유선 Relay Station(RS)은 셀룰러 시스템의 기지국(Base Station; BS)과 Radio-over-Fiber(RoF) 형태로 연결되어 시스템의 용량을 증대시키고 음영 지역을 축소시키는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 무선 멀티홉 시스템과는 달리 별도의 대역으로 BS와 RS 간 신호 전송을 함에 따라, 주파수 재사용으로 인한 간섭의 영향을 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 RS를 활용하는 셀룰러 시스템에서 안테나 어레이를 부가적으로 사용하는 경우 전송 용량 측면에서의 이득을 산출하고, 셀 내에 배치하는 안테나 어레이의 구성에 따른 성능 변화를 분석한다. 특히 성능 향상을 최대화하는 RS 위치의 선정, 주어진 안테나 원소 개수에 따른 배치 형태 결정, 안테나 원소의 개수 증가에 따른 성능 이득을 실험적으로 평가함으로써, 유선 RS와 안테나 어레이의 통합 활용 방안을 제시한다.

Single-user spectrum sensing is susceptible to multipath effects, shadow effects, hidden terminals and other unfavorable factors, leading to misjudgment of perceived results. In order to increase the detection accuracy and reduce spectrum sensing cost, we propose an adaptive cooperative sensing strategy based on an estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Which can adaptive select different sensing strategy during the local sensing phase. When the estimated SNR is higher than the selection threshold, adaptive double threshold energy detector (ED) is implemented, otherwise cyclostationary feature detector is performed. Due to the fact that only a better sensing strategy is implemented in a period, the detection accuracy is improved under the condition of low SNR with low complexity. The local sensing node transmits the perceived results through the control channel to the fusion center (FC), and uses voting rule to make the hard decision. Thus the transmission bandwidth is effectively saved. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the system detection probability, shorten the average sensing time, and has better robustness without largely increasing the costs of sensing system.

Due to the unavailability of global positioning system (GPS) indoors, various indoor pedestrian positioning methods have been designed to estimate the position of the user using received signal strength (RSS) measurements from radio beacons, such as wireless fidelity (WiFi) access points and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons. In indoor environments, radio-frequency (RF) signals are unpredictable and change over space and time because of multipath associated with reflection and refraction, shadow fading caused by obstacles, and interference among different devices using the same frequencies. Therefore, the outliers in the positional information obtained from the indoor positioning method based on RSS measurements occur often. For this reason, the performance of the positioning method can be degraded by the characteristics of the RF signal. To resolve this issue, a map-matching (MM) algorithm based on maximum probability (MP) estimation is applied to the indoor positioning method in this study. The MM algorithm locates the aberrant position of the user estimated by the positioning method within the limits of the adjacent pedestrian passages. Empirical experiments show that the positioning method can achieve higher positioning accuracy by leveraging the MM algorithm.

이 논문은 휴대인터넷 통신 네트워크 구조 변경으로 커버리지 확대 및 음영지역 해소, 그리고 핸드오버 성능 향상에 관한 논문이다. 마이크로 셀 내의 RAS(Radio Access Station)를 중심으로 SS(Subscriber Station)와의 거리가 멀어질수록 전파감쇄로 인하여 통신환경의 질이 64QAM, 16QAM 그리고 QPSK로 떨어지게 된다. 그 결과 Throughput의 저하는 물론이고, 여러면에서 통신 품질의 질도 떨어지게 된다. 실제로 휴대인터넷의 대부분의 지역은 환경이 좋지 않은 QPSK 지역으로 사용자 대부분은 이러한 지역에서 휴대인터넷을 사용하게 된다. 그 결과 사용자들은 많은 불만을 가지게 될 것이다. 이런 셀 내의 통신환경으로 인한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 RS(Relay Station)를 적용하여 셀의 커버리지 확대는 물론이고, 통신환경을 향상시켜 핸드오버 호 블록킹 성능 향상을 시키는데 그 목적이 있다.

In layered communication architecture, each layer is designed to service its own functions to higher layer while getting serviced by lower layer. Usually layered architectures are not optimized in a total view of whole services and functions. So cross layer design pursues performance enhancements by optimizing in various ways. In LTE, MAC layer uses HARQ mechanism and RLC layer uses ARQ mechanism for retransmission. According to the 3GPP 36.331 specification, two layers' cooperation may not happen in an optimized way. This paper suggests an adaptive MAC layer approach which RLC layer's function might be initiated in MAC layer in advance to utilize MAC layer's idling wasting time for RLC layer's next decision. This adaptive ARQ method in MAC layer speeds up the next retransmission and reduces the overall transmission time. Emulation shows the improved performance in total retransmission time and retransmission success ratio. In wireless shadow area, the retransmission occurs frequently. Our approach has strong points in this poor wireless condition.

