Cooperative diversity is a technique with which a virtual multiple antenna array is established among the single antenna users of the wireless network to realize space diversity. Signal space diversity (SSD) is a bandwidth-efficient diversity technique, which uses constellation rotation and interleaving techniques to achieve diversity gain. A new cooperative diversity scheme with rotated constellations (RCCD) is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, data are modulated by using a rotated constellation, and the source and the relays transmit different components of the modulated symbols. Since any one of the components contains full information of the symbols, the destination can obtain multiple signals conveying the same information from different users. In this way, space diversity is achieved. The RCCD scheme inherits the advantage of SSD - being bandwidth-efficient but without the delay problem of SSD brought by interleaving. The symbol error rate of the RCCD scheme is analyzed and simulated. The analysis and simulation results show that the RCCD scheme can achieve full diversity order of two when the inter-user channel is good enough, and, with the same bandwidth efficiency, has a better performance than amplify-and-forward and detect-and-forward methods.

We introduce a rotated square QAM constellation with low peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) for coordinate interleaved orthogonal design (CIOD). The proposed signal constellation has much lower PAPR than the ordinary square QAM constellations for CIOD while it keeps almost the same coordinate product distance (CPD).

We present a family of constant-amplitude constellations of even dimensions 8 and above. These constellations allow trellis coded modulation to be implemented without the usual penalty paid for constellation expansion. The new constellations are generated by concatenating either n QPSK points or n QPSK points rotated by 45 degrees, for any n $\geq$ 4. Our constellations double the number of points available for transmission without decreasing the distance between points and without increasing the average or peak energies, introducing asymmetry, or increasing the modulation level. Effective gains of 2.65 dB with minimum complexity through 6.42 dB with moderate complexity are demonstrated using the 8D constellation.

In this paper, the performance of bit interleaved of coded and modulation(BICM) module of the second generation of digital terrestrial television broadcasting system(DVB-T2) is evaluated with the help of computer simulation. The frame error rate performance is studied in AWGN, Rayleigh fading and 15% erasure channels. In addition, iterative receiver is considered that exchanges extrinsic information between the rotated demapper and the LDPC decoder. Through the simulation it is observed that under the flat fading Rayleigh channel, about 1.2dB gain at FER of $10^{-4}$ is introduced when rotated constellation and iterative demapping and decoding are employed. Under the 15% earasure channel, rotated constellation gives performance gain of about 5dB at BER of $10^{-4}$ and when IDD is applied, additional performance gain of about 3dB can be achieved.

In this paper, we propose a spatial modulation (SM) scheme referred to as complex quadrature SM (CQSM). In contrast to quadrature SM (QSM), CQSM transmits two complex signal constellation symbols on the real and quadrature spatial dimensions at each channel use, increasing the spectral efficiency. To achieve that, signal symbols transmitted at any given time instant are drawn from two different modulation sets. The first modulation set is any of the conventional QAM/PSK alphabets, while the second is a rotated version of it. The optimal rotation angle is obtained through simulations for several modulation schemes and analytically proven for the case of QPSK, where both results coincide. Simulation results showed that CQSM outperformed QSM and generalized SM by approximately 5 dB and 4.5 dB, respectively, for the same transmission rate. Its performance was similar to that of QSM; however, it achieved higher transmission rates. It was additionally shown numerically and analytically that CQSM outperformed QSM for a relatively large number of transmit antennas.

본 논문에서는 높은 전송량을 요구하는 차세대 UHDTV(ultra-high definition television) 방송시스템을 위하여 MIMO(multi-input multi-output) 전송 기법을 고려하였다. 이러한 MIMO 전송 기법 중에서 가장 좋은 수신 성능을 나타내며, 송신 안테나 개수에 비례하여 전송량이 증가하는 LDC 전송 기법과 수신 성능 향상을 위하여 회전성상 및 심벌의 지연을 이용하는 기법을 고려하였다. 연속적인 에러가 발생하는 채널환경에서 수신 성능을 향상시키기 위해서는 신호를 분산시켜 전송하거나 신호를 섞어서 보내는 방법이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 이러한 두 가지 기법을 동시에 고려하여 높은 전송량을 달성하면서 수신 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 회전성상이 적용된 LDC MIMO 전송 기법을 제안하고 수신 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 MIMO(multi-input multi-output)-OFDM(Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) 시스템에서 정확한 채널 추정을 위하여 CAZAC 시퀀스를 LDC(linear dispersion code)로 부호화하여 전송하는 시스템을 제안한다. MIMO 시스템의 성능은 채널 추정 성능에 크게 영향을 받는다. 또한 MIMO 시스템은 송수신 안테나 개수에 따라 채널의 개수가 증가하므로 서로 다른 송신 안테나에서 전송된 훈련열을 수신기에서 정확히 분리해야 한다. 그러므로 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에서 훈련열로 사용되어질 CAZAC 시퀀스를 LDC로 부호화하여 수신 채널간의 간섭을 제거하는 방법을 제시하고 그 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교분석하였다.

Quadrature spatial modulation (QSM) utilizes the in-phase and quadrature spatial dimensions to transmit the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of a single signal symbol. Improved QSM (IQSM) builds upon QSM to increase the spectral efficiency by transmitting the real and imaginary parts of two signal symbols using antenna combinations of size of two. In this paper, we propose a double QSM (DQSM) scheme that transmits the real and imaginary parts of two signal symbols independently through any of the transmit antennas. The two signal symbols are drawn from two different constellations of the same size with the first symbol drawn from any of the conventional modulation sets while the second is drawn from an optimally rotated version of the first constellation. The optimum rotation angle is obtained through extensive Monte Carlo simulations to minimize the bit error rate (BER) of the system. Simulation results show that for a given spectral efficiency, DQSM performsrelatively close to IQSM while requiring a smaller number of transmit antennas, and outperformsIQSM by up to 2 dB when the same number of antennas are used.

In this paper, we propose a novel equalizer to compensate for the group delay including AM/PM nonlinear distortion characteristics by the nonlinear power amplifier (PA). The group delay characteristic is a nonlinear non-constant time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component. The phase distortion by AM/PM characteristics arising from the power amplifier is a major factor to increase group delay. By the group delay distortion, the signal in the constellation expands and is rotated. Considering the problem mentioned above, the nonlinear time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component is classified as a static group delay and AM/PM characteristic of PA, the different phase transitions depending on the size of input signal as a dynamic group delay. Static group delay estimates and compensate for phase distortions in the frequency domain with type-based method and dynamic group delay compensates for phase rotation in the time domain. We confirmed that the group delay compensation techniques were enough to compensate the group delay characteristics including AM/PM characteristics of the power amplifier.
