This paper proposes a novel error-correcting scheme using chaotic dynamics for noncoherent chaos communications. In our proposed system, two successive chaotic sequences are generated from the same chaotic map; the second sequence is generated with an initial value which is the last value of the first sequence. In this case, successive chaotic sequences having the same chaotic dynamics are created. This feature gives the receiver additional information to correctly recover the information data and thus improves the bit error performance of the receiver. As results of the computer simulation, we confirm that the advantage gained in BER performance of the proposed error-correcting method is about 1-1.5 dB compared to conventional method. In addition, we achieve that the proposed error-correcting scheme is performed without the new additional redundancy code by using the chaotic dynamics.<br/>

In this paper, we propose two dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) schemes, a game theory based DBA and a successive DBA, for satellite/terrestrial integrated mobile communication system (STICS). The game theory based DBA allocate the bandwidth according to a utility function based on a weighted demand bandwidth of both satellite and terrestrial system. The successive DBA recursively allocates an unit of bandwidth according to a weighted number of bandwidth unfilled cells of both satellite and terrestrial systems, until the total bandwidth is fulfilled. As results, both DBA outperform the conventional fixed bandwidth allocation scheme. Between two proposed DBA, the successive DBA shows better spectral improvement ratio than the game theory based DBA.

Ultra-Wideband is an attractive technology for short range positioning, especially indoors. However, for normal Time of Arrival (ToA) positioning, at least three receivers with unblocked direct path to the transmitter are required. This requirement is not always met. In this work, a novel algorithm for ToA positioning using only two receivers is presented and validated using data from a measurement campaign. Positioning with two receivers is possible by exploiting the knowledge of some of the indoor features, namely positions of big flat reflective surfaces, for example ceiling and walls.

Pulse-shaping OFDM, or more generally BFDM and BFDM/OQAM, systems are originally proposed to combat inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by time-variance of the channel. The main property that makes these signals robust against ICI is that they allow to employ time-frequency well localized pulses, particularly Gaussian pulse which has the best time-frequency localization. However, this property also suppresses the outband or inband spectral leakage of the BFDM and BFDM/OQAM signal, making them attractive physical layer modulation scheme for cognitive radio. In this paper we analyze the power density spectra of the BFDM and BFDM/OQAM signals and numerically evaluate the inband and outband spectra for truncated Gaussian pulses. © 2010 IEEE.

In a cooperative spectrum sensing system, many nodes perform spectrum sensing and report their decisions to one fusion center via control channels. This paper considers efficient use of the frequency band for the control channels. For this purpose, sequential-test is introduced for the local decision at each node. With this scheme, the transmission timing of the reports from the nodes becomes at random and necessary maximum bandwidth for the control channels decreases. Numerical results show that this sequential-test-base-scheme not only decreases the number of simultaneous reports but also improves sensing reliability. For further improvement, this paper also introduces a decision scheme at the fusion center based on probabilistic features of the reports from the nodes. ©2010 IEEE.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (international conference proceedings) Publisher：IEEE

In this paper, we consider visible light communication system using LED array as a transmitter and high-speed camera as a receiver for Intelligent Transport System (ITS). Previously, we have proposed the hierarchical coding scheme which allocates data to spatial frequency components of the image depending on the priority. This scheme is possible to receive information of the high-priority even if communication distance is long. However, we need to distinguish multi-valued data from the received image by using a hierarchical coding. In this paper, we propose two improved decoding methods, and demonstrate to distinguish multi-valued data more correctly in the experiment.

As one of ITS technique, a new visible light road-to-vehicle communication system at intersections is proposed. In this system, the communication between a vehicle and an LED traffic light is conducted using an LED traffic light as a transmitter, and an on-vehicle high-speed camera as a receiver. The LEDs in the transmitter emit light in high frequency and those emitting LEDs are captured by the high-speed camera for making communication. Here, the luminance value of LEDs in the transmitter should be captured in consecutive frames to achieve effective communication. For this purpose, first the transmitter should be found, then it should be tracked in consecutive frames by processing the images from the high-speed camera. In this paper, we propose new effective algorithms for finding and tracking the transmitter, which result in a increased communication speed, compared to the previous methods. Experiments using appropriate images showed the effectiveness of the proposals.

We propose a successive interference cancellation scheme (SIC)for the hierarchical coding parallel optical communication system using LED array and high-speed camera. The high priority data is first demodulated and Turbo-decoded. The retrieved high priority data is then re-modulated and subtracted from the received signal. In this way, the reliability of the middle priority data can be improved as the interference caused by the high priority data can be reduced. By the way, the performance of SIC depends on the performance of Turbo code. In this paper, we apply LogMAP decoding to improve the performance instead of MaxLogMAP algorithm that we have used in the previous.

In this paper, we propose a kalman channel estimator for MC-CDMA based Inter-Vehicle Communication (IVC). In IVC, the channel characteristic of each car is different among pilot signals because of a doppler shift, a multipath fading, and the difference of receiving power. Our proposed kalman channel estimator uses a kalman filter to track the channel fluctuation and implements a pilot-based channel estimation which interpolates among pilot signals by using an/interpolation polynomial into our proposed channel estimator to suppress an estimation error. As results, we show that the kalman channel estimator shows better performance than a pilot-based channel estimation.

The paper discusses the optimal cluster partitioning for wireless sensor networks deployed in continuous areas. Both single-hop and multi-hop transmissions with cooperative Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) scheme are considered for inter-cluster communications. The effects of cluster size in the energy consumption of intra-cluster communication and the amount of fused data are included in calculation. As a result, the dominant factors of the maximal network lifetimes are listed as: the cluster farthest from base station in single-hop transmission and the closest cluster in multi-hop transmission. In addition, the maximal network lifetimes of single-hop and multi-hop transmissions are compared and it is found that there exists a threshold of network size that determines which transmission is the better candidate. © 2010 IEEE.

This manuscript considers a secondary system sharing the spectrum with the primary system at the same time and on the same frequency. We propose a cognitive overlay system in which the secondary system relays the primary signal and piggybacks its own data on it. Furthermore, the secondary system uses the channel coding based on the dirty paper coding (DPC). The result of the analysis shows that the proposed scheme allows the secondary system to communicate at the same speed as the primary system without any harm to it. ©2010 IEEE.

Further, enhanced efficiency also comes from operating on successively modulated data; by involving less redundancy in the error correction system, it can be designed with high coding rate. In this paper, we analyze the scheme's capability, by examining computational times and accuracy rates of error correction. bounds on its capability.
