Spatial correlation is a result of insufficient antenna spacing among multiple antenna elements, while temporal correlation is caused by Doppler spread. This paper compares the effect of spatial and temporal correlation in order to investigate the performance of multiuser scheduling algorithms in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) broadcast channels. This comparison includes the effect on the ergodic capacity, on fairness among users, and on the sum-rate capacity of a multiuser scheduling algorithm utilizing statistical channel state information in spatio-temporally correlated MIMO broadcast channels. Numerical results demonstrate that temporal correlation is more meaningful than spatial correlation in view of the multiuser scheduling algorithm in MIMO broadcast channels. Indeed, the multiuser scheduling algorithm can reduce the effect of the Doppler spread if it exploits the information of temporal correlation appropriately. However, the effect of spatial correlation can be minimized if the antenna spacing is sufficient in rich scattering MIMO channels regardless of the multiuser scheduling algorithm used.

Turbo-coded CDMA system is analyzed and simulated in an indoor wireless infrared channel. The indoor infrared channel is modeled as a non-directed diffuse link. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the turbo coding is very effective in improving BER (bit error rate) performance, and outperforms BCH code.

Improvements in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have resulted in a large number of applications. WSNs have been mainly used for monitoring applications, but they are also applicable to target tracking, health care, and monitoring with multimedia data. Nodes are generally deployed in environments where the exhausted batteries of sensor nodes are difficult to charge or replace. The primary goal of communication protocols in WSNs is to maximize energy efficiency in order to prolong network lifetime. In this paper, various medium access control (MAC) protocols for synchronous/asynchronous and single/multi-channel WSNs are investigated. Single-channel MAC protocols are categorized into synchronous and asynchronous approaches, and the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol are presented. The different features required in multi-channel WSNs compared to single-channel WSNs are also investigated, and surveys on multi-channel MAC protocols proposed for WSNs are provided. Then, existing broadcast schemes in such MAC protocols and efficient multi-hop broadcast protocols proposed for WSNs are provided. The limitations and challenges in many communication protocols according to this survey are pointed out, which will help future researches on the design of communication protocols for WSNs.

A major challenge achieving scalable access control for a large number of subscribers in a public broadcast is to distribute key update messages reliably to all stateless receivers. However, in a public broadcast, the rekeying messages can be dropped or compromised during transmission over an insecure broadcast channel, or transmitted to receivers while they were off-line. In this study, we propose a novel group key management scheme. It features a mechanism to allow legitimate receivers to recover the current group key, even if they lose key update messages for long-term sessions. The scheme uses short hint messages and member computation. Performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme has the advantages of scalability and efficient rekeying compared to previous reliable group key distribution schemes. The proposed key management scheme targets a conditional access system in a media broadcast in which there is no feedback channel from receivers to the broadcasting station.

In this paper, we propose a new channel estimation scheme for amplify and forward cooperative diversity with relay selection. In order to select best relay, it is necessary to know channel state information (CSI) at the destination. Most of the previous works, however, assume that perfect CSI is available at the destination. In addition, when the number of relay is increased it is difficult to estimate CSI through all relays within coherence time of a channel because of the large amount of frame overhead for channel estimation. In a proposed channel estimation scheme, each terminal has distinct pilot signal which is orthogonal each other. By using orthogonal property of pilot signals, CSI is estimated over two pilot signal transmission phases so that frame overhead is reduced significantly. Due to the orthogonal property among pilot signals, estimation error does not depend on the number of relays. Simulation result shows that the proposed channel estimation scheme provides accurate CSI at the destination.

