The MB-OFDM based UWB communication system is a personal area network specification aiming to provide 480Mbps peak data rate over 528 MHz spectrum. As the corresponding baseband modem operates at high clock rate, its complexity should be optimized for low power consumption. A set of modem design parameters is suggested including the AD bit width, the clipping level and the quantization level at the Viterbi decoder input as well as the trace-back depth of the Viterbi decoder. The data throughput is used to evaluate the performance of the receiver and a recommended set of design parameter values is presented to aid efficient modem implementation.

Multicarrier systems has major shortcomings due to the large numbers of subcarrier. One of the shortcomings is the high peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR), which causes nonlinearity distortion in the transmitter, and degrades the performance of the system significantly. Partial transmit sequence(PTS) is one of the best approaches that can significantly improve the statistics of the PAPR of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signal. Guided scrambling(GS) is an extension of self-synchronizing scrambling. It is also capable of guiding the scrambling process to produce a balanced encoded bit stream. In this paper, we propose a sub-optimal algorithm to optimize the phase factor in PTS. In addition, we integrate GS coding with this method. The proposed Hybrid algorithm can get much more PAPR reduction at the expense of incur a few error extension and do not require transmission of side information.

차세대 이동통신 시스템을 위해 활발히 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 OFDM과 DS-CDMA의 장점을 결합하여 심벌간 간섭과 페이딩에 강하고 IFFT/FFT를 이용하여 효과적으로 변조/복조부를 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 하지만, 송신 신호가 다중 레벨 진폭 특성을 갖기 때문에 손신기에서 사용되는 고출력 증폭기의 포화 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM에서 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위해 우리가 제안한 고정점 반복 기반의 사전왜곡기를 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적용하고, 이의 우수한 성능을 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에서 64-FFT/IFFT을 이용하여 변조 및 복조를 수행하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대한 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

The performance of space-frequency trellis coded (SFTC) OFDM system is analyzed in frequency selective fading channel. Using a pairwise error probability upper bound expression, we design the code and interleaver that can maximize the diversity and coding gain. To alleviate the performance degradation due to the inter-antenna product terms, we propose a new SFTC scheme that employs non-overlapped interleaving for each antenna A new code is optimized for the non-overlapped interleaving and a practical sub-optimal decoding algorithm is proposed. It is shown that the proposed scheme can substantially improve the performance compared to the conventional scheme that employs identical interleaving for all antennas.

The accuracy of channel estimation significantly affects the performance of coherent OFDM receiver. It is desirable to employ a good channel estimator while requiring low implementation complexity. In this paper, we propose a channel estimator that employs a simple two-dimensional (2-D) moving average (MA) filter as the channel estimation filter. The optimum tap size of the 2-D MA FIR filter is analytically designed in the time and frequency domain in association with the channel condition and pilot signal to interference power ratio. The analytic results can be applied to the design of adaptive channel estimator. Finally, the performance of the proposed channel estimator is verified by computer simulation.

One drawback of polar codes is that they are not universal, that is, to achieve optimal performance, different polar codes are required for different kinds of channel. This paper proposes a polar code construction scheme for Nakagami-m fading channel. The scheme fully considers the characteristics of Nakagami-m fading channel, and uses the optimized Bhattacharyya parameter bounds. The constructed code is applied to an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system over Nakagami-m fading channel to prove the performance of polar code. Simulation result shows the proposed codes can get excellent bit error rate (BER) performance with successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding. For example, the designed polar code with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) aided SCL (L = 8) decoding achieves 1.1dB of gain over LDPC at average BER about 10^-5 under 4-quadrature amplitude modulation (4QAM) while the code length is 1024, rate is 0.5.

This letter addresses the superimposed pilot aided multiuser channel estimation for the uplinks of multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. To mitigate the embedded-data effects on the performance of channel estimation, a novel combining algorithm is proposed. Optimal pilot symbols are developed with respect to the least square channel estimate's mean square error. The averaged sum-capacity lower bound is derived and simulated. Simulation results show that on a low signal-to-noise ratio regime, our proposed scheme achieves better performance and higher capacity than the conventional pilot aided approach.

This paper considers the use of the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) technique to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing signal in wireless communication systems. Search complexity is very high in the traditional PTS scheme because it involves an extensive random search over all combinations of allowed phase vectors, and it increases exponentially with the number of phase vectors. In this paper, a suboptimal metaheuristic algorithm for phase optimization based on an improved harmony search (IHS) is applied to explore the optimal combination of phase vectors that provides improved performance compared with existing evolutionary algorithms such as the harmony search algorithm and firefly algorithm. IHS enhances the accuracy and convergence rate of the conventional algorithms with very few parameters to adjust. Simulation results show that an improved harmony search-based PTS algorithm can achieve a significant reduction in PAPR using a simple network structure compared with conventional algorithms.

A problem of signal transmitted and received in OFDM systems is considered. In particular, an efficient solution to the problem of blind channel estimation based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) principle has been investigated. The paper proposes a new upper-bound cost, used in conjunction with a standard branch and bound integer programming technique for solving the ML problem. The tighter upper-bound cost exploits a finite-alphabet property of the transmitted signal. The proposed upper-bound cost was found to greatly speed up the ML algorithm, thus reducing computational complexity. Experimental results and discussion are included.

An RF front-end dual-conversion receiver for $3{\sim}5\;GHz$ MB-OFDM UWB systems is implemented in $0.18\;{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The receiver includes a two-stage UWB LNA, an RF mixer, an IF I/Q mixer, and a frequency synthesizer. The proposed receiver adopts the dual-conversion architecture to mitigate the burden of design of the frequency synthesizer. Accordingly, the proposed frequency synthesizer generates four LO tones from only one VCO. The receiver front-end achieves power gain of 16.3 to 21 dB, NF of 7 to 7.6 dB over $3{\sim}5\;GHz$, and IIP3 of -21 dBm, while consuming 190 mW from a 1.8 V supply.
