For massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) circumstances with time division duplex (TDD) protocol, pilot contamination becomes one of main system performance bottlenecks. This paper proposes an uplink pilot sequence assignment to alleviate this problem for spatially correlated massive MIMO circumstances. Firstly, a single-cell TDD massive MIMO model with multiple terminals in the cell is established. Then a spatial correlation between two channel response vectors is established by the large-scale fading variables and the angle of arrival (AOA) span with an infinite number of base station (BS) antennas. With this spatially correlated channel model, the expression for the achievable system capacity is derived. To optimize the achievable system capacity, a problem regarding uplink pilot assignment is proposed. In view of the exponential complexity of the exhaustive search approach, a pilot assignment algorithm corresponding to the distinct channel AOA intervals is proposed to approach the optimization solution. In addition, simulation results prove that the main pilot assignment algorithm in this paper can obtain a noticeable performance gain with limited BS antennas.

Signal Fading due to multipath propagation severely impairs the performance of high-speed mobile communication systems. Effective diversity scheme for fading channel is STTD (Space Time Transmitter Diversity) method. This scheme is very simple and using 2 transmit antennas and 1 receive antenna provides a diversity order of two[1],[2]. In this paper, we derive the new probability density function of the envelope of the received signal over correlated Rayleigh fading channel. Using the new pdf of the envelope we analyze the performance of noncoherent M-ary FSK, DPSK and ASKSTTD (Space Time Transmitter Diversity) a system on correlated Rayleigh fading channel.

The reliability of conventional wireless communication systems are diminished by multi-path fading, shadowing, propagation delay, pathloss, AWGN and an interference of the symbols. Therefore, we need more reliable system which can stably transmit multimedia datas over the poor communication environments, so, in this paper, we used STBC system based on STTC that allows a maximum space diversity gain of STBC scheme and channel efficiency, coding gain and diversity gain of STTC scheme at the same time. We did then analyzed the performance over the correlated slow fading channel between transmitter and receiver channels.

This paper proposes an antenna selection and switching system between spatial multiplexing and diversity techniques. The proposed system overcomes spatial correlation by using antenna selection method and improve bit error performance with switching encoding nudes between a spatial multipexing encoder and a diversity encoder. Therefore, in a 4 transmit and 2 receive antenna system first, the proposed system selects 2 transmit antennas, and next, switches encoding modes between Space-Time Transmit Diversity and BLAST according to instantaneous channel information. Computer simulations showed that the proposed system improves about 2 or 3 ㏈ SNR in low correlated channel and about 3 ㏈ SNR in highly correlated channel rather than a 2 by 2 antenna switching system.

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

Calculation of error probabilities for a coherent phase-shilft keyed communication system operating in a transionospheric scintillation channel is accomplished by means of the Gauss-quadrature integration formula. The channel model used, patterned after Rino's work, is slowly flat fading wherein the envelope of the received signal is modeled as the envelope of correlated Gaussian quadrature random processes. The error probability for the scintillation channel is calculated using actual ionospheric scintillation data for transmission in the UHF region(30-300MHz).

The average bit error rate (BER) performance of 2D-RAKE receiver, operating in a correlated Nakagami fading channel, is analyzed. The analysis assumes correlated fading between the array elements with identical fading parameters but with unbalanced average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). And independent but non-identically distributed frequency-selective fading channel with different fading parameters is assumed. The analyses show that fading correlation, delay profile, average SNR distribution, and fading parameters of combined branches affect the overall performance of 2D-RAKE receiver.

Seasonal and spatial distribution of vascular plants were examined and related to soil texture, pH, moisture and nutrient contents in the riparian zone of the Balan Stream. In spring the area was dominated by Alopecurus aequalis var. amurensis, was displaced by Persicaria thunbergii and Humulus japonicus in summer. From the stream channel to bank, soil texture and pH were not significantly differentiated, moisture decreased, organic matter and K increased, and TKN and available P increased in June and decreased in August. DCA ordination analysis by species distribution showed spatially and seasonally distinct patterns seasonal difference was evident on axis 1, and spatial difference according to the distance from stream channel was clear, too. Both axis 1 and axis 2 scores were significantly correlated with biomass, pH, and phosphate. Species richness increased were significantly correlated with biomass, pH, and phosphate. Species richness increaed with increasing organic matter and phosphate, and decreased with increasing soil moisture and K. Biomass increased with increasing organic matter, but was negatively related to pH, moisture, TKN, available P and K. Available P was significantly correlated with biomass, pH, and total soil nitrogen. In conclusion, the distribution of riparian vegetation was governed by soil physico-chemical properties, which are primarily determined by how far it is from the stream channel.

As the number of connected smart devices and applications increases explosively, the existing orthogonal multiple access (OMA) techniques have become insufficient to accommodate mobile traffic, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). Fortunately, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in the fifth generation (5G) mobile networks has been regarded as a promising solution, owing to increased spectral efficiency and massive connectivity. In this paper, we investigate the achievable data rate for non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with negatively-correlated information sources (CIS). For this, based on the linear transformation of independent random variables (RV), we derive the closed-form expressions for the achievable data rates of NOMA with negatively-CIS. Then it is shown that the achievable data rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA increases for the stronger channel user, whereas the achievable data rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA decreases for the weaker channel user, compared to that of the positively-CIS NOMA for the stronger or weaker channel users, respectively. We also show that the sum rate of the negatively-CIS NOMA is larger than that of the positively-CIS NOMA. As a result, the negatively-CIS could be more efficient than the positively-CIS, when we transmit CIS over 5G NOMA networks.

This paper will focus on improving the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in Rayleigh fading environments. The proposed technique will use a previously published method that has been shown to improve OFDM performance in independent fading, based on ordered sub-carrier selection. Then, a simple non-iterative method for finding the optimal bit-loading allocation was proposed. It was also based on ordered sub-carrier selection. We compared both of these algorithms to an optimal bit-loading solution to determine their effectiveness in a correlated fading environment. The correlated fading was simulated using the JTC channel models. Our intent was not to create an optimal solution, but to create a low complexity solution that can be used in a wireless environment in which the channel conditions change rapidly and that require a simple algorithm for fast bit loading.
