In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), SU (secondary user)'s transmissions are frequently disrupted by PU (primary user)'s transmission. Therefore SU expereiences consecutive retransmission timeout and its exponential backoff, and subsequently, the TCP of SU does not proceed with the transmission even after the disruption is over or the SU succeeds to hold an idle channel. In order to solve this problem, we propose a cross-layer approach called TCP-Freeze-CR. Moreover we consider a practical scenario where either secondary transmitter (ST) or secondary receiver (SR) detects PU's transmission, which results in the need of spectrum synchronization mechanism. All of our proposals are implemented and verified with a real CRN testbed consisting of 6 software radios called USRP. The experimental results illustrate that standard TCP suffers from significant performance degradation and show that TCP-Freeze-CR greatly mitigates the degradation.

본 논문에서는 SDR (Software Defined Radio)시스템을 위한 디지털 IF (Intermediate Frequency)수신기를 구현하였다[1][2]. 구현된 수신기의 하드웨어 구조는 AD변환부, PDC(Programmable Down Converter)부, DSP (Digital Signal Processing)부분으로 이루어졌다. AD변환부는 Analog Devices사의 AD6644를 이용하여 아날로그 신호를14bit의 디지털 신호로 변환된다. PDC부분은 Intersil사의 HSP 50214B를 이용하여 14bit 샘플 된 IF(Intermediate Frequency)입력을 혼합기와 NCO(Numerically Controlled Oscillator)에 의해 기저대역으로 다운 시키는 역할을 한다. PDC는 CIC (Cascaded Integrator Comb)필터, Halfband 필터 그리고 프로그램할 수 있는 FIR필터로 구성되어 있다. 그리고 PDC부분을 제어하고 PDC부분에서 처리할 수 없는 캐리어, 심볼 트래킹을 위해 Texas Instrument사의 16비트의 고정소수점 DSP인 TMS320C5416과 Altera사의 FPGA를 사용하였다. 그러므로 중간주파수 대역과 기저대역 간의 신호변환을 디지털 신호처리를 수행함으로써 일반적인 아날로그 처리방식보다 고도의 유연성과 고성능 동작이 가능하고 시간과 환경 변화에 우수한 동작 특성을 제공한다.

For a satellite data communication, the technology of frame synchronization is widely used between a sender and a receiver. Last year, we suggested zero-loss frame synchronization [1] using pattern search and using bits threshold search algorithm that is based on SIMD technology [2,3]. This algorithm could solve both of hardware and software drawbacks, which are frame loss and low processing performance. However, this algorithm didn't optimize the processing of output data, synchronized data, which caused overhead to the memory allocation and the memory copy. Consequently, the performance of the frame synchronizer application was degraded. In this paper, we enhance previous work using a circular buffer in order to optimize the output data processing. The performance comparison with the previous algorithm shows that the enhanced proposed approach dramatically outperforms in the output data processing speed.

In this paper, we propose an angle-of-arrival (AoA)-based local positioning system using a time-modulated array (TMA). The proposed system can determine a two-dimensional position using only two TMAs without any synchronization between the two receivers. The hardware for the proposed system consists of two commercial monopole antennas, a self-designed switch, and a well-known software-defined radio receiver. Furthermore, the location can be simply estimated in real time without the need for complicated positioning algorithms such as the MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms. In order to evaluate the performance of our system, we estimated the position of the wireless node in an office environment. The position was estimated with a mean error of less than 0.1 m. We therefore believe that our system is appropriate for various wireless local positioning applications.

HSPA(High Speed Packet Access)/HSPA+ is a combined 3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project) standard of HSDPA(High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access). The standard can provide the high speed multimedia service against the 3GPP release 99 standard. In order to test the 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal performance, the measurement hardware is required for the evaluate the transmitted signal of HSPA/HSPA+ terminals. Agilent Technologies and Innowireless produce the measurement equipments for HSPA/HSPA+ terminals. Generally speaking, the receiving algorithms in normal modems cannot be used directly to the measurement system due to the lack of the algorithm accuracy. In this paper, we propose the new receiver algorithm for precise measurement of 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal signal, and implement measurement functionality for performance measurement of the 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ terminal by using software. The proposed 3GPP HSPA/HSPA+ signal measurement algorithm can be used for the commercial system through code execution speed optimization.

A graphic processing unit (GPU) can perform the same calculation on multiple data (SIMD: single instruction multiple data) using hundreds of to thousands of special purpose processors for graphic processing. Thus, high efficiency is expected when GPU is used for the generation and correlation of satellite navigation signals, which perform generation and processing by applying the same calculation procedure to tens of millions of discrete signal samples per second. In this study, the structure of a GPU-based GNSS simulator for the generation and processing of satellite navigation signals was designed, developed, and verified. To verify the developed satellite navigation signal generator, generated signals were applied to the OEM-V3 receiver of Novatel Inc., and the measured values were examined. To verify the satellite navigation signal processor, the performance was examined by collecting and processing actual GNSS intermediate frequency signals. The results of the verification indicated that satellite navigation signals could be generated and processed in real time using two GPUs.

There are a few core technologies to enable high-performance $4^{th}$ generation (4G) broadband wireless communication system. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) provides high-rate transmission through expended channels by multiple array antennas in both sender and receiver side. Also orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is well-known as the most appropriate technique for high data rate transmission such as Mobile WiMAX and WLAN. Efficient decrease of inter-carrier interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) are the reasons for why OFDM is suitable for high-performance transmission, 4G mobile communication. In this paper, we mainly focus on two of objects, combination between MIMO and OFDM, and OFDM channel simulator using Ray-tracing algorithm. The results of this paper can be used implementation of a Wireless Software Platform for 4G Mobile Communication Systems.

This study verified the limitations of commercial GPS data processing software and the applicability on precise positioning through comparing the processing results between Bernese and TGO under various conditions. To achieve the goal, we selected three nationwide station data and two smaller local data to constitute networks. By using Bernese and TGO, those networks are processed through the baseline analysis and the network adjustment. The comparative analysis was carried out, in terms of software, baseline length and network scale, observation duration, and number of fixed points. In the comparison between softwares, the scientific software was excellent in accuracy. It was confirmed that, as GPS-related technology is developed, the performance of the receiver was enhanced. And, in parallel with this, even the functionalities of the commercial software were tremendously enhanced. The difference, however, in result between the scientific and commercial software are still exist even if it is not big. Therefore, this study confirms that the scientific software should be used when the most precise position is necessary to be computed, especially if baseline vectors are big.

Software defined radio(SDR) has a goal that places the analog-to-digital converter(ADC) as near the antenna as possible. But current technique actually can't do analog-to-digital converting about RF band signals. So one method is studying that samples RF band signals to IF band. One of the ways Sub-Sampling technique can convert signals from RF band to IF band without oscillator. If Sub-Sampling technique is used, over 2 bands can convert signals from RF band to IF band. But due to the filter performance in RF band, it is possible to generate interference between signals that is converted in low frequency band. The effect degrades performance. In this paper, we propose one method that uses time division multiplexing(TDM) method as a solution to avoid interference between signals. By doing TDM and Sub-Sampling at the same time that method can get signals without large changes of structures.
