In this paper, we present a secret key distribution protocol without resorting to a key management infrastructure targeting at providing a low-complexity distributed solution to wireless network. The proposed scheme extracts a secret key from the random fluctuation of wireless channels. By exploiting time division duplexing transmission, two legitimate users, Alice and Bob can have highly correlated channel gains due to channel reciprocity, and a pair of random bit sequences can be generated by quantizing the channel gains. We propose a novel adaptive quantization scheme that adjusts quantization thresholds according to channel variations and reduces the mismatch probability between generated bit sequences by Alice and Bob. BCH codes, as a low-complexity and pratical approach, are also employed to correct the mismatches between the pair of bit sequences and produce a secret key shared by Alice and Bob. To maximize the secret key extraction rate, the parameters, quantization levels and code rates of BCH codes are jointly optimized.

Recently, DVC (Distributed Video Coding) is attracting a lot of research works since this enables us to implement a light-weight video encoder by distributing the high complex tasks such as motion estimation into the decoder side. In order to improve the coding efficiency of the DVC, the existing works have been focused on the efficient generation of side information (SI) or the virtual channel modeling which can describe the statistical channel noise well. But, in order to improve the overall performance, this paper proposes a new scheme that can be implemented with simple bit operations without introducing complex operation. That is, the performance of the proposed scheme is enhanced by using the fact that the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) frame and side information are highly correlated, and by reducing the effect of virtual channel noise which tends to be clustered in some regions. For this aim, this paper proposes an efficient pixel-domain WZ (PDWZ) CODEC which effectively exploits the statistical redundancy by using the code conversion and Gray code, and then reduces the channel noise by using the bit interleaver. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed scheme can improve the performance up to 0.5 dB in objective visual quality.

We consider the problem of estimating a code-timing of DS-CDMA signal in antenna array systems in the presence of flat fading channels and near-far environments. We derive an approximate maximum likelihood algorithm of estimating the code-timing of a desired user for DS-CDMA systems to better utilize the time-varying characteristics of the fading process. In the development of code timing estimator, the given observation bits are divided into many sets of sub-windows with each sufficiently large. The proposed method uses sub-windows with equal size associated with the coherence time of channel fading. The alternative approach is that without the estimation of the fading rate, the sufficiently given observation bits are simply separated into two consecutive sets of sub-windows. The derivation of the proposed algorithms is based on multiple antennas partially correlated in space. The impacts of spatial fading correlation on acquisition and men acquisition time performance of the proposed algorithms are also examined.

In this paper, we consider a measurement allocation problem for gathering reliable data from a spatially correlated sensor field. We allocate the probability of each sensor's being measured considering its marginal contribution in entire data gathering; higher measurement probability is given to a sensor that gives higher reilable data. First we establish a correlation model considering limit in each sensor's transmission power, noise in the process of measurement and transmission, and attenutations in wireless channel. Then we evaluate the reliability of gathered data by estimating distortion error in sink node. We model the measurement allocation problem in spatially correlated sensor field into a cooperative game, and quantifiy each sensor's marginal contribution using Shapley Value. Then, the probability of each sensor's being measured is given in proportion to the Shapley Value.

We propose an adaptive scheme of a differential codebook for temporally correlated channels. And the codeword entries of the propose codebook are selected among the set of M-PSK constellations - the values of M proposed in this paper are 8, 16, or 32. Firstly, we analyze mathematically how the optimal spherical cap radius of the proposed codebook is tracked. Then, we explain the practical implementation of the proposed adaptive method. Practically, some candidate differential codebooks we propose in this paper can be switched according to the temporal correlation coefficients of wireless channels in the proposed scheme. Monte-Carlo simulations demonstrate that the achievable throughput performance employing the proposed codebook is always superior to those of the differential codebooks employing M-PSK constellations and non-adaptive differential codebooks with the same amount of feedback information.

