The channel capacity of fadingchannel becomes less than that of Gaussian noise channel. Moreover, the channel capacity of system with modulated signal is expected to be much less than that of system with nonmodulated signal. It is very difficult to evaluate the capacity in fading channel with modulated signal. The channel capacity for M-ary PSK signal has already been derived in Gaussian noise channel but it is very complicate form composed of complex integral formula. In this paper, we have derived the simple form of channel capacity with M-ary PSK signal by using the average symbol error rate. And we also evaluate the capacity in Rician and m-distribution fading channels as well as Gaussian noise channel. We have verified that the channel capacity obtained are almost the same as in other literature. As a results, we show that the channel capacity of M-art PSK signal increases to converge to the number of bits per symbol (log M) as signal to-noise power ratio increases.

Partial response maxim likelihood (PRML) is a powerful and indispensable detection scheme for perpendicular magnetic recording channels. The performance of PRML can be improved by incorporating a noise prediction scheme into branch metric computations of Viterbi algorithm (VA). However, the systems constructed by VA have shortcomings in the form of high complexity and cost. In this connection, a new simple detection scheme is proposed by exploiting the minimum run-length parameter d=1 of RLL code. The proposed detection scheme have a slicer instead of Viterbi detector and a noise predictor as a feedback filter. Therefore, to improve BER performance, the proposed detection scheme is extended to dual detection scheme for improving the BER performance. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a comparable performance to noise-predictive maximum likelihood (NPML) detector with less complexity when the partial response (PR) target is (1,2,1).

It is well-known that the performance of turbo codes can be improved by allocating different energies per code symbol. In this paper, based on this observation, we propose a joint encoding and modulation scheme for quadrature amplitude modulated turbo code systems. In the proposed scheme, the amount of energy difference between the turbo coded symbols is optimized by optimizing the constellation of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The proposed scheme offers better coding gain compared to the conventional combination of binary turbo code and QAM at the bit error rate of 10$^{-5}$. Also, the performance of binary turbo codes with the proposed QAM constellation for various code symbol mapping strategies are verified.

A correct and accurate model of optical data storage systems is very important in development and performance evaluation of various data detection algorithms. In this paper, we present an nonlinear modeling scheme of a super-resolution near-field structure (Super-RENS) read-out signal using the canonical piecewise-linear (PWL) and the second-order Volterra models. Nonlinear equalizers may be developed on the basis of the information obtained from this nonlinear modeling. To mitigate the nonlinear inter-symbol interference (ISI), we proposed a new nonlinear equalizer for Super-RENS discs. Its validity is tested with the RF signal samples obtained from a Super-RENS disc. The experiment results verified the possibility that the canonical PWL and the second-older Volterra models can be utilized for nonlinear modeling of Super-RENS systems. The proposed equalizers are superior to the one without equalization in terms of bit error rate (BER).

Systems for underwater environment monitoring and natural resources can be considered as a part of digital convergence where real-time data transmission is possible with the help of underwater wireless sensor network (UWSN). One of key technologies required for the deployment of the systems is underwater acoustic micro modem. In this work, we design and implement an acoustic modem equipped with a commercial omnidirectional transducer. We also make experiments at the northern Han river for the verification of the developed modem. According to the experiments, the modem supports the working distance of 250 m and the data rate of 200 bps with a negligible bit error rate. It is expected that the acoustic modem can be used for various applications based on UWSN in a near future.

We propose a predistorter to compensate for nolinear distortion induced by a high power amplifier employed in multi carrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. The proposed scheme rests upon the fixed point iteration (FPI) associated with the contraction mapping theorem. Unlike the predistorter based on the FPI already presented by the authors in other literatures which operates on complex-valued modulation signals, the proposed predistorter in this paper deals with real-valued FPI on modulation signal amplitudes, resulting in less complexity. Simulation results on a BPSK-modulated, 64-subcarrier synchronous MC-CDMA baseband system with a traveling wave tube amplifier in the transmitter, indicate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant improvement in terms of bit error rate and total degradation over those without the predistorter. Moreover, the proposed predistorter outperforms the complex-valued counterpart, in particular, for small output back-off levels.

Millimeter over Fiber (MMoF) technique modulates millimeter wave signal optically to transmit it through an optical fiber for long distances with small loss. MMoF system usually uses optical single sideband (OSSB) modulation scheme to reduce fiber chromatic dispersion and obtain high bandwidth efficiency. The optical link of MMoF system using OSSB is treated as a nonlinear amplifier, and the AM/AM characteristic function of the amplifier is a Bessel function of the first kind of order 1. In this paper, we investigate the performance of OFDM MMoF system considering nonlinearity of OSSB modulation. We estimate a power of the nonlinear distortion noise to analyze the theoretical bit error rate(BER), and perform a simulation to verify the theoretical BER.

A TC-16ADPSK scheme for transmitting different kinds of information simultaneously is proposed in this paper. The scheme is designed for simultaneously transmitting two kinds of Information on one channel. In signal mapping, a data of two kinds of information is used to phase modulation on Star-16APSK constellation and the other to amplitude modulation. In detection, each data independently recovers from mixing signal on each detector Therefore, we can transmit two kinds of Information on one channel can be transmitted efficiently. BER performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed on AWGN channel and Rayleigh fading channels on a computer with Matlab communication toolbox. On same SNR, the Gray code mapping has more 0.5-1.5dB coding gains than Ungerboeck's code mapping gains.

In this paper, we propose a cognitive beamforming scheme for coexistence of CR (Cognitive Radio) and IR (Incumbent Radio) systems. In order to maintain the priority of the IR in spectrum utilization the proposed cognitive beamforming scheme needs to have the CR not cause any interference to the IR systems occupying the same frequency band at the same time. In addition the proposed scheme has to provide maximum channel gain to the CRU (CR User) in a boundary of satisfying the former criterion. For this purpose, the proposed scheme does not cause any interference to the IRU (IR User), while the CRU is served without additional radio resource consumption. From simulation, we confirmed that when using the proposed scheme the CRU does not interfere with the IRU and there is little bit error rate performance degradation of the CRU as compared to that of the ideal beamforming system, which does not consider the IR priority.

We propose a selective detection scheme based on pulse repetition considering the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance and complexity of coherent IR-UWB (Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band) systems. To take system complexity into account, the proposed scheme transmits the UWB signals by pulse repetition at the transmitter, like conventional PRC (Pulse Repetition Coding). However, to effectively improve BER performance of the system, the proposed scheme performs selective detection by estimating the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the received pulse-repeated signal at the UWB receiver. Hence, the proposed scheme effectively improves BER performance of the coherent IR-UWB systems without increasing system complexity, as compared to the conventional PRC algorithm.
