본 논문에서는 time-varying Rayleigh fading channel에서 분산 안테나 시스템의 최적 전력 분배 기법을 제안한다. 기존 관련 연구에서는 각 기지국으로부터 수신되는 전력의 차이를 기지국간 전력 분배에 고려하지 않았으나, 최근 들어 빠르게 변하는 small scale fading까지 Channel State Information (CSI)로하여 전력 분배를 하는 경우에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 하지만, 실제 무선통신 환경에서 송수신단간의 거리 차이 때문에 피드백이 반영된 신호가 수신될 때의 페이딩 채널은 피드백을 하는 시점과는 차이가 있고, 이로 인한 성능저하가 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능저하를 극복하고 CSI 피드백의 부담을 경감시키기 위하여 small scale fading을 제외하고, 느리게 변하는 경로손실과, 섀도잉에 의한 large scale fading값만을 피드백하는 분산 안테나 시스템을 제안하고 Bit Error Rate (BER)을 최소화하기 위한 최적 전력 분배 공식을 유도했다. 빠른 페이딩 환경에서, 제안된 최적 전력 분배 기법이 small scale fading까지 고려한 전력 분배 기법보다 월등히 좋은 성능을 보이며, 피드백 지연이 없는 환경에서도 1dB 이내의 성능을 보이는 것을 확인했다. 또한, 본 논문에서 Rayleigh fading channel을 가정하여 유도한 전력 분배 기법이 Line-of-Sight (LOS) 성분의 크기가 작은 Ricean fading channel에서도 최소의 BER과 거의 비슷한 값을 달성함을 보였다.

Achievable sum rate and energy efficiency (EE) are investigated for the massive multiple-input multiple-output (Massive MIMO) downlink with channel aging in the time varying Ricean fading channel. Specifically, the expression of the achievable sum rate of the system for the maximum ratio transmission (MRT) precoder with aged channel state information (CSI) in the time varying Ricean fading channel is first presented. Based on the expression, the effect of both channel aging and the Ricean factor on the power scaling law are studied. It is found that the transmit power of base station (BS) is scaled down by $1/{\sqrt{M}}$(where M is the number of the BS antennas) when the Ricean factor K is equal to zero (i.e., time varying Rayleigh fading channel), indicating that aged CSI does not affect the power scaling law. However, the transmit power of the BS is scaled down by 1/M for the time varying Ricean fading channel (where $K{\neq}0$) indicating that the Ricean factor affects the power scaling law and sum rate, and channel aging only leads to a reduction of the sum rate. Second, the EE of the system is analyzed based on the general power consumption model. Both the theoretical analysis and the simulations show that the channel aging could degrade the sum rate and the EE of the system, and it does not affect the power scaling law.

Conventional frequency domain equalization (FDE) schemes were originally devised for quasi-static channels. Thus, such equalization schemes could suffer from significant performance degradation in fast-fading channels. This paper proposes a frequency domain equalization algorithm to mitigate the effect of fast time-varying fading. First, a mathematical expression is derived to quantify the total interference resulting from the time variation of the channel. Then, the proposed approach attempts to eliminate the effect of time-variations of the channel. This cancellation allows efficient use of the classical FDE structures in fast time-varying fading environments, although they are built upon the quasi-static channel model. Simulation results of bit-error-rate performance are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a time-varying modified minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) detector for the detection of higher data rate signals in a multirate asynchronous code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system which is signaled in a fast Rayleigh fading channel. The interference viewed by a higher data rate symbol will be periodic due to the presence of a lower data rate symbol which spans multiple higher data rate symbols. The detection is carried out on the basis of a modified MMSE criterion which incorporates differential detection and the ratio of channel coefficients in two consecutive observation intervals inherently compensating the fast variation of the channel due to fading. The numerical results obtained by the MMSE detector with time-varying detection show around 3 dB (M=2) and 6 dB (M=4) performance improvement at a BER of $10^{-3}$ in the AWGN channel, while introducing more computational complexity than the MMSE detector without time-varying detection. At a higher $E_b/N_0$, the proposed scheme can achieve a BER of approximately $10^{-3}$ in the presence of fast channel variation which is an improvement over other schemes.

In this paper, the performances of OFDM and MC-CDMA systems in a slowly-varying multipath fading environment is investigated. Time variation of the multipath channel leads to both a change of an optimal coefficient in one-tap equalizer and a loss of subchannel orthogornality, resulting in significant performance loss. A new simple one-tap equalizer which can reduce the effect of slowly time-varying multipath channel is proposed by taking into account time-variation of multipath profile and modifying the previous equalization techniques. It is demonstrated by computer simulation that the performances of OFDM and MC-CDMA systems can be improved by using the proposed one-tap equalizers when the multipath channel is slowly varying.

