Alamouti space-time code (STC) is a part of the UMTS-WCDMA standard. However, up to the best of our knowledge no exact closed-form outage and bit error probability (BEP) formulas for this famous code exists. Evaluating its performance through simulations is time-consuming and therefore, there should be analytical performance graphs to serve as a reference which are derived in this paper for coherently MPSK-modulated data. Additionally, analytical results take into account different channel fading levels from transmit antennas to receive ones.

We derive and analyze the exact closed-form expression for the average bit error probability (BEP) of M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) for diversity reception in frequency-nonselective Nakagami fading. A maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity technique with independent or correlated fading cases are considered. Numerical results demonstrate error performance improvement with the use of MRC diversity reception. The presented new expressions offer a convenient way to evaluate the performance of M-ary square QAM with an MRC diversity combiner for various cases of practical interest.

본 논문에서는 계층간 교차 (Cross-Layer) 개념을 적용하여 터보 (Turbo) 부호화된 광 (Optical) 부호분할 다중접속 (CDMA : Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템의 네트워크 성능을 분석하고 실험하였다. 계층간 교차 개념은 물리 (Physical) 계층과 매체접근제어 (MAC : Medium Access Control) 계층을 고려하였다. 시스템은 펄스위치변조 (PPM : Pulse Position Modulation)를 적용한 강도변조/직접검파 (IM/DD : Intensity Modulation/Direct Detection) 방식의 광 시스템을 고려하였다. 그리고 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 병렬 연접된 길쌈부호 (PCCC : Parallel Concatenated Convolutional Code)로 이루어진 터보 부호를 사용하였다. 네트워크의 성능은 비트오류확률 (BEP : Bit Error Probabiliy) 측면에서 분석되었다. 모의실험 결과, 터보 부호는 적당한 부호화 및 복호화 복잡도에서 상당한 부호화 이득을 제공하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 일정한 부호화율 (Code Rate)에서 인터리버 길이와 복호과정에서의 반복 복호 횟수를 증가시킬수록 시스템 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of a space-time coded system operating over spatially correlated fast (constant over the duration of a symbol) and slow (constant over the length of a code word) fad­ing channels using a moment-generating function-based approach. We discuss two analytical techniques that can be used to evaluate the exact-PEPs (and therefore, approximate the average bit error probability (BEP)) in closed form. These analytical expressions are more realistic than previously published PEP expressions as they fully account for antenna spacing, antenna geometries (uniform linear array, uniform grid array, uniform circular array, etc.) and scattering models (uniform, Gaussian, Laplacian, Von-mises, etc.). Inclusion of spatial information in these expressions provides valuable insights into the physical factors determining the performance of a space-time code. Using these new PEP expressions, we investigate the effect of antenna spacing, antenna geometries and azimuth power distribution parameters (angle of arrival/departure and angular spread) on the performance of a four-state QPSK space-time trellis code proposed by Tarokh et al. for two transmit antennas.

In this paper, the network performance of a turbo coded optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system with cross-layer, which is between physical and network layers, concept is analyzed and simulated. We consider physical and MAC layers in a cross-layer concept. An intensity-modulated/direct-detection (IM/DD) optical system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) for satellite broadcasting communications is considered. In order to increase the system performance, turbo codes composed of parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCCs) is utilized. The network performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BEP). From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity. Also, it is confirmed that the performance of such an optical CDMA network can be substantially improved by increasing the interleaver length and the number of iterations in the decoding process. The results of this paper can be applied to implement the satellite broadcasting communications.
