Introducing the quantized channel state information (CSI), space division multiple access (SDMA) can extract the multiplexing gain with the limited feedback burden. However, huge signaling burden of feedback can still suffer SDMA system because the total feedback data of SDMA is linearly dependent on the number of users. Hence, we propose a new feedback scheme to control the feedback load decided by the number of users. In this scheme, the cut-off level, which restricts the feedbacks of poor conditioned users, is suggested for the reduction of the feedback burden without the performance loss. From simulation results, then, we show that the proposed feedback scheme can achieve not only the sum-rate gain but also the reasonable feedback reduction.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of WCDMA reverse link receiver system with closed loop fast transmit power control (TPC). For fast power control, SIR must be measured precisely. We propose a new SIR measurement algorithm having a simple structure. The proposed algorithm uses unused OVSF code for interference power evaluation. The proposed SIR measurement algorithm is compared to the conventional SIR measurement algorithm in Ref.$^{［1］}$ under closed loop fast TPC. We adopted WMSA channel estimation filter with Κ=2 for mobile radio channel estimation and considered one slot TPC delay. Extensive computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm using unused OVSF code reduces the required Ε$_{b}$ /Ι$_{0}$ at the BER of 10$^{-3}$ up to 0.9㏈ and has an improved TPC error performance compared to the conventional algorithm.

The water deer (Hydropotes inermis) is one of the most primitive extant deer of the family Cervidae. Unlike Chinese water deer, Korean water deer have rarely been studied, even though they have relatively well remained in Korea. In particular, the home range of the Korean water deer has not yet been studied. Here we estimated the home range of the Korean water deer using two different methods (GPS and radio tracking) and analyzed the home range according to sex, time, and season. The mean home range size of four individuals was 2.77 $km^2$ and 0.34 $km^2$ under the 95% minimum convex polygon (MCP) and the 50% kernel (K) method, respectively. There seemed to be a difference in home range size between males (3.30 $km^2$) and females (2.25 $km^2$) under the 95% MCP method. We also found a difference in home range size between day (1.90 $km^2$) and night (2.43 $km^2$) by 95% MCP method. In addition, a home range size difference was observed between summer (4.65 $km^2$) and spring (0.48 $km^2$) or fall (0.85 $km^2$) using the 95% MCP method. Water deer seemed to have a larger home range in night than in day, and males also have a larger home range. We presumed that the GPS tracking method of the code division multiple access system could be a very useful tool for understanding the ecology of the water deer using the radio tracking method. Using these tracking methods and through future research, we can better understand the habitat use pattern of these water deer.

This paper deals with the design and development of the remote control and measurement systems using CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) data modem. We propose a bi-directional data communication link without the public IP address in CDMA modem device by the TCP/IP packet and SMS(Short Message Service) communication. The remote control and measurement systems are implemented by a Telit WM-800 modem as DCE(Data Communication Equipment), and Atmel AT89C51 microcontroller as DTE(Data Terminal Equipment). The user application software for the control and measurement system user, and the firmware software of device drivers for peripherals such as a digital input/output device, AD/DAC(Analog to Digital/Digital to Analog Converter), LCD, and temperature/humidity sensor are written in Microsoft C and Keil C language respectively for further various applications. The experimental result of the proposed control and measurement systems implemented in this paper is evaluated via real-time experiments, which works well as designed.

Recently, the demand of mobile communication is rapidly increasing. Also, not only the voice service but also the nonvoice services such as data, FAX, and image service are required. Therefore, in this paper, the voice/data intergraed service methods that will be utilized as a basic core technology of the PCS systems are proposed and their performances are analyzed and compared by computer simulation. According to the simulation results, it could be seen that the performance of voice/data integrated PR-CDMA method is better than that of voice/data integrated broadband CDMA method using a dedicated terminal or a voice/data integrated terminal. The reason is that the voice/data integrated PR-CDMA method can overcome the weak points of CDMA protocol, such as a limitation of the fixed CDMA logical channel number and a falling-off in channel utilization, by using PRMA protocol as a multiple access method that the terminals to which a CDMA logical channel is assigned compete.

