The LDPC(Low-Density Parity-Check) code, which is one of the channel encoding methods in IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN standard, has superior error-correcting capabilities. Since the hardware complexity of LDPC decoder is high, it is very important to take into account the trade-offs between hardware complexity and decoding performance. In this paper, the effects of LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio) approximation on the performance of MSA(Min-Sum Algorithm)-based LDPC decoder are analyzed, and some optimal design conditions are derived. The parity check matrix with block length of 1,944 bits and code rate of 1/2 in IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard is used. In the case of $BER=10^{-3}$, the $E_b/N_o$ difference between LLR bit-widths (6,4) and (7,5) is 0.62 dB, and $E_b/N_o$ difference for iteration cycles 6 and 7 is 0.3 dB. The simulation results show that optimal BER performance can be achieved by LLR bit-width of (7,5) and iteration cycle of 7.

Code Select CDMA(CS/CDMA)(1)는 입력 데이터 열에 의하여 여러 채널의 직교코드를 선택하여 전송하는 기술로, 멀티코드 CDMA 의 구조를 가지면서도 전송신호의 크기가 일정하여 저가의 비선형 증폭기를 사용하여 구현 할 수 있다. 특히 입력 비트열을 부호화하여 직교코드들의 합을 일정하게 만드는 constant amplitude coded (CA-) CS/CDMA (2) 전송 기술은 2.4GHz ISM 대역의 WPAN을 위한 전송방식의 하나로 고려되고 있다. 이주파수 대역은 WLAN, 블루투스 등을 비롯한 여러 시스템이 존재하는 대역이므로 다른 종류의 시스템과의 상호 간섭의 문제를 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 2.4GHz ISM 대역을 같이 사용하게 될 IEEE 802.11b WLAN 과 CA-CS/CDMA 기반의 WPAN 상호 영향을 물리계층 측면에서 분석한다. IEEE 802.11b 모델로 11MHz 대역폭을 갖는 CCK (Complementary Code Keying) 변조방식을 대상으로 하며, CA-CS/CDMA 와의 중심주파수 차이에 따른 비트오율 성능을 신호대 간섭전력의 비를 변화시켜가면서 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 분석하였다.

A new error control line code based on an extended Hamming code is proposed and its performance is analyzed in this paper. The proposed code is capable of single error correction and double error detection since its minimum Hamming distance is 4. In addition, the error detection capability can be oncreased due to the redundancy bit used for line coding. As a result, the proposed code shows lower code rate, but better spectral characteristics in low frequency region and lower residual bit error rate than the conventional error correction line code using Hamming (7, 4) code.

In this paper, Modified system of the asynchronous repeat FH/MFSK transmission system is proposed. By transmitting data bits less that address bits, we can improue the system performance, we have evaluated the probability of word error of modified system and compared with the conventional system. And it is found that the modified system shows the improved performance. Also the structure of the receiver is remarkably simplified with the comparison of the conventional system.

In this parper, the performance of trellis coded DS/SSMA system using feedforward trellis encoder with sasymmetric signal constellation are evaluated over AW(In channel. The numerical results of trellis coded 4 PSK(code rate 1/2)and 8-PSK(code rate2/3) are calculated for 2-state and 4-state cases and compared with those of the Boudreau's system using feedback trellis encoder without optimizing the signal constellation. The method of moments is employed to evaluate the multiple access interference, in conjunction with the generalized transfer function techniques for trellis code. The numerical results show that the proposed system in this paper is always better than the Boudreau's system over AWGN channel; particularly at $P_b:10$, $0.2dB\sim2.4dB$ improvement over AWGN channel are obtained.

The polar transmitter is applied to the narrowband communication systems such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), and GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). To apply polar transmitter for the wideband communication like OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) where the high PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) problem occurs, this paper proposes a windowed-sinc function based PAPR reduction scheme. The proposed algorithm mitigates the effect of excessive suppression due to successive peaks or relatively high peaks of the signal. The BER (Bit Error Rate) and EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) performances are measured for various window types and lengths. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant improvement in terms of BER and PAPR reduction performance with similar spectrum performance to the conventional peak windowing scheme.

In this paper, we model the interference plus noise signal for terrestrial cloud transmission systems and present bit error rate (BER) performances. Since terrestrial cloud transmission systems experience co-channel interference from one or more transmitters, they have to operate under a negative signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) region. The interference plus noise signal can be modeled as Gaussian random variable under the required SINR region and we observe the BER performance of the cloud transmission system using the derived model. Also, we propose an improved channel estimation scheme by averaging the channel estimates based on least square based interpolation scheme. Simulation results show that the cloud transmission system can operate under negative SINR region using the proposed channel estimation scheme.

In this paper, the Bit Error Ratio (BER) performances of the D8PSK modulation schemes for VDL Mode-2 are analyzed according to the matched and unmatched cases of the channel filters. The carrier frequency and phase offset effects are analyzed with unmatched case. Generally in digital transmission techniques, the Root Raised Cosine filters which are used as channel filters are applied to both sides at transmitter and receiver in order to achieve no ISI, but in VDL Mode-2, the Raised Cosine Filter is used only in transmission section and the receiver section uses general low pass filter, therefore we could not achieve ISI reduction effects but can have better spectrum quality. From the simulation results, the error probability is increased slightly (1~2dB) with use of un-matched channel filter, we got the conclusions that carrier phase offset do not effect to bit error ratio, but the frequency offset effect is so serious. Finally, narrow band D8PSK modulation signals are generated by the use of Digital Up-Converter and then its features are compared with analog modulator.

In this paper, to improve the performance of PB/MC-CDMA system, we have researched about the decision feedback channel estimation method using the pilot symbol with data symbol. The PB/MC-CDMA system is able to obtain the improved BER by frequency diversity gain and frequency domain equalizer in the frequency selective fading channel. However, when it is not the estimating of channel exactly, it is degrading the performance of BER in the system for occurred the interference among users. To improve the performane system in the multi-user environment the proposed system is using the decision feedback to estimate channel using the channel estimated value of the first stage and second stage. The proposed system is evaluated by computer simulation. The proposed system is not only able to improve the performance of BER by decreasing the interference to each user, but also the proposed system is possible to reduce number of pilot symbol to estimate the channel. Therefore, it confirmed the proposed system improves the performance than the conventional system.

APSK (Amplitude Phase Shift Keying) digital modulation is characterized by the circular positioning of the transmission symbols in the constellation diagram. Due to such structural characteristics, the peak-to-average power ratio of the APSK modulation is lower than that of the QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and the amount of performance degradation over nonlinear channels can be mitigated. The APSK modulation scheme has recently been adopted as satellite communication system standards including the DVB-S2 (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite, Version 2). In this paper, a BER (Bit Error Rate) upper bound approximation formula is derived using the channel model with the output power saturation characteristics, and its accuracy is demonstrated. Using the derived formula, the input power level that minimizes the BER is determined. The optimized performance based on the radii ratio of the 16APSK constellation and the channel saturation level is also presented.
