In this paper, we propose one-bit feedback-based distributed beamforming (DBF) techniques for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in interference channels where the information transfer and power transfer networks coexist in the same frequency spectrum band. In a power transfer network, multiple distributed energy transmission nodes transmit their energy signals to a single energy receiving node capable of harvesting wireless radio frequency energy. Here, by considering the Internet-of-Things sensor network, the energy harvesting/information decoding receivers (ERx/IRx) can report their status (which may include the received signal strength, interference, and channel state information) through one-bit feedback channels. To maximize the amount of energy transferred to the ERx and simultaneously minimize the interference to the IRx, we developed a DBF technique based on one-bit feedback from the ERx/IRx without sharing the information among distributed transmit nodes. Finally, the proposed DBF algorithm in the interference channel is verified through the simulations and also implemented in real time by using GNU radio and universal software radio peripheral.

본 논문에서는 DS/CDMA (Direct Sequence/Code Division Multipe Access) 시스템에서 임시 판정 함수로서 연판정 함수와 경판정 함수를 적용한 파이프라인화된 직렬 간섭 제어 구조(PSIC, Pipelined Successive Interference Cancellation)의 성능을 수식적으로 분석하고, 모의 실험을 통하여 검증한다. PSIC 구조는 다단 직렬 간섭 제거 구조(MSIC, Multistage Successive Interference Cancellation)가 가지는 복호지연(decoding delay)의 문제를 해결하기 위해 파이프라인 구조를 MSIC에 적용한 것이다. 제안된PSIC 구조는 하드웨어의 복잡도(hardwar complexity)를 희생하여 비트 오율(BER, Bit Error Rate)의 증가 없이 MSIC에서 발생하는 복호 지연을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 제안된 PSIC 구조에서 연판정 함수와 경판정 함수를 각 간섭 제거 단(Cancellation stage)에서의 임시 판정 함수로 사용하여 얻게 되는 PSIC 구조들의 성능을 비교한다. 분석 및 실험 결과에 의하면 제안되 PSIC 구조에서는 경판정 함수를 사용할때의 성능이 연판정 함수를 사용할때의 성능보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Relay-assisted D2D communication extends the communication range of the D2D pairs and helps users to form D2D pairs effectively. However, due to the introduction of the multi-hop relaying, the D2D communication has to occupy extra transmission time, which may decrease the efficiency of the communication system. In this paper, we propose a scheme to make node receive D2D signal and BS signal at overlapping time to improve the spectrum efficiency according to ZigZag decoding and successive-interference-cancellation (SIC). In this way, more data can be delivered during the same duration, thus the network throughput can be further improved. Numerical results verify the performance improvement of the proposed scheme when compared with a baseline scheme. Moreover, we expand the proposed scheme from one-hop relay scenario to multi-hop relay scenario.

To increase throughput efficiency and improve performance, FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) method and LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) codes are employed in DVB-S3 system. In this paper, we proposed efficient turbo equalization model to minimize inter symbol interference induced by FTN transmission. This paper introduces two conventional scheme employing SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) and BCJR equalizer. Then, we proposed new scheme to resolve problems in this two conventional scheme. To make performance improved in turbo equalization model, the outputs of LDPC and BCJR equalizer are iteratively exchange probabilistic information. In fed LDPC outputs as extrinsic informa tion of BCJR equalizer. we split LDPC output to separate bit probabilities. We compare performance of proposed scheme to that of conventional methods through using simulation in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. We confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional methods as increasing throughput parameters of FTN.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the sphere decoding algorithm at MIMO system. The BER performance of this algorithm is the same as that of ML receiver, but computational complexity of SD algorithm is much less than that of ML receiver. The independent signals from each transmit antennas are modulated by using the QPSK and 16QAM modulation in the richly scattered Rayleigh flat-fading channel. The received signals from each receivers is independently detected by the receiver using Fincke & Pohst SD algorithm, and the BER output of the algorithm is compared with those of ZF, MMSE, SIC, and ML receivers. We also investigate the Viterbo & Boutros SD algorithm which is the modified SD algorithm, and the BER performance and the floting point operations of the algorithms are comparatively studied.

