To increase the bit rate over than 1 Gb/s in LED visible light communications, we need to reduce the multipath effect of the light in indoor environment. In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for LED visible light wireless LAN with beamforming technique. We assumed that spatial light modulator is used for beamforming function. We use polling method since detecting another uplink channel is difficult in visible light communication. We also estimated the performance of the proposed MAC protocol.

This paper describes a structure of adaptive equalizer to improve reception performance of ATSC digital television (DTV) for 8-VSB receivers. There are many strong and dynamic echoes affecting reliable reception of DTV signal. Conventional DFE based least mean square (LMS) algorithm is readily implemented and has good Performance. There are still problems to be solved, however, in handling strong echoes and indoor reception. In this paper, structure of adaptive equalizer to mitigate these Problems in strong multipath interference conditions and indoor reception environment is first presented. Methods to reduce error propagation effects on DFE and initialization scheme of filter coefficients for fast convergence are then introduced. Computer simulation results prove that an adaptive equalizer with proposed design methods can combat with Brazil Ensemble and the Threshold of Visibility(TOV) is improved.

This paper proposes a telemetering method that transmits the real-time data together with the time-delayed data and that merges both data after flight test. The method can minimize the error data which occur in the communication environment affected by the multipath fading and transmit antenna pattern when telemetry data are received during the flight test. This method was applied to the design of the telemetry unit and the development of data merging program. By merging the resulting data of flight test and analyzing synchronization errors, its efficiency for the telemetry link is verified.

In a frequency selective fading channel, Pre-Rake diversity technique provides simple receiver structure and sufficient diversity effect for mobile terminals. However, conventional Pre-Rake systems are more severely affected than Rake systems with regard to multiple access interference since the number of multipaths received at the mobile unit is nearly twice that of the Rake systems. In order to overcome the problem, a Pre-Rake TDD-CDMA system using zero correlation duration (ZCD) spreading code is proposed. Modified ZCD codes including guard interval (GI) is also proposed and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation under the condition of various channel environment.

In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of synchronization of CCK(Complementary Code Keying) modulation scheme used for IEEE 802.11g wireless LAM system supporting 54 Mbps of high speed data rate over 2.4 GHz. At receiver, the clock frequency offset is caused by noise or fading. This frequency error occurs the offset of clock timing and causes ISI. Therefore the tracking is required to reduce the clock timing offset. The DLL(Delay Lock Loop), asychronization mode, performing tacking the clock is used for the simulation. The simulation result shows jitter variance and BER performance in the AWGN and multipath fading channel environment.

A wide-band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) operation is proposed for premium indoor access points (IAPs). Typically, an omni-directional pattern is used for dipole antennas and a directional radiation pattern is used for patch antennas. In this paper, both antenna types were used to compare their performance with that of the proposed $2{\times}2$ MIMO antenna. We simulated and measured the performance of the MIMO antenna, including the isolation, envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), mean effective gain (MEG) for the IAPs, and the throughput, in order to determine its communication quality. The performance of the antennas was analyzed according to the ECC and MEG. The proposed antenna has sufficient performance and excellent characteristics, making it suitable for IAPs. We analyzed the communication performance of wireless networks using the throughput data of a typical office environment. The network throughput of an 802.11n device was used for the comparison and was conducted according to the antenna type. The results showed that the values of the ECC, MEG, and the throughput have unique characteristics in terms of their directivity, antenna gains, isolation, etc. This paper also discusses the communication performance of various aspects of MIMO in multipath situations.

Over the past few years, Wi-Fi signal based indoor positioning system (IPS) has been researched extensively because of its low expenses of infrastructure deployment. There are two major aspects of location-related information contained in Wi-Fi signals. One is channel state information (CSI), and one is received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Compared to the RSSI, the CSI has been widely utilized because it is able to reveal fine-grained information related to locations. However, the conventional IPS that employs a single access point (AP) does not exhibit decent performance especially in the environment of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) situations due to the reliability degeneration of signals caused by multipath fading effect. In order to address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel method that utilizes multiple APs instead of a single AP to enhance the robustness of the IPS. In our proposed method, a hybrid neural network is applied to the CSIs collected from multiple APs. By relying more on the fingerprint constructed by the CSI collected from an AP that is less affected by the NLOS, we find that the performance of the IPS is significantly improved.

Wi-Fi Round-trip timing (RTT) based location estimation technology estimates the distance between the user and the AP based on the transmission and reception time of the signal. This is because reception instability and signal distortion are greater than that of a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based fingerprint in an indoor NLOS environment, resulting in a large position error due to multipath fading. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an end-to-end based WiFi Trilateration Net (WTN) that combines neural network-based RTT correction and trilateral positioning network, respectively. The proposed WTN is composed of an RNN-based correction network to improve the RTT distance accuracy and a neural network-based trilateral positioning network for real-time positioning implemented in an end-to-end structure. The proposed network improves learning efficiency by changing the trilateral positioning algorithm, which cannot be learned through differentiation due to mathematical operations, to a neural network. In addition, in order to increase the stability of the TOA based RTT, a correction network is applied in the scanning step to collect reliable distance estimation values from each RTT AP.

In this study, we design an optimized Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based GNSS signal processing technique with the goal of designing and implementing a GNSS Software Defined Receiver (SDR) that can operate in real time all-in-view mode under multi-constellation and multi-frequency signal environment. In the proposed structure the correlators of the existing GNSS SDR are processed by the GPU. We designed a memory structure and processing method that can minimize memory access bottlenecks and optimize the GPU memory resource distribution. The designed GNSS SDR can select and operate only the desired GNSS or desired satellite signals by user input. Also, parameters such as the number of quantization bits, sampling rate, and number of signal tracking arms can be selected. The computing capability of the designed GPU-based GNSS SDR was evaluated and it was confirmed that up to 2400 channels can be processed in real time. As a result, the GPU-based GNSS SDR has sufficient performance to operate in real-time all-in-view mode. In future studies, it will be used for more diverse GNSS signal processing and will be applied to multipath effect analysis using more tracking arms.

In edge computing scenarios, IoT end devices play a crucial role in relaying and forwarding data to significantly improve IoT network performance. However, traditional routing mechanisms are not applicable to this scenario due to differences in network size and environment. Therefore, it becomes crucial to establish an effective and reliable data transmission path to ensure secure communication between devices. In this paper, we propose a trusted path selection strategy that comprehensively considers multiple attributes, such as link stability and edge cooperation, and selects a stable and secure data transmission path based on the link life cycle, energy level, trust level, and authentication status. In addition, we propose the Stability-based On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (STAOMDV) protocol based on the Ad hoc AOMDV protocol. The STAOMDV protocol implements the collection and updating of link stability attributes during the route discovery and maintenance process. By integrating the STAOMDV protocol with the proposed path selection strategy, a dependable and efficient routing mechanism is established for IoT networks in edge computing scenarios. Simulation results validate that the proposed STAOMDV model achieves a balance in network energy consumption and extends the overall network lifespan.
