In this paper, we have propose a preamble structure and synchronization/channel estimation method for UWB-MIMO which has 960Mbps transmit rate. The proposed structure is a compatible preamble structure for synchronization/channel estimation used by MIMO in MB-OFDM(Multi-Band OFDM) systems that are one of the standard systems of MBOA. The system is compatible with MB-OFDM using the proposed preamble structure. In this paper, we argue the problem in receiver part used by MIMO technique. And we simulate the proposed preamble for using synchronization/channel estimation. The simulation result shows the same performance compared with single receiver antenna.

The nonorthogonality between the real and imaginary FBMC/OQAM modulated signals complicates the channel estimation (CE) process, and conventional OFDM CE methods cannot be directly applied to FBMC/OQAM. The conventional preamble-based CE schemes in FBMC/OQAM systems are mainly based on the interference approximation method (IAM) to improve the estimation performance. In this paper, we develop a novel preamble structure to improve the CE performance. We exploit the symmetry pattern to cancel interference and take into account the interference weights in this symmetric structure. The conventional preamble and the proposed preamble are compared via simulations in the IEEE 802.22, 3GPP Vehicular A and Pedestrian A channels. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed preamble can achieve better bit error ratio (BER) and mean squared error (MSE) performance under the three channel models considered.

In this paper, we propose a high speed preamble searcher feasible for RACH(Random Access Channel) preamble structure in WCDMA reverse link receiver. Unlike IS-95, WCDMA system uses AISMA(Acquisition Indication Sense Multiple Access) process. Because of the time limit between RACH preamble transmission and AI(Acquisition Indicators), and the restriction on the number of RACH signatures assigned to RACH preamble, fast acquisition indication is required for efficient operation. The preamble searcher proposed in this paper is based on 2-antenna system and has adopted FHT algorithm that has the radix-2 16 point FFT structure. The acquisition speed using FHT is 64 times faster than the conventional method that correlates each signature. Based on their fast aquisition scheme, we improved the acquisition performance by calculating the correlation up to the 4096 chips of the total preamble length. The performance is analyzed by using Neyman-pearson method. The proposed algorithm has been applied for the implementation of WCDMA reverse link receiver modem successfully.

In this paper, we propose a new preamble structure for channel estimation in a MIMO OFDM-based WLAN System. Moreover, both the backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11a system and low overhead are considered for the preamble design. Simulation results show that the proposed preamble has low overhead and is obtained the good performance gain for channel estimation.

In this paper, an efficient structure of device-to-device (D2D) synchronization preamble is proposed to meet the enhanced time and frequency synchronization requirements for D2D communication. D2D communication can be applied not only for the cellular communications, but also unmaned aerial vehicle communications and vehicle-to vehicle communication. The proposed preamble structure is transmitting signals at every odd subcarriers, and empty the other subcarriers to minimize the effect of inter-carrier interference. According to the simulation results, the proposed preamble structure provides improved time offset estimation performance, without degrading frequency offset estimation performance compared to the current LTE D2D preamble.

This paper is related with optimum burst structure design for high efficient TDMA satellite return link transmission. In general, some typical burst structure for data transmission is composed of a pair of preamble and traffic data in the DVB-RCS (Digital Video Broadcasting. Return Channel via Satellite) and IPOS (IP over Satellite) standard. This structure has some difficulties to increase spectral efficiency that it requires a large of preamble length, high SNR environment, or receiver complexity. To cope with them, burst structure with distributed pilot symbol can be used to alleviate the residual frequency offset effect by calculating accurate frequency offset than conventional one. In particular, we investigate some relevant to proposed distributed pilot structure, previously and analyze their strong points/drawbacks in terms of synchronization to draw the most appropriate one.

In this paper, we propose a preamble structure and synchronization/channel estimation methods for OFDM-based multiple antenna WLAN systems that have 200Mbps transmit rate. With the proposed preamble structure, multiple antenna WLAN systems are backward-compatible with IEEE 802.11a systems which use the same 5㎓ band and synchronization performance is better than that of single antenna OFDM systems. For channel estimation, the preamble overhead is small and performance degradation by timing synchronization error that causes the critical problem of conventional comb-type multiple antenna channel estimation method also can be minimized by frequency domain phase recovery. Synchronizer and channel estimator for proposed preamble structure are implemented and verified using Verilog HDL. For the system with 4 transmit antennas and 4 receive antennas, about 150K gates are needed for synchronizer and 12K gates for channel estimator.

MAC protocol has been studied for reducing energy consumption in wireless sensor networks. The overhearing and idle In the existing asynchronous MAC Protocol will occur due to unnecessary energy consumption. In this paper, to solve these problems, the Preamble to change the structure of the destination address, the Preamble of the end times, the data including the length of the Preamble and Data Overhearing reduce the length of the Check Interval Data generated according to the presence of the Dynamic Value dynamically adjustable by changing the DPL (Dynamic Preamble Length)-MAC protocol was proposed. Moreover, the existing asynchronous MAC protocol of wireless sensor networks and DPL-MAC protocol proposed in this paper to simulate the energy consumption and latency were assessed in terms of comparative analysis.

In this paper, we proposed preamble structure and code acquisition method to improve code acquisition performance for DS-SS/TDMA packet communication systems. Proposed algorithm changes the short PN code position depending on the sub slot number. Proposed algorithm also saves position differences between short PN codes and position offsets between short PN codes and data starting position of the TDMA packet. By using the position difference table, proposed algorithm can find out exact data starting position even though some sub slots were defected. As a result of simulation, we concluded that proposed algorithm has at least 5dB gain compared to conventional method when same short PN code is used. Moreover, proposed algorithm shows same code acquisition performance only with 1/4 shortened short PN code compared to conventional method.

An OFDM/offset QAM (OQAM)-IOTA system uses the isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) function, which has good localization properties in the time and frequency domains. This is employed instead of the guard interval used in a conventional OFDM/QAM system in order to be robust for multi-path channels. However, the conventional channel estimation scheme is not valid for an OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system due to the intrinsic inter-symbol interference of the IOTA function. In this paper, a condition is derived to reduce the intrinsic interference of the IOTA function. This condition is obtained with the proposed pilot structure used for perfect channel estimation. We also derive the preamble structure appropriate for practical channel estimation of the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system. Simulation results show that the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system with the proposed preamble structure performs better than the conventional OFDM system, and it has the additional advantage of an increased data transmission rate which corresponds to the guard interval retrieval.
