In this paper, a simple and nonlinear MMSE detector is derived from the conventional linear MMSE detector to improve the system performance in turbo processing MIMO system and a new turbo processing MIMO system with nonlinear MMSE detector and Gaussian approximation is proposed. In turbo coded turbo processing MIMO system, the proposed system of M=N=4 performs about 0.5 dB better than the conventional system and the proposed system of M=N=8 performs about 0.4 dB better than conventional system at 1 % FER. In addition, the average number of outer iterations of proposed system shows lower than that of conventional system. This is caused by the fact that the nonlinear MMSE detector of proposed system decides soft-outputs of coded bits based on the observation of received signals, so that it can reduce the uncertainty region in estimating the coded bits.

Recently, researches about MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) system are being studied actively due to high-capacity and high-speed communication. However, MIMO system has many RF(Radio Frequency) chains according to many array antennas. So, MIMO system has disadvantages such as high-complexity and high-power-consumption. Also, it is impossible to miniaturize the antenna dimension. In order to solve these problems, beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna was proposed. It is possible to reduce the complexity and the power-consumption, because it has single RF chain by using one active antenna and several parasitic elements. In this paper, in order to improve the security, for the first time, chaos communication algorithm is applied to QPSK modulated beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR antenna. We define as chaos QPSK beamspace MIMO system, and evaluate the SER performance. Also, we confirm that QPSK symbols can be made by changing the reactance values of parasitic elements, and evaluate the SER performance of this system.

Huffman codes are widely used for image and video data transmission. As the increase of real-time data, a lot of studies on effective decoding algorithms and architectures have been done. In this paper, we proposed a balanced binary search tree for Huffman decoding and compared the performance of the proposed architecture with that of previous works. Based on definitions of the comparison of codewords with different lengths, the proposed architecture constructs a balanced binary tree which does not include empty internal nodes, and hence it is very efficient in the memory requirement. Performance evaluation results using actual image data show that the proposed architecture requires small number of table entries, and the decoding time is 1, 5, and 2.41 memory accesses in minimum, maximum, and average, respectively.

This paper presents packet detection, frequency offset estimation architecture and performance analysis for OFDM-based wireless personal area network (WPAN) systems. Packet detection structure is used to find the start point of a packet exactly in WPAN system as the correlation value passes the constant threshold value. The applied autocorrelation structure of the algorithm can be implemented simply compared to conventional packet detection algorithms. The proposed frequency offset estimation architecture is designed for phase rotation process structure, internal bit reduction to reduce hardware size and the frequency offset adjustment block to reduce look-up table size unlike the conventional structure. If the received signal can be compensated by estimated frequency offset through the correction block, it can reduce the impact on the frequency offset. Through the performance result, the proposed structure has lower hardware complexity and gate count compared to the conventional structure. Thus, the proposed structure for OFDM-based WPAN systems can be applied to the initial synchronization process and high-speed low-power WPAN chips.

In this paper, we propose a novel Alamouti space-time transmission scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based asynchronous cooperative communication systems with low relay complexity. The conventional scheme requires an additional operation likes time-reversal at the relay nodes besides the simple multiplications at the relay nodes, which result in increasing the complexity of relay nodes. Unlike the conventional scheme, exploiting the simple combination of the symbols at the source node and the simple multiplications at the relay nodes, the proposed scheme achieves the second order diversity gain by obtaining the Alamouti code structure at the destination node. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves the second order diversity gain and has the same bit error rate performance as the conventional scheme.

DVB-SSP is a new broadcasting system for hybrid satellite communications, which supports mobile handhold systems and fixed terrestrial systems. An upper layer, including erasure Reed-Solomon error correction combined with cyclic redundancy check. However, a critical factor must be considered in upper layer decoding. If there is only one bit error in an IP packet, the entire IP packet is considered as unreliable bytes, even if it contains correct bytes. If, for example, there is one real byte error, in an If packet of 512 bytes, 511 correct bytes are erased from the frame. Therefore, this paper proposed upper layer decoding methods; hybrid decoding. By means of simulation we show that the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to that of the conventional one in AWGN channel and TI channel.

In this paper, we propose a high level design architecture of WCDMA(UMTS) base station modem and synchronization algorithms applied to the proposed architecture. Also analysis of each synchronization algorithm and performance evaluation of fixed point designed modem are shown. Since the target system is base station modem, each synchronization algorithm is designed for its stable operation. To minimize implementation complexity, optimum fixed point design for best operation of synchronization algorithms is performed. We performed symbol level link simulation with fixed point designed modem simulator for data rate of 12.2kbps, 64kbps, 144kbps, and 384kbps. We compared performance results to the minimum requirements specified in 3GPP TS 25.104(Release 5). Extensive computer simulation shows that the proposed modem architecture has stable operation and outperform the minimum requirement by 2 dB. The proposed modem architecture has been applied in the implementation of WCDMA reverse link receiver modem chip successfully.

This paper proposes a self organizing RBF neural network equalizer for the equalization of digital communications. It is the most important for the equalizer using the RBF neural network to estimate the RBF centers correctly and quickly, which are the desired channel states. However, the previous RBF equalizers are not used in the actual communication system because of some drawbacks that the number of channel states has to be known in advance and many centers are necessary. Self organizing neural network equalizer proposed in this paper can implement the equalization without prior information regarding the number of channel states because it selects RBF centers among the signals that are transmitted to the equalizer by the new addition and removal criteria. Furthermore, the proposed equalizer has a merit that is able to make a equalization with fewer centers than those of prior one by the course of the training using LMS and clustering algorithm. In the linear, nonlinear and standard telephone channel, the proposed equalizer is compared with the optimal Bayesian equalizer for the BER performance, the symbol decision boundary and the number of centers. As a result of the comparison, we can confirm that the proposed equalizer has almost similar performance with the Bavesian enualizer.

This paper presents the results of a sea trial for long range underwater acoustic communication conducted in the East Sea in November 2020. Signals were collected through a moving transmitter and 16 vertically arranged receivers, and the range between the transmitter and receiver was about 20 km. The signal in the experiment is a conventional Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) method and a superimposed DSSS method that increases data rate by superimposing of multiple circulated Pseudo Noise (PN) sequences for each symbol. The results show that the uncoded bit error rate averaged over 16 channels to which the channel coding technique was not applied was 0.0005 for the conventional direct sequence spreading method, and was 0.00124 for the superimposed direct sequence spreading method.

This paper proposes a random sign reversal technique in space frequency block code for single carrier modulation. The traditional space time and frequency block coding technique may be confronted with radio environments openly, severe radio hijacking problems are to be overcome. In order to avoid such an open radio issue, random coded data protection technique for space-time block code was proposed, but this algorithm can change channel combination per an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing block. This kind of slow switching increases the probability that nearby receivers will detect the transmitted data. This paper proposes a fast switching algorithm per data symbols' basis which is a random sign reversal technique in space frequency block code for Single Carrier Modulation. It is shown in simulation that the proposed one has a superior performance in comparison with the performance of the receiver which do not know the random timing sequence of sign reversal.
