Recently, digital communication system becomes high speed, as communication demand dose not only increases sharply, but an image, voice various kinds data also comes multimedia. In transmitting data at a high speed, the main problem is fading by multipath. A linear or nonlinear distortion arise In multipath channel fading from ISI(Intersymbol Interference). For restoring this distorted signal, A lot of equalizer and adaptive algorithm is introduced. This paper compares and analysises, for improving communication quality in channel which is long delay spread, performance of decision feedback equalizer by RLS algorithm, a channel estimation by RLS-MLSE and viterbi equalizer Particularly, there Is exactly channel estimation of impluse response and excellent property of equalization about channel, which delay spread is long impluse response comparatively and is property of non-minimun phase.

본 논문에서는 열악한 주파수 선택적 페이딩이나 고속 페이딩 채널 환경에서 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) DTV 수신기의 등화 성능 향상을 위해 필터 탭을 선택적으로 사용하는 스파스 적응 등화기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 등화기는 채널 추정을 수행한 후 등화기 초기화를 위한 탭 계수를 찾는다. 구해진 등화기 탭의 초기화 계수에 대해 특정 임계값을 적용하여 유효한 탭을 선택하여 활성화시킨다. 그리고 활성화 된 탭만을 이용하여 채널 등화를 수행한다. 결과적으로 기존 등화기와 동일한 탭 길이를 가지 고 있지만, 실제 사용하는 탭 수가 작아지므로 등화기의 단계상수를 크게 만들어 고속 페이딩 채널의 변화를 빠르게 추적할 수 있게 된다. 제안된 등화기 알고리듬의 성능 개선을 확인하기 위한 실험으로 ATSC DTV 성능분석 시 일반적으로 사용되는 브라질 채널 및 ATSC등화 성능 요구 조건에 대해 기존의 등화기와 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 기존의 등화기와 같은 안정성을 가지면서 빠른 수렴 속도를 가지고 고속 페이딩 채널 보상 능력의 큰 향상을 보였다.

DS-CDMA downlink distinguishes actual user by orthogonal spreading codes ,but its orthogonality may be lost by the multiple access interference(MAI) caused by the multipath channel. Therefore in this paper, we proposed the single-user receiver, which use linear channel equalizer to eliminate the interference due to multipath channel and to recover orthogonality and then use code-matched filter to detect transmitted data. Unlike existing research, which mainly assumed ideal channel information, we use pilot channel assisted methods that is a kind of transmission of a parallel reference method to estimate the channel coefficients. Especially we use guard symbols which are inserted periodically to estimate channel coefficients exactly without interference from user signal. The results show that we accepted an approximately ideal channel information and achieved excellent performance improvement using proposed receiver compared with the conventional receiver especially user populations are high.

In this paper, we consider the quasi maximum likelihood(quasi-ML) detector which uses antenna arrays in asynchronous time-varing channels. It is shown that the proposed quasi-ml detector can be regarded as a beamformer followed by a decorrelator: a method based on the eigendecomposition of the correlation matrix of the inverse-filtered signal is proposed to estimate the channel vectors. We also show that the proposed algorithm estimates the channel vector within small mismatch loss in severe propagation environment through computer simulations.

This paper proposes a unified time-domain channel estimator (UTD-CE) for ubiquitous wireless broadband access based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. As a part of a software radio platform for ubiquitous services, the proposed UTD-CE can be exploited with the simply changeable parameters, pilot symbols and pilot subcarriers allocation, which are usually different according to the system specifications such as IEEE802.11x WiFI, IEEE802.16x WiMAX, DMB, Media FLO, DVB-H, etc. Given the pilot information, the channel frequency responses (CFRs) of data subcarriers will be analogously estimated by Wiener filtering and discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based interpolation in the UTD-CE. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the conventional time-domain channel estimator when the pilot information is changed.

We propose two feedback interference cancellers(FICs) to improve the performance of the equalization digital on-channel repeater(EDOCR) with the FIC for the ATSC DTV broadcasting system. The FIC estimates the feedback channel between Tx. and Rx. antennas of the repeater by cross-correlating the reference signal and the feedback signal. Since there is a DC pilot which ruins the white property of the ATSC DTV signals, the FIC cannot estimate the feedback channel accurately. To solve the problem, the structural method which uses an additional DC pilot free reference for feedback channel estimation and the algorithmic method based on the digital signal processing which whitens the ATSC DTV signals and performs the feedback cancellation in the whitened signal domain. Simulation results show that the proposed two FICs show better feedback cancellation performance than the conventional FIC.

Transmitted data may be compensated by using estimated channel values that are obtained with pilot symbols in OFDM-CDMA systems. Generally, a USE (Minimum Mean-Squared Error) estimator using correlations between pilot symbols gives good results, but its structure is so complicated. Starting with a modification of PA (Pilot-Aided) algorithm using pilot symbols and PADD (Pilot-Aided Decision-Directed) algorithm using both pilot and data symbols, a new channel estimation algorithm with more simpler structure is proposed. The performance of this algorithm is evaluated with varying mobile speed in a Ralyleigh multipath fading environment through computer simulations. The simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation algorithm outperforms a conventional PA algorithm.

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.

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.

In this paper, a Modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian Weights(MFCM_GW) is presented for nonlinear blind channel equalization. The proposed algorithm searches the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel from the received symbols, based on the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and Gaussian weighted partition matrix instead of a conventional Euclidean distance measure. Next, the desired channel states of a nonlinear channel are constructed with the elements of estimated channel output states, and placed at the center of a Radial Basis Function(RBF) equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In the simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of a simplex genetic algorithm(GA), a hybrid genetic algorithm(GA merged with simulated annealing(SA): GASA), and a previously developed version of MFCM. It is shown that a relatively high accuracy and fast search speed has been achieved.
