In this paper, a receive diversity combining technique is proposed for single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)-based cooperative relay systems when discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading sizes for mobile station (MS) and relay station (RS) are different. The proposed technique is composed of a DFT spreading size adjustment block, a phase rotation compensation block, a channel phase compensation block, and a receive diversity combining block. The proposed technique is robust to multipath channels and can be operated with a relatively small computational complexity because receive diversity combining is performed with scalar operations in the frequency-domain. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed receive diversity combining techniques achieve a performance gain over the conventional maximal ratio combining (MRC) techniques for SC-FDMA-based cooperative relay systems.

IMT-2000 지상 시스템에서는 순방향 링크의 용량을 증대하기 위하여 다중 전송 안테나를 이용하는 다양한 전송 다이버시티 기법들이 연구되고 있으며, 3GPP를 위한 표준 가운데 하나인 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티 기법은 단말기에서 순방향 채널의 상태에 따라 전송 안테나의 가중치를 결정하여 궤환함으로써 여타의 기법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보인다. 하지만 지상 시스템과는 달리 IMT-2000 위성 시스템에서는 현재 전송 다이버시티에 대한 표준이 없는 상황이며 이에 대한 연구 역시 미진하다. 본 논문에서는 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티를 IMT-2000 위성 시스템에 적용한 결과를 제시한다. IMT-2000 위성 채널 모델에 대한 모의 실험 결과 2개 안테나를 이용하는 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티를 통해 단일 안테나 혹은 2개 안테나 전송 신호의 단순한 다이버시티 결합에 비해 월등한 성능 향상이 가능함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, two receive diversity combining techniques are proposed for single-carrier Sequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)-based cooperative relay systems when DFT spreading sizes for mobile station (MS) and relay station (RS) are different. A simplified-MRC (5-MRC) technique performs diversity combining in the time domain using the estimated channel weight and initial values obtained by SC-FDMA signal detection. An interference rejection-MRC (IR-MRC) technique performs diversity combining in the frequency domain by adjusting DFT spreading size in the receiver. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed receive diversity combining techniques achieve a significant performance gain over the conventional MRC technique with zero forcing (ZF) detector.

The deployment of high capacity backhaul is required due to explosive growth in mobile data services. For rapid backhaul deployment, point to point microwave is a much easier and cheaper technology. The space diversity scheme is used in point to point microwave links. The purpose of space diversity is to overcome fading by combining signals from two separate receiver antennas. For signal combining algorithm, maximum power and minimum distortion methods were used and these algorithms were reported not to be good enough for robustness in selective fading. In this paper, a more practically efficient signal combining scheme from the main and diversity branch is proposed and evaluated in selective fading channel. The proposed algorithm has shown significant performance improvement in terms of signal spectrum.

Two-way relaying scheme based on relay selection can not only achieve higher rate but also get the selection diversity gain according to the number of relays. However the scheme can not achieve combining gain because it does not consider the direct link between users. In this paper, we propose, with multiple relays, opportunistic cooperative two-way relaying scheme and incremental cooperative two-way relaying scheme which can achieve both selection diversity gain and combining gain. Simulation results show that proposed scheme outperform the conventional scheme by achieving both combining gain and selection diversity gain according to the number of relays.

Underwater communication performance is degraded by the influence of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) due to multipath. Passive time reversal processing is the most effective technique for mitigating multipath, and the diversity combining method can be used to improve its performance. This paper analyzed communication performance using the beam diversity combining method, which combines signals obtained through the beam steering to various angles. Directions of arrival were estimated through the beam-time migration, which, in turn, was estimated from probe signals received by a vertical line array. The performance was analyzed based on the number and type of combinations among the estimated angles. In this paper, the data obtained from the Biomimetic Long range Acoustic Communications 2018 (BLAC18) experiment, which was conducted in the East sea, ~50 km east of Pohang, in October 2018, were used for the analysis. The output Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) was used as communication indicators.

본 논문에서는 부채널 상관 특성을 이용하여 상관도가 가장 낮은 두 개의 부채널로 정보를 전송함으로써 OFDM 시스템에서 주파수 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 간단한 심볼 부호화 과정을 통해 상관도가 가장 낮은 두 부채널로 특정한 위상차를 갖는 심볼을 전송하며, 수신단에서는 두 부채널을 통해 수신된 심볼의 위상차를 검출, 조합함으로써 주파수 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 기법은 부호화 및 복호화 과정이 간단하기 때문에 시스템의 복잡도와 성능면에서 우수하며, 또한 기존의 다중 안테나 신호처리 기술과 결합시킴으로써 송신 및 수신 다이버시티 기법의 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 검증을 위해 채널 변화가 느린 레일리 페이딩 환경 하에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 OFDM 및 2개의 수신 안테나를 가지는 OFDM 시스템과 성능을 비교, 분석하였다.

The diversity techniques can benefit underwater acoustic communications when the distance between sensors is sufficiently apart, and this leads to the increases in the physical size of the communication system: thus it is very hard to practically use such systems in real-environments. Therefore, in this paper, we have collected data from real underwater cannel environments in order to analyze the usability of diversity combined with beamforming techniques. And we have estimated the fading characteristics from the measurement data, and analyzed the correlation coefficients using the estimated fading characteristics. After analyzing the estimated fading characteristics from the measurements data, we found out that by applying diversity techniques on the output signals from beamformers that perform beamforming from different multipath directions, we can reduce the distance between sensors and at the same time benefit from the diversity gain.

In this paper, we combine AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) multiplexing to improve the throughput performance of AMC in Next Generation Communication Mobile Systems. In addition, we propose a system that adopts STD (Selection Transmit Diversity) in the combined system. The received SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is improved by adopting STD techniques and an improved SNR increases a probability of selecting MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level that supports higher data rate. The computer simulation is performed in flat Rayleigh fading channel. The results show that higher throughput is achieved by AMC-TD schemes. AMC-STTD scheme shows about 250kbps increase in throughput. And AMC-STD with 2 transmit antennas achieves about 420 kbps throughput improvement over the conventional AMC at 9dB SNR.
