One interesting problem regarding wireless local area network (WLAN) ad-hoc networks is the effective mitigation of hidden nodes. The WLAN standard IEEE 802.11 provides request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) as mitigation for the hidden node problem; however, this causes the exposed node problem. The first 802.11 standard provided only two transmission rates, 1 and 2 Mbps, and control frames, such as RTS/CTS assumed to be sent at 1 Mbps. The 802.11 standard has been enhanced several times since then and now it supports multi-rate transmission up to 65 Mbps in the currently popular 802.11n (20 MHz channel, single stream with long guard interval). As a result, the difference in transmission rates and coverages between the data frame and control frame can be very large. However adjusting the RTS/CTS transmission rate to optimize network throughput has not been well investigated. In this paper, we propose a method to decrease the number of exposed nodes by increasing the RTS transmission rate to decrease RTS coverage. Our proposed method, Asymmetric Range by Multi-Rate Control (ARMRC), can decrease or even completely eliminate exposed nodes and improve the entire network throughput. Experimental results by simulation show that the network throughput in the proposed method is higher by 20% to 50% under certain conditions, and the proposed method is found to be effective in equalizing dispersion of throughput among nodes.

The relation between HPA (High Power Amplifier) and COMS (Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite) multi-carrier is analyzed in this paper. MODAC (Meteorological and Ocean Data Application Center) has a primary mission to transmit processed data, HRIT (High Rate Information Transmission) and LRIT (Low Rate Information Transmission), which is normalized and calibrated by pre-processing. It is also replaced with the SOC (Satellite Operation Center) in emergency case and can transmit the command and ranging tones for operation of COMS. From the result of simulation with modelled HPA, it is found that the multi-carrier in one HPA can give rise to an inter-modulation which makes harmonic and spurious elements increase in-band. Under the environment of these increased parasitic elements, the degradation of multi-carrier's quality is estimated from the ratio of the amount of noise to total output power of HPA.

다중 반송파 전송 방식에서는 데이터 전송 시, 서로 직교성이 있는 여러 개의 부반송파들을 사용한다. 그러므로 주파수 다이버시티 효과를 얻을 수 있어서 성능이 우수한 전송이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 종류의 다중 반송파 전송 방식들을 사용했을 때의 전송시스템 성능을 비교 분석한다. 이러한 여러 가지 시스템들에서 데이터가 다중 경로 Rayleigh 페이딩 환경 하에서 전송될 때의 데이터 비트 에러율을 분석한다.

We introduce a location-based routing model applied for grid backbone nodes in wireless mesh network. The number of paths with nearest distance between two nodes is calculated and used as key parameter to execute routing algorithm. Node will increase the transmission range that makes a trade off with data rate to reach its neighbors when node itself is isolated. The routing model is lightweight and oriented thanks to the simple but efficient routing algorithm.

OFDMA는 주파수와 시간 축에 따라 융통성 있는 자원 할당이 가능하고, 적응적 변조와 코딩이 가능하기 때문에 다중률 멀티캐스트 전송에 적합하다. 계층적 코딩과 달리 MDC (multiple description coding)는 비디오 스트림을 서브 스트림으로 분해와 재조립이 용이하며, 수신율에 비례하여 비디오 품질도 증가하는 특성을 가지고 있다. OFDMA 무선 또는 이동통신망에서 비디오를 다중률로 멀티캐스트 전송할 때 자원 할당과 전송률에 관한 수학적 모델을 제시하고, 사용자가 느끼는 비디오 품질 인덱스인 MOS (mean opinion score)를 최대화 혹은 비례적 공평성을 극대화하는 스케줄링 방식에 대해, 평균값 분석 방법론을 통해 장기적 관점에서 비교 분석한다. 또한, 제한된 자원 내에서 일부 사용자에게 최저 품질을 보장하는 pruning 알고리즘을 제시하고, 비디오 세션 전 기간 또는 일부 기간에 최적으로 서브 스트림을 분할할 수 있음을 보인다.

