In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a moving average (MA) channel estimation filter when space-time block coding transmit diversity (STBC-TD) is applied to the wideband direct sequence code division multiple access (WCDMA) forward link. And we present the infinite impulse response (IIR) filter scheme that can reduce the required memory buffer and the channel estimation delay time. This paper also compares the performance between MA filter scheme and IIR filter scheme in various Rayleigh fading channel environments through the bit error rate (BER) and the frame error rate (FER). Extensive computer simulation results show that transmission with STBC-TD provides a significant gain in performance over no transmit diversity technique, particularly at pedestrian speeds. If STBC-TD technique is employed in the channel estimator based on MA filter, it provides considerable performance gains against Rayleigh fading and reduces the optimum filter tap number. Consequently, the channel estimation delay time and the complexity of the receiver are reduced. In addition, the channel estimator based on IIR filter has the advantages such as little memory requirement and no delay time compared to the MA scheme. However, IIR filter coefficients is very sensitive to the mobile speed change and it exerts a serious influence upon the performance. For that reason, it is important to set uP the optimum IIR filter coefficients.

In this paper, an adaptive RSSD(reduced-state sequence detection) receiver is proposed for the purpose of reducing the complexity and decision delay of the adaptive MLSD(maximum-likelihood sequence detection) receiver in the mobile satellite channel. The RSSD receiver reconstructs the trellis with a reduced number of states. The performance degradation due to the reduced states is compensated by modifying the branch metric calculation which uses the symbols in each path memory to estimate the residual ISI(intersymbol interference) terms. The structure of the proposed adaptive RSSD is a modified RSSD utilizing a per-survivor processing as well as the symbol-aided method and a channel estimation using the tentative data sequences. The complexity and performance of the proposed adaptive RSSD are controlled by the number of system states and ISI cancelers and the inserting period of the known symbols. In spite of a suboptimal alternative receiver compared to the adaptive MLSD receiver, the proposed adaptive RSSD receiver is able to reduce the complexity significantly and track the time-varying channel fast and reliably.

The equalizer is the central part of the receiver and its performance significantly affects the overall performance of the system in the mobile communication. A proposed equalizer is composed of the channel estimator, MLSE based on the Viterbi algorithm and GMSK decoder. The approximation of GMSK with QPSK has great impact on the equalizer design, because it allows us to use the existing simple and efficient algorithms for designing optimal QPSK equalizer. In order to estimate efficiently channel, we use a sliding window algorithm based on energy calculation and cross-correlator. And also a tuning scheme is presented in order to improve the equalizer performance. Simulation results indicate that a proposed equalizer meets the GSM standards easily in terms of performance.

In this paper, the performance of equalization-based on-channel repeater for terrestrial DMB is analyzed. A primary concern in on-channel repeater is the performance degradation due to the echo and one of key component for on-channel repeater is the echo canceller, which usually employs LMS algorithm utilizing the repeater output as a reference for echo channel estimation and compensation. One problem using LMS algorithm is the tracking capability and there necessarily exists residual echo that has not been cancelled. To effectivelyremove the residual echo, we consider an equalization based on-channel repeater where the echo-cancellor is followed by an equalizer that performs channel estimation using pilot symbol and the channel inversion utilizing homomorphic decomposition. According to the simulation result, the performance degradation caused by the residual echo can be considerably alleviated by using the equalizer following the echo-canceller.

DS-CDMA system requeires a power-efficient transmission and reception scheme to increase capacity. In this paper, coherent detection of DS-CDMA system with M-ary orthogonal signaling is considered, and multistage decision-directed channel estimator is proposed. The multistage decision-directed channel estimator is based on the fact that better channel estimation can be obtained by using the final decisions of the detector with a conventional decision-directed channel estimator. In this scheme, symbol detector and channel estimator operate algernaely. by simulation, it is shown that the proposed method achieves performance gain capare to conventional method, specially at low signal to noise ratio over fast time-variant channel with diversity.

Ambient backscatter communication has a drawback in which the transmission power is limited because the data is transmitted using the ambient RF signal. In order to improve transmission efficiency between transceiver, a channel estimator capable of estimating channel state at a receiver is needed. In this paper, we consider the K-means algorithm to improve the performance of the channel estimator based on EM algorithm. The simulation uses MSE as a performance parameter to verify the performance of the proposed channel estimator. The initial value setting through K-means shows improved performance compared to the channel estimation method using the general EM algorithm.

In this paper, a pilot emitting amplify-and-forward relay and its beamforming schemes, OBF (overall beamforming) and RBF (hop-by-hop beamforming), are proposed for two-hop relaying systems. The OBF performs beamforming with respect to a overall channel from a source node (SN) to a destination node (DN) through a relay node (RN), while the proposed RBF performs two independent beamformings: from the SN to the RN and from the RN to the DN. From our analytic and numerical results, it is shown that bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed RBF is better than that of the OBF scheme since the RBF system can estimate channel more proper than the CBF system, which is verified by deriving and comparing the mean square errors of the channel estimation.

디지털 기술의 발달로 인해 세계 각국에서 지상파 DTV 방송망을 핵심인프라로 활용하기 위한 노력이 지속되고 있다. 하지만 국내 지상파 DTV 표준인 ATSC방식은 주파수 이용관점에서 효율적이지 못한 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 그 동안 동일채널 중계기술이 많이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 동일채널간섭으로 인한 신호품질 저하, 긴 처리시간, 송출전력 제한 등의 제약조건으로 인해 실제 방송망에서는 동일채널 중계기술이 활용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 DAB용 간섭제거 기반 동일채널 중계기를 ATSC 시스템에 적용하였다. 제안하는 동일채널 중계기는 타이밍 옵셋 보상을 위한 위상 전 왜곡기법, 파일럿 성분 추정 및 제거를 위한 직류 제거기, 송/수신신호 간의 상관도를 기반으로 궤환신호의 지연시간을 추정하는 기법이 적용되었으며, 전산 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 확인하였다. 전산 모의실험을 통해 주 송신신호보다 간섭신호가 큰 환경에서 제안한 동일채널 중계기의 간섭제거 능력을 확인하였고, 이에 따라 동일채널 중계기의 송출능력을 개선하는 동시에 짧은 처리 지연시간 및 양호한 신호품질을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, a channel estimation scheme for high-speed Binary CDMA systems is proposed and its performances are investigated. In high-speed Binary CDMA which adopt high order modulations, since BER(bit error rate) performances are deteriorated when equalizer does not converge enough during preamble period it is preferred to set the optimum coefficients of equalizer through channel estimation. In this paper, taking notice of repetition of CAZAC sequence in preamble period, a channel estimation scheme is proposed, which can improve estimation performances with few complexity increase. From the simulation results, one can see that the proposed channel estimation scheme can be implemented simply with no performance deterioration compared to the conventional one.
