본 논문에서는 공간 코릴레이션이 존재하는 레일리이 페이딩 환경에서 직교 STBC 알고리즘들의 성능을 이론적으로 유도하고 여러 가지 코릴레이션 조건에서 각 방식의 성능을 비교, 분석한다. 먼저, 채널 코릴레이션 행렬의 고유값 (eigenvalues)을 이용하여 M-ary PSK와 M-ary QAM 변조 방식에 대한 직교 STBC 알고리즘의 비트 에러율을 유도한 다음, $1{\sim}4bps/Hz$의 전송율에 대해 공간 코릴레이션에 의한 성능의 영향을 분석한다. 성능 분석 결과, 공간 코릴레이션이 0.9이상으로 비교적 큰 환경에서는 모든 전송율에 대해 Alamouti 방식이 Tarokh 방식 보다 우수한 성능을 제공함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 대표적인 STBC 기법인 Alamouti., Tarokh, quasi-orthogonal 방식을 OFDM 시스템에 적용하여, 셀룰러 이동통신 환경에서 각 기법간의 성능을 비교, 분석한다. 먼저 각 STBC 기법들의 부호화 방식을 고찰하고 각 알고리즘 별로 적절한 복조 알고리즘을 제시한다. OFDM 시스템 파라메타는 Wibro 시스템을 고려하여 설정하며 2bps/HB에서 4bps/Hz까지의 전송율에 대해서 STBC 기법별로 적절한 변조방식을 채택한다. 또한, 안테나별로 채널 추정이 가능하도록 주파수 영역에서 Walsh 코드를 이용하여 프리앰블을 코딩한다. 끝으로, 여러 가지 이동통신 채널 환경에서 STBC-OFDM 시스템의 전송율에 따른 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교, 분석한다.

We present a statistical model for the path loss of ultrawideband (UWB) channels in indoor environments. In contrast to our previously reported measurements, the data reported here are for a bandwidth of 6GHz rather than 1.25GHz; they encompass commercial buildings in addition to single-family homes (20 of each); and local spatial averaging is included. As before, the center frequency is 5.0GHz. Separate models are given for commercial and residential environments and, within each category, for lineof sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLS) paths. All four models have the same mathematical structure, differing only in their numerical parameters. The two new models (LOS and NLS) for residences closely match those derived from the previous measurements, thus affirming the stability of our path loss modeling. We find, also, that the path loss statistics for the two categories of buildings are quite similar.

The paper proposes a new formulation of the output feedback pole assignment problem. In this formulation, a unified approach is presented for solving the pole assignment problem with various additional objectives. These objectives include optimizing a variety of performance indices, and imposing constraints on the output feedback matrix structure, e.g. decentralized structure. Conditions for the existence of the output feedback are discussed. However, the thrust of the paper is on the development of a convergent pole assignment algorithm. It is shown that when exact pole assignment is not possible, the method can be used to place the poles close to the desired locations. Examples are provided to illustrate the method.

In this paper, the performance of generic orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) introduced by Alamouti [2], Tarokh [3], and Su and Xia [11] is analyzed. We first define one-dimensional component symbol error function (ODSEF) from the exact expression of the pairwise error probability of an OSTBC. Utilizing the ODSEF and the bit error probability (BEP) expression for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) introduced by Cho and Yoon [9], the exact closed-form expressions for the BEP of linear OSTBCs with QAM in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel are derived. We also derive the exact closed-form of the BEP for some OSTBCs which have at least one message symbol transmitted with unequal power via all transmit antennas.

In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of a space-time coded system operating over spatially correlated fast (constant over the duration of a symbol) and slow (constant over the length of a code word) fad­ing channels using a moment-generating function-based approach. We discuss two analytical techniques that can be used to evaluate the exact-PEPs (and therefore, approximate the average bit error probability (BEP)) in closed form. These analytical expressions are more realistic than previously published PEP expressions as they fully account for antenna spacing, antenna geometries (uniform linear array, uniform grid array, uniform circular array, etc.) and scattering models (uniform, Gaussian, Laplacian, Von-mises, etc.). Inclusion of spatial information in these expressions provides valuable insights into the physical factors determining the performance of a space-time code. Using these new PEP expressions, we investigate the effect of antenna spacing, antenna geometries and azimuth power distribution parameters (angle of arrival/departure and angular spread) on the performance of a four-state QPSK space-time trellis code proposed by Tarokh et al. for two transmit antennas.

The bi-directional relay channel is the natural extension of a three-terminal relay channel where node a transmits to node b with the help of a relay r to allow for two-way communication between nodes a and b. That is, in a bi-directional relay channel, a and b wish to exchange independent messages over a shared channel with the help of a relay r. The rates at which this communication may reliably take place depend on the assumptions made on the relay processing abilities. We overview information theoretic limits of the bi-directional relay channel under a variety of conditions, before focusing on half-duplex nodes in which communication takes place in a number of temporal phases (resulting in protocols), and nodes may forward messages in four manners. The relay-forwarding considered are: Amplify and forward (AF), decode and forward (DF), compress and forward (CF), and mixed forward. The last scheme is a combination of CF in one direction and DF in the other. We derive inner and outer bounds to the capacity region of the bi-directional relay channel for three temporal protocols under these four relaying schemes. The first protocol is a two phase protocol where a and b simultaneously transmit during the first phase and the relay r alone transmits during the second. The second protocol considers sequential transmissions from a and b followed by a transmission from the relay while the third protocol is a hybrid of the first two protocols and has four phases. We provide a comprehensive treatment of protocols in Gaussian noise, obtaining their respective achievable rate regions, outer bounds, and their relative performance under different SNR and relay geometries.