AOC-SS (Advanced Orthogonal Code-Spread Spectrum) modulation [1] is a flexible scheme to obtain a multi-rate transmission but PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) increases in proportion to the number of AOCs and thus, the mapping technique is proposed to solve this problem. Moreover, by combining with space-time coding (STC), AOC-SS is capable of resistance to multi-path fading. The simulation programs have been performed to verify the validity of the suggested scheme.

Recently, Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) with Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) scheme is introduced into Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) systems to improve digital services for User Equipments (UEs), especially for cell-edge UEs. However, Radio Resource Management (RRM), including Resource Block (RB) scheduling and Power Allocation (PA), in this scenario becomes challenging, due to the intercell cooperation. In this paper, we investigate the RRM problem for downlink transmission of HetNet system with Joint Processing (JP) CoMP (both joint transmission and dynamic cell selection schemes), aiming at maximizing weighted sum data rate under the constraints of both transmission power and backhaul capacity. First, joint RB scheduling and PA problem is formulated as a constrained Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) which is NP-hard. To simplify the formulation problem, we decompose it into two problems of RB scheduling and PA. For RB scheduling, we propose an algorithm with less computational complexity to achieve a suboptimal solution. Then, according to the obtained scheduling results, we present an iterative Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) method to solve the PA problem. Extensive simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms. Two kinds of JP CoMP schemes are compared with a non-CoMP greedy scheme (max capacity scheme). Simulation results prove that the CoMP schemes with the proposed RRM algorithms dramatically enhance data rate of cell-edge UEs, thereby improving UEs' fairness of data rate. Also, it is shown that the proposed PA algorithms can decrease power consumption of transmission antennas without loss of transmission performance.

본 논문에서는 실내 비방향성 분산채널에서 비동기 다중전송률 광무선 펄스위치변조기법을 적용한 부호분할다원 접속 시스템을 제안한다. 부호분할다원접속을 위한 시그너쳐 시퀀스로는 광직교부호를 사용하고, 비트오류률을 향상시키기 위해 간섭제거기법을 적용한다. PPM-CDMA은 전력효율이 다른 변조기법에 비해 우수하고, 고정된 펄스구간에 대해 변조레벨을 변화시켜 다중전송률 서비스를 제공하는 데에 용이하다. 본 논문에서 제안한 다중전송률 PPM-CDMA 시스템은 각 전송률에 대해 칩전송률 및 샘플링 시간을 변화시키지 않으므로써 전체 시스템 구조를 단순화할 수 있다.

In wireless mesh networks multi-rate technology environment, a mesh node can dynamically modify the data transmission rate on a particular link, in response to link distance, or more accurately, the perceived SNR ratio between neighbor nodes. In such networks, existing route selection schemes use a link quality metric. Thus, these schemes may easily result in the network being overloaded. In this paper, a new route metric is proposed; it considers both per-hop service delay and link quality at mesh nodes. In addition, the Load-Aware AODV (LA-AODV) protocol using the proposed metric is presented. The performance evaluation is performed by simulation using the OPNET simulator. It is demonstrated that the LA-AODV protocol outperforms the existing routing protocols using other existing route metrics in multi-rate WMN environment.

Cooperative communications using relays in wireless networks have similar effects of multiple-input and multiple-output without the need of multiple antennas at each node. To implement cooperation into a system, efficient protocols are desired. In IEEE 802.11 families such as a/b/g, mobile stations can automatically adjust transmission rates according to channel conditions. However throughput performance degradation is observed by low-rate stations in multi-rate circumstances resulting in so-called performance anomaly. In this paper, we propose active relay-based cooperative medium access control (AR-CMAC) protocol, in which active relays desiring to transmit their own data for cooperation participate in relaying, and it is designed to increase throughput as a solution to performance anomaly. We have analyzed the performance of the simplified AR-CMAC using an embedded Markov chain model to demonstrate the gain of AR-CMAC and to verify it with our simulations. Simulations in an infrastructure network with an IEEE 802.11b/g access point show noticeable improvement than the legacy schemes.
