In this paper, we propose improved maximum access delay time, noise variance, and power delay profile (PDP) estimation schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in multipath fading channels. To this end, we adopt the approximate maximum likelihood (ML) estimation strategy. For the first step, the log-likelihood function (LLF) of the received OFDM symbols is derived by utilizing only the cyclic redundancy induced by cyclic prefix (CP) without additional information. Then, the set of the initial path powers is sub-optimally obtained to maximize the derived LLF. In the second step, we can select a subset of the initial path power set, i.e. the maximum access delay time, so as to maximize the modified LLF. Through numerical simulations, the benefit of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the existing methods in terms of normalized mean square error, erroneous detection, and good detection probabilities.

본 논문에서는 Cyclic prefix 형태의 보호구간을 갖는 비동기 MC-CDMA 상향 링크 시스템의 시간 옵셋의 영향을 주파수 선택적 다경로 페이딩 채널에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석을 위하여 시간 옵셋을 보호구간 및 최대 접속 지연 시간 (maximum access delay time)과 관련하여 모델링하였다. 수식적 분석을 통하여 시간 옵셋이 원하는 신호성분의 전력 누수와 자기 간섭성분을 발생시키는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 시간 옵셋이 유효 SNR 및 평균 오류율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 근사화를 통하여 평균 오류율 및 SNR 감쇄를 닫혀진 형태로 유도하였다. 분석결과의 정확성은 모의실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 다양한 시간 옵셋 및 SNR에 대해 검증하였다.

Cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as one of effective methods to enhance the utilization of existing radio spectrum. Main principle of CR is that secondary users (SUs) are allowed to use the spectrum unused by primary users (PUs) without interfering PU's transmissions. In this paper, PUs operate on a slot-by-slot basis and SUs try to exploit the slots unused by PUs. We propose OSA protocols in the single channel and we propose an opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) protocols in the multi-channel cognitive radio networks with one control channel and several licensed channels where a slot is divided into contention phase and transmission phase. A slot is divided into reporting phase, contention phase and transmission phase. The reporting phase plays a role of finding idle channels unused by PUs and the contention phase plays a role of selecting a SU who will send packets in the data transmission phase. One SU is selected by carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with request to send / clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism on control channel and the SU is allowed to occupy all remaining part of all idle channels during the current slot. For mathematical analysis, first we deal with the single-channel case and we model the proposed OSA media access control (MAC) protocol by three-dimensional discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) whose one-step transition probability matrix has a special structure so as to apply the censored Markov chain method to obtain the steady state distribution.We obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay. Next we deal with the multi-channel case and obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay by using results of single-channel case. In numerical results, our mathematical analysis is verified by simulations and we give numerical results on throughput and access delay of the proposed MAC protocol. Finally, we find the maximum allowable number of SUs satisfying the requirements on throughput and access delay.

Ethernet PON(Passive Optical Network)은 최근 활발하게 연구되고 있는 경제적이고 효율적인 가입자망이다. 차세대 가입자망인 Ethernet PON의 MAC(Media Access Control) 프로토콜은 TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access)방식을 기본으로 하며, QoS(Qualify of Service)를 보장해야 하는 전용회선(Leased Line) 가입자에 적합한 고정 할당 방식과 LAN/MAN의 최선형(Best Effort) 방식에 적합한 동적 할당 방식으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들 프로토콜의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 OPNET 시뮬레이션 도구를 이용해 Ethernet PON 모델을 설계한다. 설계된 모델에 대한 단대단 Ethernet 지연(end-to-end Ethernet delay), 큐잉 지연(queuing delay), 처리(throughput)과 사용률(utilization) 분석을 통해서 MAC 프로토콜을 검증하고, 하나의 OLT(Optical Line Terminal)가 수용할 수 있는 최적의 ONU(Optical Network Unit) 개수를 산정한다. 또한, 적정한 ONU의 버퍼 크기를 제안하여 Ethernet PON의 망 효율을 극대화하는 방안을 제시한다.

Random access method for Wibro system is proposed using the Bayesian Technique, which can estimate the number of bandwidth request messages in a frame only based on the number of successful slots. The performance measures such as the maximum average throughput, the mean delay time and the collision ratio are investigated to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The proposed method shows better performance than the binary exponential backoff algorithm used currently.

