In this paper, we describe the optimization of the link-level performance and the complexity of floating-point and fixed-point methods in IEEE 802.16e OFDMA/TDD mobile modem. In floating-point design, we propose the channel estimation methods for downlink traffic channel and select the optimized method using computer simulation. So we also propose efficent algorithms for time and frequency synchronization, Digital Front End and CINR estimation scheme to optimize the system performance. Furthermore, we describe fixed-point method of uplink traffic and control channels. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is validated using the performances of Detection, False Alarm, Missing Probability and Mean Acquisition Time, PER Curve, etc. For fixed-point design, we propose an efficient methodology for optimized fixed-point design from floating-point At last, we design fixed-point of traffic channel, time and frequency synchronization, DFE block in uplink and downlink. The tradeoff between performance and complexity are optimized through computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose an uplink dynamic resource allocation algorithm to increase sector throughput and fairness among users in 802.16e OFDMA TDD system. In uplink, we address the difference between uplink and downlink channel state information in 802.16e OFDMA TDD system. The simulation results show that not only an increment of 10% of sector throughput but higher level of fairness is achieved by round-robin using the FLR and the rate / margin adaptive inner closed-loop power control algorithm. The FLR algorithm determines the number of sub-channels to be allocated to the user according to the user's position. Also, we get 31.8% more sector throughput compared with the round-robin using FLR by FASA algorithm using uplink channel state information. User selection, sub-channel allocation, power allocation algorithms and simulation methodology are mentioned in Part I.

This paper aims to find a suitable solution to joint allocation of sub-channel and transmit power for multiple users in an IEEE 802.16e OFDMA/TDD cellular system. We propose the FASA (Fairness insured Aggressive Sub-channel Allocation) algorithm, which is a dynamic channel allocation algorithm that considers all of the users' channel state information conditionally in order to maximize throughput while taking into account fairness. A dynamic power allocation algorithm, i.e., an improved CHC algorithm, is also proposed in combination with the FASA algorithm. It collects the extra downlink transmit power and re-allocates it to other potential users. Simulation results show that the joint allocation scheme with the improved CHC power allocation algorithm provides an additional increase of sector throughput while simultaneously enhancing fairness. Four frames of time delay for CQI feedback and scheduling are considered. Furthermore, by addressing the difference between uplink and downlink scheduling in an IEEE 802.16e OFDMA TDD system, we can employ the uplink channel information directly via channel sounding, resulting in more accurate uplink dynamic resource allocation.

This paper solves the problem of finding a suitable sub-channel and power joint allocation method for multiple users in 802.16e OFDMA/TDD cellular systems. The joint allocation is thatfirstly the sub-channel is allocated to the users and then suitable power is allocated. We propose a FASA (Fairness insured Aggressive Sub-channel Allocation) algorithm which is a dynamic channel allocation algorithm considering all users' channel state information conditionally to maximize fairness and throughput. The improved CHC algorithm, which is dynamic power allocation algorithm, is also proposed in this paper The Improved CHC algorithm collects the extra of the downlink transmit power and then re-allocates it to other users. Simulation results show that the proposed improved CHC algorithm additionally increases the fairness and sector throughput.

In this paper, we explain the operation scheme and fixed-point design method of DFE (Digital Front End), which performs DC offset compensation, automatic frequency control, and automatic gain control over the input signal to the UE (User Equipment) receiver of IEEE 802.16e OFDMA-TDD system. Then, we analyze the performance of DFE under ITU-R M. 1225 Veh-A 60km/h channel environment. To optimize the fixed-point design of DFE, we reduce the number of bit resulted from calculation without performance degradation, leading to the decreased complexity of the operation in H/W, and design the Loop filter with considering trade-off between the Acquisition time and the Stability.

This paper propose to methodology for deciding suitable bit size that minimizes hardware complexity and performance degradation from floating-point design the fixed-point implementation of downlink traffic channel of IEEE 802.16e OFDMA TDD system. One of the major considering issues for implementing fixed-point design is to select Saturation or Quantization properly with the knowledge of signal distribution by pdf or histogram. Also, through trial and error, we should execute exhaustive computer simulation for various bit sizes, hence obtain appropriate bit size while minimizing performance degradation. We carry out computer simulation to decide the optimized bit size of downlink traffic channel under AWGN and ITU-R M.1225 Veh-A channel model.

The present paper proposes two different packet scheduling algorithms in the IEEE 802.16e type TDD-OFDMA downlink, which are the weighted fair scheduling(WFS) and the throughput guarantee scheduling(TGS). The performance of proposed scheduling algorithms are compared to some of conventional schedulers such as round robin(RR), proportional fair(PF), fast fair throughput(FFTH), and fair throughput(FH) in terms of service coverage, effective throughput and fairness at 64 kbps and 128 kbps minimum user throughput requirements. For a relatively smaller throughput(64 kbps) requirement, the proposed algorithms provide higher improvement in the number of users per sector within 95$\%$ service coverage while satisfying the lxEV-DV fairness criterion. For a relatively larger throughput(128 kbps) requirement, the proposed algorithms provide higher coverage enhancement while maintaining the same effective aggregate throughput over PF scheduler.

Simple-relay aided resource allocation (SRARA) schemes are incorporated with throughput guarantee scheduling (TGS) in IEEE 802.16 type TDD-OFDMA downlink to enhance service coverage, where the amount of resources at each relay is limited due to either its available power which is much smaller than base station (BS) power or the required overhead The performance of SRARA schemes is evaluated with both proportional fair (PF) and TGS schedulers at 64 kbps and 128 kbps user throughput requirements. For SRARA with RSs of relatively lower power, a scheme putting total power into only one subchannel shows larger coverage than when both subchnnels are used in a manner of equal power allocation, while the RS with evenly power-allocated two subchannels could provide larger coverage gain for a relatively higher power. In a lower target (64kbps), more improvement comes from relay scheme rather than scheduler design. For a relatively higher level (128 kbps), it comes from scheduler design rather than relay.

WiBro(Wireless Broadband Internet) is the standard of high-speed portable internet based on OFDMA/TDD (Orthogonal frequency division multiple access / Time division duplexing) techniques, and the subset of consolidated version of IEEE802.16e Wireless MAN standard. In this paper, we propose performance improvements of WiBro system using the LVQ(Learning Vector Quantization) blind equalization. Proposed method used the prefiltering LVQ neural network blind equalization in the Broadband WiBro system receiver. The prefiltering LVQ neural network constellates 16QAM that is transmitter data shape and the blind equalization removes ICI(Inter Carrier Interference). To verificate the proposed method usability, the MSE(Mean Square Error) and the BER(Bit Error Rate) are simulated. The simulation results shown that is improved the performances of the proposed WiBro system using the LVQ blind equalization than the existing WiBro system.
