In this paper, we analyze and compare several co-channel interference mitigation algorithms for WBAN application in 2.4 GHz ISM frequency bands. ML (Maximum Likelihood), OC (Optimal Combining) and MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) has been considered for the possible techniques for interference cancellation in view of the trade off between the performance and the complexity of implementation. Based on the channel model of IEEE 802.15.6 standard, simulation results show that ML and OC attains the lower BER performance than that of MMSE if we assume the perfect channel estimation. But, ML and OC have the additional requirement of implementation for his own and other users's channel estimation process, hence, besides the BER performance, the complexity of implementation and the sensitivity to channel estimation error should be considered since it requires the simple and small sized equipment for WBAN system application. In addition, the gap of detection BER performance between ML, OC and MMSE is much decreased under the imperfect channel estimation if we adopt real channel estimation process, therefore, in order to apply to WBAN system, the trade off between the BER performance and complexity of implemetation should be seriously considered to decide the best co-channel interference cancellation for WBAN system application.

For long-term evolution (LTE) MIMO transmission, codebooks are used to utilize the estimated channel information under the limited feedeback environment, and related study has been actively performed. Existing codebooks include codevectos constructed based on vector quantization (VQ) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT), and the LTE standard specifies codebooks modified from these examples to support up to 8 transmit antennas. As the number of antennas increases and as the spatial channel model is used as a standard environment to evaluate the LTE transmission performance, new beamforming methods as well as codebook designs are needed. In this paper, we implement the 3-dimensional spatial channel model (3D-SCM) to analyze the key statistical characteristics of the generated channel, and present efficient ways of determining corresponding codebooks. In particular, we propose a nonuniform-phase DFT-based codebook to improve the existing uniform-phase DFT-based codebook, and evaluate its performance under the given SCM transmission environment. There exists a strong tendancy in statistical distributions of the phase difference between adjacent antenna elements for the SCM, which can be appropriately exploited in codebook design to produce a performance gain over the existing design.

In this paper, we propose the heuristic signal grouping algorithm to estimate channel state value over full blind communication situation which means that there is no information about the modulation scheme and the channel state information between the transmitter and the receiver. Hereafter, using the constellation rotation method and the probability density function(pdf) the modulation scheme is determined to perform automatic modulation classification(AMC). Furthermore, the modulation type and a channel state value estimation capability is evaluated by comparing the proposed scheme with other conventional techniques from the simulation results in terms of the symbol error rate(SER) and the root mean square error (RMSE).

Parametric stereo(PS) audio coding is a specific version of spatial audio coding. In this paper, the problem due to the conventional synthesis of phase differences. In the conventional upmix matrix, phase differences are synthesized not only on downmix signal but also ambient signal, which violates the assumption that the ambient signals are anti-phased. Deterioration due to the phase synthesis is analyzed, especially, for low interchannel correlation. To solve this problem, new upmix matrix is proposed, which synthesizes phase differences only on downmix signal. The performance of the proposed upmix matrix is verified by the subjective listening tests.

A typical standard of vehicular ad hoc networks, WAVE which consists of IEEE 1609.x Family standards and IEEE 802.11p standard, includes the multi-channel coordination and channel synchronization function to provide safety services or public services during a car is driven. Generally, the performance of data communication and networking technologies is evaluated by using simulation tools, such as ns-2, OPNET, OPNET++, etc. However, these tools doesn't provide the operations of WAVE protocol. Therefore, in this paper, we implement and verify WAVE simulation program based on ns-2.

In this paper, The existing interference alignment algorithms were analyzed in Rayleigh fading channel environment. The interference alignment techniques are divided to two parts. First thing is Iterative-method, another is Linear-method. Iterative method needs local channel info, but it has the constraint of iteration. On the other hand Linear-method must have global channel info, but has free of iteration and better performance. This paper evaluates the performance of interference alignment algorithms in Rayleigh fading channel of outdoor environment and WLAN channel based on IEEE 802.11n of indoor environment.

In this paper, performance of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) which is OFDM with a forward error correction code, is studied in frequency selective fading underwater acoustic communication channel. The OFDM is a multiplexing technique resistant to frequency selective multipath channel. In OFDM, a broadband information signal is transformed into several narrow band signals and transmits narrow band signals whose bandwidths are less than the channel coherence bandwidth. However, its performance is degraded in a specific narrow band signal due to its deep fading by multipath. To mitigate this degradation, COFDM which is OFDM with convolution code as a forward error correction code, is evaluated. The performance of COFDM is found to be better than that of OFDM in multipath channel.

In this paper, the performance of HIPERLAN(HIgh PErformance Radio Local Area Networks) CAC(Channel Access Control) of ETSI(European Telecommunication StandaTds Institute) in Europe, as High speed wireless LAN, is analyzed and estimated by mathematical approaches. The CAC protocol of HIPERLAN is the EY-NPMA(Elimination Yield-Nonpreemptive Priority Multiple Access) which is transmitted after prioritization, elimination and yield phase. We analyzed channel contention phase composed of elimination and yield phase and then throughput is inspected by simulation. This result is useful to design and implement of HIPERLAN protocol.

In this paper, various power delay profiles (PDP) are simulated to study the influence of the PDP shape on the bit error rate (BER) performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. Assuming Rayleigh fading with 16-QAM modulation scheme, the simulation focuses on the investigation of the various shapes of the PDP which are often characterized by peaks, slope, attenuation and distance of an echo profile of waves. This yields information about the properties of the channel, and can be applied to decide the performance of the systems according to the channel.

In this paper we propose uplink packet transmission scheme based on Synchronized RA. The scheme can afford to support diverse QoS required from diverse multimeda traffics. In order to minimze the collision probability occurred in contention based channel access, we assign a reservation access channel additionally to the traffic channels. Access probability function for controlling collisions occurred in the reservation access channel is applied. Through assigning different access probability to each traffic user with respect to priority issued by his required QoS, the proposed scheme guarantees minimum throughput required by higher priority users in the whole range of system load.
