In this paper, we investigate design criteria and the performance of the space-frequency bit-interleaved coded modulation (SF-BICM) systems in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. To determine the key parameters that affect the performance of SF-BICM, we derive the pairwise error probability (PEP) in terms of the determinant of the matrix corresponding to any two codewords. We prove that the bit-interleavers do the function of distributing the nonzero bits uniformly such that two or more nonzero bits are seldom distributed into the symbols that are transmitted in the same frequency bin. This implies that the bit-interleavers transform an SF-BICM system into an equivalent 1-antenna system. Based on this, we present design criteria of SFBICM systems that maximizes the diversity order and the coding gain. Then, we analyze the performance of SF-BICM for the case of 2-transmit antennas and 2-multipaths by deriving a frame error rate (FER) bound. The derived bound is accurate and requires only the distance spectrum of the constituent codes of SF-BICM. Numerical results reveal that the bound is tight enough to estimate the performance of SF-BICM very accurately.

In this paper, we study STBC(Space Time Block Code) detection scheme in time varying Rayleigh fading channel. When the channel is varying during the time duration of STBC, the channel matrix of orthogonal STBC is not orthogonal. To get the optimum reception performance in this channel, joint ML detection scheme may be used, however this scheme requires high computation complexity. Decision feedback scheme is proposed to reduce the computation complexity with less reception performance. In this paper, we propose a novel STBC detection algorithm using double decision feedback which is less complex than the joint ML scheme and outperforms the conventional decision feedback scheme.

The reliability of conventional wireless communication systems are diminished by multi-path fading, shadowing, propagation delay, pathloss, AWGN and an interference of the symbols. Therefore, we need more reliable system which can stably transmit multimedia datas over the poor communication environments, so, in this paper, we used STBC system based on STTC that allows a maximum space diversity gain of STBC scheme and channel efficiency, coding gain and diversity gain of STTC scheme at the same time. We did then analyzed the performance over the correlated slow fading channel between transmitter and receiver channels.

Energy efficiency is one of the most critical concerns for wireless sensor networks. By allowing sensor nodes in close proximity to cooperate in transmission to form a virtual multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system, recent progress in wireless MIMO communications can be exploited to boost the system throughput, or equivalently reduce the energy consumption for the same throughput and BER target. However, these cooperative transmission strategies may incur additional energy cost and system overhead. In this paper, assuming that data collectors are equipped with antenna arrays and superior processing capability, energy efficiency of relevant traditional and cooperative transmission strategies: Single-input-multiple-output(SIMO), space-time block coding(STBC), and spatial multiplexing(SM) are studied. Analysis in the wideband regime reveals that, while receive diversity introduces significant improvement in both energy efficiency and spectral efficiency, further improvement due to the transmit diversity of STBC is limited, as opposed to the superiority of the SM scheme especially for non-trivial spectral efficiency. These observations are further confirmed in our analysis of more realistic systems with limited bandwidth, finite constellation sizes, and a target error rate. Based on this analysis, general guidelines are presented for optimal transmission strategy selection in system level and link level, aiming at minimum energy consumption while meeting different requirements. The proposed selection rules, especially those based on system-level metrics, are easy to implement for sensor applications. The framework provided here may also be readily extended to other scenarios or applications.

This paper evaluates the performance combining space-time transmit diversity (STTD) and an efficient channel estimator (ECE) for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) systems in various mobile channels. Using decision variable (DV), we also derive the analytic bit error rate (BER) and mean square error (MSE) for WCDMA applying ECE for STTD schemes. The simulation results show that the ECE performance is superior to the previous works in [1] as because we use additional pilot diversity which is so called secondary common control physical channel (S-CCPCH). The performance in case of the channel estimator using only one-channel or two-channel is worse than that of an ECE as about the maximum 4 dB at BER 1.0E-3 satisfying voice service over Rician fading channel. Our results show that, even with ICE, an ECE algorithm are effective in improving the output SNR and significantly reduce the error floor. In addition, the simulation results investigated in this paper also reveal that WCDMA combining an ECE and the STTD scheme could provide appreciable performance improvements in Rayleigh fading channel.

We present the performance of differential space-time block decoders. which does not require the channel state information. We suggest the structure of the multiple blocks differential space time decoders. which does not require the channel state information, and analyze the Performances. In quasi-static flat fading channels. the Performance of multiple blocks differential detection (MD-STC) outperforms that of 2 blocks(D-STC) by 1.5dB. But in the time-selective fading channels due to Doppler frequency $(f_d)$, the performance of MD-STC degrades as the vehicular speed is greater than 200km/hr in 802.16e systems, where the data transmission rate is 144kbps.

Quasi-Orthogonal STBC (QO-STBC) scheme is proposed conventionally achieving approximate full rate and full diversity in more than 3 transmit antenna and open-loop environmen.. But, conventional QO-STBC has disadvantage that performance degradation by interference terms of detection matrix and high decoding complexity. Recently, this interference cancellation scheme of low decoding complexity by multiplying specific rotation matrix is proposed. We propose more general interference cancellation scheme by using EVD(Eigenvalue Decompostion).

This paper proposes a new cooperative protocol in which Alamouti's scheme is applied to exploit the advantages of both coded cooperation and Alamouti's scheme. It not only has better than direct transmission but also coded cooperation at appropriate cooperation levels. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can save approximately 6~7 dB of transmit power to achieve the target BER(Bit Error Rate) compared with coded cooperation. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed protocol does not significantly depend on the qualities of inter-user channels.
