Frame Aggregation is a promissing technology for improving MAC throughput in IEEE 802.11n. In IEEE 802.11n, two frame aggregation schemes, Aggregate MSDU (A-MSDU) and Aggregate MPDU (A-MPDU), are defined. In this paper, we analyze the performance the two-level frame aggregation scheme where A-MSDU and A-MPDU are combined. We develop the analytical model for the two-level frame aggregation scheme and present numerical results on the effect of bit error rate, aggregation size, and the number of nodes.

OFDM communication system is effective for the high data rate transmission in the frequency selective fading channel. Since OFDM has high PAPR, OFDM signal may be distorted by the nonlinear HPA. In this paper, we propose an combined SLM and PTS method for reducing the PAPR in OFDM communication system. Proposed method increased some system complex in comparison with exiting method. But we made sure of high efficiency in the case of reducing the PAPR. As a result of using the 16-QAM modulation and increasing the carrier number in the SLM, PTS method and the SLM-PTS combined method, SLM-PTS combined method is more an effective method of reducing 3.5 dB PAPR than exiting OFDM system when this method is M, L=3, D=128, 256 in 10-3 BER.

This paper proposes a dolphin whistle mimicking underwater communication method using FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) and method to improve BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by using multipath gain combining. The proposed method divides whistle sound into short time intervals and transmits FSK modulated signal that ensures orthogonality of the symbol. Multipath gain can be obtained by using characteristic of mimicked signal frequency that varies with time. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulations and lake experiments were conducted. Computer simulation results show that an additional multipath gain is obtained by multipath. From lake experiments, when symbol length is 20 msec and modulation band is 900 Hz, the proposed FSK method with multipath combining gain obtains BER of 0.002, which is better than CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) with BER of 0.185. he proposed based on FSK method has higher imitation degree than the CSS method by analyzing mean cross-correlation value in the time - frequency domain of the imitated signal and actual whistle signal.

A variable-state block interference channel model is presented which matches asynchronous multiple-access slow frequency-hopped spread-spectrum systems which suffer from bursts of interference of variable duration. For variable-state block interference channels test pattern techniques combined with interleaving are presented from which the decoder obtain side information about channel states. By examining test patterns the decoder estimates which parts of data blocks are affected by interference and regards the parts of blocks affected by interference as erasures. Since the presence of test patterns reduces the number of bits for data transmission, test patterns are not useful for variable-state block interference channels for small hit probability, It is shown that test patterns increase the capacities of variable-state block interference channels for large hit probability. It is also shown that test patterns provide a almost full side information about channel states for certain values of parameters.

In spatially multiplexed MIMO systems that enable high data rate transmission over wireless communication channels, the spatial demultiplexing at the receiver is a challenging task and various demultiplexing methods have been developed. Among the previous methods, maximum likelihood detection with QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRM-MLD), sphere decoding (SD), QOC, and MOC schemes have been reported to achieve a (near) maximum likelihood (ML) hard decision performance. In general, however, the reliability of soft output of these schemes is not satisfactory. In this paper, we propose a method which enhances the reliability of soft output. By computer simulations, we demonstrate the improved performance by the proposed method.

It has been shown that the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing systems is significantly degraded when spatial correlation exists between transmit and receive antenna pairs. In this paper, we investigate designs of a new statistical precoder for spatial multiplexing systems with maximum likelihood (ML) receiver which requires only correlation statistics at the transmitter. Two kinds of closed-form solution precoders based on rotation and power allocation are proposed by means of maximizing the minimum E tlidean distance of joint symbol constellations. In addition, we extend our results to linear receivers for correlated channels. We provide a method which yields the same profits from the proposed precoders based on a simple zero-forcing (ZF) receiver. The simulation shows that 2dB and 8dB gains are achieved for ML and ZF systems with two transmit antennas, respectively, compared to the conventional systems.

In this paper, we combine the Hybrid-Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) algorithm with joint Tx and Rx antenna selection based on the reliability of the individual antennas links. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is applied on the data before being encoded using the Turbo encoder. In the receiver the CRC is used to detect errors of each antenna stream and to decide whether a retransmission is required or not. The receiver feeds back the transmitter with the Tx antennas ordering and the acknowledgement of each antenna (ACK or NACK). If the number of ACK antennas is higher than the NACK antennas, then the retransmission takes place from the ACK antennas using the Chase Combining (CC). If the number of the NACK antennas is higher than the ACK antennas then the ACK antennas are used to retransmit the data streams using the CC algorithm and additional NACK antennas are used to retransmit the remaining streams using Incremental Redundancy (IR, i.e. the encoder rate is reduced). Furthermore, the HARQ is used with the I-BLAST (Iterative-BLAST) which grantees a high transmission rate.

In this paper, a blind adaptation method for a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is proposed to deal with nominimum phase channels. This equalizer is composed of a linear transversal filter and a prediction error filter which are trained separately using constant modulus and decision feedback prediction algorithms, respectively, during the learnign time. The proposed algorithm guaranetees the DFE to converge to a suboptimal point on the condition that a linear transversal of the proposed scheme is illustrated and the performance is compared with conventional blind equlization algorithms.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme for wireless channels, which is a combination of a type I hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) scheme and a power ramping. The power ramping is considered for more reliable downlink data transmission, in which the transmission power is gradually changed from a small level to a large level when the number of retransmissions increases. The simulation results demonstrate that, when the power ramping step size is 0.5dB, the average throughput gain may be as high as 2% to 5% with properly selected parameters.