In this paper, we propose a number of blind equalization approaches for time-varying andmulti-path channels. The approaches employ cost reference particle filter (CRPF) as the symbol estimator, and additionally employ either least mean squares algorithm, recursive least squares algorithm, or $H{\infty}$ filter (HF) as a channel estimator such that they are jointly employed for the strategy of "Rao-Blackwellization," or equally called "mixture filtering." The novel feature of the proposed approaches is that the blind equalization is performed based on direct channel estimation with unknown noise statistics of the received signals and channel state system while the channel is not directly estimated in the conventional method, and the noise information if known in similar Kalman mixture filtering approach. Simulation results show that the proposed approaches estimate the transmitted symbols and time-varying channel very effectively, and outperform the previously proposed approach which requires the noise information in its application.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송방식은 효율적인 주파수 사용 및 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능한 장점으로 인해 페이딩 환경에서 우수한 성능을 보이지만, 실질적으로는 다중 경로 페이딩 채널의 시간에 따른 변화에 대해 성능 저하가. 발생한다. 이러한 채널의 시간적 변화에 대한 영향을 극복하고, 시스템의 성능을 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 채널 추정: 기법들이 제안되어 왔다. 그러나 채널 추정을 위한 기존의 파일럿 패턴들은 이동체의 속도에 대해 강인한 특성을 지니지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 보편적으로 사용되는 파일럿 패턴들의 이동성에 대한 단점을 극복하고, 도플러 확산으로 비롯된 시변 채널 환경에서 타 기법들에 대하여 우수한 성능을 달성하기 위해 기존 패턴에 변형을 가한 파일럿 패턴을 제안한다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 시변 채널 환경에서 변형된 파일럿 패턴의 성능이 기존의 패턴보다 우수함을 보였다.

Most existing space-time coding (STC) schemes have been developed for flat fading channels. To obtain antenna diversity gain, they rely on channel state information (CSI) required at the receiver through channel estimation techniques. This paper proposes a new decision feedback decoding scheme for Alamouti-based space-time block coding (STBC) transmission over time-selective fading channels. In wireless channels, time-selective fading effects arise mainly due to Doppler shift and carrier frequency offset, Modelling the time-selective fading channels as the first-order Gauss-Markov processes, we use recursive algorithms such as Kalman filtering, LMS and RLS algorithms for channel tracking. The proposed scheme consists of the symbol decoding stage and channel tracking algorithms. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed scheme shows the better performance and robustness to time-selectivity.

본 논문에서는 회선교환 방식의 이동통신 환경에서 전송 오류에 강인한 동영상 전송 시스템을 구현하기 위해서 채널의 상태에 따라 적응적으로 부호화율을 변화시키는 터보 코드 기반 오류정정 기법을 제안한다. 제안 시스템에서는 먼저 가변길이의 응용계층 단위(segment)로 생성되는 영상 부호화 스트림에 부합하도록 바이트정렬 가변길이 (byte-aligned variable-length) 터보 코드를 사용한다. 즉 ITU-T H.263+ 동영상 스트림을 GOB (group of block) 별로 나누고 이를 채널 상태에 따라 적절한 바이트정렬 가변길이 터보 코드를 적용하여 보호하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 제안된 동영상 전송 시스템의 압축 부호화율과 오류정정 부호화율 간의 상관관계를 분석하고 정적인 상황에서 최적의 부호화율을 먼저 모색한다. 또한 실제적인 이동통신 채널을 적절하게 근사하는 시변 레일리 페이딩(Rayleigh fading) 채널을 모델링한 다음 채널 변화에 따라 부호화율을 적응적으로 조절하는 기법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 제안된 적응 기법의 적용에 따른 성능 향상을 동영상 전송 성능의 비교를 통하여 검증한다.

In this research, we study the problem of opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) in a time-varying environment with fading channels, where the channel state is characterized by both channel quality and the occupancy of primary users (PUs). First, a finite-state Markov channel model is introduced to represent a fading channel. Second, by probing channel quality and exploring the activities of PUs jointly, a two-dimensional partially observable Markov decision process framework is proposed for OSA. In addition, a greedy strategy is designed, where a secondary user selects a channel that has the best-expected data transmission rate to maximize the instantaneous reward in the current slot. Compared with the optimal strategy that considers future reward, the greedy strategy brings low complexity and relatively ideal performance. Meanwhile, the spectrum sensing error that causes the collision between a PU and a secondary user (SU) is also discussed. Furthermore, we analyze the multiuser situation in which the proposed single-user strategy is adopted by every SU compared with the previous one. By observing the simulation results, the proposed strategy attains a larger throughput than the previous works under various parameter configurations.