다변측량법은 위치가 알려진 3개 이상의 지점으로부터 대상까지의 거리 정보를 바탕으로 대상의 위치를 계산하는 기법이다. Real Time Locating Systems (RTLS) 에서는 대상의 위치를 파악하기 위해 다변측량 기법을 주로 사용하는데, 이를 위해서는 리더와 대상과의 거리 정보가 3개 이상 필요하다. 그러나 항만 환경처럼 시설물 설치가 어렵고 장애물도 많은 넓은 지역에서는 음영지역이 다수 존재하여 이러한 조건을 항상 만족시키기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 다변측량이 불가능한 적은 수의 거리 정보만으로 대상의 위치를 파악할 수 있도록 대상의 동선 정보를 이용하는 동선 정보 기반의 측위 기법을 제안한다. 성능 평가 결과 최소자승법만을 사용했을 때보다 평균 측위 오차가 약 3m, 표준 편차가 6m 줄었으며, 측위 성공률이 4.6 배 이상 높아졌다.

Signal distortion due to the path loss, shadow, and multi-path fading is very serious in radio channel. In this paper, we propose CDMA-OFDM cooperative communication system based on DFP(Decode and Forward Protocol) to overcome these phenomena using spread spectrum technique, orthogonal sub-carrier, and the space diversity. We simulated proposed system under Rayleigh flat fading channel environment. A variety of simulation results reveal the cooperation can provide performance gain of up to 12 dB over direct communications in ideal inter-user case at BER of $10^{-3}$. And we can also confirm variation of diversity effect as channel environment changes.

WiBro radio frequency (RF) repeater is used for solving the problem of partial shadow areas in the wireless communication field that uses time-division duplexing (TDD) mode. In this paper, a method to efficiently generate TDD signals for WiBro RF repeater is proposed and its digital circuit is implemented. A TDD signal is detected from RF signals transmitted/received to/from RF repeater and then inputted again into the RF repeater, so that it can operate normally. First, the envelope of downlink signals is detected and then clamped to extract the basic form of a TDD signal using an operational amplifier circuit. Next, the TDD signal is generated by restoring and filtering the shape which has been distorted by the wireless channel. The algorithm and system to acquire TDD signal are developed with a goal to have simple but powerful functions with as little cost as possible. The proposed method is implemented as an RF-digital integrated system and verified through the experiments under the same condition as actual WiBro service environment.

To study the feasibility of applying wireless communication technology to the control of train for the effective control of train and for the reduction of cost and time to construct the necessary infra structure, we investigate into the application of the existing commercial WCDMA network to CBTC (communication-based train control) to grasp the obstacles and propose the solutions to circumvent them. The obstacles can be categorized into the hand-off problem, the interference problem near the stations, and the problem of radio shadow areas. We propose, as solutions, the cell overlap method and multi-terminal approach for the hand-off problem, the cell sectoring method for the interference problem, and establishment of new base stations along the railroad both to provide the wireless train control and communication service to the customers on the train which was otherwise impossible because of the shadowing effect.

Flexible inverters based on complementary thin-film transistor (CTFTs) are important because they have low power consumption and other advantages over single type TFT inverters. In addition, integrated CTFTs in flexible electronic circuits on low-cost, large area and mechanically flexible substrates have potentials in various applications such as radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs), sensors, and backplanes for flexible displays. In this work, we introduce flexible complementary inverters using pentacene and amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) for the p-channel and n-channel, respectively. The CTFTs were fabricated on polyimide (PI) substrate. Firstly, a thin poly-4-vinyl phenol (PVP) layer was spin coated on PI substrate to make a smooth surface with rms surface roughness of 0.3 nm, which was required to grow high quality IGZO layers. Then, Ni gate electrode was deposited on the PVP layer by e-beam evaporator. 400-nm-thick PVP and 20-nm-thick ALD Al2O3 dielectric was deposited in sequence as a double gate dielectric layer for high flexibility and low leakage current. Then, IGZO and pentacene semiconductor layers were deposited by rf sputter and thermal evaporator, respectively, using shadow masks. Finally, Al and Au source/drain electrodes of 70 nm were respectively deposited on each semiconductor layer using shadow masks by thermal evaporator. Basic electrical characteristics of individual transistors and the whole CTFTs were measured by a semiconductor parameter analyzer (HP4145B, Agilent Technologies) at room temperature in the dark. Performance of those devices then was measured under static and dynamic mechanical deformation. Effects of cyclic bending were also examined. The voltage transfer characteristics (Vout- Vin) and voltage gain (-dVout/dVin) of flexible inverter circuit were analyzed and the effects of mechanical bending will be discussed in detail.
