In this paper, we analyze the delay performance for a Markovian source transported over a wireless channel with time-varying error characteristics. To improve the reliability of the channel, the end points of the wireless link implement a selective-repeat (SR) ARQ error control protocol. We provide an approximate discrete-time analysis of the end-to-end mean packet delay, which consists of transport and resequencing delays. Numerical results and simulations indicate that our approximate analysis is sufficiently accurate for a wide range of parameter values.

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

We can model marine uplink channel environment as time-correlated rician fading channel that has direct path and time varying reflected path. In this channel, error performance of uncoded system can be seriously degraded by multipath inteference. In this paper, we propose Concatenated Zigzag(CZZ) coded binary FSK signaling with noncoherent detection to improve error performance of uplink data in marine environment. CZZ code is a kind of channel coding scheme that is fast decodable as well as fast encodable. We have confirmed error performance of uplink data in marine environment can be improved dramatically through applying CZZ code.

Cognitive Radio is an advanced enabling technology for the efficient utilization of vacant spectrum due to its ability to sense the spectrum environment. It is important to determine accurate spectrum utilization of the primary system in a cognitive radio environment. In order to define the spectrum utilization state, many CR systems use what is known as the quiet period (QP) method. However, even when using a QP, interference can occur. This causes reduced system throughput and contrary to the basic condition of cognitive radio. In order to reduce the interference time, a frequency-hopping algorithm is proposed here. Additionally, to complement the loss of throughput in the FH, a HMM-based channel prediction algorithm and a channel allocation algorithm is proposed. Simulations were conducted while varying several parameters. The findings show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional channel allocation algorithms.

Recently, MIMO communications are regarded as one of the most promising emerging wireless technologies. This paper investigates MIMO wireless systems and their applications in a railway communication system. We firstly discuss railway communication environments including propagation characteristics and radio channel modeling. Next, we consider channel estimate methods, which is a crucial issue under rapidly varying channel condition due to the movement of trains. Channel estimation methods for MIMO systems are addressed and the effect of estimation error is studied. We also have performed simulations for transmit beamforming system and STBC(Space-time block coding) to investigate the performance of MIMO schemes in railway systems.

In OFDMA or SC-FDMA systems one can generate time varying channels or frequency selective channels using multiple transmit antennas to achieve diversity without special space-time processing at the receivers. While low channel coding rate needs to be used for distributed-allocation SC-FDMA systems with a phase rolling technique to produce time fluctuation, relatively high channel coding rate can be used when cyclic delay diversity is used to increase frequency selectivity assuming quasi-static channel. On the other hand, for block-hopping SC-FDMA systems there is no significant difference between two diversity techniques in terms of optimal channel coding rates.

In this paper, we propose a channel estimation method associated with the interpolation order for OFDM systems. We first analyze the time varying channel and frequency selective channels, and then derive the channel index which indicates the ratio of the time axis variation and the frequency axis variation. This index is used for determining the order of interpolation such as time axis followed by frequency axis interpolation or vice versa. The computer simulation over a DVB-T system shows that the proposed method can provide more accurate channel information, thereby improving the overall performance.

In this paper, we address the channel zapping time problem of video streaming services based on HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) on smart Over-The-Top Set-Top Boxes (OTT STBs). Experimental analysis of the channel zapping time, show that smart OTT STBs inevitably suffer from the accumulated zapping time through channel change request, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) leave/join, synchronization delay, video buffer delay, and STB processing delay when providing HLS services. As a practical solution for the zapping time reduction, an adaptive buffering method is proposed. The proposed method exploits two adaptive buffers added to the basic HLS player. These two adaptive buffers are responsible for constantly buffering previous and next channels relative to the current channel. Implementation and test results show that a stable zapping time less than one second can be achieved even under diverse video bitrate changes and varying network conditions by the proposed adaptive buffering method.

Due to the complexity of underwater acoustic channel, signal estimation in underwater acoustic communication field is considerably affected from time-varying multipath fading channels. On this reason, the original signals should have many long training signals to estimate the channel and the purposed signals, and the bit rate of signals having information may have small rate. In order to avoid this loss of efficiency in underwater communication, this paper employed a blind channel identification method which don't use training signals. Simulations have predicted performance of the employed method in multipath environment and an aquatic plant experiment has verified the simulation results.

In this paper, we investigate channel estimation techniques based on the comb-type pilot arrangement for a mobile MIMO OFDM system. Moreover, to enhance channel estimation, an efficient channel estimation technique is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimator is accurate and effective for tracking variations of channels between multiple transmit antennas and receive antennas in time-varying radio channels.
