Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has limited power and bandwidth. In order to high data rate and high speed communication systems are required. Cooperative communication system can help to decrease power consumption through spatial diversity. In cooperative transmission, one partner node assists one sensor node to transmit their data to destination. Instead of using M partners for M sensor nodes, we propose 1 partner for M sensor nodes. And we proposed relay selection scheme base on ARQ. Proposed protocol offers higher diversity order as conventional one with much less bandwidth and power. The destination will consider the one packets received from the best relay to reduce the complexity of the system. We verified BER performance for the proposed protocol through Monte-Carlo simulation over Rayleigh fading plus AWGN.

Conventional wireless sensor network(WSN) has limited power and bandwidth. In order to develop multimedia sensor technology, high data rate communication systems are required. Cooperative communication system can help to decrease power consumption through spatial diversity. In cooperative transmission, one partner node assists one sensor node to transmit their data to destination. Instead of using M partners for M sensor nodes, we propose 1 partner for M sensor nodes. Proposed protocol offers similar diversity order as conventional one with much less bandwidth and hardware. It is able to almost reduce scattered nodes interference using orthogonal sub-carriers. In addition, we examined a power allocation between sensor nodes and relay that optimize the system performance.

A Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is made for vehicle to vehicle wireless communications. The physical layer standard of the WAVE system is very similar to that of the IEEE802.11a wireless local area network (WLAN). Therefore, the performance of the WAVE system is degraded by continual channel variation in the WAVE multipath fading channels after starting initial channel estimation. In this paper, we research the performance improvement of equalization in 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) transmission in WAVE environment. The proposed algorithms use the training sequence and the midamble sequence which is used for fast channel variation such as WAVE environments. Additionally, various interpolation methods are also used for the channel tracking.

The signal space diversity is one of the promising transmission techniques in next generation mobile TV service. However, DVB-T2 does not consider the multiple antennas (MIMO) so that the cyclic Q-delay method, a component interleaver in DVB-T2, causes a critical issue in detecting symbols at the receiver side by increasing the inter-symbol dependency. To solve this problem, the component-swapping technique is proposed, which limits the inter-symbol dependency in order to reduce detection complexity. In this paper, the achievable gain of a component-swapping technique combined with 16K LDPC code defined in DVB-T2 is evaluated by computer simulations. From the results, the gain is confirmed in terms of BER and receive complexity compared to legacy component interleaver methods.

A Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment (WAVE) system based on Orthogonal frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is made for vehicle to vehicle wireless communications. The physical layer standard of the WAVE system is very similar to that of the IEEE802.1la wireless local area network (WLAN). Therefore, the performance of the WAVE system is degraded by continual timing delay in the WAVE multipath fading channels after starting initial timing synchronization. In this paper, the tracking algorithm that synchronizes symbol timing is proposed to continually compensate additional timing delay. Computer simulation of the proposed algorithm is performed in the worst communication environments that apply to maximum timing delay. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the system performance in various channel conditions.

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.

A high data rate Medical Implant Communications Service (MICS) transmitter for implantable medical devices (IMD) is proposed. An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based multicarrier scheme is used to overcome the data rate limitation caused by the narrow bandwidth of 300 kHz. The proposed transmitter utilizes multiple MICS channels simultaneously, supporting increased data rate. To satisfy the MICS regulation, various schemes are applied including optimized subcarrier allocation and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) architecture, and additional sidelobe suppression technique. Simulation results show that the proposed transmitter can support a maximum data rate of 4.86 Mbps, which is more than ten times faster than the previous systems.

In communication systems the solution of the problem of maximizing the mutual information between the input and output of a channel composed of several subchannels under total power constraint has a waterfilling structure. OFDM and MIMO can be decomposed into parallel subchannels with CSI. Waterfilling solves the problem of optimal power allocation to these subchannels to achieve the rate approaching the channel capacity under total power constraint. In waterfilling, more power is alloted to good channels(high SNR) and less or no power to bad channels to increase the rate of good channels, resulting in channel capacity. Waterfilling finds the exact water level satisfying the power constraint employing an iterative algorithm to estimate and update the water level. In this process computation of partial sums of inverse of square of subchannel gain is repeatedly required. In this paper we reduced the computation time of waterfilling algorithm by replacing the partial sum computation with reference to an array which contains the precomputed partial sums in initialization phase.

Powerline communications (PLC) technology has been discussed and analyzed as a highly potential candidate of wireline access network solutions. In this paper, performance of double binary turbo coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is analyzed and simulated in power line communications channel. In order to make power line channel environments, Bernoulli-Gaussian noise is considered. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the double binary turbo coding scheme offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding complexity. It is also shown that the system performance can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations.

In this paper, an efficient butterfly structure for 8K/2K-Point Radix-4 FFT algorithm using CORDIC(coordinate rotation digital computer) is proposed. It is shown that CORDIC can be efficiently used in twiddle factor calculation of the Radix-4 FFT algorithm. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed CORDIC butterfly structure show 36.9% cell area reduction comparison with those of the conventional multiplier butterfly structure. Furthermore, the 8K/2K-point Radix-4 pipeline structure using the proposed butterfly and delay commutators is compared with other conventional structures. Implementation coding results show 11.6% cell area reduction. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed FFT structure can be widely used in large size of FFT like OFDM Modem.
