In this paper, comparisons of the superimposition schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system are made. The time domain superimposition of data (TDSD) has a tradeoff between the degree of freedom for data transmission and inter-carrier interference (ICI). While SPPT and APSB experiences the increases of interference as the transmit data rate increases, TDSD can effectively improve spectral efficiency by exploiting preprocessing structures which prevents interference between the signals in the different domain. TDSD which we proposed is compared with the conventional superimposition schemes or OFDM, such as SPPT (the superimposed periodic pilot in the time domain) and APSB (the added pilot semi-blind channel estimation) by simulation. As the result, comparing the conventional OFDM, TDSD can increase the spectral efficiency up to about 20% with the superimposition factor M=16 while SPPT has the similar efficiency. APSB has the worst efficiency.

Ambient backscatter communication has a drawback in which the transmission power is limited because the data is transmitted using the ambient RF signal. In order to improve transmission efficiency between transceiver, a channel estimator capable of estimating channel state at a receiver is needed. In this paper, we consider the K-means algorithm to improve the performance of the channel estimator based on EM algorithm. The simulation uses MSE as a performance parameter to verify the performance of the proposed channel estimator. The initial value setting through K-means shows improved performance compared to the channel estimation method using the general EM algorithm.

A problem of signal transmitted and received in OFDM systems is considered. In particular, an efficient solution to the problem of blind channel estimation based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) principle has been investigated. The paper proposes a new upper-bound cost, used in conjunction with a standard branch and bound integer programming technique for solving the ML problem. The tighter upper-bound cost exploits a finite-alphabet property of the transmitted signal. The proposed upper-bound cost was found to greatly speed up the ML algorithm, thus reducing computational complexity. Experimental results and discussion are included.

For blind equalization, we propose a method of updating an equalizer, which generates an error from selectively applying a transmitted symbol constellation and that of induced equivalently from the transmitted symbol constellation and updates the equalizer by using this error. The proposed method, by selectively using the symbol constellation effective for improvement of symbol estimation accuracy and that of effective for improvement of error performance, showed that it is possible to improve the error performance at the same time to open the eye diagram of equalizer output quickly. As a criterion applying the symbol constellation, we used the dispersion of symbol points of equalizer output. In addition, to increase the accuracy of updating an equalizer the error was controlled by using current and previous dispersions. By simulation, under multipath channel with additive noise, we verified the equalization performance of the proposed method for 64-QAM.

In this paper, we propose a blind equalization method for advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (AT-DMB) systems which use hierarchical modulation. The AT-DMB system adopts hierarchical 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) to ensure backward-compatibly with the differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) signal of the legacy terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) systems and to support higher transmission rate. Due to the hierarchical modulation, the conventional T-DMB signal and the additional signal have different error rate at same signal to noise ratio (SNR). By weighting the decided symbols differently according to the reliability of the symbols, i.e., high priority symbol with low error rate and low priority symbol with high error rate, we can improve the channel estimation accuracy. In this paper, we analyze SNR loss by hierarchical modulation and confirm it through simulations. Moreover, through simulations, we verify that the proposed weighting method improve BER compared to the no-weighting method.

We present a new technique for achieving source separation when given only a single charmel recording. The main idea is based on exploiting the inherent time structure of sound sources by learning a priori sets of time-domain basis functions that encode the sources in a statistically efficient manner. We derive a learning algorithm using a maximum likelihood approach given the observed single charmel data and sets of basis functions. For each time point we infer the source parameters and their contribution factors. This inference is possible due to the prior knowledge of the basis functions and the associated coefficient densities. A flexible model for density estimation allows accurate modeling of the observation, and our experimental results exhibit a high level of separation performance for simulated mixtures as well as real environment recordings employing mixtures of two different sources. We show separation results of two music signals as well as the separation of two voice signals.

이 논문에서는 계층변조를 적용하는 AT-DMB (advanced terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting) 시스템을 위한 자력 채널추정 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 살펴본다. AT-DMB 시스템은 기존 T-DMB 시스템과의 호환성을 유지하기 데이터 전송채널의 경우 DQPSK 변조를 적용한 각 신호점을 다시 QPSK 변조하는 16-QAM 계층변조 방식을 적용한다. 또 프레임의 동기신호 및 정보채널은 기존 T-DMB 신호와 동일하게 유지한다. 이 신호들을 이용하여 자력 추정을 위한 채널의 초기치를 계산한다. 데이터 신호에 대해서는 일단 판정궤환 모드를 적용하여 채널을 추정한 후 시간 및 주파수 영역에서 인접 심볼 및 부반송파에 걸쳐 평균을 취함으로써 잡음의 영향을 감소시킨다. 모의실험을 통해 제시한 자력 채널추정 방식의 성능을 살펴본다.

This paper presents a new demixing method that separates each source from a stereo sound mixture. Under the W-Disjoint Orthogonal assumption in DUET(Degenerate Unmixing Estimation Technique) algorithm. The proposed method is mainly processed in time-frequency domain by using windowed-fourier transform. In this paper there are two main contributions: a weighted mask by panning index distances and a binary mask by comparing each channel value. The former has tender demixing characteristic, and the latter has stronger demixing characteristic. In experimental results, we will show that both masks produce more robust demixing than the existing demixing methods do.

A closed loop wireless transmission method adaptive to mobile unit speed is proposed in this paper. A mobile communication node measures the mobile speed based on the transmitted pilot signals through Doppler frequency estimation, and it changes the transmission period of pilot signals as per estimated mobile speed adaptively. The pilot signals with the different transmission periods are transmitted using the different PN sequences with the previous ones without any explicit information about the new period. The corresponding receiver node can detect and extract the transmitted pilot signals through blind search of the transmitted PN sequences of the pilot signals, and it can demodulate and decode the transmitted information using the channel estimation results based on the detected pilot signals. The performance of the proposed method had been analyzed through the simulation under the fading channel environments and compared with the previous methods. The simulation results showed performance improvement of the proposed method over the existing ones.

Beam-forming method based on the estimated channel information at the base station degrade the performance mismatching directional vector in case of systems which Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) center frequency of uplink and downlink are different. Also blind estimation technique which is to obtain directional vector of reverse link through received signal has disadvantage of hardware complexity increase. To solve these problems, in present paper, a smart antenna algorithm which is to improve the beam-forming complexity increase due to user number by appling the spatial fourier transform to be able to beam- forming toward a wanted direction through adjusting a obtained uplink weight function by estimating Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) to the competable form at the downlink is proposed. The proposed algorithm is integrated to the CDMA downlink transmitter and simulations are performed to confirm the performance as frame error rate at the receiver. As a result, the beam forming effect is confirmed and the performance gain with the proposed algorithm is comparable to ordinary smart antenna system.
