Channel estimation and data detection for OFDM systems over time- and frequency-selective channels are investigated. Relying on the complex exponential basis expansion channel model, a pilot-embedded channel estimation scheme with low computational complexity and spectral efficiency is proposed. A periodic pilot sequence is superimposed at a low power on information bearing sequence at the transmitter before modulation and transmission. The channel state information(CSI) can be estimated using the first-order statistics of the received data. In order to enhance the performance of channel estimation, we recover the transmitted data which can be exploited to estimate CSI iteratively. Simulation results show that the proposed method is suitable for doubly-selective channel estimation for the OFDM systems and the performance of the proposed method can be better than that of the Wiener filter method under some conditions. Through simulations, we also analyze the factors which can affect the system performances.

In this paper, we propose an iterative transceiver design in a multi-relay multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. The design criterion is to minimize sum mean squared error (SMSE) under relay sum power constraint (RSPC) where only local channel state information (CSI)s are available at relays. Local CSI at a relay is defined as the CSI of the channel between BS and the relay in the $1^{st}$ hop link, and the CSI of the channel between the relay and all users in the $2^{nd}$ hop link. Exploiting BS transmitter structure which is concatenated with block diagonalization (BD) precoder, each relay's precoder can be determined using local CSI at the relay. The proposed scheme is based on sequential iteration of two stages; stage 1 determines BS transmitter and relay precoders jointly with SMSE duality, and stage 2 determines user receivers. We verify that the proposed scheme outperforms simple amplify-and-forward (SAF), minimum mean squared error (MMSE) relay, and an existing good scheme of [13] in terms of both SMSE and sum-rate performances.

This paper proposes an adaptive mode switching algorithm between two strategies in multiple antenna cellular networks:A single-user mode and a multi-user mode for the broadcast channel. If full channel state information is available at the base station, it is known that a multi user transmission strategy would outperform all single-user transmission strategies. In the absence of full side information, it is unclear what the capacity achieving method is, and thus there are few criteria to decide which of the myriad possible methods performs best given a system configuration. We compare a single user transmission and a multi user transmission with linear receivers in this paper where the transmitter and the receivers have multiple antennas, and find that neither strategy dom inates the other. There is instead a transition point between the two strategies. Then, the mode switching point is determined both ana lytically and numerically for a multiple antenna cellular downlink with correlation between transmit antennas.

본 논문에서는 차기 군 위성통신체계 환경에서 OTM(On-The-Move) 위성단말의 채널 blockage 신호 손실 보상을 위한 협업통신 기법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 협업기법은 인접 OTM 위성단말과 지상 무전기 체계를 통해 데이터를 공유하고 직교확산코드를 이용하여 대역확산 후 동시에 전송한다. 중첩되어 전송된 확산열은 EGC(Equal Gain Combining) 방식으로 결합한다. 성능 분석을 위해 OTM 위성단말의 blockage 채널을 2-state Markov chain으로 모델링하였으며, 이를 기반으로 협업단말들의 blockage 채널 상태에 따른 비트오류율을 도출하였다. 성능분석 결과 채널 조건이 더 나은 인접 OTM 위성단말의 협업으로 비트오류율 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 blockage 확률이 높을수록 협업을 통해 더욱 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 서로 다른 지연을 갖는 확산 열 간 중첩으로 인해 협업단말 수 증가 시 다중접속간섭으로 인한 성능상의 제약이 있음을 확인하였다.

More people prefer using rail traffic for travel or for commuting owing to its convenience and flexibility. The railway scenario has become an important communication scenario in the fifth generation era. The communication system should be designed to support high-data-rate demands with seamless connectivity at a high mobility. In this paper, the channel characteristics are studied and modeled for the railway tunnel scenario with straight and curved route shapes. On the basis of measurements using the "Mobile Hotspot Network" system, a three-dimensional ray tracer (RT) is calibrated and validated for the target scenarios. More channel characteristics are explored via RT simulations at 25.25 GHz with a 500-MHz bandwidth. The key channel parameters are extracted, provided, and incorporated into a 3rd-Generation-Partnership-Project-like stochastic channel generator. The necessary channel information can be practically realized, which can support the link-level and system-level design of the communication system in similar scenarios.

In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio system operating as secondary user. It uses an empty channel that is not currently used by primary users having the license to the channel. In the previous works, secondary user looks for an empty channel by choosing any channel in order or randomly and by sensing the channel to distinguish whether primary users are using. But if primary user is fixed type, we will find an empty channel faster than the mentioned channel selecting methods by using a method considering prior information about cases that primary user used the channel, since it is possible to analogize the channel access possibility of primary user according to regular time and position. Therefore, we propose a channel searching method based on the channel list for the purpose of reducing the channel searching time and improving throughput of secondary users. Firstly, we determine a weighting value of each channel based on the history of channel activities of primary users. This value is added to current channel state buffer and we search an empty channel from channel with smallest value to one with the biggest value. Finally, we compare the performances of the proposed method with those of the sequential channel searching and the random channel searching methods in terms of the average channel searching time and the average number of transmissions of secondary user.

Multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network requires an effective management policy to control the assignment of channels to each radio. We concentrated our investigation on modeling method and solution to find a dynamic channel assignment scheme that is adapted to change of network traffic. Multi-path routing scheme was chosen to overwhelm the unreliability of wireless link. For a particular traffic state, our optimization model found a specific traffic distribution over multi-path and a channel assignment scheme that maximizes the overall network throughput. We developed a simple heuristic method for channel assignment by gradually removing clique load to obtain higher throughput. We also presented numerical examples and discussion of our models in comparison with existing research.

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based wireless system, a pilot signal is often employed to estimate channel state information (CSI). However, the received pilot signal is interfered by other cell interference in multi-cell environments. We consider the estimation of CSI by utilizing orthogonal preambles and channel correlation.

적응 전송 MIMO(multiple input multiple output)-OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템은 CSI(channel state information)의 되먹임을 이용하여 각 부반송파의 채널 상황에 따라 변조 방식을 다르게 전송하는 시스템이다. CSI 되먹임 채널인 상향링크 채널에는 송수신기 처리지연, 전송 지연, 프레임 지연 등 다중 지연 요소가 존재한다. 이러한 다중 지연요소로 인한 CSI 불일치는 채널 상황에 따라 적절한 변조 방식을 결정하는데 오류를 발생시키게 되어 시스템 성능을 떨어트린다. 본 논문에서는 적응 시스템에 내장되는 다중 지연 채널 예측 방식인 CTSBP(comb type samples based prediction)와 BTSBP(block type samples based prediction)에 대해 전송 지연 및 채널 신호 대 잡음비에 따른 MSE (mean square error), 데이터 율 등 성능을 비교한다. 이를 통하여 악조건 다중경로 채널환경에 강건한 적응 전송 SISO(single input single output)-OFDM/MIMO-OFDM을 설계한다. 또한 CSI 되먹임 오버헤드를 줄이기 위한 방안으로 선형보간 방법을 제안하고 선형 보간 간격에 따른 MSE를 도출한다.

An optimal channel input-traffic control (OCIC) policy is proposed for slotted frequency-hopped spread-spectrum multiple access communication systems. When the number of channel input packets is set to the optimal number, the conditional throughput for the OCIC policy is analyzed. The state transition probability is derived, the steady state performance is analyzed, and the mean pracket delay is obtained. It is shown that the mean packet delay decreases considerably when the priority of transmission is given to backlogged users. The smaller is the number of requency slots, the larger are the differences between the preformance of the OCIC policy and that of the other policies.