in this paper, we analyze the effects of PN sequence phase on the multiple access interference (MAI) of multi-media multi-rate DS/CDMA system with variable spreading gain (VGS) scheme, and furthermore derive the bit error rate (BER) equation for MAI users with different powers and spreading gains. In the sequel, we verify the influences of deterministic sequences on the bit error rate performance. As the results of the bit error rate of a desired user against interfering users with different spreading gains and different transmit powers, it is shown that the domain factor to determine the MAI component could be different according to the data transmission rate of a desired user. We also show that any kind of PN sequence phase does not yield considerable advantage, unless $E_b/N_o$ is considerably greater than 10dB, since below that value AWGN dominates. However, when the higher $E_b/N_o$, the performance of both MSQCC/CO and CO/MSQCC criterion give the better results.

Spectrum scarcity seems to be the most challenging issue to be solved in new wireless telecommunication services. It is shown that spectrum unavailability is mainly due to spectrum inefficient utilization and inappropriate physical layer execution rather than spectrum shortage. Daily increasing demand for new wireless services with higher data rate and QoS level makes the upgrade of the physical layer modulation techniques inevitable. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) which utilizes multicarrier modulation to provide higher data rates with the capability of flexible resource allocation, although has widely been used in current wireless systems and standards, seems not to be the best candidate for cognitive radio systems. Filter Bank based Multi-Carrier (FBMC) is an evolutionary scheme with some advantages over the widely-used OFDM multicarrier technique. In this paper, we focus on the total throughput improvement of a cognitive radio network using FBMC modulation. Along with this modulation scheme, we propose a novel uplink radio resource allocation algorithm in which fairness issue is also considered. Moreover, the average throughput of the proposed FBMC based cognitive radio is compared to a conventional OFDM system in order to illustrate the efficiency of using FBMC in future cognitive radio systems. Simulation results show that in comparison with the state of the art two algorithms (namely, Shaat and Wang) our proposed algorithm achieves higher throughputs and a better fairness for cognitive radio applications.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve collision avoidance in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) networks based on IEEE 802.11p. Since IEEE 802.11p adopts CSMA/CA as a multiple access scheme and an emergency warning message (EWM) is delivered to behind vehicles in a multi-hop manner, due to transmission collision, the more vehicles in the vehicle chain results in a longer delay. The longer delay increases the possibility of a rear-end collision. In order to ensure message reception with low latency, we consider implicit acknowledgement of a broadcasted EWM message and propose an algorithm to reduce redundant message transactions, called Two-Way Implicit Acknowledgement (TWIA). By simulations, we show that our proposed algorithm can reduce the latency until the last car receives the message by 9% and the success rate every car receives the message within 0.7sec by 12% at 100 fixed-number-of-car environment.

OFDMA systems solves frequency selective fading problem and provides improved performance by optimal allocation of subcarriers and transmit power. Two-way relay systems provide improved spectral efficiency compared to that of the conventional half-duplex relay using bidirectional communications. In legacy OFDMA system such as WiBro, two-way DF relay utilization causes pilot re-assignment and impossibility of channel estimation and decoding at relay nodes by self-interference. In this paper, resource allocation schemes for legacy OFDMA systems with two-way DF relay are proposed. The proposed schemes allocate subcarriers considering destinations nodes which are connected to relay nodes as individual nodes which are directly connected to a base station. Subsequently, the proposed schemes compensate bandwidth loss due to orthogonal allocations by overlapped allocating unused subcarriers at other noes. Numerical simulations show that the proposed resource allocation schemes provide improved performance compared with orthogonal allocation.

MAI(Multi-Access Interference) and fast channel variation due to the fading environment are the major problems in the mobile CDMA communication systems. Recently, interest has been increasing in applying the Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector to MAI cancellation in the CDMA reverse link. In this paper, we propose a modified Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector structure which can be used in Long-duration code CDMA system in the presence of independent Rayleigh fading. We use independent multiple tap-weight vector structure to cope with the variation of spreading sequence pattern between neighbor symbols because of the Long-duration code. In this case, more exact channel parameter estimation is required. To solve this problem, we use coherent CDMA structure which can track the channel parameters like amplitude and phase by employing the low power pilot channel in the CDMA reverse link.
