In this paper, performance of a turbo-coded PLC system is analyzed and simulated in a power line communication channel. Since the power line communication system typically operates in a hostile environment, turbo code has been employed to enhance reliability of transmitted data. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. As turbo decoding algorithms, Max-Log-MAP algorithms are chosen and performances are compared. The results in this paper can be applied to OFDM-based high-speed power line communication systems

This paper presents a way to maximize transmission efficiency and reception ability through transmission diversity technology, which can be adapted to wireless multimedia Wireless LAN system. The presented method is a comparative analysis between a case where parameter a for time average is 0.3.1 with consideration of channel presumption with two types of rms delayed spread, which is 50nsec. 150nsec, for the performance analysis of STTC (Space-Time Trellis Code) adopting time-space ciphering method appropriate for MIMO channel, and performance in the case where presumed channel value from long training column section is applied to according frame in a single frame. The result showed that BER brought SNR improvement of l.0dB in $10^{-3}$ when a was 0.3 than adopting only the long training column, and showed increase of general performance improvement for the sake of time average rather than the case without.

In the ubiquitous age, applications of wireless personal area network (WPAN) technology using LEDs are in progress. However, visible light communications (VLC) using the LEDs have weakness which deteriorate performance of communication because of multi-path fading that occurs propagation delay by interior walls or other things in indoor environments. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme is adapted to decrease multi-path fading and multi-path dispersion and to provide high speed data transmission. Besides, to reduce information losses caused by optical noise (incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, sunbeam etc.) also proposed channel coding using turbo codes. The encoding and decoding of the proposed system is described, and simulation results are analyzed. We can know that performance of proposed system is increased about 4 [dB] through the simulation results. Also, when the system take doppler effect, the system performance worsened.

In this paper, the new decoding algorithm of Block Turbo Codes using Channel State Information(CSI), which is estimated to compensate for the distorted signal caused by multi-path fading, is proposed in order to improve error correction capacity during decoding procedure in OFDM system. The performance of the new decoding algorithm is compared to that of the conventional decoding algorithm without using channel state information under the Rayleigh fading channel. Experimental results showed that in case of only one iteration coding gains of up to 5.0dB~9.0dB can be obtained by applying the channel state information to the conventional decoding algorithm according to the modulation methods. In addition to that, the new decoding algorithm using channel state information at only one iteration shows a performance improvement of 3.5dB to 5.0dB when compared to the conventional decoding algorithm after four iterations. This leads to reduce the considerable amount of computation.

In this paper, we evaluate system performance and propose signal separation and detection when a user with one antenna shares the co-channel together with a user with two space-time coded antennas. The proposed technique can identify co-channel users by an interference cancellation method and detect the signals by maximum likelihood method. Simulation results show that the shortcoming of the Minimum Mean-Squared Error technique which can be applied two users with the same number of antenna but can not applied for heterogeneous MIMO users with the different number of antennas. Also, we apply the proposed scheme to OFDM system and evaluate the system performance. By simulations, we identify that the performance of the proposed system is the same as that of the existing single antenna users and improves the performance of the two-antenna MIMO users.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems utilizing direct conversion receiver suffer from frequency selective (FS) and frequency independent (FI) phase and gain imbalances caused by imperfect local oscillator and low pass filter. In this paper, we analyze the impacts of the transmit/receive IQ imbalances on the system and propose the estimation and compensation schemes for those imbalances. The preamble signals coded by Alamouti scheme in the frequency domain could be used in the estimation of relatively large IQ imbalances with FS and FI characteristics and the estimation results are used for the compensation of distortions caused by the FI and FS IQ imbalances. The optimal maximum likelihood (ML) receiver or suboptimal ordered successive interference cancallation (OSIC) receiver utilizing the estimation results show symbol error rate (SER) performance improvement compared to zero-forcing (ZF) technique due to diversity gain inherent in the frequency domain IQ imbalances combined with the frequency selective channels.

In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme for asynchronous cooperative communications. Exploiting the combination of OFDM symbols at the source node and simple operations including sign change and complex product at the relay node, the proposed scheme can achieve cooperative diversity gain without use of time-reversion and shifting operations that the conventional scheme proposed by Li and Xia needs. In addition, by using the cyclic prefix (CP) removal and insertion operations at the relay node, the proposed scheme does not suffer from a considerable degradation of bit-error-rate (BER) performance even though perfect timing synchronization is not achieved at the relay node. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the BER performance of the proposed scheme is much superior to that of the conventional scheme in the presence of timing synchronization error at the relay node. It is also shown that the proposed scheme obtains two times higher diversity gain compared with the conventional scheme at the cost of half reduction in transmission efficiency.

In this paper, we propose the TCM(Trellis coded modulation) decoding scheme that reduces the number of operations in branch metric with STBC(space time block codes) channel information and present the implementation results. The proposed TCM decoding scheme needs only 1 signal point in each TCM subset. Using bias point scheme, It detects the minimum distance symbol. The proposed TCM decoding scheme can reduce the branch metric calculations. In case of 16QAM 8 subset, the reduction ratio is about 50％ and for 64QAM 8 subset, about 80％ reduction can be obtained. The results of logic synthesis for the TCM and STBC decoder with the proposed scheme are 57.6K gate count.

Powerline communications (PLC) technology has been discussed and analyzed as a highly potential candidate of wireline access network solutions. In this paper, performance of double binary turbo coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is analyzed and simulated in power line communications channel. In order to make power line channel environments, Bernoulli-Gaussian noise is considered. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the double binary turbo coding scheme offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding complexity. It is also shown that the system performance can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations.
