By combining the space-time diversity technique and iterative turbo codes, space-time turbo codes(STTCS) are able to provide powerful error correction capability. However, the multi-path transmission and iterative decoding structure of STTCS make the decoder very complex. In this paper, we propose a low complexity decoder, which can be used to decode STTCS as well as general iterative codes such as turbo codes. The efficient implementation of the backward recursion and the log-likelihood ratio(LLR) update in the proposed algorithm improves the computational efficiency. In addition, if we approximate the calculation of the joint LLR by using the approximate ratio(AR) algorithm, the computational complexity can be reduced even further. A complexity analysis and computer simulations over the Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed algorithm necessitates less than 40% of the additions required by the conventional Max-Log-MAP algorithm, while providing the same overall performance.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing or OFDM is a form of multi-carrier modulation technique. High spectral efficiency, robustness to channel fading, immunity to impulse interference, uniform average spectral density, capability of handling very strong echoes and less on linear distortion are among the favorite properties of OFDM. Even though there are many advantages of OFDM, t has two main drawbacks: high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and frequency of offset. In this paper, the issue of PAPR in OFDM is discussed. A new algorithm is proposed to reduce PAPR by selecting the input sequences property using a lookup table.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive Beamforming Algorithm, called MC-LMS, for adaptive antenna applied to an MC-CDMA system. New method for updating the weight vector based on the MSE criterion is derived. Computer simulations show that MC-LMS algorithm is capable of rejecting co-channel interference that affects the MC-CDMA system. Thus, the BER performance of the MC-CDMA system is much higher than that of the MC-CDMA system without using adaptive antenna and that of the DS-CDMA system with adaptive antenna in multi-path Rayleigh fading channel.

본 연구에서는 AOA(Angle of Arrival)와 TOA(Time of Arrival) 그리고 TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival)의 추정값을 이용한 위치 추정 기법들이 설명되고 분석된다. 이들 기법들을 다중경로 페이딩 (mutipath fading)과 shadowing을 갖는 마이크로셀 환경에 적용한다면, 빠르고 예측할 수 없는 신호 레벨의 변화로 인하여 이동체의 위치를 정확히 추정하는 것은 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수신 신호 세기(RSS: Received Signal Strength) 이외에 이동체와 기지국간의 거리, 이동체의 이동방향, 이동체의 이전위치와 같은 부정확한 다수의 파라미터를 동시에 고려하는 퍼지 다기준 (multi-criteria) 의사 결정 방법을 이용하여 이동체의 위치를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 이동체의 방향과 속도의 영향을 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation)에서 연집에러 검출 및 최대 확률론적 복호 방식으로 구성된 연집에러 정정을 위한 적응 복호방식을 제시하고 있다. 복호기는 보통 비터비 복호기로서 동작하고, 미터비 복호기에 의해 정정될 수 없는 에러가 검출될 경우 연집 에러 정정 모드로 절환된다. 이동통신에서의 채널특성인 연집에러가 빈번히 발생하는 다경로 페이딩 채널에서 적응 복호방식을 이용한 TCM은 기존의 방식에 비해 비트오율면에서 향상된 성능을 나타내고 있다.

In this paper, a new blind signal processing scheme for equalization in fading and impulsive-noise channel environments is introduced based on probability density functionmatching method and a set of Dirac-delta functions. Gaussian kernel of the proposed blind algorithm has the effect of cutting out the outliers on the difference between the desired level values and impulse-infected outputs. And also the proposed algorithm has relatively less sensitivity to channel eigenvalue ratio and has reduced computational complexity compared to the recently introduced correntropy algorithm. According to these characteristics, simulation results show that the proposed blind algorithm produces superior performance in multi-path communication channels corrupted with impulsive noise.

Cooperative diversity is a novel technique to improve diversity gains, capacity gains, and energy saving. This technique involves multiple terminals sharing resources in order to build a virtual antenna array in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we propose a multi-user cooperative diversity protocol called Relay-assisted Multiple Access Channel(R-MAC) that allows multiple source terminals to transmit their signals simultaneously and the relay terminal forwards the aggregated signal received from the source terminals to the destination terminal. The proposed protocol converts the distributed antenna channels into an effective MIMO channel by exploiting a relay, increasing both diversity gain and system throughput. We investigate the performance of the proposed protocol in terms of outage probability and diversity-multiplexing tradeoff where we assume block fading channel environment. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms direct transmission in the high spectral efficiency regime where the conventional cooperative diversity protocols cannot outperform direct transmission.

This paper presents an overview of position-based routing algorithms. We analyze performances of routing algorithms such as Hybrid Opportunistic Forwarding (HOF), Opportunistic multi-hop routing (ExOR), Location based Geocasting and Forwarding (LGF), and Greedy Forwarding in nearest with forward Progress (GFP) routing algorithms to find the best one in terms of packet error rate and throughput efficiency over effects of fading and noise variance in wireless networks. The analyses in closed form expressions are confirmed by the simulation results, which fully agree to analysis results. Additionally, the simulation results indicate significant differences among algorithms when varying the average SNR or the number of relays.

In this paper, we present a hybrid multi-antenna technique that can minimize the outage probability by combining the diversity and beamforming techniques. The hybrid technique clusters the transmission antennas into multiple groups and exploit diversity among different groups and beamforming within each group. We analyze the performance of the resulting hybrid technique for an arbitrary correlation among the transmission antennas. Through the performance analysis, we derive a closed-form expression of the outage probability for the hybrid technique. This enables to optimize the antenna grouping for the given spatial correlation. We show through numerical results that the hybrid technique can balance the trade-offs between diversity and beamforming according to the spatial correlation and that the optimally designed hybrid technique yields a much lower outage probability than the diversity or beamforming technique does in partially correlated fading channels.

DS/CDMA 시스템은 이동통신 시스템에서 다중경로, 고의적인 반방해 전파 및 동일대역폭을 공유하기 위한 다중 사용자에 의해 발생되는 협대역 간섭과 부가적인 백색가우시안 잡음을 제거한다. 본 논문에서는 다계층 퍼셉트론을 기반으로 한 역전파 신경망을 이용한 정합필터 채널 모델이 DS/CDMA 이동 통신 시스템에서 직접 순차 확산 스펙트럼의 협대역 간섭을 고려하면서 신호 대 잡음비와 전송 전력비에 따른 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 결과는 역전파 신경망을 이용한 정합 필터의 비트 에러율이 직접 순차 확산 스펙트럼의 RAKE 수신기의 비트 에러 율보다 적음을 입증하였다.