Cognitive radio-simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (CR-SWIPT) has attracted much interest since it can improve both the spectrum and energy efficiency of wireless networks. This paper focuses on the resource sharing between a point-to-point primary system (PRS) and a multiuser multi-antenna cellular cognitive radio system (CRS) containing a large number of cognitive users (CUs). The resource sharing optimization problem is formulated by jointly scheduling CUs and adjusting the transmit power at the cognitive base station (CBS). The effect of accessing CUs' spatial channel correlation on the possible transmit power of the CBS is investigated. Accordingly, we provide a low-complexity suboptimal approach termed the semi-correlated semi-orthogonal user selection (SC-SOUS) algorithm to enhance the spectrum efficiency. In the proposed algorithm, CUs that are highly correlated to the information decoding primary receiver (IPR) and mutually near orthogonal are selected for simultaneous transmission to reduce the interference to the IPR and increase the sum rate of the CRS. We further develop a spatial correlation-based resource sharing (SC-RS) strategy to improve energy sharing performance. CUs nearly orthogonal to the energy harvesting primary receiver (EPR) are chosen as candidates for user selection. Therefore, the EPR can harvest more energy from the CBS so that the energy utilization of the network can improve. Besides, zero-forcing precoding and power control are adopted to eliminate interference within the CRS and meet the transmit power constraints. Simulation results and analysis show that, compared with the existing CU selection methods, the proposed low-complex strategy can enhance both the achievable sum rate of the CRS and the energy sharing capability of the network.

In this paper, we propose the frequency diversity scheme for performance improvement of a OFDM system without decreasing the spectral efficiency. In the proposed scheme, information bit is encoded to symbol by a simple procedure, and the encoded symbol is transmitted through the two lowest correlated sub-channels with the particular phase difference. At the receiver, a frequency diversity gain is obtained by a simple signal processing. We also suggest optimum phase difference value to minimize the performance degradation which resulted from a phase difference estimation error and bit/symbol mapping method to minimize BER. As results, at the point of performance improvement, the proposed scheme is excellent even though it requires a little increase of system complexity because of an additional encoding and decoding. In particular, we confirmed through computer simulation that on the same channel environment and bandwidth efficiency, the 27x/1Rx STBC-OFDM system adopting the proposed frequency diversity scheme outperforms the conventional 27x/1Rx STBC-OFDM system performance

This paper proposes a CDMA receiver structure with time-shifted m-sequence orthogonal reception process, and analyzes the output SNR performance and the characteristics of the orthogonal receiver. This structure can be simply implemented with the converntional receiver adding an additional integrator path in parallel and an adder sums the conventional path and the new path output signals. The structure provides to reference user signal not only increment of signal component but also perfect orthogonal characteristic, canceling the accumulated cross-correlated value out to zero between the reference user and other user signals. Hence, the proposed structure can be applied for channel impulse response measurement, and used for multi-user interference signal cancellation and channel capacity increment by flexible structural inter-working operation of the added path, connection or disconnection, to conventional receiver structure.

A new antenna shuffling scheme for double space time transmit diversity is proposed. The proposed method obtains the shuffling pattern directly from the estimated channel by maximizing minimum post-processing signal to noise ratio(SNR), while the conventional method minimizes channel correlation. Since the minimum post-processing SNR is directly related with error performance, the proposed method shows better bit error rate performance than the conventional method. Monte Carlo simulations showed that the proposed scheme has more 3 dB SNR gain than the conventional scheme for 10/sup -3/ bit error rate in spatially correlated fadingcaused by a single cluster model.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is a promising add-on component for future radio communication systems. It provides more access opportunities for local device pairs and enhances system throughput (ST), especially when mobile relays (MR) are further enabled to facilitate D2D links when the channel condition of their desired links is unfavorable. However, mutual interference is inevitable due to spectral reuse, and moreover, selecting a suitable transmission mode to benefit the correlated resource allocation (RA) is another difficult problem. We aim to optimize ST of the hybrid system via joint consideration of mode selection (MS) and RA, which includes admission control (AC), power control (PC), channel assignment (CA) and relay selection (RS). However, the original problem is generally NP-hard; therefore, we decompose it into two parts where a hierarchical structure exists: (i) PC is mode-dependent, but its optimality can be perfectly addressed for any given mode with additional AC design to achieve individual quality-of-service requirements. (ii) Based on that optimality, the joint design of MS, CA and RS can be viewed from the graph perspective and transferred into the maximum weighted independent set problem, which is then approximated by our greedy algorithm in polynomial-time. Thanks to the numerical results, we elucidate the efficacy of our mechanism and observe a resulting gain in MR-aided D2D communication.
