In this paper, we investigate performance of OFDM employing macrodiversity selection on a shadowed multipath channel to reduce the effects of long-term shadowing. Three different situations are considered： independent shadowing with equidistant ports, independent shadowing with non-equidistant ports, and correlated shadowing. Numerical results show that OFDM performance is improved as the number of macrodiversity ports increases. In the situation where the user is much closer to certain port(s), performance becomes worse compared to that of the equidistant situation. In addition, as the correlation increases among the ports, the advantage of macrodiversity is reduced.

Spectrum sensing is a key technical challenge for cognitive radio (CR). It is well known that multicycle cyclostationarity (MC) detection is a powerful method for spectrum sensing. However, a conventional MC detector is difficult to implement because of its high computational complexity. This paper considers reducing computational complexity by simplifying the test statistic of a conventional MC detector. On the basis of this simplification process, an improved MC detector is proposed. Compared with the conventional detector, the proposed detector has low-computational complexity and high-accuracy sensing performance. Subsequently, the sensing performance is further investigated for the cases of Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, Rician, and Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing channels. Furthermore, square-law combining (SLC) is introduced to improve the detection capability in fading and shadowing environments. The corresponding closed-form expressions of average detection probability are derived for each case by the moment generation function (MGF) and contour integral approaches. Finally, illustrative and analytical results show the efficiency and reliability of the proposed detector and the improvement in sensing performance by SLC in multipath fading and lognormal shadowing environments.

본 논문에서는 이동 무선채널이 레일레이(Rayleigh) 분포된 다중경로 페이딩 채널(multipath fading channel)일 경우에 불완전 전력제어된 DS/CDMA 셀룰라 시스템의 역방향 링크에 대하여, 음영효과와 다중 경로 페이딩을 모두 고려한 확장된 DS/CDMA 블럭킹 확률식(blocking probability formula)을 유도한다. 음영효과(shadowing)만을 고려한 경우와 음영효과와 다중경로 페이딩을 모두 고려한 경우에 대하여 각각 얼랑용량과 등가 채널수를 비교 분석한다. DS/CDMA 블럭킹 확률은 각 사용자에 해당하는 E/sub b(i)//Ⅰ/sub 0/의 중간 값(median value)을 이용하여 얼랑용량과 간섭보정계수를 구하는 분석방법으로 계산한다. 2%의 블럭킹 확률을 가정하면 데이터를 R/sub b/=9.6 kbps에서는 19.97 얼랑, R/sub b/=14.4 kbps에서는 11.67 얼랑으로 음영효과만을 고려한 경우보다 각각 16%와 19%의 용랑이 감소함을 알 수 있다. 또한 다중경로 페이딩의 영향을 무시해서는 안된다는 것을 보이고 DS/CDMA 셀룰라 시스템이 지원할 수 있는 정확한 얼랑용량과 등가채널수를 제공한다.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can provide significant increments in capacity; however, the capacity of MIMO systems degrades severely when spatial correlation among multipath channels is present. This paper demonstrates that the influence of shadowing on the channel capacity is more substantial than that of multipath fading; therefore, the shadowing effect is actually the dominant impairment. To overcome the composite fading effects, we propose combining macroscopic selection diversity (MSD) schemes with MIMO technology. To analyze the system performance, the capacity outage expression of MIMO-based MSD (MSD-MIMO) systems using a characteristic function is applied. The analytic results show that there are significant improvements when MSD schemes are applied, even for the two-base-station diversity case. It is also observed that the effect of spatial correlation due to multipath fading is almost negligible when multiple base stations cooperatively participate in the mobile communication topology.

There are several factors that disturb an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio propagation in an indoor environment such as path loss, shadowing and multipath fading. These factors directly affect the quality of the received signal. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the human body shadowing on UWB propagation based on measured wireless channel in an anechoic chamber. The characteristics of the UWB channel including the transmitter and the receiver antenna effects are acquired over the frequency bandwidth of 3${\sim}$11 GHz. The major factors such as the power delay profile (PDP), the angular power distribution (APD), the pulse distortion and the RMS delay spread caused by the human body shadowing are presented.

In this paper, it is assumed that a mobile radio channel is a Rayleigh distributed multipath fading channel and Erlang capacity and equivalent channel numbers are calculated for the reverse link of a imperfect power controlled DS/CDMA cellular system considering both shadowing and multipath fading. The DS/CDMA blocking probability is calculated based on a new analysis method that considers Erlang capacity and ICF(interference correction factor) using the median value of $E_{b(i)}$/ $I_{o}$ corresponding to each reverse link user. It is showed that the effect of multipath fading must not be ignored in Erlang capacity of the IS-95 DS/CDMA cellular system and the Erlang capacity is decreased according to the increase of the deviation of the imperfect power control, to the decrease of the processing gain, to the increase of the voice activity.y.

This paper considers the effects of simultaneous correlated multipath fading and shadowing on the performances of a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based dual-branch selection combining (SC) diversity receiver. This analysis includes the presence of cochannel interference. A generalized fading/shadowing channel model in an interference-limited correlated fading environment is modeled by generalized-K distribution. Closed-form expressions are obtained for probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the SC output SIR, as well as for the outage probability. Based on this, the influence of various fading and shadowing parameter values and the correlation level on the outage probability is examined.

Furthermore, the square-law combining (SLC) is introduced to improve the detection capability over fading-shadowing channels. The corresponding closed-form expressions of average detection probability are derived for each case by the moment generation function (MGF) approach. Finally, illustrative and analytical results show that the efficiency and reliability of proposed detector and the improvement on sensing performance by SLC over composite fading-shadowing channels.

본 논문에서는 대역확산 워터마킹 시스템을 무선채널 환경에서 부가데이터를 전송하기 위하여 적용할 경우 채널에 의한 영향을 분석하기 위하여 채널용량식을 정보이론적 관점에서 유도하고 분석한다. 부가데이터를 기존의 무선통신 시스템을 통하여 전송하기 위해서는 무선채널을 통과하는 워터마킹 신호가 채널에 의해서 어떻게 영향을 받고, 어느 정도의 데이터를 신뢰할 만한 수준으로 전송가능한지를 판단하는 기준으로서의 채널용량에 관한 연구가 필수적이다. 수치적 결과로부터 대역확산 워터마킹 시스템의 채널용량은 HWR, WNR, PN 길이 및 호스트 시스템의 샘플링 주파수에 의해 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 적용된 Nakagami-m 페이딩 채널과 Log-normal 새도잉 채널에서 채널 상태 변화에 따른 채널용량의 변화를 확인하였고 다이버시티를 적용했을 경우의 채널용량의 향상 또한 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 다룬 대역확산 워터마킹 시스템의 채널용량의 수식적 결과는 PN 시퀀스를 이용하는 일반적인 대역확산 워터마킹 시스템에 적용할 수 있다.

In this paper, performance of a pseudonoise (PN) code tracking loop is analyzed and simulated for a direct-sequence/code-division multiple access ( DS/CDMA) system with imperfect power control in a multipath fading channel. A noncoherent first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) is considered as a PN code tracking loop. Power control error is modeled as a log-normally distributed random variable. From the simulation results, it is shown that for smaller discriminator offset, tracking jitter performance is improved while MTLL performance is degraded. It is shown that large power control error and heavy shadowing substantially degrade the PN tracking performance. The analysis in this paper can be applicable to design of PN code tracking loop for a DS/CDMA system.
