In the wide variety of radio propagation channel models, frequency selective fading which from multipath waves and diversity noises, electric and electronic devices ...etc in our environment, change characteristics of the sub channels in the wide bandwidth. so orthogonality among the OFDM subcarriers would be distorted and ICI(Inter Channel Interference), ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) be generated. This paper investigate BER characteristics of the OFDM System using Subband Grouping Method which adopted different channel modulation for each subband.

The underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is characterized by doubly spread channel. It is included in the time-variant doppler shift and delay-time spreads due to multiple paths. To compensate such distorted signals, various techniques including time-reversal processing, spatial diversity, phase estimator, and equalizer are being applied. In this paper, a spatial filter based on the beamforming is proposed as a method to mitigate such inter-symbol interferences that are generated in time-varying multipath channels. The proposed technique realizes coherent communications by steering the direction of the desired signals and improves the performance of UAC by increasing the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio using the array gain.

본 논문에서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템에서 OFDM 심벌 타이밍 옵셋에 따른 4096QAM 의 uncoded-BER(Bit Error Rate) 및 성상도를 측정하였다. uncoded-BER 은 수신기의 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 복호기 이전에서 측정된 BER 을 의미한다. 측정을 위해, OFDM 을 사용하는 DVB-C2(Digital Video Broadcasting for Cable Systems 2) 송수신기를 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)를 이용하여 구현하였으며, OFDM 심벌의 CP(Cyclic Prefix)를 이용하여 OFDM 심벌 동기를 수행하였다. 일반적으로, OFDM 심벌 동기는 OFDM 심벌에서 CP 가 반복된다는 특성을 이용한 상관기를 사용한다. 또한, ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) 및 ICI(Inter Channel Interference)를 최소화하기 위해, 채널의 최대 지연시간을 고려하여 CP 내에서 OFDM 심벌 동기가 획득된다. 이럴 경우 수신기에서는 각 부반송파에 할당된 QAM 심벌들의 위상 회전이 발생하지만, 등화기에서 이러한 위상 회전이 보상된다. 부반송파에 할당된 파일롯 심벌들을 이용하여 채널 추정 및 보상을 하는 등화기에서, 파일롯 심볼들도 OFDM 심벌 타이밍 옵셋에 의해 위상회전이 발생하기 때문에 채널 추정 값에 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 4096QAM 과 ZF-LE(Zero Forcing Linear Equalizer)를 사용한 경우, OFDM 심벌 타이밍 옵셋에 따른 uncoded-BER 및 성상도의 측정 결과를 제시하였다.

Recently, the communication between LED array and camera, called Visual-MIMO, is under active research and we expect the maximization of application to the vehicle as well as smart-phone. In this paper, we improve the BER performance of Visual-MIMO system by using the brightness information of a received image. We also suggest the error correction method to minimize the error due to Inter-Symbol-Interference. The performance analysis according to the noise and distance variation will verify the validity of our proposed method including results through simulation and hardware experiment.

Spatial Multiplexing techniques, which is a kind of Multiple antenna techniques, provide high data transmission rate by transmitting independent data at different transmit antenna with the same spectral resource. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is applied to MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) system to combat ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) and frequency selective fading channel, which degrade MIMO system performance. But, orthogonality between subcarriers of OFDM can't be guaranteed under high-mobility condition. As a result, severe performance degradation due to ICI is induced. In this paper, both ICI and CAI (Co-Antenna Interference) which occurs due to correlation between multiple antennas, and performance degradation due to both ICI and CAI are analyzed. In addition to the proposed CIR (Channel Impulse Response) estimation method for avoiding loss in data transmission rate, HIC (Hybrid Interference Cancellation) approach for guaranteeing QoS of MIMO-OFDM receiver is proposed. We observe the results on analytical performance degradation due to both ICI & CAI are coincide with the simulation results and performance improvement due to HIC are also verified by simulation under SCM-E Sub-urban Macro MIMO channel.

