시변 페이딩 채널환경에서 DS-CDMA 다중 사용자 환경의 이동통신 시스템에서 채널의 효율을 높이기 위해 학습 신호열을 사용하지 않는 새로운 블라인드 등화 기법을 제안한다. 블라인드 등화 기법 중에서 가장 성능이 좋은 CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)는 가변하는 페이딩 채널환경에서 채널등화에 효과적이지 못하다. 따라서 Kalman 필터와 CMA를 결합한 새로운 등화 기법은 자승 오차와 Eye-Pattern의 성능 비교를 통해 기존의 방법 보다 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, the multi-stage radius-directed algorithm is applied to fractionally spaced equalizers which are insensitive to the sampling timing-phase. these equalizers exhibit good convergence characeristics when compared to fractionally spaced blind equalizers using conventional blind algorithms. Also, multi-model fractionally spaced blind equalizers, which use multiple symbol spaced blind equalizers that operate independently, converge faster than conventional fractionally spaced blind equalizers.

In this paper, proposed is the dual-mode algorithm of blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for digital terrestrial television signals. According to channel impairments, the proposed dual-mode algorithm for blind DFE operates in decision-directed mode or in blind mode of operation. The error signals being used in tap update of the equalizer are generated in the best mode of operations, so that the confidence of equalizer tap coefficient update is more accurate. As a result, it is possible to track the channel characteristics variations by automatic switching over between two modes of operations. For 8-level vestigial sideband modulated digital television signals, the mean square errors and symbol error rates of the proposed algorithm are compared with those of conventional methods. And the usability of the proposed scheme is assessed by computer simulations under various static and dynamic multipath channel environments.

Blind equalization techniques have been widely used in wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate the information potentials in the criterion of minimizing Euclidian distance between two PDFs criterion for adaptive blind equalizers and evaluate BER performance of the method that has utilized an appropriate balance between the two information potentials, one from output samples and ramdomly generated desired samples at the receiver and another from the interactions among output samples. The balanced information potential method has shown in the BER performance results that it can produce significantly enhanced BER performance in blind equalization applications.

The CMA and MCMA adaptive blind equalization algorithm has an inevitable error caused by mismatching between the original constellation at the steady state after the equalization and the unique constellation. This problem is due to considering the new type constellation(constant modulus, reduced constellation) as desired constellation. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive blind equalization algorithm which can reach to the steady state with rapid convergence speed and achive the improvement of error value in the steady state. The Proposed algorithm has a new error function using the decided original constellation instead of the reduced constellation. By computer simulation, it is comfirmed that the proposed algorithm has the performance superiority in terms of residual ISI and convergence speed compared with the adaptive blind equalization algorithm of CMA family, Constant Modulus Algorithm with Carrier Phase Recovery and Modified CMA(MCMA).

기존의 블라인드 등화(blind equalization) 알고리즘의 step-size는 임의의 값을 알고리즘에 적용하여 수렴속도와 정상 상태의 특성을 고려하여 최적한 step-size를 결정하였다. step-size를 크게 하면 수렴속도는 빠른 반면에 정상 상태에서 에러가 크고, step-size를 작게 하면 수렴속도는 느린 반면에 정상 상태에서 에러가 작아진다. 그렇기 때문에 수렴속도와 정상 상태를 고려해서 step-size를 결정해야 되고, 특별하게 정해지는 기준이 없기 때문에 연구자의 판단에 의해서 다르게 선택된다. 본 논문에서는 등화기 출력의 잔류 심벌간 간섭에 따라 step-size를 가변함으로서 수렴속도 및 정상 상태 성능을 개선한 가변 step-size를 갖는 블라인드 등화 알고리즘을 제안한다.

The criterionmaximizing cross-correntropy (MCC) of two different random variables has yielded superior performance comparing to mean squared error criterion. In this paper we present a complex-valued blind equalizer algorithm for QAM and complex channel environments based on cross-correntropy criterion which uses, as two variables, equalizer output PDF and Parzen PDF estimate of a self-generated symbol set. Simulation results show significantly enhanced performance of symbol-point concentration with no phase rotation in complex-channel communication.

차세대 이동통신 시스템은 고속의 멀티미디어 데이터의 신뢰성 있는 전송을 요구하고 다양한 전파환경에서 신뢰성 있는 음성, 데이터, 영상서비스 등의 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 하지만 광대역 무선 접속을 지원하는 다중 접속 기술은 DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 시스템 성능을 저하시키는 심벌간 간섭(ISI) 혹은 다중접속간섭(MAI) 신호를 발생시킨다. 이러한 간섭 신호를 개선하기 위해 적응 블라인드 등화 방식을 사용하는데 적응 블라인드 등화 방식 중에서도 가장 많이 이용하는 Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA)을 적절한 초기화 없이 사용하면 ill-convergence 현상이 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 채널의 효율을 높이기 위한 등화 방식으로 기존의 NCMA 알고리듬을 이용한 새로운 블라인드 등화 방식(Modified NCMA)을 제안하고, 이를 비동기 DS-CDMA 시스템의 다중 사용자 환경에서 컴퓨터 모의 실험 및 성능분석을 하였다. 제안한 등화 방식의 자승오차(SE : Squared Error)의 개선은 spreading gain 31과 127에 대해 cell 내의 사용자가 10명일 때 약 17dB 정도이고, 사용자가 15, 25명으로 증가시킴에 따라 자승오차의 개선은 각각 20dB, 15dB 정도로 전체 평균 자승오차는 약 17.3dB 정도로 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper we propose a blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE) that is characterized by the fact that it does not require channel estimation. Because the output of the optimized multistep prediction error filter (PEF) can be represented as a product of the channel partial impulse response and the transmitted sequence, a backward multistep PEF can be used as the blind DFE feedforward filter (FFF). The corresponding feedback filter (FBF) is obtained from the symbol -rate partial channel impulse response. The proposed algorithm has several advantages over existing blind channel estimation techniques, including stable performance without the necessity of exact channel order estimation.

This paper introduces nonlinear estimators with reduced complexity, and proposes the Bussgang blind equalization algorithm employing the nonlinear estimators. The proposed algorithm utilized the facts that the Bayesian estimator is well approximated to the sigmoid estimator in initial stage of equalization with closed eye and is well approximated to the threshold estimator under open eye condition. The proposed method adopts selectively one of the two nonlinear estimators, i.e., the sigmoid estimator and the threshold estimator, according to channel distortion level at each iteration. As a result, by using the sigmoid estimator with reduced constellation, the proposed scheme, as it is applied to blind equalization of high-order QAM signals, simplifies the computational complexity extremely, and enhances the blind convergence capability and steady-state performance.
