The conventional OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation can be combined with WHT (Walsh-Hadamard Transform) to reduce PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) and improve BER (Bit Error Rate) performance. However, this WHT-based OFDM system still suffers a relatively high PAPR. Therefore, we suggest a new technique, called DGT (Data Grouping Technique) and design an OFDM system employing it and WHT to further decrease PAPR without the BER performance degradation. h salient property of DGT is the independence of the side information which is inherently a principal drawback of the well-known PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM system as well as WHT-based OFDM. The simulation programs have been also performed to verify the validity of the proposed system.

In wireless access systems, there has been much interest in enhancing the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM) in a frequency selective fading channel. If the channel is static and is perfectly known to both the transmitter and the receiver, the water-filling technique with adaptive modulation is known to be optimal. However, for OFDM systems, this requires intensive traffic overheads for reporting channel side information on all subcarriers to the transmitter In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulation and coding scheme for bit-interleaved coded OFDM (BIC-OFDM) for downlink packet transmissions with reduced feedback information. To minimize the feedback information, we employ a rate adaptation method based on the OFDM symbol rather than on each subcarrier. To illustrate the performance gap between the optimal water-filling and the proposed scheme, we will compare cutoff rates for both schemes. It is shown that the loss is less than 2dB while the proposed scheme significantly reduces the feedback payloads. Also, the OFDM system in multiuser environment with subcarrier grouping is considered. It is shown that by exploiting multiuser diversity the throughput of the proposed scheme approaches the channel outage capacity as the number of users and the number of subcarrier groups increase.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) signal with high PAPR(peak to average power ratio) produces the nonlinear distortion and/or decreases down the power efficiency of HPA(high power amplifier). So, the IMD(inter-modulation distortion) reduction method was proposed to reduce the nonlinear distortion, which shows better BER(bit error rate) performance than the PAPR reduction methods. However, IMD reduction method has inherent problem which system complexity and processing time increases because the FFT(fast Fourier transform) processor is added in transmitter and decision criterion of IMD reduction method is computed in frequency domain,. In this paper, therefore, we propose a new IMD reduction method to reduce the computational complexity and structure of IMD computation. And we apply this proposed method into OFDM system using PTS(partial transmit sequence) scheme and compare the computational complexity between conventional and proposed IMD reduction method. This method can reduce the system size and computational complexity. Also, the proposed has almost same BER performance with the conventional IMD reduction method.

This paper presents a simple resource allocation scheme for throughput enhancement in relay based orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) cellular systems. The resource allocation schemes, which are based on the optimization problem, have high computational complexity. That is why a searching process is required on the overall allocable resources. Since these schemes should be performed in real time, we propose a simple resource allocation scheme which has very low computational complexity. Firstly, we formulate the optimization problem and draw observations for throughput maximization. Based on observations, we propose a three step allocation scheme that separates the allocable resources into three (i.e. relay, frequency and time). By doing so, the computational complexity can be reduced. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has near-optimum performance in spite of its low computational complexity.

We treat device-to-device direct communication (D2D) by reusing cellular uplink resources in LTE-Advanced systems. Conventional schemes assume that D2D transmitter employs SC-FDMA scheme for the date transmission. In the conventional schemes, however, it is very difficult to reduce the interference between the users, D2D communication cannot be used when the interference caused by cellular uplink signal is high. In this paper, we propose D2D transmission scheme which employes MC-CDMA technology and D2D detection scheme which uses MMSE algorithm to reduce interference from the cellular uplink signal. Therefore, in the proposed scheme the D2D communication becomes possible even in the high interference scenario. Through simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has better BER performance than the conventional scheme.

This paper concerns the design of a matching module system enabling the RF signal to be harmonized between the new base stations (RRH) and the repeater in the same frequency band of the asynchronous transfer network. This matching system controls the RF Gain Control of the module while monitoring the quality of the quality. Additionally, the RF environment has been adapted accordingly to adjust the RF Gain Control to match the receiver characteristics of the relay. As a result of this study, we improved the quality of the interface between the new base stations and existing relays.

The standardization of third Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) has been performed in of order to support interactive multimedia services under mobile environments. In this 3GPP, transmit diversity solutions are applied to increase the available diversity effectively using 2 or more antennas. In this paper, we analyzer the performances on STTD(Space Time Transmit Diversity) technique and its modified techniques such as STTD-OTD, CL-STTD, and 4TX-STTD out of open loop transmit diversities that the standardization of 3GPP has released. We also propose the open loop transmitter and receiver diversities to add the receiver diversity. We analyze and discuss the performance of the proposed techniques and using the Matlab simulation under the flat fading channel environment.

In this paper, signed-rank based nonparametric detectors are used for direct sequence code division multiple access pseudo-noise code acquisition systems in frequency-selective Rician fading channels. We first derive the locally optimum rank detector, and then propose the locally suboptimum rank (LSR) and k-th order modified signed-rank (MSRk) detectors using approximate score functions. We compare the serial and hybrid parallel double-dwell schemes using the LSR and MSRk detectors with those using the conventional squared-sum (SS) using the cell averaging constant false alarm rate processor and modified sign detectors. From the simulation results, it is shown that the LSR and MSRk detectors perform better than the SS detector using the cell averaging constant false alarm rate processor.

In ad hoc networks, a distributed timing synchronization is studied using a firefly-inspired approach. We illuminate the exiting synchronization algorithm based on the theory of pulse-coupled oscillators so that the algorithm can be applied to multi-carrier systems through packet-based communications, where nodes communicate over an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access air interface. As our main result, we introduce a new sync-code detector, which optimally designs both the coupling function and the detection threshold when various network parameters such as the number of nodes in the network and network topology are given a priori. Computer simulations are performed to show the convergence to a synchronized state in realistic network environments.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers and, thus, a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) can occur when the subcarriers are added coherently. The high PAR brings such disadvantages as an increased complexity of the analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters and a reduced efficiency of the radio frequency (RF) power amplifier. In this paper, we propose a novel PAR reduction scheme called selective mapping of partial tones (SMOPT). The SMOPT scheme has a reduced complexity, lower sensitivity to peak reduction tones (PRT) positions, and a shorter processing time as compared with the conventional tone reservation (TR) scheme. The performance of the SMOPT scheme is analyzed based on the IEEE 802.1la wireless local area network(WLAM) physical layer model. Numerical results show that the SMOPT scheme outperforms the TR scheme under various scenarios.
