This paper describes an implementation of radix-4 trellis parallel architecture and backward state transition control trace back Viterbi decoder, and presents the application results to high speed wireless LAN. The radix-4 parallelized architecture Vietrbi decoder can not only improve the throughput with simple structure, but also have small processing delay time and overhead circuit compared to M-step trellis architecture one. Based on these features, this paper addresses a novel Viterbi decoder which is composed of branch metric computation, architecture of ACS and trace back decoding by sequential control of backward state transition for the implementation of radix-4 trellis parallelized structure. With the proposed architecture, the decoding of variable code rate due to puncturing the base code can easily be implemented by the unified Viterbi decoder. Moreover, any additional circuit and/or peripheral control logic are not required in the proposed decoder architecture. The trace back decoding scheme with backward state transition control can carry out the sequential decoding according to ACS cycle clock without additional circuit for survivor memory control. In order to evaluate the usefulness, the proposed method is applied to channel CODEC of the IEEE 802.11a high speed wireless LAN, and HDL coding simulation results are presented.

This paper presents a way to maximize transmission efficiency and reception ability through transmission diversity technology, which can be adapted to wireless multimedia OFDM (orthogonal FDM) system. The presented method gives a comparative analysis between a case where parameter a for time average is 0.3, i with consideration of channel presumption and two types of rms delayed proliferation, which is 50nsec, 150nsec, for the performance analysis of STTC (Space-Time Trellis Code) using time-space code method which is appropriate for MIMO channel, and performance, in the case, where presumed channel value from long training column section is applied to the according frame in a single frame. The result shows that BER brought SNR improvement of 1.0dB in $10^{-3}$ when a was 0.3 than using only the long training column, and shows an increasement of general performance improvement when the time average factor is used.

The system combined layered space-time processing and space-time trellis codes (STTC) provide high transmission rate as well as diversity and coding gain without bandwidth expansion. In this paper, two layered receiver structures are proposed. One is the LSTT-MMSE in which received bit streams are decoupled by interference nulling and then decoded by separate STTC decoders. The decoded outputs are cancelled from the received signal before advancing to the next layer detection. The other is LSTT-Whitening employing whitening rather than nulling. The receiver employing whitening process shows several advantages on diversity gain and the required number of receive antennas compare to the convolutional coded space-time processing. The proposed receivers use different decoding order scheme according to each interference suwression. The (4, 3) LSTT-Whitening receiver still achieves 1㏈ gain over the (4, 4) LSTT-MMSE and the (4, 4) coded layered space-time processing.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to detect the signal and evaluate performance of the system in frequency selective fading channel. We combine proposed system with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) to improve performance of the system. First, we study the SOSTTC-OFDM system using two transmit antenna and one receive antenna, and compare performance of the proposed space-time coded OFDM with that of previous system. We expand this system to the system using four transmit antennas with the proposed decoding method. Simulation results show that the proposed decoding method can detect the signal efficiently, and we identify that the performance of the proposed system is shown with varying doppler frequency in frequency selective fading channel.

In this paper we explain a trellis representation of block codes and derive their MAP decoding algorithm based on it. We also analyze the performance of block codes and concatenated codes with block codes as components by computer simulations, which were performed by changing the structures and constituent codes of concatenated codes. Computer simulations show that soft decision decoding of block codes get an extra coding gain than their hard decision decoding and that concatenated codes using block codes have good performance in the case of high code rate.

This paper presents a way to maximize transmission efficiency and reception ability through transmission diversity technology, which can be adapted to wireless multimedia OFDM system. The presented method is a comparative analysis between a case where parameter ${\alpha}$ for time average is 0.3, 1 with consideration of channel presumption with two types of rms delayed spread, which is 50nsec, 150nsec, for the performance analysis of STTC(Space-Time Trellis Code) using time-space ciphering method appropriate for MIMO channel, and performance in the case where presumed channel value from long training column section is applied to according frame in a single frame. The result showed that BER brought SNR improvement of 1.0 dB in $10^{-3}$ when ${\alpha}$ was 0.3 than using only the long training column, and showed increase of general performance improvement for the sake of time average rather than the case without.

The next-generation wireless communication requires fast transmission speeds with various services and high reliability. In order to satisfy these needs we study MIMO system used layered space time coded system (LST) combining space time trellis codes (STTC) with turbo codes. In LST, two codes that are inner and outer codes are concatenated in the serial fashion. The inner codes are turbo Pi codes suggested in DVB-RCS NG system, and outer codes are STTC codes proposed by Blum. The interleaver technique is used to efficiently combine two codes. And we proposed and simulated that a full iteration method between turbo decoder and BCJR decoder to improve the performance instead of only processing inner-iteration turbo decoder. The simulation results of proposed effective layered method show improving BER performance about 1.3~1.5dB than conventional one.

In this paper, we propose a concatenated diversity system to assure the data transmission reliability between flight type air nodes which move according to their atypical orbit, then its performance is analyzed using computer simulation and it is designed with hdl. The proposed system cannot only improve a bandwidth efficient and coding gain from diversity TCM code but also the reliability of data transmission is high. From the computer simulation result about bit error rate(BER) of the proposed system, we confirm that its BER performance is about 11dB greater than TCM code at $10^{-2}$ and about 11dB greater than space time block code at $10^{-3}$ which has a full diversity gain. In addition, when we compare its BER performance with space time trellis code which has both a diversity gain and a coding gain, the performance of the proposed system is greater than about 1.5dB at $10^{-5}$. Lastly, after designing the proposed system with HDL, we can confirm that the operation result is correct.
