In this paper, we model a traffic of multiple tags operated in 2.45GHz band RTLS environment and analyze the multi-tag interference. Also, we propose a high precision location estimation algorithm of RTLS and then analyze its performance. From the results, the BER performance of RTLS degrades as the number of multi-tags increase in Gaussian noise and fading(m=15) environment. To meet the BER specification of RTLS, $10^{-5}$, we have to limit the multi-tag number to below 40. We also estimate the tag's location in $250m{\times}250m$ searching-area with enhanced TDOA scheme. It is confirmed that the 3m radius within accuracy of RTLS specification is satisfied, if the number of sub-blink receives more than 2 when available reader is 3 to 8.

This paper investigates the link margin of MB-OFDM UWB system quantitatively. Various simulations are performed considering the implementation loss by imperfect synchronization unit and the effect of multi-path fading channels. MB-OFDM UWB system uses ZP(Zero Padding) instead of CP(Cyclic Prefix) and supports two transmission modes; one is TFI(Time Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using different carrier frequency from symbol to symbol according to Time Frequency(TF) codes, the other is FFI(Fixed Frequency Interleaving) mode that transmits OFDM symbols using a specific carrier frequency. The advantage of if and TFI is to be able to increase the transmitting power effectively compared to the existed OFDM systems that transmit the signal continuously at the same average transmitting power. From the analysis results of Ink margin, to guarantee the service range of 4m in 200Mbps mode, TFI mode must necessarily be implemented and the service range of 480Mbps mode is estimated about 1-2m in the line-of-sight multi-path channel (CMI).

Transmission methods for terrestrial UHDTV broadcasting have been actively studied in order to provide enhanced broadcasting service in many countries. Most of the countries are considering multi-carrier transmission methods based on OFDM and some of them have performed UHDTV experimental broadcasting by using the DVB-T2 standard with the adoption of an improved data compression technique. However, since single carrier transmission methods, which are known to be susceptible to multi-path fading, could remedy this defect by using the SC-FDE method where a frequency domain equalizer is utilized in the receiver, they may achieve a similar transmission performance with multi-carrier transmission methods. In consideration of these circumstances, we compare the transmission performances of two-type methods to provide a decision criterion on a suitable transmission method for UHDTV broadcasting.

Multi antenna techniques using space-time codes can achieve diversity gains in a multi-path environment without additional bandwidth requirement. Most of the 4G candidate standards including the IEEE 802.16e adopt multi-input multi-output (MIMO) schemes to achieve either high throughput performance or diversity gains. In these 4G candidate standards, turbo codes using an iterative decoder with soft input soft output are used to overcome serious channel fading. For this reason, the estimated signal values from MIMO detectors should be soft decision detection values. In this paper, we propose efficient methods to estimate soft decision detection values for various space time coding schemes, and provide the simulation results of turbo coded space time coding scheme over an IEEE 802.16e link.

Multi-Platform Image and Intelligence Common data link(MPI-CDL) systems are designed to transmit the imaginary and signal intelligence data at an aeronautical to ground line of sight(LOS) link. This paper proposes a method to predict a link availability and analyzes the required link margin to satisfy a given link availability for MPI-CDL systems. To estimate a link availability the proposed method applies the conditional probability so that both a rain attenuation and a multipath fading are considered simultaneously. Link margins to meet the link availability for MPI-CDL systems are calculated according to an operating environment including frequencies, flight altitudes and transmission ranges. The required link margins for actual unmanned air vehicle systems are also given by simulation results.

Decode-and-forward cooperative communications protocol (DFP) allows single-antenna users in wireless medium to obtain the powerful benefits of multi-antenna systems without physical antenna arrays. For this protocol, so far the relays have used SNR to evaluate the reliability of the received signal before deciding whether to forward the decoded data so as to prevent their unsuccessful detection. However, SNR only characterizes the long-term statistic of Gaussian noise and thus leading to inaccurate assesment. Therefore, we propose using log-likelihood ratio (LLR) which accounts for the instantaneous noise in the received signal as an alternative to SNR. A variety of simulation results reveal the significant superiority of the SNR-based DFP to the SNR-based DFP regardless of threshold level and relay position under the flat Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

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, to improve the performance of PB/MC-CDMA system, we have researched about the decision feedback channel estimation method using the pilot symbol with data symbol. The PB/MC-CDMA system is able to obtain the improved BER by frequency diversity gain and frequency domain equalizer in the frequency selective fading channel. However, when it is not the estimating of channel exactly, it is degrading the performance of BER in the system for occurred the interference among users. To improve the performane system in the multi-user environment the proposed system is using the decision feedback to estimate channel using the channel estimated value of the first stage and second stage. The proposed system is evaluated by computer simulation. The proposed system is not only able to improve the performance of BER by decreasing the interference to each user, but also the proposed system is possible to reduce number of pilot symbol to estimate the channel. Therefore, it confirmed the proposed system improves the performance than the conventional system.

This Paper presents a modified hard decision Viterbi decoder with an error prediction circuit enhancing performance for the burst error inputs. Viterbi decoder employs the maximum likelihood decoding algorithm which shows excellent error correction capability for the random error inputs. Viterbi decoders, however, suffer poor error correction performance for the burst error inputs under the fading channel. The proposed error prediction algorithm increases error correction capability for the burst errors. The algorithm estimaties the burst error data area using the maximum path metric for the erroneous inputs, It calculates burst error intervals based on increases in the maximum values of a path metric. The proposed decoder keeps a performance the same as the conventional decoders on AWGN channels for the IEEE802.l1a WLAN system. It shows performance inproving 15% on the burst error of multi-path fading channels, widely used in mobile systems.

This paper presents an analytical evaluation of a hybrid direct-sequence/slow frequencyhopped code division multiple-access (DS/SFH-CDMA) system employing noncoherent M-ary frequency shift keying(MFSK) modulation in a multiple Nakagami fading (m) environment. Multipath interference (MPI) and multi-access interference (MAI) is taken into account and the spectral efficiency is calculated for uncoded as well as channel coding systems. Predetection multipath maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity in conjunction with interleaved channel coding (Hamming(7,4) code, BCH(15, 7) code and RS (7, 4), (15, 9)) code ) is employed for improving the bit error rate (BER) performance. The BER of noncoherent hybrid system is obtained using a Gaussian interference approximation.
