In this paper, we introduce a modulation code design problem where best selection of two-dimensional codewords are determined to reduce two-dimensional (2D) intersymbol interference (ISI) and interpage interference (IPI). Codeword selection problem is formulated as a quadratic integer programming model that minimizes intra- and inter-symbol differences subject to uniform symbol usage and minimal Hamming distance violations. Second integer programming model detects the occurrence of isolated pixel pattern in the selected codewords. The proposed models are applied to 4-level and 2-level 6/8 codes.

In this paper, a channel estimation technique based on pilot tones, which does not degrade channel estimation performance even with the existence of symbol timing offset (STO) in OFDM systems, is proposed. The proposed technique performs channel estimation by interpolating channels with respect to amplitude and phase with a minimum computational complexity, differently from the conventional interpolation techniques. The proposed technique requires neither the estimation of fine STO in advance nor trigonometric operation for phase interpolation, signifying a significant reduction in computational complexity. Since the performance of the proposed technique does not depend on the STO present in OFDM systems. It can be directly applied to the following areas in OFDM-based communication system: elimination of fine STO estimation step in the synchronization procedure, elimination of STO estimation step in multiuser uplink, and channel estimation in multi-hop relay system. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed technique can improve the performance of channel estimation significantly in the presence of STOs, compared with previous channel estimation techniques based on pilot tones.

Because it is easy to implement the scalar quantizer, it is used in various video coding systems. Although the scalar quantizer with a large quantization stepsize can reduce the amount of data, it has disadvantage that the reconstructed picture quality is poor. In this paper, we propose an efficient method which improves the coding performance by maintaining original quantization stepsize and increasing the number of quantization reconstruction levels. Simultaneously, for the purpose of solving the problem of transmitting the added symbol informations which is used to indicate the region of quantizer reconstruction level as the number of quantizer reconstruction level is increased, we also suggest the method to reduce the added informations. Therefore, for the intra-coded picture of H.264 video coding system, we generate the huffman codes for the symbol informations of quantization reconstruction regions by 4${\times}$4(horizontal 4 pixels, vertical pixels) block unit. Furthermore, for the inter-coded picture, we also generate the huffman codes for the symbol informations of quantization reconstruction regions by 8${\times}$8 blocks and 4${\times}$4 blocks within a macroblock. Adopting this method of reducing the added information by increasing the number of quantization reconstruction region, It is shown that the coding performance can be improved at the same bitrate.

본 논문에서는 부채널 상관 특성을 이용하여 상관도가 가장 낮은 두 개의 부채널로 정보를 전송함으로써 OFDM 시스템에서 주파수 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 간단한 심볼 부호화 과정을 통해 상관도가 가장 낮은 두 부채널로 특정한 위상차를 갖는 심볼을 전송하며, 수신단에서는 두 부채널을 통해 수신된 심볼의 위상차를 검출, 조합함으로써 주파수 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 기법은 부호화 및 복호화 과정이 간단하기 때문에 시스템의 복잡도와 성능면에서 우수하며, 또한 기존의 다중 안테나 신호처리 기술과 결합시킴으로써 송신 및 수신 다이버시티 기법의 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 제안된 기법의 검증을 위해 채널 변화가 느린 레일리 페이딩 환경 하에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 기존의 OFDM 및 2개의 수신 안테나를 가지는 OFDM 시스템과 성능을 비교, 분석하였다.

