IEEE 802.16 standard(WiMAX) is one of 3.5G/4G wireless technologies and there are many systems based on the standard. Each frame of the systems begins with a preamble for synchronization and channel estimation, etc. IEEE 802.16 standard defines a total of 114 preamble sequences. By the way there are some systems(such as mobile multi-hop relay) that require using more than 114 preamble sequences. So we define 114 additional preamble sequences in this paper. And we evaluate PAPR and cross-correlation performance of them to decide to be usable as a preamble.

In this paper, we propose an integer frequency offset estimation and compensation method based on PLC preamble correlation in DOCSIS 3.1 Downstream system. The proposed method determines the PLC preamble subcarrier location recovered from PLC data and the one obtained from PLC preamble correlation. We showed the performance of PLC preamble detection in the received signal through the maximum value detection of PLC preamble correlation. Thus we can estimate and compensate for the integer frequency offset by computing the difference of PLC subcarrier locations.

This paper proposes a symbol synchronization method in the IEEE 802.11a wireless OPDM system, which uses only signs of the in-phase and the quadrature signals in the short preamble. The short preamble is sampled with 2 tines of Nyquist sampling rate and both of the autocorrelation and the cross-relation are used in the proposed method. This method has some advantages that the ACG (Automatic Gain Control) can be processed concurrently during the short preamble and its implementation is not much complicated. The proposed symbol synchronization method is verified through simulations on frequency offset, multi-path and white Gaussian noise.

In this paper, we propose a high speed preamble searcher feasible for RACH(Random Access Channel) preamble structure in WCDMA reverse link receiver. Unlike IS-95, WCDMA system uses AISMA(Acquisition Indication Sense Multiple Access) process. Because of the time limit between RACH preamble transmission and AI(Acquisition Indicators), and the restriction on the number of RACH signatures assigned to RACH preamble, fast acquisition indication is required for efficient operation. The preamble searcher proposed in this paper is based on 2-antenna system and has adopted FHT algorithm that has the radix-2 16 point FFT structure. The acquisition speed using FHT is 64 times faster than the conventional method that correlates each signature. Based on their fast aquisition scheme, we improved the acquisition performance by calculating the correlation up to the 4096 chips of the total preamble length. The performance is analyzed by using Neyman-pearson method. The proposed algorithm has been applied for the implementation of WCDMA reverse link receiver modem successfully.

The frame synchronization should be acquired before performing other data-aided receiving algorithms, such as data-aided channel equalizing, beam-forming and phase, symbol timing, and frequency synchronizing, since all of them are using preamble or training sequence to estimate the amount of error from the received signal. In this paper, we present a new frame synchronization scheme for underwater ultrasonic image burst transmission system, which computes the correlation between received symbol sequence and one CAZAC sequence, composed of the latter half of the first CAZAC sequence of preamble and the first half of the second CAZAC sequence of preamble and then compares a threshold value. If the correlation value is bigger than the threshold value, the frame detector determines that the frame synchronization is achieved at that sample.

휴대 인터넷은 이동 중에도 무선으로 고속의 데이터 송수신이 가능한 통신 서비스로서 우리나라에서는 WiBro(Wireless Broadband)라고 명명되어 2006년 6월 상용 서비스를 시작하였다. 한국 정보 통신 기술협회(TTA)와 IEEE802.16e 표준에서 제시된 휴대인터넷 서비스는 기본적으로 기지국과 단말을 기반으로 한 CDMA통신 시스템과 유사한 셀룰러 망 구조를 가지고 있다. 와이브로에서 모든 RAS(Radio Access Station)는 매 5msec마다 프레임을 전송하고, 이 프레임의 앞 단에는 Preamble이 위치하고 있어 기지국과 단말의 Synchronization을 가능케 해준다. 각 RAS는 서로 다른 Preamble을 사용하므로 단말은 Preamble detection을 통해 기지국을 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 휴대인터넷을 이용한 무선측위의 해상도 및 가청성을 현장실험을 통하여 분석한다. 현재 상용화 되어 사용중인Wibro 신호를 기저대역으로 낮추고 이 신호를 디지타이저를 사용하여 20MHz의 샘플링 주파수로 수집한다. 5msec 주기의 Wibro프레임 중에서 Preamble을 Correlation detection 기법을 사용하여 기지국과 단말 사이의 relative delay를 측정하여 기지국들과 단말 사이의 거리의 차를 구한다. 거리측정치를 이용하여 Wibro 망에서의 무선측위 추정치를 구하고 해상도와 정확도 및 가청성 등의 Wibro의 측위성능을 분석한다.

We propose how to improve the performance of TOA estimation in UWB MB-OFDM systems. The scheme is based on the correlation between the OFDM preamble and the template signal. The validity of the proposed scheme is shown using the simulation results, where it is shown that the performance of the proposed scheme outperforms that of the existing schemes

An efficient symbol time synchronization scheme for IEEE 802.11n MIMO-OFDM based WLAN systems using cyclic shift diversity (CSD) preamble is proposed. CSD is used to prevent unintentional beamforming when the same preamble signal is transmitted through transmit antennas. However, it is difficult to find a proper starting-point of the OFDM symbol with the conventional algorithms because of time offset by multi-peaks which are result from cross-correlation of received CSD preamble with a known short training symbol. In addition, the performance of symbol time sync. is affected by AGC and packet detection position. In this paper, an optimal symbol time synch. algorithm which is composed of the boundary detection scheme between LTS and OFDM symbols, the verification scheme for enhancement of boundary detection accuracy, and the SNR-varying threshold estimation scheme is proposed. Simulation result show that the proposed algorithm has performance gains of 4.3dB in SNR compared to the conventional algorithms at the rate of 1% sync. failure probability for $2{\times}2$ MIMO-OFDM system and 18dB at 0.1% when maximum frequency offset exists. It also can be applied to $4{\times}4$ MIMO-OFDM system without any modification. Hence, it is very suitable for MIMO-OFDM WLAN systems using CSD preamble.

In uplink cable modem link operated in time-division multiple access mode, it is crucial to employ a suitable preamble pattern enabling frame detection, coarse timing/carrier recovery. Preamble pattern based on the constant envelope zero autocorrelation sequence is proposed for the uplink cable modem compliant to the data over cable service interface specification. Frame detection, coarse/fine timing and carrier recovery algorithms suitable for the proposed preamble pattern are also proposed. We check up the performances using numerical results.

Beamforming technique at the ground station is known to be effective in obtaining coverage extension or SNR gain for communication with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). When a UAV moves, periodic beam tracking is necessary to maintain beam gain. In order to track beams for multiple UAVs, the ground station needs to receive different preamble sequences from multiple UAVs. In this paper, a preamble sequence design technique is proposed for beam tracking in a GMSK-based communication system with multiple UAVs. Hadamard sequence is considered for the design of preamble sequence due to its ideal cross-correlation property. A preamble sequence appropriate for a GMSK communication system with multiple UAVs is proposed after analyzing the properties of received signal in a GMSK system with the input of Hadamard sequence.
