The error rate equation of FH/MFSK signal of repeated diversity received over m-distribution fading channel with partial-band interference has been derived and the error rate has been evaluated to show in figures as a function of signal to noise ratio, signal to interference ratio, fading figure, repeated number, partial-band interference fraction and power correlation coefficient between signal and interference. In this paper, we assumed that repeated diversity technique is used in transmitter against fading occurred in mobile radio channel. By comparing the error rate performance in diversity against fading and the obtainable degree of improvement of error performance with diversity technique has been found out. From the result, it is known that error rate performance deteriorates more as $\rho$ becomes small i.e., the partial-band interference gives more effect on error performance than full-band interference. Also when the values of $E_b/N_1$ and $\rho$ are small. as depth of fading diversity technique.

Despite attractive advantages such as good time-frequency localization and improved spectral efficiency, filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) suffers from multipath fading. In highly frequency-selective channels, the effect of multipath interference can significantly distort the FBMC/OQAM signal due to the absence of cyclic prefix. To resolve the problem of the multipath interference in FBMC/OQAM, this paper proposes applying an antenna array that provides well shaped beam pattern for each multipath. To evaluate the performance of the proposed array system, various computer simulations have been conducted. The accuracy of direction of arrival estimation is demonstrated through spatial spectrum for a different number of antennas in a sub-array. The performance improvement is presented in terms of bit error rate. We found that the proposed array system mitigate the multipath interferences in Extended Typical Urban model with 12 antennas in a sub-array. Moreover, as the number of antennas in a sub-array increases, the system provides a signal-to-noise ratio gain.

Current mobile communication systems utilize the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique as an important means to enhance the bandwidth efficiency. Accurate beamforming via channel estimation contributes to the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) increase and the system performance improvement when MIMO transmission techniques are employed. Therefore, determination of beamforming vectors as well as the design of appropriate codebooks defining these codevectors play an important role in system operation. In this paper, we statistically analyze the phase difference between the channels corresponding to adjacent antenna elements in order to design an efficient codebook for uniform circular arrays (UCAs). We introduce new parameters which compensate for the additional phase difference observed in its probability density functions (PDFs). The performance of the proposed codebook is tested using the spatial channel model (SCM) to demonstrate its gain over the standard codebooks adopted in the long term evolution (LTE) Releases 8 and 10.

Interpolation schemes are used widely in image magnification. Magnified image generated by interpolation scheme is composed of the known pixels in input image and the interpolated pixels estimated from the known pixels in input image. So, as the interpolated pixels are estimated to have locality which exists in real images, the magnified image is much closer to the real image. In this paper, an efficient interpolation scheme was proposed to provide locality for the interpolated pixels by using the characteristics of adjacent pixels in input image. The quality of magnified image using the proposed scheme was improved. In experiment, PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The PSNR's of the magnified images generated by the proposed scheme were greater than those of the magnified images generated by the previous interpolation methods.

At coverage boundaries of cellular systems including the recent WiBro standard which operate with full frequency reuse for increased spectral efficiency, interference signals from the base stations(BS) of adjacent cells degrade the receiver performance. In this paper, a detection method for multiple-antenna mobile stations(MS) is proposed for downlink performance improvement at coverage boundaries of cellular systems. For the performance verification, we obtain the probability density function(pdf) of the effective signal-to-interference and noise ratio(SINR) according to the variation of the interference signals from adjacent cells as well as the number of MS antennas, and calculate the transmission efficiency. We also verify the performance of proposed method with simulation results, to demonstrate a significant performance improvement is achieved over the maximal ratio combining(MRC) and spatial demultiplexing(SD) methods in terms of the effective SINR and the spectral efficiency.

In this paper, we consider the superposed 16-QAM CDMA system for subband coded (SBC) image transmissions. We divide the SBC image bit into two group according to its significance. First, we investigate the average bit error rate (BER) of the overall system when the significance of bits is ignored. Next, we investigate the optimal signal constellation and processing gain that maximizes the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of SBC image, subject to a fixed power and bandwidth constraint. We examine the performance improvement over the conventional equal distane, equal processing gain system, and the equal error protection (EEP) system.

In this paper, a transcoding method that transforms MPEG-4 video bitstream coded in 30 Hz frame rate into H.264 video bitstream of 15 Hz frame rate is proposed. The block modes and motion vectors in MPEG-4 is utilized in H.264 for block mode conversion and motion vector (MV) interpolation methods. The proposed three types of MV interpolation method can be used without performing full motion estimation in H.264. The proposed transcoder reduces computation amount for full motion estimation in H.264 and provides good quality of H.264 video at low bitrates. In experimental results, the proposed methods achieves 3.2-4 times improvement in computational complexity compared to the cascaded pixel-domain transcoding, while the PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) is degraded with 0.2-0.9dB depending on video sizes.

This paper proposes a multiple-relay-assisted single side band (SSB) space frequency block code (SFBC) single carrier (SC)-frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system and measures the performance of SSB SFBC SC-FDMA transmission system with the signal-to-noise power ratio SNR) between relays and a destination station. As we know, the performance of relay-assisted transmission systems can be easily improved by re-transmitting to the destination station after applying block code to the recovered transmitted signals of relays. In this paper, the performance improvement of the relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system can be obtained without any significant increase of system computational complexity by implementing block code with the complex conjugates symmetric characteristic of SSB system. The simulation result shows that the SNR performance of the proposed multiple-relay-assisted SSB SFBC SC-FDMA system is about 4 dB better than the performance of the single-relay-assisted SSB SC-FDMA system at the symbol error rate of 10^-2.

The reconstruction problem in a low dose case requires some compromise of resolution and noise artifacts, and also some modification of filter kernels depending on the signal-to-noise ratio of projection data. In this paper, ail algorithm for the reconstruction of an image function from noisy projection data is suggested, based on minimum-mean-square error criterion. Modification of the falter kernel is made from information (statistics) obtained from the projection data. The simulation study Proves that this algorithm, based on the Wiener falter approach, provides substantially improved image with reduction of noise as well as improvement of the resolution. An approximate method was also studied which leads to the possible use of a recursive filter in the convolution process of image reconstruction.

Sphere Decoding (SD) is a decoding technique able to achieve the Maximum Likelihood (ML) performance in fading environments; nevertheless, the main disadvantage of this technique is its high complexity, especially in poor channel conditions. In this paper, we present an adaptive hybrid algorithm which reduces the conventional Sphere Decoder's complexity and keeps the ML performance. The system called Adaptive OSIC-SD modifies its operation based on Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) information and achieves an optimal performance in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) and complexity. Through simulations, we probe that the proposed system maintains almost the same bit error rate performance of the conventional SD, and exhibits a lower, quasi-constant complexity.
