In this paper, a weighted block adaptive channel estimation (WBA-CE) for a space-time block-coded (STBC) single-carrier transmission with a cyclic-prefix is proposed. In operation of the WBA-CE, a STBC matrix-wise block for filter input symbols is first formulated. Applying a weighted a posteriori error vector-based least-square (LS) criterion for this block, the coefficient correction terms of the WBA-CE are then computed. An approximate steady-state excess mean-square error (EMSE) of the WBA-CE for the stationary optimal coefficient is also analyzed. Simulation results show in a time-varying typical urban (TU) channel that the proposed channel estimator provides better bit-error-rate (BER) performances than conventional algorithms such as the NLMS and RLS channel estimators.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of pilot symbol assisted channel estimation and equalization schemes for OFDM systems over frequency-selective time-varying channels and propose methods to improve the system performance. In the least square(LS) and linear minimum mean square error(MMSE) channel estimation, time domain windowing is introduced for banding the frequency domain channel matrix. The linear MMSE and decision feedback equalization schemes are employed with the pilot symbols for channel estimation taken into account in the equalization process. To reduce computational complexity, the band LU matrix factorization algorithm is introduced in solving the linear systems involved in the equalization, and the performances are compared with the known previous results by computer simulations. When time domain windowing is employed in the decision feedback equalization, the matrix related with the decision feedback process is shown to be unhanded and the resultant performance degradation is analyzed.

I evaluate the BER performance of OFDM systems in frequency selective Doppler time variant fading channels, considering the pilot patterns for channel estimation. The performance of the systems is degraded due to channel estimation error. For the reduction of performance degradation in acceptable level, the optimum distance of pilot symbols in pilot pattern is 5 subcarriers in frequency domain and 6 OFDM block in time domain.

In this paper, we have implemented a performance analysis of $2{\times}1$ Alamouti scheme suggested by Alamouti, composed of the transmit space-time code and the simple linear decoding processing, in perfectly time-varying and spatially correlated channels. In addition, we derived the closed-form probability density function (PDF) of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the outage probability of the Alamouti scheme as a function of the spatial correlation coefficient in the consideration of no correlation in time. As a result, it was found that the performance of the Alamouti scheme could be significantly degraded particularly in the case that the channels are time-varying and spatially correlated.

본 논문에서는 빠르게 변화하는 이동 무선 채널 환경에서 심각한 성능 저하를 일으키는 인접 심볼 간섭(Inter-symbol interference: ISI)에 대처하기 위해 MLSE(Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimztion) 등화기의 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 MLSE 등화기는 비터비 알고리즘으로 어느 정도 계산량을 감소시켰지만, 정확한 채널 임펄스 응답을 필요로 하기 때문에, 시변 채널에서의 복잡한 채널 추정이 그 문제점으로 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 간단하고 향상된 칼만 필터 기반의 채널 추정기를 새롭게 제안하여 MLSE의 복잡성을 줄였다. 또한, 복잡한 채널 추정을 대신하여 페이딩 채널을 거쳐 수신된 데이터를 클러스터로 매핑하여 클러스터 중심 추정을 이용한 1-D CBSE(1-Dimensional Clustering-based Sequence Equalizer) 알고리즘에, 최소 길이를 지닌 훈련 시퀀스를 제안하여 개선된 1-D CBSE을 이용한 MLSE 등화 성능을 보여주었다.

In this paper, we investigate channel estimation techniques based on the comb-type pilot arrangement for a mobile MIMO OFDM system. Moreover, to enhance channel estimation, an efficient channel estimation technique is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimator is accurate and effective for tracking variations of channels between multiple transmit antennas and receive antennas in time-varying radio channels.

In this paper we propose a coordinated beamforming(CBF) scheme considering the effects of feedback quantization and delay in time-varying multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) broadcast channels. By equal power allocation per data stream, the proposed CBF scheme transmits multiple data streams per user terminals without additional feedback overhead when quantized feedback information is used. The proposed CBF scheme also applies a linear channel predictor to each user terminals to prevent errors due to feedback delays that are not evitable in practical wireless systems. Each user terminal utilizes Wiener filter to predict future channel responses and generates feedback information based on the predicted channels. Consequently the proposed CBF scheme adapting Wiener filter improves system performances compared with the conventional scheme using delayed feedback.

현재 IEEE 802.11p 규격은 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격을 기반으로 하여 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격은 무선랜 (WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network) 규격으로서 고속으로 이동하는 차량 통신환경 즉 WAVE (Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 환경에 그대로 작용할 경우 수신 성능이 급격히 떨어지게 되 는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 긴 훈련 심볼 (LTS: Long Training Sequence)을 이용하는 기존의 채널 추정 기법을 기반으로 하되 WAVE 채널처럼 빠르게 변화하는 채널에 대응하기 위해 일정한 심볼 주기 마다 미드엠블 (Mid-Amble)을 삽입하는 전송구조를 제안한다. 또한, 미드엠블 사이의 심볼들의 위상과 크기를 3차원 스플라인 보간법을 적용하여 추정하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능실험을 위해 WAVE 채널을 모델링하였으며 이러한 채널에서 성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 빠른 시변 채널에서도 매우 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

The transmitter requires knowledge of the channel status information in order to adopt the adaptive modulation and coding scheme(AMC) for OFDM system. But in the outdoor environment which the users have high mobility, the channel status information from the users is outdated, so that it induces the degradation of system throughput and packet error rate(PER) performance. To solve this problem, researches about applying channel prediction technique to the AMC scheme have been proceeded. Most channel prediction techniques assume that there is no channel variation in the predefined time duration, e.g., a slot. As a result, those techniques cannot compensate the degradation of PER performance resulting from the rapid variation of channel during the slot duration. This paper introduces a novel channel prediction technique for OFDM/FDD system to support adaptive modulation and coding scheme over rapidly time-varying multipath fading channel. The proposed channel prediction technique considers the time-varying nature of channel during the slot duration. Simulation results show that the AMC scheme of OFDM/FDD system utilizing the proposed channel prediction technique can guarantee the target PER of 1% without any loss of system throughput compared with the case supported by the conventional channel prediction under ITU-R Veh A 30km/h.
