused on communication systems due to its good performance. The standard of WiBro has also included LDPC codes as a channel coding. The weak point of implementation for LDPC encoder is that conventional binary Matrix Vector Multiplier has many clock cycles which limit throughput. In this paper, we propose semi-parallel architecture by using cyclic shift registers and exclusive-OR without conventional Matrix Vector Multipliers over the standard parity check matrices with Circulant Permutation Matrices(CPM). Furthermore, multi-rate encoder is designed by using proposed architecture. Our encoder with multi-rate for IEEE 802.16e LDPC has lower clock cycles and higher throughput.

In this paper, we explore a low-complex bandwidth allocation (BA) scheme with multi-level service guarantees in VLC-OFDM systems. Effective capacity theory, which evaluates wireless channel capacity from a novel view, is utilized to model the system capacity under delay QoS constraints of the link layer. Since intensity modulation of light is used in the system, problems caused by frequency selectivity can be neglected. Then, the BA problem can be formulated as an integer programming problem and it is further relaxed and transformed into a concave one. Lagrangian formulation is used to reformulate the concave problem. Considering the inefficiency of traditional gradient-based schemes and the demand for distributed implementation in local area networks, we localize the global parameters and propose a quasi-distributed quadratic allocation algorithm to provide two-level service guarantees, the first level is QoS oriented, and the second level is QoE oriented. Simulations have shown the efficient performance of the proposed algorithm. The users with more stringent QoS requirements require more subcarriers to guarantee their statistical delay QoS requirements. We also analyze the effect of subcarrier granularity on the aggregate effective capacity via simulations.
