In this paper, the use of an antenna array is considered for code timing acquisition of DS-CDMA signals. The probabilities of acquisition are evaluated by applying multiple narrow fixed-beams to the conventional MUSIC acquisition approach in the multiuser environment on the time-varying Rayleigh fading channel. Each fixed-beam for spatial filtering is dedicated to an individual angular sector that is formed by dividing the entire angular domain by the number of antenna elements. The fixed-beams with a capability of interference suppression provide the additional degrees of freedom,. Hence, the multibeam-based MUSIC estimator can be used to synchronize to more users than the conventional MUSIC algorithm for one antenna. The multibeam-based subspace method is evaluated to significantly improve the performance of a single antenna based MUSIC technique in multiuser scenarios.

The investigation into the effect of various feedback errors on system performance can help the robust feedback channel design and transmission of exact feedback channel information as well. In this paper, we address the algorithm that determines space combining weight vector maximizing received signal power at mobile on frequency flat fading channel and investigate the performance degradation by feedback channel delay in the FDD/CDMA systems employing transmit beamforming. We observe the effect of feedback channel delay corresponding to the number of transmit antennas and the temporal/spatial correlation of channel. The results show that performance is more sensitive to feedback delay with the larger number of antennas when fadings at transmit antennas are not spatially correlated.

Unitary matrix modulation (UMM) is investigated in multiple antennas system that is called unitary space-time modulation (USTM). In an OFDM, the diagonal components of UMM with splitting over the coherence bandwidth (UMM-S/OFDM) have been proposed. Recently LDPC code is strongly attended and studied due to simple decoding property with good error correction property. In this paper, we propose LDPC coded UMM-S/OFDM for increasing the system performance. Our proposed system can obtain frequency diversity using UMM-S/OFDM like USTM/OFDM, and large coding gain using LDPC code. The superior characteristics of the proposed UMM-S/OFDM are demonstrated by extensive computer simulations in multi-path Rayleigh fading channel.

In this paper, a channel estimation based on the time-domain windowing and its imperfectness in OFDM-based multiple-antenna transmission systems are analyzed with an emphasis on a preamble design for multi-channel separation, From the computer simulation results, the OFDM-CDMA system applying a space-time-frequency diversity with a full-rate full diversity code can give the diversity of D = 4 and D = 8 for both multi-user cases of maximum user and half user capacities, respectively

본 논문에서는 다중 빔을 사용한 저궤도 위성 이동 통신시스템 환경에서 부호 분할 다중접속 및 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식의 채널 용량을 비교 분석하였다. 위성 중계기의 출 력의 효율성, 주파수 효율성, 부호화 방식 및 안테나의 EIRP나 G/T형태 등과 같은 파라미 터들을 순방향 링크와 역방향 링크에서 채널 용량을 결정하는 시스템 파라미터로서 고려하 였고, 피더 링크(feeder link)는 Ku-band를, 사용자는 링크는 L-band를 사용한 다중 스팟빔 (spot beam) 시스템을 채널 용량 분석의 모델로 적용하였다. 분석결과 도플러 현상 및 다중 경로에 강한 부호 분할 다중접속 방식이 용량면에서 주파수 분할 다중접속 방식에 비해 성 능이 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

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.

This paper proposes the efficient transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme considering trade-off between the performance and the complexity in massive MIMO system. The massive MIMO system is a core technology to achieve performance objectives for 5 generation wireless communication. It achieve high spectral efficiency, a reliability, and a diversity gain. However many RF chains required by massive transmit antennas equipped in a base station create the problem such as high hardware cost and complexity. Therefor we investigates the transmit antenna selection scheme, in which the number of RF chains of BS is reduced, and the trade-off between the performance and the complexity is considered for proposed scheme. And, the spectral efficiency and complexity are analysed by transmit antenna selection schemes.

고품질, 고속 데이터 전송을 요구하는 제 3세대 무선 통신 시스템에서는 페이딩 현상에 효과적으로 대처하기 위한 방안으로 여러 가지 다이버시티 기법이 연구되어 왔다. 특히 최근 들어 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 시스템에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으며, 이러한 추세에 부합하여 송수신단에 여러 개의 안테나를 사용하여 수신단의 SNR을 최대화하는 MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) 기법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 플랫페이딩 (flat Fading) 채널에 국한된 기존의 MRT 연구 결과를 확장하여 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에 대한 MRT 기법을 유도하고 성능을 분석하였으며, 이를 검증하기 위하여 모의실험을 수행하여 다중경로 및 안테나 수에 따른 비트오율 성능을 제시하였다

다중 안테나 전송 기술은 추가적인 대역폭의 필요 없이 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 이유로 차세대 방송기술 및 이동 통신기술에서는 대용량 데이터 전송을 위하여 다중 안테나 전송기술을 채택하고 있다. 또 다른 차세대 무선 통신 시스템의 큰 특징은 무선 통신 환경에서 발생하는 다중 경로 및 무선 경로 페이딩에 의한 성능 저하를 극복하기 위하여 연판정 검출 값을 반복적으로 사용하는 오류정정부호의 사용에 있다. 이 경우에 수신단에서 MIMO 검출 후 수행되는 터보 부호에 대한 복호 과정에서 연판정 입력이 필요하고, 이 연판정 입력 값이 복호 성능에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 효율적인 연판정 검출 값이 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 MIMO 검출 후 M-ary QAM 복조시 경판정 경계를 이용한 연판정 검출방법을 이용하여 적은 연산을 요구하는 M-ary QAM 의 연판정 검출 방식을 제안한다.
