Carrier Ethernet backbone network integrates distributed layer-2 based metro networks. In this networks, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) has been uscd as a main routing protocol that allows multiple spanning trees in a network. A better routing protocol called IEEE802.1aq - Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) is recently proposed, that generates the shortest spanning tree per a destination node. As SPB provides a routing path per a destination node, there is no way to adapt network traffic at normal condition. If we are free from the principle of "a spanning tree per a destination node", we can achieve adaptive routing. Based on this philosophy, we propose a new spanning tree based protocol - Edge Node Divided Spanning Tree (ENDIST). ENDIST divides an edge node into sub-nodes as many as connecting links from the node and each sub-node generates a single shortest path tree based on SPB. Depending on network or nodal status, ENDIST chooses a better routing path by flow-basis. This added traffic engineering ability contributes to enhanced throughput and reduced delay in backbone networks. The simulation informs us that ENDIST's throughput under heavy load performs about 3.4-5.8 and 1.5-2.0 times compared with STP's and SPB's one respectively. Also, we verified that ENDIST's throughput corresponds to the theoretical upper bound at half of cases we investigated. This means that the proposed ENDIST is a dramatically enhanced and the close-to-perfect spanning tree based routing schemes.

It should guarantee high reliability and ultra low latency communication. Additionally, it should support connection between massive devices. As one of estimated scenarios for 5G mobile communication, mobile devices and sensors using low data rate wireless communication will increase. For communication of these devices, single-carrier system can be considered. In order to satisfy these requirements, in this paper, we propose CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system using complex spreading and Multi-level BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying). The proposed system spread transmit symbol by using chip code consisted of real and imaginary number. As simulation results, we can confirm that although the proposed system has 3dB lower BER (Bit Error Rate) performance than conventional CDMA system, the proposed system can support 2 times more users in comparison with conventional CDMA system.

CDMA scheme has received a great deal of attenttion as a multiple-access method for future mobile networks. Its main advantage: are higher radio capacity and the capacity of flexible data tranmission. And CDMA scheme is a key technology in the proposals submitted to the ITU on next generation multimedia system with integrated services, namely real-time voice services and non real-time data services. In this paper, capacity evaluation of multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) Multi-Carrier(MC)/CDMA system is considered to mitigate multiple access interference, partial-band interference and enhance system channel capacity in wireless channel. Recently, to increase the spectrum efficiency and the link reliability, MIMO-MC/CDMA scheme is devised to exploit multi-path in a scattering wireless channel. In particular, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA system is evaluated according to Eb/No. Mc, p and B. From the results, in order to inappropriate spacing and the signals are frequency overlapped by partial band interference, the channel capacity of MIMO-MC/CDMA system becomes substantially smaller.

For the 4th generation mobile communication, LTE-advanced system needs the broad frequency band up to 100MHz for providing the data rate of maximum 1Gpbs. However, it is very difficult to secure the broad frequency band in the current frequency allocation situation. So, carrier aggregation was proposed as the solution, in which several fragmented frequency bands are used at the same time. Basically, multiple parallel receivers are required to get the information data from the different frequency bands but this conventional multi-chain receiver system is very inefficient. Therefore, in this paper, we like to study the single chain system that is able to receive the multi-band signals in a single receiver based on the time division multiplexing (TDM) reception method. This proposed TDM receiver efficiently manage to receive the multi-band signals in time domain and handle the baseband signals with one DSP board. However, the serious distortion could be generated by the sampling timing offset (STO) in the TDM-based system. Therefore, we like to analyze STO effects in the TDM-based system and propose a compensation method using estimated STO. Finally, it is shown by simulation that the proposed method is appropriate for the single chain receiver and show good compensation performance.

The performance characteristics of magnetic fluid seals are studied numerically as a function of working gap, pole width, angle of pole sharpening, and shaft speed. The temperature distribution of a magnetic fluid seal with multiple tooth is investigated as a function of the contact fraction of magnetic fluids at the periphery of pole tooth using a finite element method. The most significant design parameter of a magnetic fluid seal is the working gap between the pole pieces and the rotating shaft. The result shows that with increasing the working gap, the friction torque decreases radically. The practical working gap for the pole pieces with triangular tooth zone profile is 0.2-0.4mm. The FEM results indicate that the optimal filling of a magnetic fluid between the pole pieces and the shaft is very important due to the accumulations of nonuniform friction heating within the pole pieces, which may interfere the magnetic circuit flow.

