Green communication is a new paradigm of designing the communication system which considers not only the processing performance but also the energy efficiency. Power control management is one of the approaches in green communication to reduce the power consumption in distributed communication system. In this paper, we propose improved power control schemes for mobile satellite systems with ancillary terrestrial components (ATCs). In order to increase system capacity and reduce the transmitting power of the user's equipment, we propose an efficient channel estimation method consisting of a modified open-loop power control (OLPC) and closed-loop power control (CLPC). The OLPC works well if the forward and reverse links are perfectly correlated. The CLPC is sensitive to round-trip delay and, therefore, it is not effective in a mobile satellite system. In order to solve the above problem, we added monitoring equipment to both the OLPC and CLPC to use information about transmitting power that has not yet been received by the receiver over the satellite/ATC channel. Moreover, we adapted an efficient pilot diversity of both OLPC and CLPC in order to get a better signal to interference plus noise ratio estimation of the received signal.

In an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, conventional interpolation techniques cannot correctly balance performance and overhead when estimating dynamic long-delay channels in single frequency networks (SFNs). In this study, classical filter analysis and design methods are employed to derive a complex interpolator for maximizing the resistible echo delay in a channel estimator on the basis of the correlation between frequency domain interpolating and time domain windowing. The coefficient computation of the complex interpolator requires a key parameter, i.e., channel length, which is obtained in the frequency domain with a tentative estimation scheme having low implementation complexity. The proposed complex adaptive interpolator is verified in a simulated digital video broadcasting for terrestrial/handheld receiver. The simulation results indicate that the designed channel estimator can not only handle SFN echoes with more than $200{\mu}s$ delay but also achieve a bit-error rate performance close to the optimum minimum mean square error method, which significantly outperforms conventional channel estimation methods, while preserving a low implementation cost in a short-delay channel.

Moreover, we adapted an efficient pilot diversity of both OLPC and CLPC in order to get a better signal to interference plus noise ratio (SIR) estimation of the received signal.

In the grand alliance (GA) HDTV receiver, a coherent detection is empolyed for coherent demodulation of vestigial side-band (VSB) signal by using frequency and phaselocked loop(FPLL) operating on the pilot carrier. Additional phase tracking loop (PTL) employed to track out phase noise that has not been removed by the FPLL in theGA system. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for phase detection which utilizes a weighting function. The simplest implementation of the proposed algorithm using te sign of the Q channel component can be tractable by imposing a phase detection gain to the loop gain. It is obserbed that the propsoed algorithm has a robust characteristic against the performance of the digital filters used for Q channel estimation. A second goal of this paper is to introduce a gain control algorithm for the PTL in order to provide an effective implementation of the proposed phase detection algorithm. And we design the PTL through the realization of the simplified digital filter for H/W reduction. The proposed algorithms and the designed PTL are evaluated by computer simulation. In spite of using the simplified H/W structure, simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the coventional PTL algorithms in the phase detection and tracking performance.

본 논문은 DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) 방송 시스템에서 사용되고 있는 전송방식인 COFDM 복조기에서의 디매퍼의 성능 개선 방법에 관한 것이다. BER의 관점에서 보는 시스템의 성능을 높이기 위하여 pilots정보를 바탕으로 채널상태정보를 생성시켜 이를 이용하는 디매핑 방법을 제안하였다. 채널상태정보는 수신된 캐리어들 중의 pilots 캐리어로부터 얻을 수 있는데, 이것은 바로 수신된 데이터 캐리어의 SNR로 정의된다. DVB-T의 표준 fading 채널 환경의 실험을 통한 BER을 측정한 결과 각종 모드에서 기존의 soft decision방법보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.