In this paper, we propose an efficient concatenated code for both random and ISI errors on diffusion-based molecular communication channels. The proposed concatenated code was constructed by combining the ISI-mitigating code designed for ISI mitigation and the ISI-Hamming code strong against random errors, and the BER(bit error rate) performance was analyzed through simulation. In the case of the above M=1,200 channel environment, it was found that the error rate performance of the concatenated code follows the error rate performance of the ISI-mitigating code, which is strong against ISI, and follows the error rate performance of the ISI-Hamming code, which is strong against random errors, in the channel environment below M=600. In M=600~1,200, the concatenated code shows the best error rate performance among those of three codes, which is analyzed because it can correct both random errors and errors caused by ISI. In the following cases of below M=800, it can be seen that the error rate of the concatenated code and the ISI-mitigating code shows an error rate difference of about 1.0×10^-1 on average.

Underwater acoustic wave in shallow water is propagated through multipath that has a large delay spread causing Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and these characteristics deteriorate the performance in the communication system. In order to analyze the communication performance and investigate the correlation with multipath delay spread in a reverberant environment, an underwater acoustic communication experiment using Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) signals with symbol rates from 100 sym/s to 8000 sym/s was conducted in a 5 × 5 × 5 m³ water tank. The acoustic channels in a well-controlled tank environment had the characteristics of dense multipath delay spread due to multiple reflections from the interfaces and walls within the tank and showed the maximum excess delay of 40 ms or less, and the Root Mean Squared (RMS) delay spread of 8 ms or less. In this paper, the performances of Bit Error Rate (BER) and output Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) were analyzed using four types of communication demodulation techniques. And the parameter, Symbol interval to Delay spread Ratio in reverberant environment (SDR_rev), which is the ratio of symbol interval to RMS delay spread in the reverberant environment is defined. Finally, the SDR_rev was compared to the BER and the output SNR. The results present the reference symbol rate in which high communication performance can be guaranteed.

Energy spreading transform (EST) based modulation is an effective technique to combat frequency-selective fading in broadband wireless communication. It performs close to the inter-symbol interference (ISI)-free matched filter bound (MFB) only at the complexity of a linear detector. Originally, EST-based modulation has been proposed for QPSK. However, to fully utilize the capacity of multipath fading channels, higher-order modulations are also necessary. In this paper, we review the EST based modulation that has originally been proposed for QPSK and discuss its extension to 8 PSK and 16 QAM. The performance of the extended system is verified through simulation in Proakis B and 8-tap fading channel. The EST based modulation for 8 PSK shows the performance which is very close to MFB and the EST based modulation for 16 QAM shows the performance gap between its receiver and MFB.

A correct and accurate model of optical data storage systems is very important in development and performance evaluation of various data detection algorithms. In this paper, we present an nonlinear modeling scheme of a super-resolution near-field structure (Super-RENS) read-out signal using the canonical piecewise-linear (PWL) and the second-order Volterra models. Nonlinear equalizers may be developed on the basis of the information obtained from this nonlinear modeling. To mitigate the nonlinear inter-symbol interference (ISI), we proposed a new nonlinear equalizer for Super-RENS discs. Its validity is tested with the RF signal samples obtained from a Super-RENS disc. The experiment results verified the possibility that the canonical PWL and the second-older Volterra models can be utilized for nonlinear modeling of Super-RENS systems. The proposed equalizers are superior to the one without equalization in terms of bit error rate (BER).

The performance of underwater communication system is influenced on channel characteristic. Delay spread cause by reverberation and multi-path happen the ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and reduces the communication performance. In this paper, we analyze the performance of acoustic communication experiment in underwater to use the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique for overcome the reverberation and multi-path. As a result, we acquired the BER of modulation techniques. The BER of 2kbps data rate is $1.22{\times}10^{-1}$ and BER of 4 kbps data rate is $2.47{\times}10^{-2}$.
