The linear and decision-feedback equalization can mitigate time-varying intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by time-varying multipath propagation for underwater acoustic channels. The perfect elimination of interference components, however, is difficult using the linear equalization and the decision feedback equalizer has an error propagation problem. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper proposes an equalizer mode selection method using training sequences. The proposed method selects an equalization mode corresponding to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). If the SNR is low, the proposed system operates the linear equalizer for preventing the error propagation and if the SNR is high, the decision feedback equalizer for eliminating the residual ISI. Therefore, the proposed method can improve the error performance compared to the conventional equalizers. The computer simulation shows the proposed method improves the bit error performance using practical underwater channels responses acquired from the sea experiment.

본 논문에서는 DCS 1800 시스템에서 수신단의 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 새로운 연판정 출력 등화 기법과 등화기 구조를 제안한다. 먼저 최적 연판정 출력 알고리듬(OSA : Optimum Soft-output Algorithm)의 계산량을 크게 줄이면서도 준최적의 성능을 유지하는 간략화된 최대 사후 확률 검파 기법을 제안한다. 그리고 부정확한 채널 추정값을 보정 할 수 있는 채널 추정 방식을 사용하고, 적응 채널추정 기법과 효율적으로 결합시킬 수 있는 새로운 등화기 구조를 노말 버스트의 특징을 이용하여 설계한다. 성능의 실험은 JTC 채널 모델을 이용하여 이루어졌으며, 본 논문에서 제안한 간략화된 최대 사후 확률 검파 연판정 출력 등화 알고리듬은 적은 계산량에도 불구하고, 기존의 최적 OSA의 비슷한 성능을 유지한다. 또한, 경판정 출력 비터비 등화 알고리듬에 비해서는 3~7dB의 성능 이득을 가지며, 간략화된 연판정 출력 비터비 등화 기법에 비해서는 0.5~3dB까지의 성능 이득을 나타낸다. 또한 채널의 변화 속도가 빠른 경우, 제안된 양방향 등화 구조는 기존의 순방향만을 이용하는 등화 구조에 비하여 커다란 성능 이득을 가진다. 즉, 기존의 순방향만을 이 淪求\ulcorner등화 구조를 사용한 등화기는 오차 성능의 정체 현상을 나타내지만, 양방향 등화 구조를 사용한 등화기는 오차 성능의 정체 현상을 보이지 않음을 확인할 수 있다.

In a previous work, we proposed a novel approach of histogram equalization using a supplement set which is composed of centroids of Fuzzy C-Means of the background utterances. The performance of the proposed method is affected by the size of the supplement set, but it is difficult to find the best size at the point of recognition. In this paper, we propose a histogram equalization using a supplement set for majority voting based speaker identification. The proposed method identifies test utterances using a majority voting on the histogram equalization methods with various sizes of supplement sets. The proposed method is compared with the conventional feature normalization methods such as CMN(Cepstral Mean Normalization), MVN(Mean and Variance Normalization), and HEQ(Histogram Equalization) and the histogram equalization method using a supplement set.

An equalization technique for OFDM systems in tine variant fading environment is described. Time variant channels lead to interchannel interference which increases the bit mr rate. A frequency domain equalizer using pilot symbols is proposed. The equalizer decreases the interchannel interference affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is analyzed via computer simulation.

In this paper, the efficient equalization method for OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiflexing) System using the QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in multipath fading channel is proposed in order to faster and more efficiently equalize the received signals that are sent over real channel. In generally, the one-tap linear equalizers have been used in the frequency-domain as the existing equalization method for OFDM system. In this technique, if characteristics of the channel are changed fast, the one-tap linear equalizers cannot compensate for the distortion due to time variant multipath channels. Therefore, in this paper, we use one-tap non-linear equalizers instead of using one-tap linear equalizers in the frequency-domain, and also use the linear equalizer in the time-domain to compensate the rapid performance reduction at the low SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) that is the disadvantage of the non-linear equalizer. In the frequency-domain, when QAM signals, consisting of in-phase components and quadrature (out-phase) components, are sent over the complex channel, the only in-phase and quadrature components of signals distorted by the multipath fading are changed the same as signals distorted by the noise. So the cross components are canceled in the frequency-domain equalizer. The time-domain equalizer and the adaptive algorithm that has lower-error probability and fast convergence speed are applied to compensate for the error that is caused by canceling the cross components in the frequency-domain equalizer. In the time-domain, To compensate for the performance of frequency-domain equalizer the time-domain equalizes the distorted signals at a frame by using the Gold-code as a training sequence in the receiver after the Gold-codes are inserted into the guard signal in the transmitter. By using the proposed equalization method, we can achieve faster and more efficient equalization method that has the reduced computational complexity and improved performance.

In this paper, an equalization technique for OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in a time-variant multipath fading environment is described. A loss of subchannel orthogonality due to time-varying multipath fading channels leads to interchannel interference (ICI) which increases the error floor in proportion to Doppler frequency. A simple frequency-domain equalizer which can compensate the effect of ICI caused by time variation of multipath fading channel is proposed by modifying the previous frequency-domain equalization technique with taking into account only the ICI terms significantly affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via computer simulation by applying it to OFDM systems when the multipath fading channel is slowly time variant.

The multicarrier system is in the limelight for broadband wireless communications due to its spectral efficiency. Filtered multitone(FMT) system uses a filter that has several symbol periods duration. Using long-period filter causes a performance degradation because of intersymbol interference in multipath fading channels. In this paper, we propose a simple equalization method which can reduce the ISI due to the wireless channels. The proposed equalization method compensates the ISI by subtracting the estimated ISI components from the current symbol using one-tap equalizer. The performance of the proposed system is verified through theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed system can mitigate the effect of ISI significantly.
