This paper presents a semi-blind Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) beamforming adaptive algorithm used far OFDM/CDMA combined system. The proposed algorithm exploits the transmitting pilot signal in the initial period of the transmission to update the weight vector. Then it applies the blind adaptive period to update the weight vector, in which the pilot signal is no longer used. The derivation of the algorithm based on the Mean Square Error (MSE) criterion is also presented. Computer simulation is carried out to verify the performance of the proposed approach.

In this paper, adaptive minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) multiuser detector combined with decision-feedback detector (DFD) is considered fur near-far resistant DS-CDMA system. To provide a reliable input to the adaptive MMSE detector, multiple-access interference (MAI) is regenerated using bit estimates from DFD and subtracted from the received signal. In the adaptive MMSE detector, the effect of the imperfect cancellation is compensated by a least mean square (LMS) algorithm. Through the numerical results, it is shown that, in a near-far situation, the proposed scheme provides superior performance to the matched filter (MF) receiver, adaptive MMSE detector, and DFD in terms of the bit error rate (BER).

This paper analyzes the performance of various single channel speech enhancement algorithms when they are applied to automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems as a preprocessor. The functional modules of speech enhancement systems are first divided into four major modules such as a gain estimator, a noise power spectrum estimator, a priori signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimator, and a speech absence probability (SAP) estimator. We investigate the relationship between speech recognition accuracy and the roles of each module. Simulation results show that the Wiener filter outperforms other gain functions such as minimum mean square error-short time spectral amplitude (MMSE-STSA) and minimum mean square error-log spectral amplitude (MMSE-LSA) estimators when a perfect noise estimator is applied. When the performance of the noise estimator degrades, however, MMSE methods including the decision directed module to estimate a priori SNR and the SAP estimation module helps to improve the performance of the enhancement algorithm for speech recognition systems.

본 논문은 스마트 빌딩을 위한 가시광 통신 시스템 (VLC, Visible Light Communication)에서 통신의 안정성 및 데이터의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 다중 채널 간섭 제거 알고리즘에 대해 연구하였다. 가시광 통신 시스템은 LED (Light Emitting Diode)를 통해 방사되는 가시광을 이용한 차세대 통신 시스템으로 스마트 빌딩을 위한 유비쿼터스 네트워크 서비스 환경에서 에너지 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있다. 또한 기존 인프라를 활용하여 고출력 전송이 가능하며 유지 보수비용을 절감할 수 있다. 실내에서 다수의 사용자가 통신을 할 경우, 채널 간섭으로 인해 성능의 열화가 발생하게 된다. 간섭 제거를 위해 먼저 MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) 기법을 통해 간섭을 제거한 후, 순차 연속 간섭 제거(SIC, Successive Interference Cancellation) 알고리즘을 이용하여 추가적으로 주변의 영향력이 큰 간섭원을 제거하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 채널 모델로서 실내 가시광 통신 모델을 적용 하였고, 비트 오류율 (BER, Bit Error Rate)을 평가하여 성능을 검증하였다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 시스템의 성능을 검증하였고 기존의 시스템보다 향상된 결과가 나타냈다. 제안한 시스템 모델은 가시광 통신뿐만 아니라 일반적인 통신 시스템에서도 신호의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있도록 다양하게 적용이 가능하다.

영상이 복합잡음으로 오염된 경우, 기존의 MMSE 필터는 임펄스 잡음의 부근에서 최소평균오차의 추정 편이가 발생하여, 이러한 잡음을 적절히 제거하지 못하게 된다. 본 논문에서는, 이러한 잡음제거를 위하여 MMSE 필터의 구조에 방향성에 따른 다중 윈도윙과 차순 필터링 기법을 결합시켜 새로운 필터링 방법을 제안하였다. 결과적으로 정량적인 방법인 NMSE 측정으로 기존의 MMSE 필터보다 9.7-35.2배의 향상된 영상을 얻었고, 시각적인 면과 정량적인 관점에서도 향상된 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 주파수 선택적 시변 채널 OFDM 시스템에서 파일럿 심볼을 이용하는 채널 예측 및 등화 방식의 성능을 분석하고 문제점 및 개선 방안을 제시한다. 주파수 영역 채널 행렬의 대역폭을 제한하기 위하여 시간 영역 윈도우를 도입하며, 채널 예측에 LS(Least Square) 및 선형 MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) 예측 방식을 이용한다. 채널 등화에는 채널 예측에 이용되는 파일럿 심볼의 존재가 고려된 선형 MMSE 및 결정 귀환 등화 방식을 이용한다. 계산량을 감소시키기 위하여 채널 등화 알고리즘에 요구되는 선형 연립 방정식의 풀이에 band LU 행렬 분해 알고리즘을 도입하며, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존 방식과의 성능을 비교한다. 결정 귀환 등화 방식에 시간 영역 윈도우를 적용하는 경우, 결정 귀환 관련 행렬의 대역폭이 제한되지 않아 성능이 저하되는 문제점을 분석하였다.

