When wireless channels undergo fast fading, non-coherent frequency shift keying (FSK) (de)modulation schemes may be considered for amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communications. In this paper, we derive the bit-error-rate performance of partial non-coherent receiver as a lower bound of the optimal non-coherent receiver for FSK modulated AF cooperative communications. From the simulation and analytical results, it is found that the derived lower bound is very closed to simulation results. This result shows that knowing partial channel state information may not improve system performance significantly. On the other hand, conventional optimal non-coherent receiver involves complicated integration operation. To address the above complexity issue, we also propose a near optimal non-coherent receiver which does not involve integration operation. Simulation results have shown that the performance gap between the proposed near optimal receiver and the optimal receiver is small.

This paper presents cell ID (cell identity) detection schemes using PSS/SSS (primary synchronization signal/secondary synchronization signal) for 5G NR (new radio) system and evaluates the detection performance. In this paper, we consider two cell ID detection schemes, i.e. two-stage detection and joint detection schemes. The two-stage detection scheme consists of two stages which estimate a channel gain between a transmitter and receiver and detect the PSS and SSS sequences. The joint detection scheme jointly detects the PSS and SSS sequences. In addition, this paper presents coherent and non-coherent combining schemes. The coherent scheme calculates the correlation value for the total length of the given PSS and SSS sequences, and the non-coherent combining scheme calculates the correlation within each group by dividing the total length of the sequence into several groups and then combines them non-coherently. For the detection schemes considered in this paper, the detection error rates of PSS, SSS and overall cell ID are evaluated and compared through computer simulations. The simulation results show that the joint detection scheme outperforms the two-stage detection scheme for both coherent and non-coherent combining schemes, but the two-stage detection scheme can greatly reduce the computational complexity compared to the joint detection scheme. In addition, the non-coherent combining detection scheme shows better performance under the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), fixed, and mobile environments.

Hochwald et al. introduced unitary space-time codes for quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels which allows for noncoherent decoding when the channel response is not known at the receiver. However, when reliable information on the channel response is available, coherent decoding is preferable for improved performance. Here, we study the relationship between the performance criteria on the diversity and coding advantages provided by unitary space-time codes with noncoherent and coherent decoding. We show that when a unitary space-time code achieves full spatial diversity with noncoherent decoding, full spatial diversity is also guaranteed with coherent decoding.

ISO/IEC/WD 24753 defines new modem specifications for a long-range RFID communications and application protocol for a sensor tag system. According to the standard, the frequency offset of the tag is 4%. In general wireless communications systems, it is known that a coherent receiver is superior to a non-coherent receiver. However, if the frequency offset is large, it is difficult to restore the original data accurately with a coherent receiver, and the performance of a coherent receiver is easily degraded. In this paper, a non-coherent receiver structure is adopted to solve the frequency offset problem of long-range RFID communications. We designed a frequency estimation block to find an optimal frequency from the received signal with 4% frequency offset and proposed a start frame delimiter (SFD) detection algorithm to determine the start position of the payload. The frequency estimation block finds the optimal frequency from the received signal using 9-correlators. And the SFD detection block searches the received signal to find the start position of the payload with dual correlator. We implemented a long-range RFID reader with the proposed methods and evaluated its performance in a wired/wireless test network. The implemented long-range RFID reader showed more superior performance than the commercial RFID reader in terms of recognition range.

This paper presents new coherent and non-coherent detection methods for the IEEE 802.15.4a low-rate ultra-wideband physical layer with forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques. The coherent detection method involving channel estimation is based on the correlation characteristics of the preamble signal. A coherent receiver uses novel iterated selective-rake (IT-SRAKE) to detect 2-bit data in a non-line-of-sight channel. The non-coherent detection method that does not involve channel estimation employs a 2-bit data detection scheme using modified transmitted reference pulse cluster (M-TRPC) methods. To compare the two schemes, we have designed an IT-SRAKE receiver and a MTRPC receiver using an IEEE 802.15.4a physical layer. Simulation results show the performance of IT-SRAKE is better than that of the M-TRPC by 3-9 dB.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. If the nilpotent radical N il(R) of R is a divided prime ideal, then R is called a ϕ-ring. Let R be a ϕ-ring and S be a multiplicative subset of R. In this paper, we introduce and study the class of nonnil-S-coherent rings, i.e., the rings in which all finitely generated nonnil ideals are S-finitely presented. Also, we define the concept of ϕ-S-coherent rings. Among other results, we investigate the S-version of Chase's result and Chase Theorem characterization of nonnil-coherent rings. We next study the possible transfer of the nonnil-S-coherent ring property in the amalgamated algebra along an ideal and the trivial ring extension.

In this paper, we present a method to evaluate the BER performance of a coherent QPSK system using an adaptive array to eliminate CCI and demonstrate closed-form expressions for obtaining exact BER of the desired user for the case in which the time delays of all users are equal. The theoretical results are verified by computer simulation under the assumption that Least Mean Square beamforming algorithm is employed.

Error performance of two modulation schemes of millimeter-wave over fiber (MMoF) system i.e., optical double side band (ODSB) and optical single side band (OSSB) modulations is analyzed under Rician fading. Bit error rates (BER) of two detection techniques i.e., coherent and noncoherent detection are also compared in Rician fading. In aspect of error performance, ODSB modulation scheme has better BER than OSSB modulation scheme has under Rician fading. On the other hand, OSSB modulation scheme is advantageous in case of considering high bandwidth efficiency and small power degradation. Coherent detection technique is proper in Rician fading, because coherent detection provides more SNR gain whether fading is serious or not. Noncoherent detection can be applied when we need a simple receiver structure.
