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 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.

본 논문에서는 고속전송을 위해 넓은 대역폭을 사용하는 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiflex)시스템에서 심각한 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경에서도 강한 특성을 갖는 FE(Frequency Estimation) 채널 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 시간적으로 천천히 변화하는 채널에서 주로 사용하는 채널추정기법은 상관도가 높은 심볼간 데이터를 이용하는 DDCE(Decision Directed Channel Estimation)기법이 있다. DDCE는 주파수 비선택적인 환경에서는 높은 이득을 보이지만 시스템 대역폭이 증가함에 따라 심각한 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경이 되어 데이터의 신뢰도가 떨어지면 에러 플로우 현상이 일어나게 된다. 제안한 방법인 FE 기법은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 채널에서 OFDM의 부반송파간의 상관관계를 이용하여 목표 주파수에서의 채널 추정감을 인접 부반송파의 채널 추정값들의 평균으로 적응시켜주어 이득을 얻는다. FE 기법은 DDCE처럼 데이터를 이용하지 않고 프리엠블만을 이용하기 때문에 데이터의 신뢰도와 관계된 전송율과 다중 경로 수에 독립적이다 본 논문에서 제안한 FE 기법은 DDCE의 에러 플로우가 발생한 넓은 대역폭을 가진 시스템에서도 이득을 얻을 수 있어 심각한 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경에서 유용하다.

Most existing space-time coding (STC) schemes have been developed for flat fading channels. To obtain antenna diversity gain, they rely on channel state information (CSI) required at the receiver through channel estimation techniques. This paper proposes a new decision feedback decoding scheme for Alamouti-based space-time block coding (STBC) transmission over time-selective fading channels. In wireless channels, time-selective fading effects arise mainly due to Doppler shift and carrier frequency offset, Modelling the time-selective fading channels as the first-order Gauss-Markov processes, we use recursive algorithms such as Kalman filtering, LMS and RLS algorithms for channel tracking. The proposed scheme consists of the symbol decoding stage and channel tracking algorithms. Computer simulations confirm that the proposed scheme shows the better performance and robustness to time-selectivity.

본 논문에서는 파일럿 심벌을 이용하여 플랫 페이딩 채널에서 페이딩 정보를 예측하여 보상하는 방식인 PSAM(Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation) 방식에 대해 주파수 선택적 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널에서 지연파의 영향을 받는 경우 발생하는 문제점 등을 분석하고 이를 개선하기 위하여 고차 PS(Pilot Symbol) QAM 채널보상 방식을 제안한다. 기존의 PSAM 방식은 지연파의 지연강도가 조금만 영향을 미치더라도 SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio)에 상관없이 심각한 성능저하를 보이지만 제안된 방식은 지연파의 지연강도에 영향을 받지만 안정적인 성능개선을 보인다.

In order to transmit various types of multimedia data (i.e. voice, video, and data) over a wireless channel, the coding and modulation scheme needs to be flexible and capable of providing a variable quality of service, data rates, and latency. In this paper, we study a mobile multimedia COMA network combined with the concatenated Reed-Solomon/Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution code (RS/RCPC). Also, this paper propose the combination of concatenated RS/RCPC coder and COMA RAKE receiver for multimedia COMA traffic which can be sent over wireless channels. From the results, using a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel model, it is shown that concatenated RS/RCPC coder at the wireless physical layer can be effective in providing reliable wireless multimedia CDMA network. And the proposed scheme that combine concatenated RS/RCPC coder and CDMA RAKE receiver provides a significant gain in the BER performance over multi-user interference and multipath frequency selective fading channels.

High-capacity, high quality services should be guaranteed in mobile communication environment. Excellent channel coding and compensation techniques are required so as to improve data reliability on fading channels. In this paper, we propose a method using double pilots, estimates and compensates for the fading of information symbols. The proposed method using Log-MAP Turbo decoder through the iterative decoder, improves BER performance under the environment of the frequency selective fading channel. Compared to the existing methods, the suggested methods show functional improvement of approximately 3dB in case that the number of iteration decoding is 5 and BER is $10^{-4}$.

In this paper, we investigate design criteria and the performance of the space-frequency bit-interleaved coded modulation (SF-BICM) systems in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. To determine the key parameters that affect the performance of SF-BICM, we derive the pairwise error probability (PEP) in terms of the determinant of the matrix corresponding to any two codewords. We prove that the bit-interleavers do the function of distributing the nonzero bits uniformly such that two or more nonzero bits are seldom distributed into the symbols that are transmitted in the same frequency bin. This implies that the bit-interleavers transform an SF-BICM system into an equivalent 1-antenna system. Based on this, we present design criteria of SFBICM systems that maximizes the diversity order and the coding gain. Then, we analyze the performance of SF-BICM for the case of 2-transmit antennas and 2-multipaths by deriving a frame error rate (FER) bound. The derived bound is accurate and requires only the distance spectrum of the constituent codes of SF-BICM. Numerical results reveal that the bound is tight enough to estimate the performance of SF-BICM very accurately.
