In this paper, we analyze the performance of W-CDMA systems using turbo code in the wideband multipath channel. The strength of each multipath component is assumed to be Rayleigh distributed. Turbo codes of long block sizes have been known to show very good performance in a AWGN channel. Recently, turbo codes of short block sizes suitable for real time communication systems have attracted a lot of attention. Thus, in this paper we consider the turbo code of 1/3 code rate and short frame size of 192 bits in wideband mobile multipath channel. We analyze the performance of W-CDMA systems with 10MHz bandwidths in the case of employing RAKE receiver with not only MRC diversity but also turbo code.

This paper presents the CDMA system using the RAKE receiver over a multipath fading channel and in multi-user environments. The interference between the propagation paths in a multipath fading causes a serious degradation in the mobile communication environment. In order to derive the path inteference and reduce the fading effect, the RAKE receiver is used. In a computer simulation, the path number of a fading channel and the branch number of the RAKE receiver are modified. As a result, the CDMA system using the RAKE receiver gives a better performance than the conventional CDMA system over a multipath fading channel and in multi-user environments.

The performance of tau-dither loop (TDL) is evaluated for a direct-sequence spread-spectrum system in a multipath fading channel. The multipath fading channel is modeled as a two-ray rayleight fading channel. The code tracking perfomrance of TDL is analyzed in terms of tracking jitter and mean-tiem-to-lose-lick (MTLL). The tracking jitter performance is degraded while MTLL perfomrance is improved with increasing discriminator offset and decreasing power ratio of main to second paths. It is shown that for a large bit SNR, the effect of multipath fading becomes more significant. And it is also shown that tracking jitter and MTLL performance is less sensitive to delay spacing and discriminator offset for a small bit SNR than for a large bit SNR.

Due to the complexity of underwater acoustic channel, signal estimation in underwater acoustic communication field is considerably affected from time-varying multipath fading channels. On this reason, the original signals should have many long training signals to estimate the channel and the purposed signals, and the bit rate of signals having information may have small rate. In order to avoid this loss of efficiency in underwater communication, this paper employed a blind channel identification method which don't use training signals. Simulations have predicted performance of the employed method in multipath environment and an aquatic plant experiment has verified the simulation results.

We proposed a power line channel model. We adopted advantages of other power line channel models to calculate channel responses correctly and simply. Infinite geometric series reduced the calculation complexity of the multipath signal propagation. Description Matrices were also adopted to handle the network topology easily. It represents complex power line network precisely and simply. Newly proposed model considered the effect of the adjacent nodes to channel responses, which have been not considered so far. Several simulations were executed to verify the effect of the adjacent nodes. As a result we found out that it affected channel responses but its effect was limited within certain degree.

This paper deals with an analysis of multipath which affect a transmission performance in underwater acoustic channel. For the test of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV), underwater acoustic channel with multipath structure is introduced to mathmatical modelling for a basin environment. In this paper, SMR(Signal to Multipath Ratio) which is defined as a parameter of mulipath's effect is presented as a mathmatical equation, and the equation or SMR is simulated by MATLAB program.

We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

In this paper, performance of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) which is OFDM with a forward error correction code, is studied in frequency selective fading underwater acoustic communication channel. The OFDM is a multiplexing technique resistant to frequency selective multipath channel. In OFDM, a broadband information signal is transformed into several narrow band signals and transmits narrow band signals whose bandwidths are less than the channel coherence bandwidth. However, its performance is degraded in a specific narrow band signal due to its deep fading by multipath. To mitigate this degradation, COFDM which is OFDM with convolution code as a forward error correction code, is evaluated. The performance of COFDM is found to be better than that of OFDM in multipath channel.

In this paper, the error rate performance of DS/SSMA system in multipath fading channel is calculated by computer simulation. At first, the multipath fading channel is modeled with TDL(Tap Delay Line) model. The characteristics of channels, including multipath fading effects and error pattern, are examined by doppler frequency and signal bandwidth, and time spread variation. Using the multipath fading channel model, the error rateperformance of block code and convolutional code is compared, thus the coding sys- tem is applied to the DS / SSMA system. The BER results of DS / SSMA system show that the proposed receiver gives about 2~3[dB] improve- ment compared with the conventional receiver.

Based on superimposed training methods, a novel time-varying multipath channel estimation scheme is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. We first develop a linear least square channel estimator, and meanwhile find the optimal superimposed sequences with respect to the channel estimates' mean square error. Next, a low-rank approximated channel estimator is obtained by using the singular value decomposition. As demonstrated in simulations, the proposed scheme achieves not only better performance but also higher bandwidth efficiency than the conventional pilot-aided approach.
