A multi-stage turbo equalization scheme based on the bit-level combining (BLC) is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). In the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme, the minimum mean-square-error equalizer at each iteration calculates the extrinsic log-likelihood ratios for the transmitted bits in a subpacket and the subpackets are sequentially replaced at each iteration according to the HARQ rounds of received subpackets. Therefore, a number of iterations are executed for different subpackets received at several HARQ rounds, and the transmitted bits received at the previous HARQ rounds as well as the current HARQ round can be estimated from the combined information up to the current HARQ round. In addition, the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme has the same computational complexity as the conventional bit-level combining based turbo equalization scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme outperforms the conventional BLC based turbo equalization scheme for MIMO systems with HARQ.

터보 등화기 시스템은 디코더와 등화기를 결합을 통해서 등화성능을 높일 수 있는 방법이다. 터보 등화기에는 주로 MAP 등화기가 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 MAP 등화기를 적용한 터보 등화기는 높은 계산 복잡도를 가지는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고 데이터 전송 효율을 높이기 위해 선형 SISO-MMSE을 적용한 터보 등화기에 데이터 전송 효율을 높이기 위해 블라인드 알고리즘을 적용한 블라인드 터보 등화기가 제안되었다. 블라인드 터보등화기는 기존의 터보 등화기에 비해 등화 성능이 낮은 단점이 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 우리는 MUSIC 알고리즘 기반의 빔포밍을 적용한 시스템을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 다양한 멀티패스 환경에서 제안된 시스템을 통한 등화 성능의 향상을 확인 할 수 있다.

무선통신 시스템에서 신호의 다중경로 전달 과정에 의해 발생하는 지연 확산 현상 때문에 인접 심벌 간 간섭 (ISI, Inter-Symbol Interference)에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 다중 경로를 갖는 채널에서 채널 부호화 기법과 등화기가 결합하여 동작하는 터보 등화기를 갖는 시스템의 성능을 검증하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 사용한 터보 등화기를 이용하여 반복 복호를 하였을 때는, 1회 반복 시 BER 10-4을 기준으로 반복이 없는 등화기를 사용하였을 때 보다 1.5 dB 성능이 향상되었다. 또한 터보 등화기의 반복이 2, 3 회로 늘어남에 따라 약 3.5 dB 성능이 향상되었고, 3회 이상 반복하였을 때는 더 이상 성능이 향상되지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 외부 부호로 DVB-S2 시스템에서 표준으로 제안된 LDPC 부호와 내부 부호로는 시공간 격자 부호를 사용하는 터보등화 방식의 MIMO 시스템을 제안한다. 시공간 격자 부호와 LDPC 복호기를 연접시킨 계층적 시공간 부호기는 duo-binary 터보 복호기와 연접시킨 터보 등화 방식과는 달리 LDPC 복호기의 내부에서만 반복 복호를 시행하여 성능이 저하되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시공간 격자 부호화 방식을 BCJR 복호기를 적용하여 LDPC 복호기가 전체 반복을 통하여 성능을 향상시키는 방안을 제시하고 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제시하는 효율적인 연접 방식을 이용하면 기존 연판정 기반의 LDPC와 시공간 격자 부호를 연접하는 방식에 비하여 약 0.6 dB의 성능이 향상되었다.

Single carrier-frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has been adopted as the uplink transmission standard in fourth-generation cellular networks to facilitate power efficiency transmission in mobile stations. Because multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is a promising technology employed to fully exploit the channel capacity in mobile radio networks, this study investigates the uplink transmission of MU-MIMO SC-FDMA systems with orthogonal space-frequency block codes (SFBCs). It is preferable to minimize the length of the cyclic prefix (CP). In this study, the chained turbo equalization technique with chained turbo estimation is employed in the designed receiver. Chained turbo estimation employs a short training sequence to improve the spectrum efficiency without compromising the estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel and spectrally efficient iterative joint-channel estimation, multiuser detection, and turbo equalization for an MU-MIMO SC-FDMA system without CP-insertion and with short TR. Some simulation examples are presented for the uplink scenario to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The iterative usage of soft outputs increases the performance of digital radio receiver. The feedback of reliability information reduces the channel estimation errors and increases the performance of equalization. This paper investigates the turbo equalization techniques for wireless cellular systems over continuous time varying channel. Simulation results over a GSM channel were presented.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive turbo system for a varying channel between being frequency-flat and frequency-selective. The proposed system unites a turbo code and a turbo equalization and selects one of two algorithms adaptively to the channel variation with the feedback information from the receiver. The performance of the proposed system in varying channel is evaluated by computer simulation when the feedback delay exists. It is shown that when the feedback delay is moderate, the proposed system outperforms both the conventional turbo code system and turbo equalization system without increasing the complexity.

Underwater Acoustic Channels (UAC) have inherent sparse characteristics. The traditional adaptive equalization techniques do not utilize this feature to improve the performance. In this paper we consider the Variable Adaptive Subgradient Projection (V-ASPM) method to derive a new sparse equalization algorithm based on the Minimum Symbol Error Rate (MSER) criterion. Compared with the original MSER algorithm, our proposed scheme adds sparse matrix to the iterative formula, which can assign independent step-sizes to the equalizer taps. How to obtain such proper sparse matrix is also analyzed. On this basis, the selection scheme of the sparse matrix is obtained by combining the variable step-sizes and equalizer sparsity measure. We call the new algorithm Sparse-Control Proportional-MSER (SC-PMSER) equalizer. Finally, the proposed SC-PMSER equalizer is embedded into a turbo receiver, which perform turbo decoding, Digital Phase-Locked Loop (DPLL), time-reversal receiving and multi-reception diversity. Simulation and real-field experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in convergence speed and Bit Error Rate (BER).

In this paper, a method based on the turbo principle is presented which combines diversity reception, equalization, and channel decoding, to combat the high transmission losses over the frequency-selective fading channel. The simulation results show that with the method presented, the BER performance within 0.3 ㏈ from that on the AWGN channel can be obtained over the frequency-selective fading channel in the investigated scenarios.

Massive (large-scale) MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is one of the key technologies in next-generation wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a high-performance low-complexity turbo receiver for SC-FDMA (single-carrier frequency-division multiple access) based MMIMO (massive MIMO) systems. Because SC-FDMA technology has the desirable characteristics of OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) and the low PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) of SC transmission schemes, the 3GPP LTE (long-term evolution) has adopted it as the uplink transmission to meet the demand high data rate and low error rate performance. The complexity of computing will be increased greatly in base station with massive MIMO (MMIMO) system. In this paper, a low-complexity adaptive turbo equalization receiver based on normalized minimal symbol-error-rate for MMIMO SC-FDMA system is proposed. The proposed receiver is with low complexity than that of the conventional turbo MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer and is also with better bit error rate (BER) performance than that of the conventional adaptive turbo MMSE equalizer. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
