Emerging Technologies in Mobile Communications for 2020

Abstract

Recently, it becomes essential for firms or nations to forecast the future and identify emerging technologies in order to improve R&D efficiency and gain a competitive advantage. Particularly, the mobile communications industry is characterized by rapid advance and wide application of its technology and thus identifying emerging technologies is more important in the industry than in others. Nevertheless, few attempts have been made to explore its emerging technologies. Therefore, this research aims to develop a methodology to identify the future and emerging technologies especially for the industry and applied it to list top ten emerging technologies for 2020 in the industry. For this purpose, firstly, we focused the key issues in the future targeting 2020 and identified user needs relating to them. Then, candidates of emerging technologies were defined from a set of technologies to meet the needs, for which technological and economic feasibility is assessed to determine their priorities. Finally, the top ten most important technologies were selected and verified. This research is distinct from the previous studies in that it takes a market-pull approach instead of a technology-push approach. The research results are expected to provide valuable information to support strategy-and policy-makings in the mobile communications industry.주저자：아주대학교 산업공학과,

An Optimized Multi-Bit Digital FSK Receiver Robust to CFO for Long-Range WPAN Applications

“…For all schemes, the bit rate is 1/T = 50 KHz and fd = 25 KHz with h = 1, as in IEEE 802.15.4g SUN standard [1] . For the receiver parameters, we considered fIF = 200 KHz and d = T/2.…”

“…Recently, there has been a significant interest regarding the optimal command and control applications for smart utility networks (SUN), low energy critical infrastructure monitoring (LECIM) networks, and TV white space (TVWS) WPAN systems [1] . Targeting those applications, the IEEE with limited battery consumption, typically operating in the long-range, e. g., 1 Km [2] .…”

“…Accordingly, 15.4g SUN selected the narrow-band FSK PHY and the other 15.4k and 15.4m standards are also considering the similar FSK PHY due to its advantages of low-complexity and low-power consumption [1] . However, those standards demand longer communication range (e. g., 1 Km) and specify the short preamble (e. g., 4-byte), which leads to reconsideration of the existing FSK architectures.…”
