Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques have been adopted to overcome packet losses and to improve the quality of video delivery. The efficiency of the FEC has been significantly compromised, however, due to the characteristics of the wireless channel such as burst packet loss, channel fluctuation and lack of Quality of Service (QoS) support. We propose herein an Adaptive Cross-layer FEC mechanism (ACFEC) to enhance the quality of video streaming over 802.11 WLANs. Under the conventional approaches, FEC functions are implemented on the application layer, and required feedback information to calculate redundancy rates. Our proposed ACFEC mechanism, however, leverages the functionalities of different network layers. The Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) function on the Media Access Control (MAC) layer can detect packet losses. Through cooperation with the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), the redundancy rates are adaptively controlled based on the packet loss information. The experiment results demonstrate that the ACFEC mechanism is able to adaptively adjust and control the redundancy rates and, thereby, to overcome both of temporary and persistent channel fluctuations. Consequently, the proposed mechanism, under various network conditions, performs better in recovery than the conventional methods, while generating a much less volume of redundant traffic.

디지털 통신에서는 전송 채널의 왜곡을 보상해 주는 적응 등화기가 필수적이다. 이러한 적응 등화기는 요구되는 비트 오율 (BER: Bit Error Rate)을 얻기 위해서 이동통신 시스템의 특성에 적합하고 최적의 성능을 가지는 적응 알고리즘이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 무선 이동 채널에서 성능이 우수한 잡음 예측 결정 궤환 등화기 (NPDFE: Noise-Predictive Decision Feedback Equalizer)를 제안한다. 제안된 NPDFE는 직교 위상 변조 (QPSK; Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) 방식을 사용하는 시스템에 대해 가산성 백색 가우스 잡음 (AWGN: Additive White Gaussian Noise)이 발생한다는 기본 가정하에 라이시안 페이딩, 유럽 표준 (ETSI: European Telecommunications Standards Institute) 페이딩, 그리고 레일리 페이딩 채널에서의 성능을 분석한다. 시뮬레이션에서 사용되는 등화기 구조는 선형 등화기(LE: Linear Equalizer), 결정 궤환 등화기 (DFE: Decision Feedback Equalizer), 그리고 제안된 NPDFE이다. 각 등화 알고리즘을 사용하는 QPSK 변조 방식의 성능 비교는 BER을 통하여 이루어진다.

In this thesis, to cope with severe intersymbol interference and nonlinear distotions of the digital magnetic recording channel a neural decision feedback equalizer (NDFE) and an adaptive neural equalizer (NE) are applied. The digital magnetic recording channels with various recording densities and different types of the nonlinear distortions are considered. The computer simulation shows that as the nonlinear distortion is increased, the neural equalizers (NdFE, NE) have advantages of approximately 2-4 dB in signal to noise ratio (SNR) over the onventional eualizers to reach sme bit error rate and, a sthe recording density is increased, 1~5 dB of SNR improvement are also gained. Especially the NdFE gives a superior performance over the other equalizers when there is a severe nonlinear distortion in the digital magnetic channel.

The adaptive coded modulation (ACM) is a promissing way to provide a substantial improvement in spectral efficiency for slow fading channels. The basic idea is to adapt system functional-ity such as modulation, coding, information rate, and transmission power to varying channel conditions. In this work, the potential of adaptive coded modulation is investigated using cut-off rate anal-ysis in a unified way and using computer simulation. The anal-ysis includes various effects of fading channels such as feedback delay and channel prediction error. It was shown that the adaptive coded modulation can provide several folds of increase in spectral efficiency compared to a fixed coded-modulation system employing QPSK when channel varies slowly.

This paper proposes an adaptive combined scalable video coding (CSVC) system for video transmission over MIMO-OFDM (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) broadband wireless communication systems. The scalable combination method of CSVC adaptively combines the medium grain scalable (MGS), the coarse grain scalable (CGS) and the scalable spatial modes with the limited feedback partially from channel state information (CSI) of MIMO-OFDM systems. The objective is to improve the average of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and bit error rate (BER) of the received video stream by exploiting partial CSI of video sources and channel condition. Experimental results show that the delivered quality using the proposed adaptive CSVC over MIMO-OFDM system performs better than those proposed previously in the literature.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field because of several factors such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of vertical sensor array than that of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation output, and received image quality.

In this paper, various of pilot-assisted channel estimation techniques for 3GPP LTE downlink are tested under multipath Rayleigh fading channel. At first, the conventional channel estimation techniques are applied with linear zero-forcing (ZF) equalizer, such as one dimensional least square (1-D LS) linear interpolation, two dimensional (2-D) wiener filter, the time and frequency dimension separate wiener filter and maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Considering the practical implementation, we proposed two channel estimation techniques by combining time-dimension wiener filter and MLE in two manners, which showed a good tradeoff between system performance and complexity when comparing with conventional techniques. The nonlinear decision feedback equalizer (DFE) which can show a better performance than linear ZF equalizer is also implemented for mitigating inter-carrier interference (ICI) in our system. The complexity of these algorithms are calculated in terms of the number of complex multiplications (CMs) and the performances are evaluated by showing the bit error rate (BER).

본 논문에서는 패킷 오류가 발생하는 IP 망을 통해 비디오 전송 서비스를 제공하기 위한 효율적인 망 적응적 ARQ 기반의 오류 제어 기법을 제안한다. 재전송에 요구되는 지연시간이 허용되고 재전송을 위한 피드백 채널의 사용이 가능한 경우, IP 망에서 패킷 손실이 발생하면 수신 단말은 서버에게 손실된 패킷의 재전송을 요청할 수 있다. 그러나 망 상황과 동시에 전송되는 피드백 메시지의 수를 고려하지 않고 무조건적인 재전송을 요청할 경우 손실된 패킷이 복호화에 필요한 시점까지 도착할 것인지가 보장되지 않는다. 제안된 ARQ 기법은 추정된 망 상태를 기반으로 조건적으로 재전송 요청 여부를 결정하고, 유효한 재전송 요청 시점을 결정하여 보다 효율적인 ARQ가 적용될 수 있도록 한다. 제안된 망 적응적 ARQ 기반의 오류 제어 기법의 성능을 검증하기 위하여, 패킷 손실 네트워크 환경을 NIST-Net을 기반으로 구현하며 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 기법의 우수한 오류 강인 성능을 검증한다.

This paper presents decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained algorithm using extended Kalman filter(EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter(SPKF). EKF is propagated, analytically through the first-order linearization of the nonlinear system. This can introduce large errors in the true posterior mean and covariance of the Gaussian random variable. The SPKF addresses this problem by using a deterministic sampling approach. The features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizer And we investigate the bit error rate(BER) between EKF and SPKF.
