Suitable for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communications, the joint beamforming space-time block coding (JBSTBC) scheme is proposed for high-speed downlink transmission. The major functionality of the scheme entails space-time block encoder and joint transmit and receive eigen-beamformer (EBF) incorporating with block-ordered layered decoder (BOLD), and its operating principle is described in this paper. Within these functionalities, the joint EBFs will be utilized for decorrelating fading channels to cause an enhancement in the spatial diversity gain. Furthermore, to fortify the capability of layered successive interference cancellation (LSIC) in block-ordered layered decoding process, this paper will develop a simple ad-hoc transmit power discrimination scheme (TPDS) based on a particular power discrimination function (PDF). To confirm the superior behavior of the proposed JBSTBC scheme employing ad-hoc TPDS, computer simulations will be conducted under various channel conditions with the provision of detailed mathematical derivations for clarifying its functionality.

A transceiver employing layered modulation encodes two data layers with different levels of robustness and selectively decodes one or both of them regarding the reception conditions. Because of the inconsistency in encoding and decoding, conventional ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) can not be compatible. In this letter, we derive a dualistic OSIC architecture, which assigns distinct criteria for demodulation and interference cancellation (IC). The proposed system achieves a higher spectral efficiency while guaranteeing reliable communication.

In this paper, binary pulse-antipodal modulation (2PAM) direct-sequence (DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) system is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using vertical bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) structure to achieve high-data-rate communications over indoor wireless channels. The relationship between antenna dimension and BER performance of 2PAM DS UWB MIMO system is discussed. In the receiver of UWB-MIMO system, various MIMO detection algorithms such as zero-forcing (ZF), ZF-ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), MMSE-OSIC and maximum likelihood (ML) are comparatively studied.

본 논문은 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output)- OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 V-BLAST (Vertical-Ball Laboratories Layered Space Time) 수신기에 대하여 성능을 비교하고 평가한다. 신호는 각각 송신 안테나에서 독립적으로 전송되며 QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) 방식을 이용하여 변조 되고, 송 수신단에 각각 2개의 안테나와 각각 4개의 안테나를 사용한다. V-BLAST 수신기로 ZF(zero-Forcing), MMSE(Minimum Mean Squared Error), ZF-OSIC(Zero Forcing - Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation), MMSE-OSIC(Minimum Mean Squared Error - Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation)를 사용한다. 모의실험 결과에서 MMSE 방식이 ZF 방식 보다 좋은 BER(Bit Error Rate)을 보이고, ZF-OSIC 방식은 ZF 방식과 MMSE 방식 보다 더 좋은 BER을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있으며, MMSE-OSIC 방식은 사용된 방식 중 가장 좋은 성능을 보인다.

A dual-user multiplexing scheme for a pair of mobiles equipped with single antenna is proposed which incorporates time-delay diversity employing a rotation-based D-BLAST-like layered code. A low-dimension equivalent of the existing partial interference cancellation based group decoder is also proposed for the corresponding receiver. The BER performances of the proposed scheme and those of the ideal scheme are studied comparatively through Monte Carlo simulations.

In this paper, we consider coded layered space-time architecture in MIMO-OFDM channels. Vertical Bell Lab Layered Space-Time(V-BLAST) scheme employing ordered successive interference cancellation(OSIC) algorithm provides very high spectral efficiency with low computational complexity. However, the error propagation is a major drawback constraining the overall performance of the V-BLAST system significantly. Based on this problem, we derive an improved detector using soft bit log-likelihood ratio(LLR) value. Simulation results show that the proposed detector outperforms the conventional V-BLAST scheme under spatially uncorrelated as well as correlated fading channels.

In this paper, we provide a new detection scheme for a pilot symbol assisted interference nulling and cancellation operation to reduce unexpected effects owing to parallel transmission in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based spatial multiplexing systems. We have shown that the investigated OFDM vertical Bell laboratories layered space time (VBLAST) detection based on hybrid processing performs better than ordinary OFDM-VBLAST detections based on serial processing and parallel processing, respectively.

This this paper, we propose vertical Bell laboratories layered space time (V-BLAST) system based on variable rate Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes to improve performance of receiver when QR decomposition interference suppression combined with interference cancellation is used over independent Rayleigh fading channel. The different rate LDPC codes can be made by puncturing some rows of a given parity check matrix. This allows to implement a single encoder and decoder for different rate LDPC codes. The performance can be improved by assigning stronger LDPC codes in lower layer than upper layer because the poor SNR of first detected data streams makes error propagation. Keeping the same overall code rates, the V-BLAST system with different rate LDPC codes has the better performance (in terms of Bit Error Rate) than with constant rate LDPC code in fast fading channel.

Because of increasing complexity in maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of four of higher antenna scenario, Partial Interference Cancellation (PIC) group decoding could be the perfect solution to reduce the decoding complexity occurs in ML decoding. In this paper, we separate the symbols the users in the layered basis and find the equivalent channel matrix. Based on the equivalent channel matrix we provide the grouping scheme. In our paper, we construct a block wise transmission technique which will achieve the desired code rate and reduce the complexity and provide less transmission time. Finally we show the different grouping performance.
