To improve the performance of mobile communication systems, beamforming technology is being considered. However, the number of antenna should be more than four to implement beamforming technology. Therefore, the existing 2-Tx RU (radio unit) for $2{\times}2$ MIMO (multiple input multiple output) should be replaced by 4-Tx RU for beamforming function. In this paper, we propose a new method to implement 4-Tx beamforming RU reusing the existing 2-Tx RU. We think that our method is very useful from the viewpoint of cost and environment because the existing 2-Tx RUs can be reused.

Since smart phones are widely used globally, the demand for high-speed mobile communications are increasing. To accommodate the increased communication demand, the next-generation mobile communication services such as LTE-Advanced are deployed. In the LTE-Advanced base stations, the base station schemes of Digital Unit (DU) and Radio Unit (RU) are widely used. Here, the link between DU and RU is called fronthaul link. In the current fronthaul link, a digital optical communication interface is used, which is called Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). However, the CPRI link cannot support the increased mobile traffic efficiently. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate an alternative technology based on the Radio over Fiber (RoF) to accommodate the increased mobile traffic economically.

Recently, base stations composed of digital unit (DU) and radio unit (RU) have been widely used in 4G mobile networks. To connect DU and RU, CPRI (common public radio interface) is usually used as the interface standard. This CPRI link is considered as one of the application markets for WDM-PON. In this paper, we analyzed the required specification of WDM-PON for the CPRI link of the 4G LTE-Advanced base station composed of DU and RU. This analysis is important to set a target goal of the development of WDM-PON system for 4G mobile networks.

한국천문연구원에서는 한국우주전파관측망(Korean VLBI Network: KVN)을 위한 전파영상합성기(상관기) 개발을 진행하고 있다. 전파관측 VLBI 시스템 중 상관기(Correlater) 시스템의 한 구성요소로서 데이터 입력 부분에 각 관측 사이트의 데이터를 사전 처리하는 Station Unit(SU)이 있다. VLBI 시스템에서, 디지털화된 데이터의 다중채널은 테이프 또는 하드디스크에 다중트랙 형태로 인코딩된다. 이 SU의 주요기능은 다중트랙으로부터 인코딩된 데이터를 디코딩하고, 마치 기록되지 않은 것과 같이 채널기반의 샘플 스트림으로 이 데이터를 복원하는 것이다. 이 기능을 원활하게 수행하기 위해서, SU는 논리적으로 재생기 시스템과 함께 시스템이 통합될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 전파 천문 VLBI 시스템 중 SU의 기능과 구조에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a wireless access network virtualization algorithm based on a digital unit (DU)-radio unit (RU) separated network structure in a cellular network with multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The proposed wireless access network virtualization algorithm consists of a baseline access network virtualization, RAT virtualization, and access path migration algorithms. Final wireless access network virtualization is performed by sequentially performing these procedures. Through system-level simulations which assume 3GPP LTE and WiMAX systems, the performance of the proposed wireless access network virtualization is evaluated in terms of system throughput for two scenarios according to asymmetry of network traffic load. Numerical results show that our proposed wireless access network virtualization algorithm achieves significant system throughput gain even in asymmetric traffic load and user distribution situations.

This paper presents an approach to detect the dielectric condition of FRP Hot Stick in EHV high voltage cable whereas shutting down the power system is not necessary. The radio frequency generating method is adopted by transmitting radio wave into the Electrodes. This instrument is small, easy to use and also inexpensive. Furthermore, the impurity level of dirt on high voltage insulator (non-ceramic type) will be analyzed by using the methods based on IEEE Std.978-1984 at 105 kV.DC. /305 mm. and OSHA Regulation 1910.269 Part J - live line tools. The frequency at 10-20 MHz is applied to FRP Hot Stick via Electrode1 and from FRP Hot Stick surface to Electrode 2. After that the results will be evaluated by testing in each condition of FRP Hot Stick, such as dry surface, hot surface, foil winding and conductor inserting. Finally, the watt loss will be examined and compared with the loss from humidity and Carbon tracking. The important components of this system are radio frequency generating unit, frequency stabilizing unit, frequency amplifier, FRP Hot Stick frequency counter, processing unit, and display unit.

There have been traditional approaches to model radio propagation path loss mechanism both theoretically ad empirically. Theoretical approach is simple to explain and effective in certain cases. Empirical approach accommodates the terrain configuration and distance between base station and mobile unit along the propagation path only. In other words, it does not accommodate natural terrain configuration over a specific area. In this paper, we propose a spatial prediction technique for the mobile radio propagation path loss accommodating complete natural terrain configuration over a specific area. Statistical uncertainty analysis is also considered.

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) refers to the virtualization of base station functionalities by means of cloud computing. This results in a novel cellular architecture in which low-cost wireless access points, known as radio units or remote radio heads, are centrally managed by a reconfigurable centralized "cloud", or central, unit. C-RAN allows operators to reduce the capital and operating expenses needed to deploy and maintain dense heterogeneous networks. This critical advantage, along with spectral efficiency, statistical multiplexing and load balancing gains, make C-RAN well positioned to be one of the key technologies in the development of 5G systems. In this paper, a succinct overview is presented regarding the state of the art on the research on C-RAN with emphasis on fronthaul compression, baseband processing, medium access control, resource allocation, system-level considerations and standardization efforts.
