This paper presents a polyphase filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PF-OFDM) technique. The proposed structure uses a modified discrete Fourier transform (MDFT) transmultiplexer to achieve greater spectral efficiency than an OFDM system, while preserving backward compatibility with it. The prototype PF-OFDM filter has excellent time and frequency localization properties, which matte it possible to eliminate a guard interval (or cyclic prefix) and easily suppress interchannel interference (ICI). This modulation technique uses a single DFT structure, in contrast to a MDFT transmultiplexer, which requires two DFT polyphase filter banks. The PF-OFDM modulation is .justified over multipath Rayleigh fading channels.

In this paper, we propose a simple algorithm to adaptively adjust the value of dupthresh, the duplicate acknowledgement threshold that triggers the transmission control protocol (TCP) fast retransmission algorithm, to improve the TCP performance in a network environment with persistent packet reordering. Our algorithm uses an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and the mean deviation of the lengths of the reordering events reported by a TCP receiver with the duplicate selective acknowledgement (DSACK) extension to estimate the value of dupthresh. We also apply an adaptive upper bound on dupthresh to avoid the retransmission timeout events. In addition, our algorithm includes a mechanism to exponentially reduce dupthresh when the retransmission timer expires. With these mechanisms, our algorithm is capable of converging to and staying at a near-optimal interval of dupthresh. The simulation results show that our algorithm improves the protocol performance significantly with minimal overheads, achieving a greater throughput and fewer false fast retransmissions.

In this paper, we describe a 1/4 rate robust modulation algorithm for Enhanced-xVSB system which is fully backward compatible with ATSC 8-VSB standard. Laboratory test results of proposed Enhanced-xVSB 1/4 rate mode is shown a significantly improved reception performance under multipath as well as AWGN channel. We suggest an Enhanced-xVSB terrestrial broadcasting system for in-band Pedestrian/Portable TV broadcasting service.

수중에서는 매질과 채널의 특성으로 인해 가능한 최대 데이터 전송 속도는 지상통신에서의 데이터 전송 속도에 비해 매우 낮으며, 이를 어떻게 극복하느냐가 매우 중요하다. 특히 천해(shallow water)에서 다중경로(Multipath)로 인한 지연 확산은 심볼 사이의 ISI(Inter Symbol Interference)를 유발시켜 수중 통신 시스템의 성능을 더욱 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 수중 음향 채널에서 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식을 이용한 통신 시스템을 다룬다. 다중경로로 인한 심한 심볼간 간섭을 받는 수중 채널에서 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 OFDM 방식의 통신 시스템의 성능을 평가하였으며, 이를 위해 수중 채널 모델을 이용해 영상 데이타 전송 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

It is well known that the OFDM transmission is weak against the frequency offset. We evaluate the BER performance of the OFDM system with guard interval and simple one-tap equalizer bank. For the small frequency offset, the loss in $E_{b}$ $N_{o}$ is about 1㏈ at required BER = 10$^{-5}$ , when the mean value of the second-ray's attenuation coefficient is 0.25 and the normalized frequency offset, which is normalized about OFDM symbol time, is 5%.%.%.

In many medical image devices, dc noise often prevents normal diagnosis. In wireless capsule endoscopy systems, multipath fading through indoor wireless links induces inter-symbol interference (ISI) and indoor electric devices generate impulsive noise in the received signal. Moreover, dc noise, ISI, and impulsive noise are also found in optical fiber communication that can be used in remote medical diagnosis. In this paper, a blind signal processing method based on the biased probability density functions of constant modulus error that is robust to those problems that can cause error propagation in decision feedback (DF) methods is presented. Based on this property of robustness to error propagation, a DF version of the method is proposed. In the simulation for the impulse response of optical fiber channels having slowly varying dc noise and impulsive noise, the proposed DF method yields a performance enhancement of approximately 10 dB in mean squared error over its linear counterpart.

The third generation mobile communications system requiring the reliable multimedia data transmission has provided with the reliable voice, data and video services over the variable propagation environment. However the broadband wireless multiple access technologies cause Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) or Multiple Access Interference (MAI) to degrade the performance of W-CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system. Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) which is frequently used as the adaptive blind equalizers to remove the interfering signal has ill-convergence phenomenon without proper initialization. In this paper, new blind equalization method based on conventional CMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency, and through computer simulation this is tested over the time varying fading environment of mobile communication system. Consequently, new blind equalization method into concatenated Kalman filter with CMA is verified better than conventional CMA through adopting minimum mean square errors and eye-pattern obtained from algorithm are compared.

Multipath diversity reception is applied to the compensation of the distortion of channel, which occurs in transmission of data at rapid speed. DS/BPSK systems are composed of the equipment with reception structure combined with a compensation algorithm to diversity branch. The efficiency of the system is evaluated from the point of view of average bit error rate according to SNR. In order to remove intersymbol interference, this algorithm is applied to time-invariant channel at every diversity branch with the number of L. As a result, the average bit error rate is saturated by $10^{-2}$ at the conventional compensation algorithm.

We examine the DS/SSMA system which is employing coherent BPSK with RAKE receiver. We adop Nakagami m-distribution as a multipath fading model. First, we analyze the performances of the system in the single cell environment and obtain the other-cell interference according to power control error. And considering the other-cell interference into the analysis of single cell system, we examine the cellular CDMA network. The average BER and outage probability are the figures of merit that characterize the system performance. The required BER, 1E-3, and required outage probability are the figures of merit that characterize the system performance. The requeired BER, 1E-3, and required outage probability, 1% for the voice transmission is considered to acquire the capacity of system.

Digital microwave transmission systems are equipped with equalizer against fading during multipath fading. In this paper, we proposed variable reference tap position equalizer that varies the reference tap according to fading type to archive better performance. We got the performance improvement about 4~5 dB in MP condition and 2~3 dB in NMP condition from simulation results.