The overall channel capacity of a multihop wireless path drops progressively over each hop due to the cascading effect of noise and interference. Hence, without optimal rate adaptation, the video quality is expected to degrade significantly at any client located at a far-edge of an ad-hoc network. To overcome this limitation, decoding and forwarding (DF), which fully decodes codewords at each intermediate node, can be employed to provide the best video quality. However, complexity and memory usage for DF are significantly high. Consequently, we propose syndrome-based partial decoding (SPD). In the SPD framework an intermediate node partially decodes a codeword and relays the packet along with its syndromes if the packet is corrupted. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme by simulations using actual 802.11b wireless traces. The trace-driven simulations show that the proposed SPD framework, which reduces the overall processing requirements of intermediate nodes, provides reasonably high goodput when compared to simple forwarding and less complexity and memory requirements when compared to DF.

In this paper, the W(ultra widebend) system is used for high speed transmission applying BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) and QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), and utilizing the convolution coding with code rate, 1/2 and constraint length, K=7 in order to reduce the bit error rate. And the performance of system is analyzed in the AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel environment by using the Viterbi decoding algorithm and adopting the time-hopping sequence as a multiple access method in order to avoid the multiuser interference.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are comprised of wireless mobile nodes characterized by a randomly changing topology, high mobility, availability of geographic position, and fewer power constraints. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising candidate for the physical layer of VANET because of the inherent characteristics of the spectral efficiency and robustness to channel impairments. The susceptibility of OFDM to Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) is a challenging issue. The high mobility of nodes in VANET causes higher Doppler shifts, which results in ICI in the OFDM system. In this paper, a frequency domain com-btype channel estimation was used to cancel out ICI. The channel frequency response at the pilot tones was estimated using a Least Square (LS) estimator. An efficient interpolation technique is required to estimate the channel at the data tones with low interpolation error. This paper proposes a robust interpolation technique to estimate the channel frequency response at the data subcarriers. The channel induced noise tended to degrade the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the system. Parallel concatenated Convolutional codes were used for error correction. At the decoding end, different decoding algorithms were considered for the component decoders of the iterative Turbo decoder. A performance and complexity comparison among the various decoding algorithms was also carried out.

Recently, a variety of reduced complexity soft-in soft-output detection algorithms have been introduced for iterative detection and decoding (IDD) systems. However, it is still challenging to implement soft-in soft-output detectors for MIMO systems due to heavy burden in computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a soft detection algorithm for MIMO systems which performs close to the full dimensional joint detection, yet offers significant complexity reduction over the existing detectors. The proposed algorithm, referred to as soft-input soft-output successive group (SSG) detector, detects a subset of symbols (called a symbol group) successively using a deliberately designed preprocessing to suppress the inter-group interference. In fact, the proposed preprocessor mitigates the effect of the interfering symbol groups successively using a priori information of the undetected groups and a posteriori information of the detected groups. Simulation results on realistic MIMO systems demonstrate that the proposed SSG detector achieves considerable complexity reduction over the conventional approaches with negligible performance loss.

WiBro system provides reliable broadband communication services for mobile and portable subcribers. It allows interference-free reception under the conditions of multipath propagation and transmission errors. Thus, powerful channel-error correction ability Is required. CC/CTC Decoder which Is mandatory for WiBro system needs lots of computations for real-time operation. So, it is desired to design a CC/CTC Decoder having highly optimized hardware scheme for low latency operation under high data rates. This paper proposes an efficient CC/CTC Decoder structure for high data rate WiBro system. Particularly, the proposed CTC Decoder architecture reduces decoding delay by applying pipelining and multiple decoding blocks. Simulation results show that reduction of about 80% of processing time is enabled with the proposed CC/CTC Decoder despite of increase in are.
