Frequency offset in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is known to cause the inter-channel interference (ICI), amplitude and phase distortion of a received signal, resulting in a severe performance degradation of the total system. In this paper, we propose an improved pilot-based masimum likelihood frequency offset estimation technique, which uses the predefined sync-subchannels, and derive the error performance of the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically. The proposed technique improves the performance of the frequency offset estimator by adding up the frequency offset caused by coherent phase changes and averaging out the effect caused by random phase error. It is confirmed by computer simulations that the upper bound of error variance for the proposed frequency offset estimator analytically derived in this paper is correct, and that the proposed estimator has better performance than the previous ones in terms of error variance, tracking range, and time-varying characteristics of a channel.

추정된 채널 정보를 바탕으로 적용하는 적응형 비트 로딩 방식은, 전력선 통신 시스템의 고속화 및 대용량 데이터 전송을 위해 최근 대두되고 있는 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) coded OFDM 시스템에 대해, 한정된 주파수 대역과 신호 전력의 효율적 사용을 제공한다. 그러나 적응형 비트로딩 방식은 한정된 수의 일정 SNR(신호대 잡음 전력비) 구간에 대한 mapping 방식으로 적용되기 때문에 송수신 과정에서 추정된 채널 정보를 이용하는 sum-product 복호기가 채널 변화에 민감하게 반응하지 못하는 상황이 발생하며, 결국 송신단에서 채널 추정 결과를 바탕으로 선택된 SNR 범위에 대해서는 실제 수신되는 신호에 대한 SNR과의 차이가 존재하고 시스템의 성능은 그 만큼의 성능 열하로 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 성능 열하 정도를 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.

We present a novel pilot-aided channel estimation method for OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Muitiplexing) system using WT(Wavelet transform) and interpolation. Due to excellent AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) cancellation capability of n, pilot channels are estimated quite exactly and then, Dey are used in 2-degree polynomial interpolating the other remaining data symbol channels. The simulation results for Short WATM (Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode) channel show that the degradation in BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance of OFDM system iか this estimator is negligible compared to the case of perfect knowledge of CSI (Channel State Information).

Channel reliability estimation for iterative codes such as turbo codes is very important factor in time varying underwater acoustic channel, an incorrect estimation of channel reliability induced performance degradation. Therefore, this paper presents an optimal channel reliability estimation method for turbo coded FSK signal with rate of 1/3. The estimated BER algorithm is a method that can estimate the reliability of received data by comparing received data and decoded data, and we determine optimal channel reliability by using the method. In order to analyze the performance, the experiment was conducted on a lake in Munkyeong city by moving in the range of 300 m to 500 m. At the result of applying presented method to failed decoding packets, we confirm all packets are decoded successfully.

Opportunistic Beamforming (OBF) offers a way to provide the multiuser diversity even in slow fading channel by using randomly generated beam weights, leading to the substantially reduced feedback in the form of the instantaneous SNR from users. In spite of the advantage of the reduced feedback, the imperfect channel estimation might influence the quality of the estimated SNR and channel scheduler so bad that the selected AMC level would be higher than the achievable rate of the actual channel, resulting the corruption of transmitted packet. In this paper, we propose a conservative link adaptation, where the estimated SNR is scaled down by a conservative factor which minimizes the variance of the maximum difference between the actual channel SNR and the resultant SNR. To support the proposed scheme, we analyze the statistics of the difference of the channel SNR and the estimated SNR. Simulation results show that the introduction of conservative factor achieves more than two-fold performance improvement in the presence of channel estimation error and the fairness of PF scheduler is maintained when the least squared channel estimator is applied.

