본 논문에서는 two-ray 시간선택성 레일레이 페이딩 채널상에서 DPSK 신호를 차동검출 (differential detection)할 때 심볼에러율을 분석한다. 현재까지 수행된 많은 연구는 주파수 선택성 페이딩 채널 및 단일 경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 대상으로 하였고, 다경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 대상으로 한 예는 극히 드물다. 또한 다경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 가장 간단히 모델링 할 수 있는 two-ray 페이딩 채널에 대한 연구도 지금까지 수행된 예가 극히 적다. 본 논문에서는 심볼열의 형태에 따라 수신신호들간의 관계를 세가지 그룹으로 나눈 후 각각의 경우에 대하여 위상 옵셋값을 계산하는 방식을 취하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 위상옵셋과 신호대 잡음비를 인자로 하여 차동검출된 신호가 가지는 위상의 확률밀도 함수를 계산하고 이 함수를 이용하여 심볼에러율을 계산하였다. 결과로부터 two-ray 페이딩 채널의 특성을 결정짓는 지연시간과 지연신호의 전력이 증가함에 따라 위상 옵셋값 및 에러율이 모두 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

For designing radio communication systems, radio-channel effects must be considered in order to obtain the desired communication quality, transmitting power, transmission speed and bit error rate. In radio channel, one of major factors that degrade communication quality is multipath fading between transmitting and receiving points. Therefore, a channel model which can describe fading effects correctly is requested. This paper deals with the composition of the channel simulator model that describes multipath fading effects and delay times which occur in the channel. For the performance analysis of the proposed model, trandmitting signal is used in the simulation. From simulation results, it can be shown that probability density function. level crossing rates and average fading-duration time distribution of the faded receive signal are very similar with theoretic values.

무선 다중경로 채널에서 데이터를 고속으로 전송할 경우, 신호는 페이딩, ISI(inter-symbol interfrence) 등의 영향으로 높은 에러율을 가지게 된다. 현재의 DSRC 시스템은 1Mbps 이상의 데이터 서비스가 어려울 것으로 예상되므로 개선된 변복조방식이 요구된다. OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식은 보호기간의 삽입을 통하여 ISI를 방지할 수 있으므로 고속 데이터 전송에 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 12 Mbps 전송 속도를 갖는 OFDM/QPSK 통신 시스템의 BER 성능을 비교${\cdot}$분석하고 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 채널 상태를 추정 보상하기 위하여 판정 궤환경 등화기(Decision Feedback Equalizer)를 적용하여 시스템 성능을 개선하였다.

In this paper, an equalization technique for OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in a time-variant multipath fading environment is described. A loss of subchannel orthogonality due to time-varying multipath fading channels leads to interchannel interference (ICI) which increases the error floor in proportion to Doppler frequency. A simple frequency-domain equalizer which can compensate the effect of ICI caused by time variation of multipath fading channel is proposed by modifying the previous frequency-domain equalization technique with taking into account only the ICI terms significantly affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via computer simulation by applying it to OFDM systems when the multipath fading channel is slowly time variant.

In this paper, performance of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) which is OFDM with a forward error correction code, is studied in frequency selective fading underwater acoustic communication channel. The OFDM is a multiplexing technique resistant to frequency selective multipath channel. In OFDM, a broadband information signal is transformed into several narrow band signals and transmits narrow band signals whose bandwidths are less than the channel coherence bandwidth. However, its performance is degraded in a specific narrow band signal due to its deep fading by multipath. To mitigate this degradation, COFDM which is OFDM with convolution code as a forward error correction code, is evaluated. The performance of COFDM is found to be better than that of OFDM in multipath channel.

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.

The error are equation of DC-CDMA/MDPSK signal has been derived in m-distribution and Rician fading channels. Predeteception multipath MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity technique is employed for improving the bit error rate performance. The suitability of modeling a Rician fading environment by properly chosen m-distribution model is examined. Using the derived equation the error performance has been evaluated and shown in figures as a function of PN code sequence length(N), user number(U), multipath number(P), fading index(m), Rician factor(K), number of diversity branches(L) and ($E_b/N_o$). The results show that the error performance in Rician fading agrees well with that in m-distribution fading as fading becomes weak and as user number(U) increases and as multipath number(P) increases and diversity number(L) increases.

고품질, 고속 데이터 전송을 요구하는 제 3세대 무선 통신 시스템에서는 페이딩 현상에 효과적으로 대처하기 위한 방안으로 여러 가지 다이버시티 기법이 연구되어 왔다. 특히 최근 들어 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 시스템에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있으며, 이러한 추세에 부합하여 송수신단에 여러 개의 안테나를 사용하여 수신단의 SNR을 최대화하는 MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) 기법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 플랫페이딩 (flat Fading) 채널에 국한된 기존의 MRT 연구 결과를 확장하여 다중 경로 페이딩 채널에 대한 MRT 기법을 유도하고 성능을 분석하였으며, 이를 검증하기 위하여 모의실험을 수행하여 다중경로 및 안테나 수에 따른 비트오율 성능을 제시하였다

Underwater acoustic communication channel is often defined as a multipath fading channel since the multipath arrivals from various paths interfere with each other and cause frequency dependent constructive or destructive interference in received signals. Therefore signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of received signal fluctuates as a function of frequency. In addition, sea surface fluctuation induces frequency dependent time variant signal fading due to coherent component variation of surface bounce path. The frequency shift keying (FSK) system is known to be less sensitive and more robust under these interference and fading, and M-ary frequency shift keying (MFSK) system is adopted to increase a data rate. In this study, a bit error rate (BER) of 4 channels 4FSK system are examined in shallow sea multipath channel. Experimental results show that RS code reduces efficiently the BER of 4FSK system since frequency dependent time-varying fading is characterized to give burst errors. The BER of a different data rate or different source-to-receiver range depends on not only the channel coherent bandwidth but also frequency dependent multipath fading.

In this paper, we propose a method using cooperative spectrum sensing to avoid multipath and frequency selective fading. One of methods in conventional scheme was multi input multi output (MIMO) solution. However, in the wireless environment, mobile device hardly supports multi antenna because of limitation of hardware. Motivated from above problems, the proposed method provides the information of excellent channel to transmitter. As a result, quality of service (QoS) required by users can be satisfied. Finally, performance of the proposed protocol is analyzed in term of bit error rate (BER).