In this paper, we analyze the algorithm of the methodology developed by ITU for the calculation of spectrum requirements of IMT-Advanced. We propose an approach to estimate user density using traffic statistics, and to estimate spectrum efficiencies using carrier-to-interference ratio distribution and capacity theory as well as experimental data under Korean mobile communication environments. We calculate the IMT-Advanced spectrum requirements based on the user density and spectral efficiencies acquired from the new method. In the case of spectral efficiency using higher modulation and coding schemes, the spectrum requirement of IMT-Advanced is approximately 2700 MHz. When applying a $2{\times}2$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system, it is approximately 1500 MHz; when applying a $4{\times}4$ MIMO antenna system, it is approximately 1050 MHz. Considering that the development of new technology will increase spectrum efficiency in the future, the spectrum requirement of IMT-Advanced in the Korean mobile communication environment is expected to be approximately 1 GHz bandwidth.

We have developed a novel digital feedback predistortion(DFBPD) linearization based on RF feedback PD for the wide bandwidth modulated signals. The wideband PD operation is carried out by combining the DFBPD and memory lookup table(LUT). To experimentally demonstrate the linearization performance of the proposed PD technique for wideband signal, a class-AB amplifier using an LDMOSFET MRF6S23140 with 140-W peak envelope power is employed at 2.345 GHz. For a forward-link 2FA wideband code-division multiple-access signal with 10 MHz carrier spacing, the proposed DFBPD with memory LUT delivers the adjacent channel leakage ratio at an 10 MHz offset of -56.8 dBc, while those of the amplifier with and without DFBPD are -43.2 dBc and -41.9 dBc, respectively, at an average output power of 40 dBm. The experimental result shows that the new DFBPD with memory LUT provides a good linearization performance for the signal with wide bandwidth.

In this paper, a novel IQ modulator that precisely controls the magnitude and phase of input signals is proposed. The proposed IQ modulator consists of low phase deviation attenuators, a splitter, and a combiner. In order to overcome the phase deviation characteristics found in conventional attenuators, a novel phase compensation technique has been adopted and mathematically analyzed. Linear vector arrays along the center point with large magnitude output signal variations in a full $360^{\circ}$ phase control are achieved on a polar plane by the proposed IQ modulator.

We demonstrate rotationally invariant space-time (ST) trellis codes with a 4-D rectangular signal constellation for data transmission over fading channels using two transmit antennas. The rotational invariance is a good property to have that may alleviate the task of the carrier phase tracking circuit in the receiver. The transmitted data stream is segmented into eight bit blocks and quadrature amplitude modulated using a 256 point 4-D signal constellation whose 2-D constituent constellation is a 16 point square constellation doubly partitioned. The 4-D signal constellation is simply the Cartesian product of the 2-D signal constellation with it-self and has 32 subsets. The partition is performed on one side into four subsets A, B, C, and D with increased minimum-squared Euclidian distance, and on the other side into four rings, where each ring includes four points of equal energy. We propose both linear and nonlinear ST trellis codes and perform simulations using an appropriate multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel model. The 4-D ST codes constructed here demonstrate about the same frame error rate (FER) performance as their 2-D counterparts, having however the added value of rotational invariance.

In this paper, we propose iterative algorithms to obtain the transmit and the receive vectors for interference alignment in cellular network. Although the conventional interference alignment algorithms for interference channels can be applied to cellular network, the number of iterations required to achieve a high sum rate is very large. The key idea in the proposed algorithms is to ignore intra-cell interference in updating the transmit vector for uplink and the receive vector for downlink. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms achieve higher sum rates than the conventional algorithms for given iteration numbers when multiple antennas and a single carrier are used for interference alignment. It is also shown that the proposed algorithms outperform the conventional algorithms when a single antenna and multiple subcarriers are used for interference alignment.
