In this paper, we propose a robust detection scheme of OSTBCs with channel estimation errors over time-selective fading channels. Channel estimation errors are inevitable over time-selective fading channels and even small channel estimation errors dramatically degrade the performance of space-time block coding schemes. Therefore, it is desired to investigate the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of the proposed detection scheme compared with the existing detection scheme. The proposed detection scheme minimizes noise enhancement and impact of channel estimation errors which occur in an existing detection scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detection scheme performs better than the existing detection scheme over time-selective fading channels.

주파수 비선택적 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널에서 준 최적 빔 형성과 페이딩 상관이 폐루프 송신 안테나 다이버시티(CTD) 시스템에 주는 영향을 분석하였다. 이동국에서 채널을 완벽하게 예측하는 것은 빠르게 변하는 채널의 페이딩으로 매우 어렵기 때문에 각각의 송신 안테나에 불완전한 가중치를 곱하게 된다. 이 불완전한 가중치는 준 최적의 빔을 형성하게 되고, CTD 시스템의 성능을 저하시킨다. 무선 채널의 페이딩 상관 역시 다이버시티 이득을 감소시키는 하나의 요소이다. CTD 시스템의 비트오율을 채널 예측 에러, 채널 상관계수, 궤환지연, 그리고 페이딩 지수의 함수로 해석적으로 유도하였다. 해석 결과 채널 예측에러가 채널상관보다 시스템성능에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A Bayesian estimation of the Nakagami-m fading parameter is developed. Bayesian estimation is performed by Gibbs sampling, including adaptive rejection sampling. A Monte Carlo study shows that the Bayesian estimators proposed outperform any other estimators reported elsewhere in the sense of bias, variance, and root mean squared error.

This paper prolposes a VFM (Variable Fading Memory)Kalman filtering and applies it to the parameter estimation for time-varying signals. By adaptively calculating the fading memory, the proposed algorithm does not require any predetermined fading memory when estimating the time-varying signal parameter. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has faster convergence speed than fixed fading memory one in case the signal contains an impulsive outlier. The performance of parameter estimation for time-varying signal is evaluated by computer simulation for two cases, one of which is the chirp signal whose frequency varies linearly with time and the other is the chip signal with an impulsive outlier. The experimental results show that the VFM Kalman filtering estimates the parameter of the chirp signal more rapidly than the fixed fading memory one in the region of an outlier.

본 논문에서는 다중경로 페이딩 (multipath fading) 채널 환경에서 직교 주파수 분할 다중 (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing: OFDM) 시스템을 위한 개선된 다중단계 (mu1ti-stage) 타이밍 옵셋 (timing offset) 추정기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 기존의 다중단계 타이밍 옵셋 추정기법이 랜덤한 다중경로 채널 성분에 민감하다는 점을 개선하기 위해 상호 상관함수 샘플 표준편차를 이용한다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 기법이 기존 기법에 비해 우수한 정추정확률과 (correct estimation probability) 평균제곱오차 (mean square error: MSE) 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient channel delay estimation method for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, especially over doubly-selective fading channels which are selective in both the symbol time domain and subcarrier frequency domain. For the doubly-selective fading channels in single frequency network (SFN), long and strong echoes exist and thus the conventional discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) based channel delay estimation system often fails to produce the exact channel delay profile. Based on the analysis of the discrete-time frequency response of the channel impulse response (CIR) coefficients in the DFT-based channel delay estimation system, we develop a method to effectively extract the true CIR from the aliased signals by employing a simple narrow-band low-pass filter (NB-LPF). The performance of the proposed system is verified using the COST207 TU6 SFN channel model.

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.

The paper investigates a novel detector receiver with Kalman channel information estimator and iterative channel response equalization for MIMO (multi-input multi-output) OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) communication systems in fast multipath fading environments. The performances of the existing linear equalizers (LE) are not good enough over most fast fading multipath channels. The existing adaptive equalizer with decision feedback structure (ADFE) can improve the performance of LE. But error-propagation effect seriously degrades the system performance of the ADFE, especially when operated in fast multipath fading environments. By considering the Kalman channel impulse response estimation for the fast fading multipath channels based on CE-BEM (complex exponential basis expansion) model, the paper proposes the iterative receiver with soft decision feedback equalization (SDFE) structure in the fast multipath fading environments. The proposed SDFE detector receiver combats the error-propagation effect for fast multipath fading channels and outperform the existing LE and ADFE. We demonstrate several simulations to confirm the ability of the proposed iterative receiver over the existing receivers.

We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

Estimation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an important problem in wireless communication systems. It has been studied for various constellation types and channels using different estimation techniques. Maximum likelihood estimation is a technique which provides efficient and in most cases unbiased estimators. In this paper, we have applied maximum likelihood estimation for systems employing square or cross QAM signals which are undergoing slow flat Rayleigh fading. The problem has been considered under various scenarios like data-aided (DA), non-data-aided (NDA) and partially data-aided (PDA) and the performance of each type of estimator has been evaluated and compared. It has been observed that the performance of DA estimator is best due to usage of pilot symbols, with the drawback of greater bandwidth consumption. However, this can be catered for by using partially data-aided estimators whose performance is better than NDA systems with some extra bandwidth requirement.
