Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a special technique for communication systems which can support the high data rate transmission with sufficient robustness to fading channels. Tansmitter diversity with space-time block coding (STBC) is an attractive transmission scheme to improve the performance of systems. In this paper, we compare the performance of space-time block coded OFDM systems with that of conventional OFDM systems over fast fading channels. The block-interleaved (BI) STBC and frequency hopping (FH) OFDM are proposed in the study to provide the maximum achievable diversity gains. As the simulation results, the STBC OFDM, Bl-STBC OFDM and Bl-STBC FH-OFDM provide the much improved performance over the conventional OFDM. And the Bl-STBC FH-OFDM also provide the better performance than the STBC OFDM and Bl-STBC OFDM, especially, in the case of the two transmit antennas are employed while BI-STBC FH-OFDM can maintain the same data rate of 12 Mbps.

Conventional channel estimation methods for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system don't show the good characteristics in terms of fast fading channels. To solve this drawback in conventional methods, we propose the channel estimation method fur OFDM, assisted pilot for improvement and convergence in mobile system (APIM), which has a good performance and computational complexity in consideration of other methods. APIM uses the more developed concept of conventional methods and a block frame structure within a whole channel. This concept prevents overall performance from diverging or showing a poor one. The simulation results demonstrate the APIM outperforms pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) and extended symbol aided estimation (ESAE) in terms of mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) performance under all Rayleigh fading environment. Considering the simulation performance and computational complexity, we can see APIM shows better characteristics than conventional methods for OFDM and has not any error floor even in a fast Rayleigh fading environment.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of an adaptive QAM scheme under flat and frequency selective fading channels for indoor wireless communication systems. The QAM modulation is combined with differential encoding and the demodulation process is carried out noncoherently. The adaptation is performed by varying the modulation level of QAM, depending upon received signal strength. The adaptation mechanism allows a 2- or 3-bit increase or decrease at a time, if the channel condition is considered to be significantly good or bad. Simulation results show that the average number of bits per symbol (ABPS) for each symbol block transmitted over a flat fading channel is higher than 5.0 and the BER performance is better than 10^-4 for a SNR value higher than 30 dB. For frequency selective fading channels, an oversampling technique in the receiver was employed. The BER performance obtained for frequency selective fading channels is better than 10^-4 with a SNR value of 40 dB and ABPS is found to be approximately 5.5. Therefore, this scheme is very useful in that it provides both very high bandwidth efficiency and acceptable performance with moderate SNR values over flat and frequency selective fading channels. In addition, this scheme provides reduced receiver complexity by way of noncoherent detection.

In this work, we study the performance of a serial concatenated scheme comprising a convolutional code (CC) and an orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) separated by an inter-leaver. Specifically, we derive performance bounds for this concatenated scheme, clearly quantify the impact of using a CC in conjunction with a STBC, and compare that to using a STBC code only. Furthermore, we examine the impact of performing antenna selection at the receiver on the diversity order and coding gain of the system. In performing antenna selection, we adopt a selection criterion that is based on maximizing the instantaneous signal-to­noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. That is, we select a subset of the available receive antennas that maximizes the received SNR. Two channel models are considered in this study: Fast fading and quasi-static fading. For both cases, our analyses show that substantial coding gains can be achieved, which is confirmed through Monte-Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the spatial diversity is maintained for all cases, whereas the coding gain deteriorates by no more than $10\;log_{10}$ (M / L) dB, all relative to the full complexity multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system.

This paper presents channel estimation of an asynchronous W-CDMA reverse link using the interpolation and moving average algorithm in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. The proposed algorithm is an interpolated decision-directed (IDD) block-wise moving average (BWMA) algorithm. The IDD-BWMA algorithm performs two- stage processes. The first stage performs data decision to make a virtual pilot channel by using linear interpolation channel estimation scheme. Then, the second stage performs the channel estimation of the “block-wise moving average” type by using a virtual pilot channel obtained in the first stage. By using Monte-Carlo computer simulations, we show that the proposed channel estimator is superior to other estimation schemes such as the WMSA(K=1) and DD-RAKE at higher Doppler frequencies, especially.

본 논문에서는 Nakagami 페이딩 채널 특성의 이동 통신 환경에서 정보 데이터를 PN 시퀀스로 대역 확산시켜 BPSK 변조를 취한 CDMA 시스템에 MRC 다이버시티와 반복 전송(다수결 선택)이나 부호화 기법을 다양하게 결합하였을 때의 블록 오율 성능 향상에 대하여 분석한다. 분석 결과로써, 부호화는 다이버시티 기법보다 더 효과적인 성능 향상을 보였다. 그러나 부호화는 더 넓은 주파수 대역을 필요로 하게 된다. 또한 MRC 다이버시티와 부호화 기법을 결합하였을 때 성능 개선이 크게 향상되었다.
