Tutorials and Workshops on Communications Signals Research
by Hong-Yeop Song, Yonsei University, Korea
First of all, I would like to introduce the Special Research Group on Communications Signals Research within KICS. It was established approximately four years ago to disseminate and promote the future generation of communications signal research within KICS initiated by the Research Center for Convergence Technology. We have approximately 50 general members and some volunteers, including myself, SJ Oh and NY Lee from Korea University, KS Kim and JH Park from Yonsei University, SH KIM from SKK University, JH Kim from Sejong University, SW Kim, and SN Hong from Hanyang University. The main events of our group are (1) the announcement of the Call for Proposal (CFP) to the members of KICS in early November, (2) deciding on some proposals in February, (3) workshops in March, August, and November, and (4) a tutorial program in summer.
This year, the tutorial program was planned for four days with the following topics and speakers, as shown in the picture. The final day was included in the Second Workshop of the Research Group on Communications Signals Research. The total number of registrations was approximately 80, including those from external companies and students our Operating Committee members.
The final workshop of the year was planned as a special session of the KICS 2023 Fall conference at Lahan Select, Gyeongju, Korea. This year, all of the five PIs of the following research projects have briefly presented their results:
(1) Detection and separation of combined signals in the same frequency band
(2) Design of digital communication systems using LABVIEW
(3) Frequency synchronization of MF-TDMA systems for satellite communications
(4) Modulation techniques for long range and low-power digital communications
(5) Combined positioning and communications systems with improved capacity
In addition, we had two invited talks:
▶ Issue and Trend of Global/Regional Navigation Satellite Systems Technology (Past, Present and Future) by Prof. JH WON from Inha University and
▶ Fronthaul and Frame Structure Optimization for LET-based Open NTN by Prof. HJ RYU of Korea University.
More than 30 committee members of the group and others from the general audience who attended the KICS Fall conference attended the workshop, and we all had a great time asking and answering questions on various topics of communication signals research.
We thank all the speakers, including the two invited professors, all working members of the group, and the KICS Fall Conference Committee for this successful workshop.