방송 디스크는 다수의 이동 클라이언트에게 정보를 전파하는 통신구조이다. 방송 디스크에서 서버는 데이터베이스에 저장된 모든 데이터를 연속적으로 방송하며, 클라이언트는 방송 채널을 감시하여 자신이 원하는 데이터를 수신한다. 이런 관점에서 방송 채널은 클라이언트가 데이터를 액세스할 수 있는 디스크의 역할을 담당한다. 본 논문에서는 서버에서 방송 데이터가 갱신될 경우, 클라이언트에서 실행되는 읽기 전용 트랜잭션의 정확성을 보장하기 위한 타임스탬프 기반 동시성 제어(Timestamp Based Concurrency Control: TCC) 기법을 제안한다. 기존에 제안된 동시성 제어 기법들은 트랜잭션의 철회율을 줄이기 위하여 추가적인 제어 정보들을 방송함으로써 방송 대역폭의 상당 부분을 소비한다는 단점을 갖는다. 이와는 달리, TCC는 방송 데이터의 타임스탬프 필드에 그 데이터를 갱신한 서버 트랜잭션들의 순서를 반영시키고, 이를 수신한 클라이언트에서는 타임스탬프를 이용하여 자신의 읽기 전용 트랜잭션의 정확성을 검사함으로써 보다 많은 트랜잭션 실행을 허용한다. 그 결과, TCC는 서버로부터 방송되는 제어 정보의 양을 최소화하면서 읽기 전용 트랜잭션의 철회율을 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다.

This paper represents analysis of field test results of terrestrial DTV on channel repeaters over Taejon city area. Two kind of on channel repeaters were tested. Non-regenerative repeater performs filtering, amplifying and re-transmit received main DTV signal. Regenerative repeater performs demodulation, modulation and amplifying and re-transmit received main DTV signal. The non-regenerative repeater threshold D/U ratio is about 10dB better than regenerative repeater's one.

Random Unitary Beamforming (RUB) 은 다중사용자 다중안테나 broadcast 채널에서 매우 간단하면서도 실제적인 전송 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 RUB의 형태를 확장시켜 공간다중화 이득을 얻을 수 있는 방법에 대해 고려하였다. 즉 수신기가 2개의 안테나를 가짐으로써 더 많은 데이터를 가지는 방법을 고려하였다. 이를 위해 송신기와 수신기의 새로운 코드북을 제안하고, 수신기에서 Minimum Mean Square Error Successive Interference Cancellation (MMSE-SIC) 기법을 사용함으로써 총 전송율이 증가함을 모의실험 결과를 통해 확인하였다.

Various air indexing and data scheduling schemes for wireless broadcast of spatial data have been developed for energy efficient query processing. The existing schemes are not effective when the clients' data access patterns are skewed to some items. It is because the schemes are based on flat broadcast that does not take the popularity of the data items into consideration. In this paper, thus, we propose a data scheduling scheme letting the popular items appear more frequently on the channel, and grid-based distributed index for non-flat broadcast (GDIN) for window query processing. The proposed GDIN allows quick and energy efficient processing of window query, matching the clients' linear channel access pattern and letting the clients access only the queried data items. The simulation results show that the proposed GDIN significantly outperforms the existing schemes in terms of access time, tuning time, and energy efficiency.

이 연구는 케이블TV SO의 지역채널 운영 현황과 이와 관련된 재허가 심사제도를 분석하는 데 연구목적이 있다. 다른 유료방송 플랫폼과 달리 SO에게만 부여하고 있는 지역채널 편성 의무는 케이블TV로 하여금 상당한 공익성을 담보하도록 요구하고 있지만, 방송시장의 경쟁이 가속화되는 환경 속에서는 이를 지속적으로 유지 발전시키기가 쉽지 않은 구조이다. 방송평가나 재허가제도가 지역채널의 존치를 담보하는 기제로 작용하고 있긴 하지만 실질적인 역할을 하는 데는 한계가 없지 않다. 이러한 문제의식 하에 세 가지의 연구문제를 설정하였으며, 문헌분석, 2차 자료 분석, 전문가 심층인터뷰 등의 방법론을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 지역채널은 SO마다 거의 종일편성이 이루어지고 있지만 순환편성의 비율이 점차 증가하고 있고, 제작비용은 감소하는 추세여서 질적인 측면에서는 퇴행적 조짐을 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재허가 심사의 방송평가 점수에서 지역채널 운영실적은 그다지 긍정적이지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 지금까지의 지역채널에 대한 정책기조에 변화를 가져올 필요가 있음을 의미한다고 할 수 있으며, 그에 따른 몇가지 정책대안을 제시하였다.