데이터 트래픽의 폭발적인 증가에 대응하기 위해 5G 이동통신에서는 주어진 주파수 대역 내에서 최대한 많은 정보를 전송할 수 있는 주파수 사용 효율 극대화를 목표로 한다. 이러한 목표를 달성하기 위한 방법 중 하나로 심볼 간 직교성을 만족시킬 수 있는 속도인 나이퀴스트율보다 더 빠르게 정보 심볼을 전송하는 FTN(Faster-Than-Nyquist) 전송기법이 대두되고 있다. FTN 전송기법에 따르면 나이퀴스트율 이상의 심볼 전송속도에 의해 생기는 ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference)를 효율적으로 극복하는 코딩 및 등화 방법에 의해 채널 용량을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본고에서는 FTN 전송기법의 기본 원리 및 전송이득을 소개하고, 현재 진행되고 있는 FTN 전송기술 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

To demodulate the received OFDM signal, symbol timing detection which finds symbol start in the received sample stream is required in the system initialization. In this paper, we analyze the effect of symbol timing offset and propose a new symbol timing detection algorithm, which is using the guard interval. The proposed algorithm requires low computational process and small memory size, and dose not be affected by frequency offset and phase offset. In addition, We apply this algorithm to European digital TV broadcasting model based on OFDM to evaluate the performance in AWGN and multipath fading channel by the computer simulation.

In this letter, we propose an efficient automatic modulation recognition (AMR) method which classifies digitally modulated signals by estimating the bandwidth. In AMR, feature-based methods are widely used and the accuracy of the features is highly dependent on the number of symbols and the number of samples per symbol (NSPS). In this letter, at first, we coarsely estimate the bandwidth of the oversampled signals, and then decrease the sample rate to yield adequate NSPS. As a result, more symbols are used for AMR and the correct classification rate becomes high under the same number of samples.

In this paper, the technique for obtaining diversity gain without increasing the antenna is proposed using symbol share in the OFDM systems. Proposed technique groups symbols which are mapped into different sub-carriers and these symbols are modulated by proposed constellation. Proposed constellation has the identical minimum distance with QPSK modulation constellation and obtain more frequency diversity gain. Also, proposed modulation scheme make it possible to increase data rate using subcarriers allocated symbols.

본 논문은 Shannon의 정리에 따른 채널 용량에 근접한 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려진 터보 복호기 기반의 반복적인 검출과 복호화(Iterative Detection and Decoding) 기법에서 반복적인 복호화를 수행할 시에 제외되었던 리스트 구 복호기(List Sphere Decoder)에서 사전 정보(prior information)을 이용할 수 있도록 하여 수정된 IDD 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 기법에서는 사후확률(A posteriori probability)을 계산하기 위하여 리스트 구 복호기를 사용하였으나 반복적인 복호화 수행 시에는 사전 정보를 이용하지 않는 특성으로 인하여 제외된다. 만약 잡음(noise) 등의 이유로 검출된 심볼 벡터 목록이 원래의 것과 매우 다른 경우라도 재 검출을 하지 않기 때문에 반복적인 복호화를 수행하더라도 원래의 정보에 근접하기 어렵게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 기법에서 리스트 구 복호기를 터보 복호기의 Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) 값을 사전 정보로 이용할 수 있도록 수정된 리스트 구 복호기를 제안하였다. 수정된 리스트 복호기는 반복적인 복호화를 수행 시 이전의 복호화에서 얻은 정보를 이용하여 새로이 검출된 심볼 벡터 목록을 제공하게 된다. 실제의 통신환경과 유사한 모델의 실험을 통해 수정된 IDD 기법이 기존의 IDD로 구성되는 내부 피드백에 RS 복호기 기반의 외부 피드백으로 구성된 형태로 피드백 회수가 증가할수록 기존의 IDD에 비해 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, timing synchronization in uplink is accomplished by an initial uplink synchronization called an initial ranging process. The Base Station's receiver synchronizes the symbol timing to specific user's symbol and the other user's symbols have some Symbol Timing Offset (STO). Linear phase shift is occurred by each user's STO in an OFDMA symbol. The Multiple Access Interference (MAI) caused by the summation of each user's linear phase shift degrades the performance of ranging code detection. In this paper, we propose an initial ranging symbol structure with common ranging code for phase shift estimation and compensation. We car estimate the average of phase shift that is generated by each user's STO and compensate this phase shift by using common ranging code. This scheme will suppress the MAI and provide better detection performance than conventional process.
