In this paper, we improve performance for system when the carrier recovery signal is not perfect in the multipath mobile wireless communication fast fading channel based on DS-CDMA system. In the case, we use the phase estimation, diversity and adaptive FEC code technique in order to overcome this carrier phase error and mobile wireless fading. As a results in DS-CDMA system, we know that the appropriate use of diversity and adaptive FEC code technique reduced considerably performance degradation due to phase error.

In this paper, we improve error performance for BPSK and QPSK when the carrier recovery signal is not perfect in the multipath Rician fading channel based on DS-CDMA system. In the case, we use the MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity and convolutional coding technique in order to overcome this carrier phase error and Rician fading. With results of analysis, we know that the appropriate use of MRC diversity and convolutional code reduced considerably performance degradation due to phase error.

본 논문은 빠른 페이딩 환경에서의 OFDM 시스템 채널 추정 기법에 대하여 소개한다. 기존의 OFDM 채널 추정 기법은 준 정적인 채널 환경을 가정하여 전개되었다. 이러한 환경에 대한 가정을 기반으로 하는 채널 추정 기법은 OFDM 블록내에서 채널이 변하는 빠른 페이딩 환경에서 심각한 에러 플로어를 겪게된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 OFDM 블록내에서도 채널이 변한다는 가정하에 시간과 주파수 두개의 차원에서의 상관성를 이용하여 ICI 를 제거하여 반복적으로 채널을 추정하는 기법을 제안한다.

We propose a robust channel estimation method against imperfect synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) downlink systems. We address time and frequency synchronization, and the channel estimation at the same time, and try to minimize the error propagation from the time and frequency synchronization steps into the chailnel estimation. The simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation method outperforms the conventional algorithms by about 3dB, and circumvents the problem of mismatch among the synchronization tasks.

In this paper, we discuss the effect of imperfect knowledge of the transmission channel on the M-QAM SER performance of space-time block codes. Because the channel knowledge is used for decoding of space-time block codes, the imperfect channel knowledge can degrade the performance of space-time block codes. In this paper, the channel mismatch error is modeled as errors in the estimation of the channel due to noise and errors due to the variation of the channel. We derive the analytic expression for the symbol error rate (SER) as a function of the average signal to interference ratio (SIR) per channel including the terms of channel mismatch errors. Simulation results show that the acceptable levels of channel estimation error is 10$\^$-3/ and that of channel variation is f$\_$d/T$\_$B/=0.001 at SNR=20dB in space-time block codes.

This paper proposes the channel estimation method robust to severe frequency selective fading channels in O%M system using wide bandwidth for the high data rate transmission. DDCE, which uses data between the high correlated symbols, is usually used for channel estimation in the slow fading channels. DDCE can get high gains in the non-selective channels. As the bandwidth of system gets wider, it becomes more severe frequency selective fading environments so that the reliability of data becomes lower and error flow is occurred. FE method, this paper proposed, uses the relation between sub-carriers of OFDM in frequency selective fading channels so FE method gets some gains by adapting the power value at a target frequency to the mean value of channel estimated values of adjacent sub-carriers. Because FE uses only preamble unlike DDCE using data, it is independent of data rate related to the reliability of data and the number of multipath. Consequently, FE can obtain considerable gains in the wideband systems where the errorflow of DDCE is occurred, and FE is applicable to frequency selective fading environments.

Pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) can be used for the channel estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission systems. However, imperfect channel estimates in PSAM systems degrade the bit error rate (BER) performance. I derive the BER of PSAM OFDM systems over time dispersive fading channels. The BER performance of OFDM systems with SFBC antenna diversity are analyzed, where data is transmitted over time and frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this PSAM SFBC OFDM systems, gauged by the average bit error rate, is analyzed considering the channel estimation error.

In this paper, a Gaussian interpolation filter and cubic interpolation filter are presented to do more accurate channel estimation compared to the conventional linear interpolation filter for COFDM systems. In addition to an interpolation filter, a low pass filter using FFT and IFFT is also presented to reduce the noisy components of a channel estimate obtained by an interpolation filter. Channel estimates after low-pass filtering combined with interpolation filters can lower the error floor compared to the use of only interpolation filters. Computer simulation demonstrates that the presented channel estimation methods exhibit an improved performance compared to the conventional linear interpolation filter for COFDM systems in time-varying multipath fading channel and0.1 ~ 0.2 dB of Eb/No difference at BER=10-4 when the perfect channel estimation is compared.

OFDM시스템의 대안으로, SC-FDE시스템은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경에서 구현상의 복잡도가 크지 않으면서 낮은 PAPR로 다중 경로 지연에 의한 영향을 완화시키기 위한 기술로 연구되어 왔다. SC-FDE시스템에서 보호 구간으로 PN신호를 훈련 심볼(Training Sequence)로 둠으로써 CP에 비해 빠른 동기화와 채널 추정에 사용될 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 채널 추정을 위해 Correlation과 LMS기법을 동시에 적용함으로써 에러가 최소가 되기까지 수렴 시간을 줄일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 PN시퀀스를 기반으로 추정한 채널 값으로, ISI를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 MMSE-FDE 등화 기법을 제안한다. SFN 채널 환경과 같이 스펙트럼 널이 강한 다중 경로 페이딩환경에서 ISI를 선 제거 하는 ISI cancellation 기법을 통해 정확한 SNR추정을 할 수 있고, 이를 통해 MMSE-FDE 등화 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다.

There are channel errors when video data are transmitted between encoder and decoder. These channel errors would make decoded image incorrect, so it is very important to detect and recover channel errors. This paper proposes a method of error detection and recovery by hiding specific information into video bitstream using fragile watermark and checking it later. The proposed method requires no additional bits into compressed bitstream since it embeds a user-specific data pattern in the least significant bits of LEVELs in VLC codewords. The decoder can extract the information to check whether the received bitstream has an error or not. We also propose to use this method to embed essential data such as motion vectors that can be used for error recovery. The proposed method can detect corrupted MBs that usually escape the conventional syntax-based error detection scheme. This proposed method is quite simple and of low complexity. So the method can be applied to multimedia communication system in low bitrate wireless channel.