This paper investigates the design and performance of a digital on-channel repeater (DOCR) for use in Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television (DTV) broadcasting. The main drawback of a DOCR is the echo interference caused by coupling between transmitter and receiver antennas, which induces system instability and performance degradation. In order to overcome this problem, an echo canceller based on the adaptive echo channel estimation (ECE) technique has been researched and applied for a DOCR. However, in the case of ATSC, the pilot signal, which is used for carrier synchronization, may cause a DC offset error and reduce the isolation performance of the echo canceller for a DOCR in an ATSC network. Moreover, since the multipath fading effect of a radio channel usually occurs in a real environment, it should be minimized to improve the overall performance of a DOCR. Therefore, due to the limited isolation performance of echo canceller and the multipath fading effect, an interference cancellation system (ICS) is proposed for a DOCR in an ATSC network. The performance of the proposed DOCR with an ICS is evaluated by software simulation and hardware test results.

As an alternative to the traditional pilot-aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), the time-domain pseudonoise (PN)-padded OFDM provides a higher spectral efficiency. However, the carrier frequency offset (CFO) attenuates peaks of the conventional PN correlation output, which limits the CFO estimation range of the OFDM synchronizer. An improved correlation is proposed in this letter to remove the CFO-induced amplitude attenuation of correlation peaks. For a synchronizer adopting the designed correlator, a larger range of CFO acquisition is obtained through using wider correlation windows with a smaller interval between them. The proposed method of CFO acquisition is verified in a digital terrestrial multimedia broadcast receiver, in which the synchronizer is able to acquire CFOs up to ${\pm}320$ kHz in the DVB-T F1 channel. Furthermore, the acquisition range can be expanded in more favorable channels.

본 연구에서는 채널추정 에러와 다중 전송률 서비스를 고려하여 다중 엑세스포인트 전송전력제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실제 통신시스템에서는 1) 채널추정을 위해 사용하는 파일럿심볼의 갯수가 제한적이기 때문에, 수신단에서 채널추정이 완전하지 않으며, 2) 다중 전송률 서비스가 지원된다. 먼저, 제안하는 알고리즘이 다중 전송률 서비스 환경에서도 유일한 최소전력에 수렴함이 보장됨을 이론적으로 증명한다. 제안하는 전송전력제어 알고리즘은 하나의 내부루프와 하나의 외부루프로 구성된다. 실험결과를 통해 1) 내부루프 알고리즘은 전송전력 레벨의 수렴과 다중 전송률 서비스를 보장하고, 2) 외부루프 알고리즘은 채널추정 에러를 보상할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A spectrally encapsulated (SE) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) precoding scheme for wireless short packet transmission, which can suppress the out-of-band emission (OoBE) while maintaining the advantage of the cyclic prefix (CP)-OFDM, is proposed. The SE-OFDM symbol consists of a prefix, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) symbol, and a suffix generated by the head, center, and tail matrices, respectively. The prefix and suffix play the roles of a guard interval and suppress the OoBE, and the IFFT symbol has the same size as the discrete Fourier transform symbol in the CP-OFDM symbol and serves as an information field. Specifically, as the center matrix generating the IFFT symbol is orthogonal, data and pilot symbols can be allocated to any subcarrier without distinction. Even if the proposed precoder is required to generate OFDM symbols with spectral efficiency in the transmitter, a corresponding decoder is not required in the receiver. The proposed scheme is compared with CP-OFDM in terms of spectrum, OoBE, and bit-error rate.

원활한 수중 디지털 통신을 위해 데이터 신호는 물리계층 단위의 프레임으로 전송되고, 채널 추정을 위한 프레임 내의 파일릿 간격은 수중 통신 환경에 맞게 설계되어야 한다. 본 논문은 주파수와 시간에 따른 수중 채널 변화에 관련된 상관 대역폭과 상관 시간에 대하여 기술하고 실제 동해 천해환경에서의 실험을 통해 상관 대역폭과 상관 시간 값들을 산출하였다. 그리고 파일럿 간격의 변화에 따른 실제 수중 통신의 비트 오류율 변화를 구함으로써 산출한 결과가 적절함을 보였다.
