In this paper, a new soft-fusion approach for multiple-receiver wireless communication systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, each individual receiver provides the central receiver with a confidence level rather than a binary decision. The confidence levels associated with the local receiver are modeled by means of soft-membership functions. The proposed approach can be applied to wireless digital communication systems, such as amplitude shift keying, frequency shift keying, phase shift keying, multi-carrier code division multiple access, and multiple inputs multiple outputs sensor networks. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared to the performance of the optimal diversity, majority voting, optimal partial decision, and selection diversity in case of binary noncoherent frequency shift keying on a Rayleigh faded additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the proposed approach achieves considerable performance improvement over optimal partial decision, majority voting, and selection diversity. It is also shown that the proposed approach achieves a performance comparable to the optimal diversity scheme.

A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) transceiver structure is presented to be used in wireless body area networks (WBANs). In the proposed structure, a data channel and a control channel are combined into a single transmission signal. In the signal, a modulation method mixing pulse position modulation and pulse amplitude modulation is proposed. A mathematical framework calculating the power spectrum density of the proposed pulse-based signal evaluates its coexistence with conventional radio systems. The transceiver structure is discussed, and the receiving performance is investigated in the additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme is easier to match to the UWB emission mask than conventional UWB systems. The proposed scheme achieves the data rate requirement of WBAN; the logical control channel achieves better receiving performance than the logical data channel, which is useful for controlling and maintaining networks. The proposed scheme is also easy to implement.

In this paper, we present the practical application of an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for an Indoor Mobile Localization System using ultrasonic sensors. It is true that many kinds of localization techniques have been researched for several years in order to contribute to the realization of a ubiquitous system; particularly, such a ubiquitous system needs a high degree of accuracy to be practical and efficient. Unfortunately, a number of localization systems for indoor space do not have sufficient accuracy to establish any special task such as precise position control of a moving target even though they require comparatively high developmental cost. Therefore, we developed an Indoor Mobile Localization System having high localization performance; specifically, the Unscented Kalman Filter is applied for improving the localization accuracy. In addition, we also present the additive filter named 'Pre-filtering' to compensate the performance of the estimation algorithm. Pre-filtering has been developed to overcome negative effects from unexpected external noise so that localization through the Unscented Kalman Filter has come to be stable. Moreover, we tried to demonstrate the performance comparison of the Unscented Kalman Filter and another estimation algorithm, such as the Unscented Particle Filter (UPF), through simulation for our system.

In this paper, in order to apply the idea MDPSK to TCM, we use signal set expansion and set partition by phase differences. Through this we propose the trellis-coded MDPSK. And the Viterbi decoder containing branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the Lth order phase difference as well as the first order phase difference is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) in the differential detection of the trellis-coded MDPSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually same to the sliding multiple symbol dection method which uses the branch metric with the first and Lth order phase differences. We investigate the performance of the uncoded DQPSK and the trallis-coded D8PSK in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) through the Monte Carlo simulation under the two cases of using and not using the Lth order phase difference metric. The study shows that trellis-coded 8DPSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems while also improving the BER performance when the Viterbi decoder is employed to the Lth order phase order difference metric. This performance improvement has been obtained without sacrificing the bandwidth or the power efficiency.

In this paper, we propose a joint coding system for still images using source coding and powerful error correcting code schemes. Our system comprises an LVQ (lattice vector quantization) source coding for wavelet transformed images and turbo coding for channel coding. The parameters of the image encoder and channel encoder have been optimized for an n-D (dimension) cubic lattice (D$_{n}$, Z$_{n}$), parallel concatenation fur two simple RSC (recursive systematic convolutional code) and an interleaver. For decoding the received image in the case of the AWGN (additive white gaussian noise) channel, we used an iterative joint source-channel decoding algorithm for a SISO (soft-input soft-output) MAP (maximum a posteriori) module. The performance of transmission system has been evaluated in the PSNR, BER and iteration times. A very small degradation of the PSNR and an improvement in BER were compared to a system without joint source-channel decoding at the input of the receiver.ver.

CDMA 시스템의 채널을 여러 사용자가 공유하면 수신기는 MAI 문제에 직면하고 또한 다중로 시나리오는 ISI를 유발한다. 두 요소는 원치 않는 성분이지만 완전히 예측할 수 없는 부가 잡음과는 다르게 이러한 요소의 시공간 구조는 이들을 추정하고 제거하는데 도움이 된다. 본 논문은 다중로를 가진 페이딩 채널에 대한 연구이며 채널 추정 부분과 수신 부분을 분리하였다. 추정 부분은 DOA와 TOA 같은 다중로 파라미터를 추정하고 수신 부분은 역상관 빔포머, 시공간 정합필터, Winer-Hopf 빔포머에 대하여 평가한다. 여러 가지 추정 기술과 빔포머의 평가를 이론치와 비교하여 시뮬레이션 하였다.

CDMA 시스템에 있어서 다중접속간섭(MAI : Multiple Access Interference)은 시스템 성능과 사용자 용량을 저하시킨다. 최근 다중접속간섭을 제거하는 기법 중에 하나인 부귀환 다중사용자검파기(feedback detector)로 부귀환 직교 다중사용자검파기(ODFD : Orthogonal decision-feedback detector)와 부귀환 역상관 다중사용자검파기와(DDFD ; decorrelating decision-feedback detector)가 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 부귀환 직교 다중사용자검파기와 블라인드 등화기를 결합한 블라인드 적응형 다중사용자 검파기를 제안하였다. 부가 백색화 가우시안 잡음(AWGN ; additive white gaussian noise) 채널 환경과 레일리(Rayleigh) 페이딩 채널 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 본 논문에서 제안한 블라인드 적응형 부귀환 직교 다중사용자검파기(BA-ODFD)와 블라인드 적응형 부귀환 역상관 검파기(BA-DDFD)을 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 부호화된 4+12+16 APSK에 대하여 낮은 복잡도를 갖는 근사화된 연판정 디매핑 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 도출하기 위해 4+12+16 APSK의 결정 경계를 근사화하고, 그 근사화된 결정 경계로부터 각 비트에 대한 LLR 값을 계산한다. 새롭게 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 max-log 알고리즘보다 곱셈 계산 수를 상당히 줄여 수신기 복잡도를 크게 낮출 수 있으며, 낮은 복잡도로 인한 BER 성능 열화를 약 1.1dB 이하로 줄일 수 있다.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of code division multiple access (CDMA) systems with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) that employ random spreading sequences in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. We obtain the probability density function (pdf) of the multiple access interference and extend the results to OFDM-CDMA systems to determine the pdf of multiple access and inter-carrier interference in terms of the number of users, the spreading length, the number of sub-carriers, and the frequency offset. We consider the synchronous downlink of cellular multi-carrier CDMA and derive a Gaussian approximation of the multiple access and inter-carrier interference. Overall the effect of frequency offset is shown to vary with the system loading. The analysis in this paper is critical for further development into fading channels and frequency selective multipath channels.
