In this paper, we propose a new EIM(erasure insertion method) based on the average-minimal-noise-power for HOM(higher order modulation) over AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) under PBJ(partial-band jamming). Then we design SFH/SS(slow-frequency-hopping spread-spectrum) system by applying this method and formulate the PER(packet error rate) of the system. Based on this formula, we propose a new method to set the optimal threshold of the EIM and verify it at the designed 16-QAM SFH/SS system.

Media-specific FEC techniques, suggested to confront with VoIP speech packet loss, improve speech quality at the expense of generating additional one-frame delay. In this paper, we suggest new media-specific FEC, i.e, LSF FEC technique which is able to improve speech quality with much shortened additional delay. In the proposed technique, the LSF parameters of the future frame are utilized to recover a lost packet. To evaluate performance of the proposed technique, we use ITU-T G.723.1 and G.729 Codec and apply Gilbert packet loss model and estimate MOS per every packet loss rate using PESQ speech quality estimation algorithm. The proposed technique has effect of shortening delay over from 6.5ms to 27ms compared with existing media-specific FEC techniques. Simulation results for comparison of reconstructed speech quality show this novel technique improves the MOS over 0.1 in practical lossy environment of 5 % packet loss rate.

In this paper, we propose a new MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol using Movable-boundary, which tries to guarantee Qos for multimedia traffic in the slotted CDMA system. In this scheme, the traffic scheduler assigns channel resource according to the packet priority per service class and adapts the Movable-boundary concept in which the minimum resource is assigned to each traffic class; the remaining resource if it is available can be assigned dynamically according to the temporal demand of other traffic classes. For performance analysis, we performed computer simulations to obtain throughput and packet loss rate and compared the results with Fixed-boundary system. We observed that the error rate of voice traffic could be maintained below a prescribed value while bursty traffic such as video source shares the same channel. In comparison with Fixed-boundary scheme, our protocol exhibits better throughput and packet loss rate performance.

Any user in Ubiquitous environments have to be able to access networks in anywhere and anytime. Thus interests and researches are increasing. In this paper, we propose an interface selection scheme that adaptively utilizes a proper interface, as the wireless channel condition changes, instead of utilizing only one interface while the node is in move. The proposed scheme can determine which interface would be the most proper one by measuring data rate, packet error rate (PER), and end-to-end delay of each interface. From the simulation results, it is verified that the proposed scheme is able to enhance packet transmission about 20% better.

Many studies are undertaken into nuclear power plants (NPPs) in preparation for accidents exceeding design standards. In this paper, we analyze the applicability of various wireless communication technologies as accident countermeasures in different NPP environments. In particular, a commercial wireless communication module (WCM) is investigated by measuring leakage current and packet error rate (PER), which vary depending on the intensity of incident radiation on the module, by testing at a Co-60 gamma-ray irradiation facility. The experimental results show that the WCMs continued to operate after total doses of 940 and 1097 Gy, with PERs of 3.6% and 0.8%, when exposed to irradiation dose rates of 185 and 486 Gy/h, respectively. In short, the lower irradiation dose rate decreased the performance of WCMs more than the higher dose rate. In experiments comparing the two communication protocols of request/response and one-way, the WCMs survived up to 997 and 1177 Gy, with PERs of 2% and 0%, respectively. Since the request/response protocol uses both the transmitter and the receiver, while the one-way protocol uses only the transmitter, then the electronic system on the side of the receiver is more vulnerable to radiation effects. From our experiments, the tested module is expected to be used for design-based accidents (DBAs) of "Category A" type, and has confirmed the possibility of using wireless communication systems in NPPs.

Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices have recently been introduced into the consumer electronics market. These devices download or upload content, from or to a host machine, such as a personal computer, a laptop, a home gateway, or a media server. This paper investigates the fairness among multiple Wi-Fi-enabled portable devices in a home network when they are simultaneously communicated with the host machine. First, we present that, a simple IEEE 802.11-based home network suffers from unfairness, and the fairness is exaggerated by the wireless link errors. This unfairness is due to the asymmetric response of the TCP to data-packet loss and to acknowledgment-packet loss, and the wireless link errors that occur in the proximity of any node; the errors affect other wireless devices through the interaction at the interface queue of the home gateway. We propose a QoS-provisioning framework in order to achieve per-device fairness and service differentiation. For this purpose, we introduce the medium access price, which denotes an aggregate value of network-wide traffic load, per-device link usage, and per-device link error rate. We implemented the proposed framework in the ns-2 simulator, and carried out a simulation study to evaluate its performance with respect to fairness, service differentiation, loss and delay. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method enforces the per-device fairness, regardless of the number of devices present and regardless of the level of wireless link errors; furthermore it achieves high link utilization with only a small amount of frame losses.

We presented a channel model for the inter vehicle radio link including the reflection from the road surface, side road vehicle and concrete wall. Then we theoretically derived the path loss and delay profile characteristics using the Ray tracing method efficiently analyzing millimeter wave or optic wave. Finally, we shown the improvement of propagation characteristics by diversity techniques, BCH coding and convolution coding techniques. At the result, MRC diversity techniques and BCH coding can't obtained PER = $10^{-6}$ which is considered to be data service criterion. But, we knew that Packet Error Rate Characteristic can obtained PER = $10^{-6}$, which is considered to be data service criterion, when convolution coding scheme are adopted in Rician fading.

This paper suggests an improved TCP congestion algorithm, which is more robust to lossy wireless environment than other algorithms such as TCP-Reno. The suggested algorithm decides on the size of a congestion window depending on both PER (Packet Error Rate) and its state, which is one of fast recovery state and slow start state. Some simulations are given to validate the suggested algorithm and the algorithm is compared with other TCP congestion algorithm from the point of view of performance measures such as a congestion window and throughput. The suggested algorithm has better throughput than other algorithm over wireless links with high PER and similar throughput to others over wireless links with low BER.

This paper has reviewed the performances of various AGCs which can be adopted in IEEE802.11p modems. IEEE802.11p, a high speed mobile communication standard for vehicles, requires high performance signal detector since the channel impulse responses are varied rapidly in time. In order to select the optimal signal detector, we simulated the performances of three detection methods. One is using RSSI signal, the other is using RSSI signal and I/Q signal, and the third is using I/Q signal through the Monte Carlo simulation. We evaluated the performances of the algorithms using our own system based on MAX 2829 transceiver(MAXIM $Integrated^{TM}$) in a real vehicular environment. As a result, the experiment using Fully I/Q signal derives the most excellent performance with the lowest minimum receiver sensitivity, packet error rate (PER) and false alarm rate (FAR).

In this paper, for the purpose of providing high data rate services, the multi-hop frame structure is designed for the underwater acoustic (UWA) short-range system which is proposed as a part of ocean surveillance and tracking network (OSTN). Under the measured underwater channel environment, the link-level system performance are also evaluated. Simulation results show not only the packet error rate (PER) comparisons, but the optimal modulation and coding scheme (MCS) levels for the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based short-range UWA communications network.
