  • In the vehicle communication system, transferred information is needed to be detected as possible as fast in order to inform car status located in front and rear side. Through the moving vehicle information, we can avoid the crash caused by sudden break of front one or acquire to real time traffic data to check the detour road. To be connecting the wireless communication between the vehicles, fast timing synchronization can be a key factor. Finding out the sync point fast is able to have more marginal time to compensate the distorted signals caused by channel variance. Thus, we introduce the combination method which helps find out the start of frame quickly. It is executed by auto-correlation and cross-correlation simultaneously using only short preambles. With taking the absolute value at the implemented synch block output, the proposed method shows much better system performance to us.

  • In modern wireless communication systems including beamformers or location-based services (LBS), which employ multiple antenna elements, estimating the number of signals is essential for accurately determining the quality of the communication service. Representative signal number estimation algorithms including the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and minimum description length (MDL) algorithms, which are information theoretical criterion models, determine the number of signals based on a reference value that minimizes each criterion. In general, increasing the number of elements mounted onto the array antenna enhances the performance of estimating the number of signals; however, it increases the computational complexity of the estimation algorithm. In addition, various configurations of array antennas for the increased number of antenna elements should be considered to efficiently utilize them in a limited location. In this paper, we introduce an efficient signal number estimation algorithm based on the beamspace based AIC and MDL techniques that reduce the computational complexity by reducing the dimension of a uniform circular array antenna. Since this algorithm is based on a uniform circular array antenna, it presents the advantages of a circular array antenna. The performance of the proposed signal number estimation algorithm is evaluated through computer simulation examples.

  • 본 논문은 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) 기반 cognitive radio (CR) 시스템에서 시간 옵셋에 강인한 정수 주파수 옵셋 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 하나의 OFDM 심볼 내에 위치하는 연속 파일럿과 각 연속 파일럿에 가장 인접한 분산 파일럿 간의 샘플 거리가 미리 결정된 거리 중 한 값이라는 특징을 이용한다. 우선, 연속 파일럿과 가장 인접한 분산 파일럿 간의 상관값을 구한 후, 이 값들을 샘플 거리 별로 분류한다. 같은 샘플 거리를 갖는 상관값들은 동일한 시간 옵셋의 영향을 가지므로, 이 값들끼리의 재상관 과정을 통해 시간 옵셋의 영향을 제거할 수 있다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 기법은 기존 기법과 비교하였을 때 시간 옵셋에 강인하게 정수 주파수 옵셋을 추정함을 확인할 수 있다.

  • 본 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속 방식(Orhogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 상향 링크 시스템에서 best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)의 원리에 기반한 시간 동기 추정 알고리즘을 소개하며, 이 알고리즘을 기반으로 하여, 추정범위 제한 문제를 해결하기 위한 개선된 시간추정 기법을 추가적으로 제안한다. 새로운 추정 알고리즘은 인접한 부반송파 간의 차등 상관관계를 이용하여 주파수 축에서 시간 오차를 추정한다. 차등 상관관계는 시간 오차를 포함한 위상 정보를 나타내고, 채널의 주파수 선택적 특성에 의한 신호 왜곡을 완화시킨다. 기존의 추정 방법과 비교하여 제안된 추정 알고리즘은 비교적 정확한 추정 성능을 보인다. 실험 결과는 제안된 추정기가 상대적으로 작은 오차의 평균과 분산을 가지는 것을 확인하여 준다. 또한 실험은 신호 대 잡음비의 크기가 0에서 20 dB 사이일 때, 시간 추정 오차에 의한 제안된 추정기의 신호 대 잡음비 열화 정도가 0.4 dB 이하인 것을 보여준다. 따라서 제안된 동기 알고리즘은 OFDMA 상향 링크 시스템에서 다중 사용자의 시간동기추정에 적합하다.

  • We consider the problem of low-sampling rate high-resolution channel estimation and timing for digital ultrawideband (UWB) receivers. We extend some of our recent results in sampling of certain classes of parametric non-bandlimited signals and develop a frequency domain method for channel estimation and synchronization in ultra-wideband systems, which uses sub-Nyquist uniform sampling and well-studied computational procedures. In particular, the proposed method can be used for identification of more realistic channel models, where different propagation paths undergo different frequency-selective fading. Moreover, we show that it is possible to obtain high-resolution estimates of all relevant channel parameters by sampling a received signal below the traditional Nyquist rate. Our approach leads to faster acquisition compared to current digital solutions, allows for slower A/D converters, and potentially reduces power consumption of digital UWB receivers significantly.

  • Location-based services are used as core services in various fields. In particular, in the field of public services such as emergency rescue, accurate location estimation technology is very important. Recently, the technology of tracking the location of self-isolation subjects for COVID-19 has become a major issue. Therefore, location estimation technology using personal smart devices is being studied in various ways, and the most widely used method is to use GPS. Other representative methods are using Wi-Fi, Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons, and LTE signals. In this paper, we introduced a positioning technology using deep learning based on LTE Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) data, and confirmed the possibility through an outdoor location estimation experiment using a commercial LTE signal.

  • A variety of methods for indoor positioning systems have been underway to ensure the safety of emergency rescuers who are working in dangerous situations such as fire fighters. However, since most systems display locations of rescue workers in two-dimension (2D)-based maps, it is difficult for a commander located in the outside to recognize locations of rescuers inside the building intuitively. An augmented reality (AR)-based indoor positioning monitoring system can display locations of rescuer inside the building that can be seen by commanders to help intuitive recognition of positioning. To monitor AR-based indoor positioning, it is necessary to have an estimation technique of line of sight vector of observers. In the present study, an estimation technique of a line of sight vector using ultra-wide band tranceiver installed inside the indoor to trace locations is presented.

  • Several experiments were carried out to analyze the impact of the modernized Global Positioning System (GPS) L2C signal on pseudorange-based point positioning. Three dual-frequency positioning algorithms, ionosphere-free linear combination, ionospheric error estimation, and simple integration, were used, and the results were compared with those of Standard Point Positioning (SPP). An analysis was conducted to determine the characteristics of each dual-frequency positioning method, the impact of the magnitude of ionospheric error, and receiver grade. Ionosphere-free and ionospheric error estimation methods can provide improved positioning accuracy relative to SPP because they are able to significantly reduce the ionospheric error. However, this result was possible only when the ionospheric error reduction effect was greater than the disadvantage of these dual-frequency positioning algorithms such as the increment of multipath and noise, impact of uncertainty of unknown parameter estimation. The RMSE of the simple integration algorithm was larger than that of SPP, because of the remaining ionospheric error. Even though the receiver grade was different, similar results were observed.

  • 본 논문에서는 STO(Symbol Timing Offset)를 갖는 cooperative SFBC-OFDM 시스템에 적합한 파일럿 톤 기반의 채널 추정 기법을 제안한다. Cooperative SFBC-OFDM 시스템에서는 MS(Mobile Station)의 위치에 따라 RS(Relay Station)와 MS간 STO가 다르게 발생하며 이 STO가 위상 회전 형태로 왜곡을 발생시키기 때문에 orthogonal 파일럿 사용시 위상과 크기에 대하여 선형 보간을 취하여 채널을 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 orthogonal code를 사용하는 파일럿 구조에서는 비선형 방정식의 해를 구함으로써 채널 추정을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. STO를 갖는 cooperative SFBC-OFDM 시스템에서 제안된 기법을 적용할 경우에 채널 추정 성능이 크게 개선될 수 있음을 모의실험을 통하여 확인한다.