The use of beamforming is effective for users in limited power environments. However, when it is applied to the downlink of a cellular system with universal frequency reuse, users near the sector boundary may experience significant interference from more than one sector. The use of a minimum mean square error (MMSE)-type receiver may not sufficiently cancel out the interference unless a sufficient number of receive antennas are used. In this paper, we consider the use of inter-sector beamforming that cooperates with a neighboring sector in the same cell to mitigate this interference problem in time-division duplex (TDD) environments. The proposed scheme can avoid interference from an adjacent sector in the same cell, while enhancing the transmit array gain by using the TDD reciprocity. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise power ratio (SINR) and the output capacity when applied to an MMSE-type receiver. The beamforming mode can be analytically switched between the inter-sector and the single-sector mode based on the long-term channel information. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose an equivalent Wiener-Hopf equation. The proposed algorithm can obtain the weight vector of a TDL(tapped-delay-line) filter and the error simultaneously if the inputs are orthogonal to each other. The equivalent Wiener-Hopf equation was analyzed theoretically based on the MMSE(minimum mean square error) method. The results present that the proposed algorithm is equivalent to original Wiener-Hopf equation. The new algorithm was applied into the identification of an unknown system for evaluating the performance of the proposed method. We compared the Wiener-Hopf solution with the equivalent Wiener-Hopf solution. The simulation results were similar to those obtained in the theoretical analysis. In conclusion, our method can find the coefficient of the TDL (tapped-delay-line) filter where a lattice filter is used, and also when the process of Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is used. Furthermore, a new cost function is suggested which may facilitate research in the adaptive signal processing area.

This paper proposes a Modified Minimum Mean Square Error (M-MMSE) estimator for an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) System over fast fading Rayleigh channel. The proposed M-MMSE estimator considered the effects of the efficient placement of pilots based on the channel energy distribution. The pilot symbols were placed in a non-linear manner according to the density of the channel energy. Comparative analysis of the MMSE estimator for a comb-type pilot arrangement and M-MMSE estimator for the proposed pilot insertion scheme revealed significant performance improvement of the M-MMSE estimator over the MMSE estimator.

For uplink multi-user massive MIMO systems, conventional minimum mean square error (MMSE) linear detection method achieves near-optimal performance when the number of antennas at base station is much larger than that of the single-antenna users. However, MMSE detection involves complicated matrix inversion, thus making it cumbersome to be implemented cost-effectively and rapidly. In this paper, we first summarize in detail the state-of-the-art simplified MMSE detection algorithms that circumvent the complicated matrix inversion and hence reduce the computation complexity from ${\mathcal{O}}(K^3)$ to ${\mathcal{O}}(K^2)$ or ${\mathcal{O}}(NK)$ with some certain performance sacrifice. Meanwhile, we divide the simplified algorithms into two categories, namely the matrix inversion approximation and the classical iterative linear equation solving methods, and make comparisons between them in terms of detection performance and computation complexity. In order to further optimize the detection performance of the existing detection algorithms, we propose more proper solutions to set the initial values and relaxation parameters, and present a new way of reconstructing the exact effective noise variance to accelerate the convergence speed. Analysis and simulation results verify that with the help of proper initial values and parameters, the simplified matrix inversion based detection algorithms can achieve detection performance quite close to that of the ideal matrix inversion based MMSE algorithm with only a small number of series expansions or iterations.
