It is known that turbo codes have an error-floor bound according to the effective free distance at high SNR. But the performance for turbo codes in the water-fall area at low SHR has not been studied yet. In this paper, asymmetric turbo codes that consist of RSC(recursive systematic convolutional) codes with different constraint length are proposed and their performance is analysed for SOVA decoding algorithm.

Multiuser detection (MUD) and channel estimation techniques in space-division multiple-access aided orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems recently has received intensive interest in receiver design technologies. The maximum likelihood (ML) MUD that provides optimal performance has the cost of a dramatically increased computational complexity. The minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) MUD exhibits poor performance, although it achieves lower computational complexity. With almost the same complexity, an MMSE with successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme achieves a better bit error rate performance than a linear MMSE multiuser detector. In this paper, hybrid ML-MMSE with SIC adaptive multiuser detection based on the joint channel estimation method is suggested for signal detection. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves good performance close to the optimal ML performance at low SNR values and a low computational complexity at high SNR values.

This paper addresses estimating the frequency of a cisoid in the presence of white Gaussian noise, which has numerous applications in communications, radar, sonar, and instrumentation and measurement. Due to the nonlinear nature of the frequency estimation problem, there is threshold effect, that is, large error estimates or outliers will occur at sufficiently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Utilizing the ideas of averaging to increase SNR and weighted linear prediction, an optimal frequency estimator with smaller threshold SNR is developed. Computer simulations are included to compare its mean square error performance with that of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, improved weighted phase averager, generalized weighted linear predictor, and single weighted sample correlator as well as Cramer-Rao lower bound. In particular, with smaller computational requirement, the proposed estimator can achieve the same threshold and estimation performance of the ML method.

In this thesis, the trellis detection scheme is proposed to improve the error performance of the noncoherent detection in the TFM system. Trellis detection takes advantage of the trellis property of TFM-encoded signals. The trellis property is created by giving correlations among adjacent TFM-encoded signals at the transmitter. The performance of the trellis detection scheme is analyzed by means of the Bernoulli trials with the average symbol error probability, and is compared to that of the bit-by-bit detection scheme. As a result,when the SNR is below 20 dB in the Rayleigh fading and AWGN channel, the trellis detection is inferior to the bit-by-bit detections. But when SNR is above 20 dB, the trellis detection is superior to the bit-by-bit detection, and its performance enhancement is better as the SNR increases.

So far in a nonparametric regression model one of the interesting problems is estimating the error variance. In this paper we propose an estimator of the mean of the squared functions which is the numerator of SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). To estimate SNR, the mean of the squared function should be firstly estimated. Our focus is on estimating the amplitude, that is the mean of the squared functions, in a nonparametric regression using a simple linear regression model with the quadratic form of observations as the dependent variable and the function of a lag as the regressor. Our method can be extended to nonparametric regression models with multivariate functions on unequally spaced design points or clustered designed points.

One of the problems on the application of the speech recognition system in the real world is the degradation of the performance by acoustical distortions. The most important source of acoustical distortion is the additive noise. This paper describes a spectral compensation technique based on a spectral peak enhancement scheme followed by an efficient noise subtraction scheme for noise robust speech recognition. The proposed methods emphasize the formant structure and compensate the spectral tilt of the speech spectrum while maintaining broad-bandwidth spectral components. The recognition experiments was conducted using noisy speech corrupted by white Gaussian noise, car noise, babble noise or subway noise. The new technique reduced the average error rate slightly under high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) environment, and significantly reduced the average error rate by 1/2 under low SNR(10 dB) environment when compared with the case of without spectral compensations.

PCM-NRZ/FM Telemetry system is constructed on the basis of RF link with FM modulatedand NRZ-L binary coded PCM data are assumed to transmit through 5th-order Bessel filter. Upon demodulated by the limiter-discriminator at the receiver, the probability of bit error, which is important for performance estimation of digital system, is analyzed against SNR. The analysis based on the following parameters, that is bit rate 140kHz, frequency of pre-modulation filter f-100kHz, maximum frequency deviation of transmitter 2f=300kHz, was performed. As a result, when the telemetry system with the parameters above is designed, the probability of bit error is obtained as 10 along with fT=0.7 and h=2, T=2.

디지털 영상압축 방법인 ITU-T H.263++ 부호화기법 중에는 계층 모드(scalability mode)를 지원한다. 계층 모드는 한 개의 송신 영상에 대해서도 복호기와 전송로에 따라서 여러 가지 화질의 재생 영상을 얻을 수 있게 한다. 계층 모드는 시간적, 공간적, SNR(signal-to-noise ratio)로 나누어진다. 그 중에서 SNR 계층 모드는 고급계층에 따라서 다양한 해상도를 가질 수 있다. 계층부호화에는 크게 기본계층과 고급계층으로 나누어지는데, 기본계층은 QoS를 보장하여, 화질은 떨어지나 에러 없이 영상을 전송하고, 고급계층에서는 기본계층에 해상도 에러에 대한 나머지 정보를 전송한다. 고급계층으로 전송되는 정보는QoS가 보장되지 않으므로 비트에러나, 팻킷 에러가 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서 고급계층에 에러가 발생하게 되고, 에러 전파 현상이 일어난다. 본 논문에서는 단일계층부호화와 2 Layer 계층부호화에서 발생되는 에러의 차이점을 알아보고, 데이터 손실 없는 기본계층과 에러가 발생하는 고급계층에 상관관계를 분석하여, SNR계층부호화에서 맞는 고급계층 에러은닉 기법을 제안한다.

In this paper, an algorithm to calculate both bearing and distance error for target detection and localization is proposed using the Cramer Rao lower bound to estimate the minium variance of their error in DOA (Direction Of Arrival) estimation. The performance of arrays in detection and localization depends on the accuracy of DOA, which is affected by a variation of SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). The SNR is determined by sonar parameters such as a SL (Source Level), TL (Transmission Loss), NL (Noise Level), array shape and beam steering angle. For verification of the suggested method, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to probabilistically calculate the bearing and distance error according to the SNR which varies with the relative position of the target in space and noise level.
