열악한 전송 환경에서 고품질, 고신뢰성 통신을 지속적으로 하기 위해서 오류 정정 부호는 필수 적이다. 최근에 반복 복호를 통해 샤논의 채널 용량 한계에 근접하는 터보 부호와 LDPC부호가 가장 관심을 불러일으키고 있다. 반복 복호법은 성능 면에서는 우수해 지나 이에 따른 계산량 증가와 지연이 수반된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 모의 실험을 통한 수신 데이터를 이용, SNR을 추정하여 LDPC 부호의 최대 반복 복호수에 따른 계산량과 지연을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 적응적 반복 복호수 설정 방식을 제안한다.

In Distributed Video Coding(DVC), a low complexity encoder can be realized by shifting complex processes of encoder such as motion estimation to decoder. Since not only motion estimation/compensation processes but also channel decoding process needs to be performed at DVC decoder, the complexity of a decoder is significantly increased in consequence. Therefore, various fast channel decoding methods are proposed for the most computationally complex part, which is the channel decoding process in DVC decoding. As the channel decoding process becomes faster using various methods, however, the complexity of the other processes are relatively highlighted. For instance, the complexity of side information generation process in the DVC decoder is relatively increased. In this paper, therefore, a fast method for the DVC decoding is proposed by using adaptive search range method in side information generation process. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves time saving of about 63% in side information generation process, while its rate distortion performance is degraded only by about 0.17% in BDBR.

In the two-way relay channel, the relay employ Amplify-and-Forward (AF) or Decode-and-Forward (DF) protocol, and broadcast the network-coded signal to both user. In the system, DF protocol provides maximum throughput at low signal to noise ratio(SNR). On the other hand, at high SNR, AF protocol provides maximum throughput. The paper propose active transmission scheme which employ Amplify-and-Forward or Decode-and-Forward protocol based on received SNR at the relay over Two-way relay channel. The optimal threshold is investigated numerically for switching the protocol. Through numerical results, we confirm that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes over two-way relay channel.

In this paper, we propose a practical iterative channel estimation and decoding method for an LDPC-coded frequency hopping OFDMA system in the uplink of a packet-based cellular system. In the method, the channel gain and noise variance are iteratively estimated with both pilot symbols and LDPC decoder outputs to provide more reliable decoding metrics in intercell interference (ICI) environments. In addition, the channel correlation coefficient is also estimated to select proper filter coefficients according to the channel variation rate. Through simulations under the various channel conditions and different receiver configurations, it is shown that the proposed iterative receiver improves the performance without boosting the pilot power and mitigates the adverse effects of the non-uniform ICI.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN에 적합한 16QAM/OFDM 시스템의 성능을 AWGN과 two-ray 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하고 성능 향상을 위한 방법으로 비터비 복호를 하는 길쌈 부호와 단일 탭의 LMS 등화기를 사용한다. 길쌈 부호를 사용하면 AWGN과 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에서 각각 경판정(hard-decision)은 2dB, 6 dB, 연판정(soft-decision)은 4.5 dB, 10 dB의 이득을 얻는다. 또한 다중 경로 페이딩 환경에서 경판정 비터비 복호와 단일 탭의 LMS 등화기를 함께 사용하는 경우에는 경판정 복호만을 사용하는 경우보다 5 dB 향상됨을 알 수 있다.

Turbo code, a kind of channel coding technique, has ben used in the field of digital mobile communication system if the number of iterations is increased in the several channel environments, my further iteration results in very little improvement, and requires much delay and computation in proportion to the number of iterations. In this paper, it proposes an efficient stopping rules for the iteration process in turbo decoding. By using absolute mean values for the LLR difference values between the first and second decoder in the present decoding process, the proposed algorithm can largely reduce the average number of iterations without BER performance degradation in all SNR regions. As a result of simulation, the average number of iterations of proposed algorithm is reduced by about $18.25%{\sim}20.58%$ compared to SDR algerian in the lower SNR region, and is reduced by about $22.96%{\sim}28.74%$ compared to method using variance values of extrinsic information in the upper SNR region.

차세대 멀티미디어 이동통신인 IMT-2000의 규격에서는 3GPP와 3GPP2에서 모두 터보 코드를 채널 코덱으로 채택하고 있다. 그 중 3GPP 에서는 용도에 따라 길쌈부호와, 제한길이 4인 1/3 터보코드를 선택적으로 사용하도록 정의되어 있다. 터보코드는 복호기의 출력으로 경판정 복호 비트에 대한 신뢰도 값을 동시에 생성하여, 이를 이용한 반복복호로 우수한 BER 특성을 얻을 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 3GPP 규격의 터보 복호기에 적용할 수 있는 내부 복호기로서 SOVA 복호기를 설계하였다. 또한 터보 복호기에서의 연판정 출력값의 중요성을 감안하여, 누적메트릭 정규화에 있어서 신뢰도 값에 영향을 주지않는 구조를 제안하여 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 구조의 3GPP SOVA 복호기를 설계하기 위하여 C++를 이용하여 알고리즘에 대한 성능을 검증하였으며, 이를 기반으로 VHDL을 이용하여 복호기를 설계하였다. 마지막으로 Altera사의 EPF10K100GC503 FPGA를 이용하여 복호기를 하드웨어로 구현하였다.

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 distributed video coding, low complexity encoder can be realized by shifting encoder-side complex processes to decoder-side. However, not only motion estimation/compensation processes but also complex LDPC decoding process are imposed to the Wyner-Ziv decoder, therefore decoder-side complexity has been one important issue to improve. LDPC decoding process consists of numerous iterative decoding processes, therefore complexity increases as the number of iteration increases. This iterative LDPC decoding process accounts for more than 60% of whole WZ decoding complexity, therefore it can be said to be a main target for complexity reduction. Previously, HDA (Hard Decision Aided) method is introduced for fast LDPC decoding process. For currently received parity bits, HDA method certainly reduces the complexity of decoding process, however, LDPC decoding process is still performed even with insufficient amount of parity request which cannot lead to successful LDPC decoding. Therefore, we can further reduce complexity by avoiding the decoding process for insufficient parity bits. In this paper, therefore, a parity request estimation method is proposed using bit plane-wise correlation and temporal correlation. Joint usage of HDA method and the proposed method achieves about 72% of complexity reduction in LDPC decoding process, while rate distortion performance is degraded only by -0.0275 dB in BDPSNR.

본 논문에서는 지상파 3D HDTV 방송 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 기존의 유럽형 HDTV 방송 서비스인 DVB-T2 전송 시스템의 채널 부호군을 연구하고, 이 시스템의 외부 부호(Outer Code)로 쓰이는 BCH 부호의 경판정(Hard Decision)을 통한 복호를 연판정(Soft Decision)을 통한 복호로 수정함으로써 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 또한 기존의 DVB-T2 전송시스템의 성능을 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 기존의 외부 부호(Outer Code)인 BCH 부호와 내부 부호(Inner Code)인 LDPC 부호의 조합을 연판정이 가능하고 복호하는 블록(Block)의 길이가 더 짧아진 BTC(Block Turbo Code)부호와 LDPC 부호와의 조합으로 바꿈으로써 기존의 DVB-T2 전송 시스템보다 블록 오류율이 낮아짐을 확인하였다.
