In a frequency selective fading channel, Pre-Rake diversity technique provides simple receiver structure and sufficient diversity effect for mobile terminals. However, conventional Pre-Rake systems are more severely affected than Rake systems with regard to multiple access interference since the number of multipaths received at the mobile unit is nearly twice that of the Rake systems. In order to overcome the problem, a Pre-Rake TDD-CDMA system using zero correlation duration (ZCD) spreading code is proposed. Modified ZCD codes including guard interval (GI) is also proposed and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation under the condition of various channel environment.

OFDM technique uses multiple sub-carriers for the data transmission. Therefore, inter carrier interference is generated because of nonlinear high power amplifier and carrier frequency offset. Wireless OFDM transmission over Doppler fading channels also causes inter carrier interference. The interference increases the bit error rate in receiver. Sub-carrier allocation methods in LTE and WiMAX standards are different. The performance of OFDM systems using different sub-carrier allocation, gauged by the bit error rate, is analyzed considering the nonlinear high power amplifier, carrier frequency offset and Doppler fading channels.

전력선 통신 채널에는 특징적으로 충격 잡음이 존재하며, 전력선 통신 시스템의 성능 열화에도 많은 영향을 준다. 이는 일반적인 배경 잡음에 비해 많게는 수십 dB 이상의 레벨을 가지면서, 임의 시간적으로 발생함으로써 추정 및 제어 또한 어렵기 때문이며, 전력선 통신 시스템이 Mbps급으로 고속화 되면서 주파수 대역이 확장되고, 확장된 대역상에 다중 반송파를 이용하여 대용량의 데이터를 전송하는 변복조기법들이 적용됨에 따라, 시간 영역에서 비교적 짧은 시간 동안 존재하는 충격 잡음이 주파수 영역에서 사용 주파수 전체 대역상에 영향을 줌으로써 시스템 전체 성능 저하의 큰 요인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 충격 잡음이 고속 전력선 통신 시스템에서 사용되는 OFDM(또는 DMT) 방식 수신기의 복조기 출력단 SNR에 미치는 영향을 분석 및 단순화하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

In the conventional rake receiver structure for the IS-95 CDMA system, each finger has its own time-deskew buffer or FIFO that aligns the multipath signals to the same timing reference in order to combine symbols. This architecture is not a burden to the rake receiver design mainly because of the small number and size of the buffers. However, the number and size of the buffers are significantly increased in the cdma2000 system which adopts multiple carriers and the small spreading gain for a higher rate in data services. In order to decrease the number of buffers, we propose a new model of the time-deskew buffers, which combines the symbols as well as realigns them at the same time. Our architecture reduces the hardware complexity of the buffers by about more than 60% and 70% compared with the conventional one when we consider each rake receiver has three and four independent fingers, respectively. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is very useful not only to the cdma2000 rake receiver but also to the receiver with many fingers in order to increase the BER performance.

Since multipath phenomenon frequently occurs when a Global Positioning System receiver is placed in urban area crowded with large buildings, efficient mitigation of multipath effects is necessary to resolve. In this paper, we propose a new multipath detection technique that is useful in real-time positioning with a general Global Positioning System receiver. The proposed technique is based on a channelwise multipath test statistic that efficiently indicates the degree of fluctuations induced by multipath error. The proposed multipath test statistic is operationally advantageous because it does not require any specialized hardware nor any pre-computation of receiver position, it is directly related to standard $\chi$$^2$-distributions, and it can adjust the detection resolution by increasing the number of successive measurements. Simulation and experiment results verify the performance of the proposed multipath detection technique.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of UWB(Ultra-WideBand) communication system employing Bi-phase modulation and RAKE Receiver under the MAI(Multiple Access Interference) and the OSI(Other System Interference) environment. Using the multi-path channel model recommended by IEEE P802.15.TG3a, the performance degradation Is described with the number of users, the number of RAKE fingers and training sequences. To meet BER 10e-4 for 20 users at the same time, the number of RAKE fingers are proposed from 3 to 32. And the number of training sequences are limited less than 8 to keep the channel estimation error within 3dB

본 논문에서는 COFDM(Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 각 부채널이 갖는 신호대 잡음의 양을 수신단이 측정할 수 있는 특징을 이용하여 콘볼루셔널 디코더 메트릭 계산에 반영함으로서 콘볼루셔널 디코더의 성능이 향상될 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 OFDM 시스템에서 각 부채널이 갖는 신호대 잡음의 양은 부채널에서의 수신신호 전력에 비례함을 보인다. 또한, 콘볼루셔널 디코더의 메트릭 계산방법으로는 연판정 방법을 사용한다. 이때 부채널에서 수신된 신호의 신뢰도로 하여 신뢰도가 떨어지는 수신신호에 대하여는 메트릭 계산 과정에서 영향을 감쇄시키고 신뢰도가 높은 수신신호는 영향을 증대시키도록 한다. 제안된 방법을 경수로 20이고 직접파가 없는 다중경로채널에 적용하여 모의실험한 결과 coherent QPSK 매핑방법을 사용한 COFDM 시스템에서 10-4 BER을 기준으로 할 때 약 1.1dB의 SNR 성능향상을 얻었으며 16-QAM 매핑방법에서는 약 3.1dB 그리고 64-QAM 매핑방법을 사용한 경우 약 6.0dB의 성능향상을 얻었다.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of RAKE receiver for impulse radio-ultra wide band (IR-UWB) systems in indoor multipath radio channel. Pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) signal is considered. And we also consider three types of RAKE receivers, which are ideal RAKE, selective RAKE, and partial RAKE receivers. The indoor channel is modeled as the modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model which has been proposed as a UWB channel model by the IEEE group, IEEE 802.15.SG3a.
