Cognitive Radio (CR) technology is proposed for using the unused spectrum band efficiently because of the spectrum scarcity problems. Spectrum sensing is one of the most challenging issues in cognitive radio system. In this paper, we focus on the signal detection of WiBro system band. As most of the modulated signals can be treated as cyclostationary random process, we can detect the signal of the OFDM signals in WiBro system. OFDM symbols using WiBro system have several pilot subcarriers and periodic pilots have cyclostationary characteristic. To improve the detection performance, we get diversity gain using multiple antennas.

기존 DVB-T 시스템에서의 Streaming 방식이 아닌 IPDC(IP Data Casting) 방식으로 전송하는 DVB-H 시스템은 수신기의 소모 전력 감소를 통한 휴대성의 극대화를 위하여 Time-Slicing 기법을 사용한다. 해당 time slot의 Burst에 대해서만 수신기 동작을 수행함으로써 수신기의 전력 효율을 증대시킬 수 있는 Time-Slicing 기법은 각 Burst에 대한 동기 시간의 단축을 통하여 더욱 향상된 절전 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재 수신된 OFDM 심볼의 파일럿 패턴을 검출하는 고속 분산 파일럿 동기 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 연속적으로 수신된 두 OFDM 심볼에 대하여 가능한 분산 파일럿 위치의 인접 부반송파 간의 상관을 이용하므로 기존의 DVB-T에 적용된 방식에 비하여 동기 수행 시간을 두 심볼로 크게 줄일 수 있으며, DVB-H 시스템을 위해 노키아에서 제안된 두 가지의 방식 및 기준 신호와의 상관을 이용하는 방식에 비하여 우수한 성능을 나타낸다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험은 ETSI의 EN300 744를 기반으로 수행되었으며, 성능 평가 결과 제안된 방식이 기존 방식에 비하여 보다 효율적이며 안정된 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are comprised of wireless mobile nodes characterized by a randomly changing topology, high mobility, availability of geographic position, and fewer power constraints. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising candidate for the physical layer of VANET because of the inherent characteristics of the spectral efficiency and robustness to channel impairments. The susceptibility of OFDM to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) is a challenging issue. The high mobility of nodes in VANET causes higher Doppler shifts, which results in ICI in the OFDM system. In this paper, a frequency domain com-btype channel estimation was used to cancel out ICI. The channel frequency response at the pilot tones was estimated using a Least Square (LS) estimator. An efficient interpolation technique is required to estimate the channel at the data tones with low interpolation error. This paper proposes a robust interpolation technique to estimate the channel frequency response at the data subcarriers. The channel induced noise tended to degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Parallel concatenated Convolutional codes were used for error correction. At the decoding end, different decoding algorithms were considered for the component decoders of the iterative Turbo decoder. A performance and complexity comparison among the various decoding algorithms was also carried out.