본 논문에서는 비선형 블라인드 채널등화기의 구현을 위하여 가우시안 가중치(gaussian weights)를 이용한 개선된 퍼지 클러스터(Modified Fuzzy C-Means with Gaussian Weights: MFCM_GW) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존 FCM 알고리즘의 유클리디언 거리(Euclidean distance) 값 대신 Bayesian Likelihood 목적함수(fitness function)와 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 멤버쉽 매트릭스(partition matrix)를 이용하여, 비선형 채널의 출력으로 수신된 데이터들로부터 최적의 채널 출력 상태 값(optimal channel output states)들을 직접 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 채널 출력 상태 값들로 비선형 채널의 이상적 채널 상태(desired channel states) 벡터들을 구성하고, 이를 Radial Basis Function(RBF) 등화기의 중심(center)으로 활용함으로써 송신된 데이터 심볼을 찾아낸다. 실험에서는 무작위 이진 신호에 가우시안 잡음이 추가된 데이터를 사용하여 기존의 Simplex Genetic Algorithm(GA), 하이브리드 형태의 GASA(GA merged with simulated annealing (SA)), 그리고 과거에 발표되었던 MFCM 등과 그 성능을 비교 분석하였으며, 가우시안 가중치가 적용된 MFCM_GW를 이용한 채널등화기가 상대적으로 정확도와 속도 면에서 우수함을 보였다.

지상파 DMB 동일 채널 중계기에서는 송신 안테나로부터 수신 안테나로 재입력되는 궤환 신호가 존재한다. 이 궤환 신호는 적절히 제거되지 않을 경우 수신 신호에 간섭으로 작용하게 되어 중계기 시스템의 안정성이 크게 떨어지게 된다. 과거에 진행된 연구에서는 궤환 채널을 추정하여 간섭을 제거시키는 궤환 신호 제거기(feedback canceller) 를 사용하여 이와 같은 문제를 해결하였다. 하지만 기존의 추정 알고리즘은 간단한 구현에 비해 수렴 성능과 속도 면에서 만족할만한 성능을 얻을 수 없었으며, 신호 간 상관도 제거를 위해 충분한 시간 지연을 해야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 궤환 채널 추정에 적합한 PNLMS (Proportionate Normalized Least Mean Squares) 적응형 알고리즘을 적용해 새로운 궤환 신호 제거 기법을 제안하였으며, 전산 모의 실험을 통해 이와 같은 문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있음을 보여준다.

In this paper, we propose an iterative self-interference (SI) channel estimation method for in-band full-duplex cellular systems that employ orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) on downlink (DL) and single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) on uplink (UL), as in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. The proposed method first acquires coarse estimates of SI channels using DL signals and UL pilots, which are known to the base stations, and then refines the estimates by consecutively exploiting averaging in the frequency domain and channel truncation in the time domain. In addition, the method enhances the estimates further by iteratively executing this estimation procedure, and does not require any radio resources dedicated to SI channel estimation. Simulation results demonstrate that by significantly improving the SI channel estimation performance without requiring exact knowledge of the SI channel length, the proposed method achieves UL channel estimation performance and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) performance very close to those in perfect SI cancellation.

In this paper, to improve the performance of PB/MC-CDMA system, we have researched about the decision feedback channel estimation method using the pilot symbol with data symbol. The PB/MC-CDMA system is able to obtain the improved BER by frequency diversity gain and frequency domain equalizer in the frequency selective fading channel. However, when it is not the estimating of channel exactly, it is degrading the performance of BER in the system for occurred the interference among users. To improve the performane system in the multi-user environment the proposed system is using the decision feedback to estimate channel using the channel estimated value of the first stage and second stage. The proposed system is evaluated by computer simulation. The proposed system is not only able to improve the performance of BER by decreasing the interference to each user, but also the proposed system is possible to reduce number of pilot symbol to estimate the channel. Therefore, it confirmed the proposed system improves the performance than the conventional system.

Multi-carrier CDMA technique is more attractive in wireless communication system. It can support the effect of frequency diversity with higher spectral efficiency. In this paper, pilot symbol structure was proposed to estimate chann디 paramenters for MC-CDMA system and we analyzed the perfoemance of proposed MC-CDMA which compensates the received signals using the pilot symbols for link transmission. At first, we proposed the new method of pilot's usage for reverse link transmission that can distinguish accessing users whose signals undergo diggerent channels.
