In this paper, we propose the iterative receiver for LDPC-coded OFDMA systems in uplink environments. Applying the Wiener filtering to pilot symbols, an initial channel estimation can be performed effectively. To reduce the complexity of the Wiener filtering, we approximate Wiener filtering coefficients to pre-determined coefficients according to estimated correlation of channel. After an LDPC decoding process, soft symbol derived by extrinsic information of decoder outputs is used to estimate channel. we also derive the error variance of channel estimation and maximum ratio combined results. Using combined results, the channel correlation is re-estimated. Then the proper Wiener filtering coefficients are chosen according to the re-estimated result of the channel correction. Using a computer simulation, we show that the proposed receiver structure has the better performance than the receiver using only pilot symbols.

In this paper, the channel capacity of a specified wireless indoor multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) channel is estimated by analyzing spatial characteristics of this channel using the three-dimensional ray tracing method, and a technique for deriving an optimized separation of multi-antenna elements is proposed. At first, the ray paths, the path losses, and the time-delay profile are computed using the three-dimensional ray tracing method in an indoor corridor environment, which has the line of sight(LOS) and non-line of sight(NLOS) regions. The ray tracing method is verified by a comparison between the computation results and the measurements which are obtained with dipole antennas, an amplifier and a network analyzer. Then, an MIMO system is positioned in the indoor channel environment and the ray paths and path losses are computed for four antenna-position combinations and various values of the antenna separation to obtain the channel capacity for the MIMO system. An optimum antenna-separation is derived by averaging the channel capacities of 100 receiver positions with four different antenna combinations.

In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood signal detection scheme for a generalized spatial modulation system that activates only a subset of transmit antennas among multiple antennas and transmits information through the indexes of active antennas as well as through the transmit symbols. The proposed maximum likelihood receiver extracts a set of candidate solutions based on their a posteriori probabilities to lower the computational load of the robust receiver under channel information errors. Then, the chosen candidate solutions are exploited to estimate the covariance matrix of effective noise. Simulation results show that the proposed maximum likelihood detection scheme achieves better error performance than a receiver that does not take into account the channel information errors. It is also seen that it reduces the computational complexity with the same bit error rate performance as the conventional robust maximum likelihood receiver.

AT-DMB의 향상계층은 DQPSK 신호에 BPSK 또는 QPSK 신호를 더하여 변조하는 계층변조 방식을 사용하였기 때문에 수신기에서 채널 왜곡을 보상해야 신호의 복조가 가능하다. 다중 경로가 많은 지역에서는 주파수 선택적 페이딩이 발생하기 때문에 페이딩을 정확하게 추정하지 못하면 AT-DMB 향상계층 수신 성능이 저하되게 된다. 채널왜곡 추정을 위하여 AT-DMB 수신기에서는 채널추정 값을 스무딩하는 대역제한 필터를 사용한다. AT-DMB의 향상 계층 성능은 이 스무딩 필터의 대역폭에 따라 결정이 되며 적절한 필터 대역을 채널의 지연에 따라 설정해야 한다. 특히 SFN 환경에서는 수신 전력이 큰 둘 이상의 서로 다른 지연시간을 가지면서 수신이 되기 때문에 고정 대역폭 스무딩 필터를 사용한 채널왜곡 추정은 성능의 저하를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 채널 지연 값을 추정하고 필터의 대역폭을 가변적으로 결정하는 방법에 대하여 설명하고 실험 결과를 보여준다.

ATSC 지상파 DTV 방송은 8-VSB(Vestigial Sideband Modulation) 기반 단일 반송파 전송방식을 사용하기 때문에, 다중 경로에 의한 간섭에 취약한 단점이 있다. 다중경로에 의한 간섭은 DTV 수신기의 수신 성능을 열화시키기 때문에, 이러한 간섭을 효율적으로 등화하거나 또는 최소화되도록 방송망을 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 ATSC 지상파 DTV 방송 시스템에서 다중경로에 의한 간섭을 효율적으로 측정하는 방법을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하고자 한다.

In the fifth generation (5G) networks, the mobile services require much faster connections than in the fourth generation (4G) mobile networks. Recently, as one of the promising 5G technologies, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been drawing attention. In NOMA, the users share the frequency and time, so that the more users can be served simultaneously. NOMA has several superiorites over orthogonal multiple access (OMA) of long term evolution (LTE), such as higher system capacity and low transmission latency. In this paper, we investigate impact of channel estimation errors on successive interference cancellation (SIC) performance of NOMA. First, the closed-form expression of the bit-error rate (BER) with channel estimation errors is derived, And then the BER with channel estimation errors is compared to that with the perfect channel estimation. In addition, the signal-to-noise (SNR) loss due to channel estimation errors is analyzed.

Recently, many research initiatives have been underway to improve reception performance of ATSC based DTV signal in mobile channel by adopting multiple antennas. In this paper, we propose a new mobile channel model which can be applicable to any array geometry. And then we propose new channel estimation algorithm which uses PN5l1 sequence in field synch. The proposed algorithm is to estimate channel by correlating the input signal in If frequency band and finding maximum peak, which does not need complicated synchronization circuit. Finally, we propose new receiver structures which can be implemented at the front-end of the existing receiver with no modification. With computer simulation, we verify the performance of the proposed model and verify the performance of the receiver structure with computer simulation.

In this paper, a distributed beamforming problem is considered in an amplify-and-forward (AF) wireless relay network consist of multiple source-destination pairs and relaying nodes. To exploit degree of freedom of the number of beamformers, in the first step, we proposed that the sources transmit their signals through orthogonal channels. During the second step, the relays transmit their received signals multiplied by complex weights to amplify and compensate for phase changes introduced by the backward channels through one common channel. The optimal beamforming vectors are obtained through minimization of the total relay transmit power while the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) at the destinations are above certain thresholds to meet a quality of services (QoSs) level. In the numerical example, it is shown that the proposed scheme needs less transmit power for moderate network data rates than other schemes, such as space division multiplexing or time-division multiplexing scheme.