Due to multiple hops, mobility and time-varying channel, supporting delay sensitive real-time traffic in wireless local area network-based (WLAN) mesh networks is a challenging task. In particular for real-time traffic subject to medium access control (MAC) layer control overhead, such as preamble, carrier sense waiting time and the random backoff period, the performance of real-time flows will be degraded greatly. In order to support real-time traffic, an efficient adaptive packet scheduling (APS) scheme is proposed, which aims to improve the system performance by guaranteeing inter-class, intra-class service differentiation and adaptively adjusting the packet length. APS classifies incoming packets by the IEEE 802.11e access class and then queued into a suitable buffer queue. APS employs strict priority service discipline for resource allocation among different service classes to achieve inter-class fairness. By estimating the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) per bit and current link condition, APS is able to calculate the optimized packet length with bi-dimensional markov MAC model to improve system performance. To achieve the fairness of intra-class, APS also takes maximum tolerable packet delay, transmission requests, and average allocation transmission into consideration to allocate transmission opportunity to the corresponding traffic. Detailed simulation results and comparison with IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) scheme show that the proposed APS scheme is able to effectively provide inter-class and intra-class differentiate services and improve QoS for real-time traffic in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and fairness.

This paper proposes a MAC protocol for real-time VBR (rt-VBR) services in wireless ATM networks. The proposed protocol is characterized by a contention-based mechanism of the reservation request, a contention-free polling scheme for transferring the dynamic parameters, and a priority scheme of the slot allocation. The design objective of the proposed protocol is to guarantee the real-time constraint of rt-VBR traffic. The scheduling algorithm uses a priority scheme based on the maximum cell transfer delay parameter. The wireless terminal establishes an rt-VBR connection to the base station with a contention-based scheme. The base station scheduler allocates a dynamic parameter minislot to the wireless terminal for transferring the residual lifetime and the number of requesting slots as the dynamic parameters. Based on the received dynamic parameters, the scheduler allocates the uplink slots to the wireless terminal with the most stringent delay requirement. The simulation results show that the proposed protocol can guarantee the delay constraint of rt-VBR services along with its cell loss rate significantly reduced.

In this paper, we propose the time synchronization module on fiber optic repeater to use optic line delay for obtaining time synchronization between up-link and down-link, in the 2.3 GHz WiBro network using TDD/OFDM (Time Division Duplex/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) Generally, when we use fiber optic repeater to remove the shade area, it occurs transmission delay which is caused by optic transmission between RAS (Radio Access Station) and fiber optic repeater and inner delay of fiber optic repeater. Because the WiBro system is adopting a TOO method and there exists the difference of switching time which is caused by these delay between up-link and down-link, it occurs ISI (Inter Symbol Interference), ICI (Inter Carrier Interference). These interference results in the reduction of the coverage. And the inconsistency between Up-Link and Down-Link switching time maybe gives rise to the interruption of communication. In order to prevent these cases, we propose synchronization module using analog optic line delay as the one of synchronizing up-link and down-link. And we propose the consideration factor for the designing time synchronization module and the feature of optic line of analog method. The measurement result of optic line time synchronization module of structure proposed is as follows, the delay error of $0.5{\mu}g$ and the insertion loss value below maximum 4.5dB in range of $0{\sim}40{\mu}s$. These results fully meet the specification of WiBro System.

차량 간 무선 통신을 목적으로 만들어진 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 (OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)기반 WAVE(Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 시스템의 물리층 표준은 기존에 표준화된 IEEE802.11a 무선랜(WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network)의 표준을 따르는 것으로 되어 있다. 따라서 WAVE는 초기 동기 이후 차량 간 다중 경로 페이딩(Multipath Fading) 채널의 영향으로 인하여 심볼 타이밍에 있어서 연속적인 시간 지연이 발생함에 따라 시스템의 수신 성능이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문은 추가적인 심볼 시간 지연을 보상해 주기 위한 심볼 시간 추적(Tracking) 알고리듬을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 알고리듬을 최대 지연 시간 (Maximum Timing Delay)이 적용된 최악의 통신환경에 적용하여 모의실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 가산성 백색 가우스 잡음 (AWGN: Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채 널 및 페이딩 채널 환경에서 시스템의 수신 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.
