  • The pseudolites are ground-based transmitters that can be configured to emit GPS-like signals with the purpose of enhancing the GPS by providing increased accuracy, integrity, and availability. Although the use of the pseudolites offers many potentially significant benefits, a number of technical issues must also be addressed. One is the pseudolite signal power level which is related with near-far problem, and other issues include deployment requirements, signal data rate, signal integrity monitoring, and user antenna location and sensitivity. In order to solve the near-far problem, the frequency offset or the pulsing schemes is implemented in most the pseudolites. However, in the case of the previous pulsing scheme with the fixed code pattern, the near-far problem still remains. This paper aims to design a sequential pulsing scheme to avoid the near-far problem. A pulse mode pseudolite has less interference than the continuous mode.

  • In this paper, we propose a new Genetic Algorithm(GA)-based Multiuser Detector(MUD), and its performance is evaluated by computer simulation compared to both the optimum MUD and the Hopfield neural network(NN) -based MUD when the near-far problem exists. From the results of comprehensive simulation, it is shown that the proposed MUD in this paper can guarantee a close BER performance compared to both the optimum MUD and the Hopfield NN MUD with a considerable reduced complexity under the near-far condition. Furthermore, a more performance improvement than the Hopfield W MUD can be expected when the near-far problem does not exist.

  • In this paper, error performance of DS/FH CDMA system has been analyzed in a radio channel which is characterized by near-far problem and multi-path fading. The DS/FH CDMA system adopts Maximum Ratio Combining(MRC) diversity and BCH(Bose-Chau dhuri-Hocquenghem) coding techniques to enhance system performance. Using the derived error probability equation, the error performance of DS/FH CDMA system has been evaluated and shown in figures to discuss as a function of PN code length(N), hopping rate(q), number of diversity branch(M), coding rate($\gamma$) and bit energy per noise power ratio ${E_b/N_o}$. The results show that DS/FH system is more effective to restrain the affection of near-far problem and multi-path fading than DS system. And there is a substantial enhancement in performance by employing an MRC diversity or BCH coding techniques. Consequently, we expected that proposed system structure is reliable to the voice communication system in near-far problem and multi-path fading channel.

  • This paper considers a downlink multi-carrier cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission, where no direct link exists between the far user and the base station (BS), and the communication between them only relies on the assist of the near user. Firstly, the BS sends a superimposed signal of the far and the near user to the near user, and then the near user adopts simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) to split the received superimposed signal into two portions for energy harvesting and information decoding respectively. Afterwards, the near user forwards the signal of the far user by utilizing the harvested energy. A minimum data is required to ensure the quality of service (QoS) of the far user. We jointly optimize power allocation, subcarrier allocation, time allocation, the power allocation (PA) coefficient and the power splitting (PS) ratio to maximize the number of data bits received at the near user under the energy causality constraint, the minimum data constraint and the transmission power constraint. The block-coordinate descent method and the Lagrange duality method are used to obtain a suboptimal solution of this optimization problem. In the final simulation results, the superiority of the proposed NOMA scheme is confirmed compared with the benchmark NOMA schemes and the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) scheme.

  • In conducting indoor positioning by code division multiple access using spread spectrum ultrasonic waves, it is required to detect signals under the influence of near-far problem occurred by difference on signal power, caused by distance between transmitter and receiver. For discussing robustness to the problem, we verified measuring accuracy on distance from an experiment on a real space with a hardware device where our proposed method is mounted. The proposed method performs automatic signal detection by setting threshold level dynamically. As an experimental result, measurable distance were improved by the proposed method, and measurement errors were up to 50mm in distances from 1000mm to 6000mm; therefore, enough accuracy to realize self-localization or navigation for autonomous mobile robot or human was obtained.

  • In this paper, a new numerical method is proposed to analyze near-field sonar cross section of acoustically large-sized underwater targets such as submarines. A near-field problem is converted to a far-field problem using a spherical projection method with respect to the objective target. Then, sonar cross section is calculated with a physical optics well established in far-field acoustic wave scattering problems. The analysis results of a square flat plate compared with those obtained by other method show the accuracy of the proposed method. Moreover, it is noted that the sonar cross section is varied with respect to the targeting point as well as the range. Finally, numerical analysis results of real-like underwater target such as a submarine pressure hull are discussed.

  • Numerical modeling for electromagnetic exploration methods are essential to understand behaviours of electromagnetic fields in complex subsurfaces. In this study, a finite element method was adopted as a numerical scheme for the 2.5-dimensional forward problem. And a finite element equation considering linear conductivity variation was proposed when 2.5-dimensional differential equation to couple eletric and magnetic field was implemented. Model parameters were investigated for near-field with large source effects and far-field with responses dominantly by homogeneous half-space. Numerical responses by this study were compared with analytic solutions in homogeneous half-space and compared with other three dimensional numerical results.

  • The site effects of local geological conditions on seismic ground motion are performed using 2D numerical method. For the analysis, a numerical method far ground response analysis using FE-BE coupling method is developed. The total system is divided into two parts so called far field and near field. The far field is modeled by boundary element formulation using the multi-layered dynamic fundamental solution that satisfied radiational condition of wave. And this is coupled with near field modeled by finite elements. In order to verify the seismic response analysis, the results are compared with those of commercial code. As a result, it is shown that the developed method can be an efficient numerical method to solve the seismic response analysis of the site effect in 2D problem.

  • Semi-active isolation systems based on leverage-type stiffness control strategies have been widely studied. The main concept behind this type of system is to adjust the stiffness in the isolator to match the fundamental period of the isolated system by using a simple leverage mechanism. Although this system achieves high performance under far-field earthquakes, it is unsuitable for near-fault strong ground motion. To overcome this problem, this study considers the potential energy effect in the control law of the semi-active isolation system. The minimal energy weighting (MEW) between the potential energy and kinetic energy was first optimized through a series of numerical simulations. Two MEW algorithms, namely generic and near-fault MEW control, were then developed to efficiently reduce the structural displacement responses. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, a two-degree-of-freedom structure was employed as a benchmark. Numerical results indicate that the dynamic response of the structure can be effectively dampened by the proposed MEW control under both far-field and near-fault earthquakes, whereas the structural responses resulting from conventional control methods may be greater than those for the purely passive control method. Moreover, according to experimental verifications, both the generic and near-fault MEW control modes yielded promising results under impulse-like earthquakes. The practicability of the proposed control algorithm was verified.
