In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood signal detection scheme for a generalized spatial modulation system that activates only a subset of transmit antennas among multiple antennas and transmits information through the indexes of active antennas as well as through the transmit symbols. The proposed maximum likelihood receiver extracts a set of candidate solutions based on their a posteriori probabilities to lower the computational load of the robust receiver under channel information errors. Then, the chosen candidate solutions are exploited to estimate the covariance matrix of effective noise. Simulation results show that the proposed maximum likelihood detection scheme achieves better error performance than a receiver that does not take into account the channel information errors. It is also seen that it reduces the computational complexity with the same bit error rate performance as the conventional robust maximum likelihood receiver.

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity robust maximum likelihood (ML) receiver for generalized spatial modulation. The proposed receiver performs the transmit antenna partition to lower the computational loads. After we divide the transmit antenna combinations into two parts, one of which is "the likely TAC part," and the other of which is "the unlikely TAC part", based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) filtering output. We first perform the maximum likelihood detection only in the likely TAC part. Then we evaluate the reliability of the solution found in the first search, and based its reliability we decide whether we continue the search in the unlikely TAC part. This partitioned search strategy maintains the performance of the conventional robust maximum likelihood receiver and simultaneously lowers computational loads. Through simulation, we found that our newly-proposed receiver achieves considerable gains over the conventional robust ML detector in terms of the computational loads while providing almost the same performance.

In this paper, we develop an iterative maximum likelihood (ML) receiver for generalized spatial modulation systems. In the proposed ML receiver, to mitigate the deleterious effect of channel information errors on symbol detection, the instantaneous covariance matrix of effective noise is estimated, which is then used to obtain improved ML solutions. The estimated covariance matrix is updated through multiple iterations to enhance the estimation accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed ML receiver outperforms the conventional ML detection scheme, which does not take the effect of channel information errors into account.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate the performance of a cooperative communication system adopting a maximum likelihood (ML) equalizer. In wireless communication systems, cooperative communication schemes employing several relays can be applied for extending the communication coverage. It is assumed that both relays and user terminals can move. Therefore, coverages of two or more relays can overlap each other. If wanted and interfering signals are transmitted through the same channel and there are one terminal in the overlapped region, its performance is degraded due to interference. Hence, we use a ML equalizer for rejecting the effect of interfering signal and enhancing the communication system performance. The cooperative system performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the ML receiver shows good interference cancellation performance although its complexity is high.

격자 감소 (lattice reduction) 알고리즘은 주어진 기저 벡터를 직교에 가까운 기저 벡터로 바꾸어 준다. 그중 대표적인 알고리즘으로 LLL (Lenstra, Lenstra & Lovasz) 알고리즘이 있다. 격자 감소 알고리즘을 이용하여 다중 안테나 입출력 (MIMO) 통신시스템의 선형 수신기(linear detector)의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 스피어 복호 알고리즘 (sphere decoding algorithm)은 MIMO 통신 시스템에서 사용되는 복호기중 최대 우도 복호기 (Maximum Likelihood Detector)와 비슷한 BER(bit error rate)성능을 가지고 복잡도를 줄일 수 있어서 많이 연구되어 왔다. 이때 스피어의 반지름의 설정이나 트리 검색 구조 방식 등은 복잡도에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 LLL 알고리즘에 기반하여 스피어의 반지름 설정 및 트리 검색 노드 수를 제한하는 방식으로 스피어 복호 알고리즘의 복잡도를 기존 알고리즘에 비해 크게 낮추면서도 비트 오류률 (BER) 성능 열화를 최소한으로 한 알고리즘을 제안하고 전산 실험을 통해 검증한다.

In this paper, we consider the quasi maximum likelihood(quasi-ML) detector which uses antenna arrays in asynchronous time-varing channels. It is shown that the proposed quasi-ml detector can be regarded as a beamformer followed by a decorrelator: a method based on the eigendecomposition of the correlation matrix of the inverse-filtered signal is proposed to estimate the channel vectors. We also show that the proposed algorithm estimates the channel vector within small mismatch loss in severe propagation environment through computer simulations.

In this paper we studied a conventional system and propose a new decoding scheme for Space-time Frequency Code with Interleaved System. We also addressed the quasi orthogonal function with Jacket matrices in modern 3GPP LTE uplinked advance system. We also introduce the Partial Interference Cancellation (PIC) group decoding which provides a framework to adjust the complexity-performance tradeoff by choosing the sizes of the information symbols groups.

본 논문에서는 IM-OFDM-SS(index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with spread spectrum)와 IM-OFDM-QOS(IM-OFDM with quasi-orthogonal sequence) 시스템을 위한 2 단계 검출 (2-stage detection) 방법에 대해 연구하였다. IM-OFDM-SS/QOS 시스템은 전송할 수열의 인덱스(index)와 변조심볼(modulation symbol)을 이용하여 정보를 전달하며, 수신기(receiver)에서는 인덱스와 변조 심볼을 결합하여 동시에 검출하는 최대 우도(maximum-likelihood) 검출 방법을 사용할 수 있다. 그리고, 인덱스를 먼저 검출하고, 검출한 인덱스에 대한 변조 심볼을 이어서 검출하는 2 단계 방법을 적용할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IM-OFDM-QOS 시스템에 2 단계 검출 방법을 적용하여 성능을 비교한다. 또한, 두 개 이상의 수열을 동시에 전송하는 경우 2 단계 검출 방법의 한계를 논의한다.

본고에서는 RGB LED전광판을 이용한 가시광 정보 방송시스템에 대하여 기술한다. 현재 상용 RGB LED로 구성된 전광판에 기존의 디스플레이 기능 외에 디지털 데이터 변조기능을 부가하였다. 전광판의 규격은 1단 2열 구조로 설정하였고, 전광판의 모든 RGB LED는 NRZ 10/20 Mbps신호로 동시에 변조가 가능하도록 설계하였다. LED가 공기 중으로 방사한 가시광 신호의 성능은 수신기를 통해 데이터를 검출한 뒤에 비트오율을 측정하여 검증하였다. 전광판 RGB LED를 최대한 활용하여 LED를 10 Mbps 데이터 신호로 변조하여 방송했을 때 에러 없이 5.6m이상 전송이 가능하였고, 전송 속도가 20 Mbps인 경우는 $10^{-6}$비트오율 기준으로 5.6m까지 방송이 가능하였다. 향후 전광판 LED가 통신용으로 설계된 제품으로 대체되어 변조 특성이 좋아지고, 전광판 구조가 커져 전광판이 방출하는 전체 광출력이 증가하면 전송 특성이 보다 향상될 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, we describe an arrival time guidance system of circular vehicles using GPS, CDMA and TCP/IP technology. The on-board equipment consists of a GPS receiver and a PDA phone. The on-board equipment sends the current position data of the vehicle to the positioning server via CDMA and Internet. The server predicts the arrival time to the next bus-stop. Any user can lookup the current position and the predicted arrival time of the vehicle utilizing his mobile phone, PDA phone, or Web.
