It has been grown interests of the convergence technologies about communication systems and vehicular industry. Vehicular communications enable a number of infotainment applications to serve cars under high mobility environments. To achieve this goal, a robust and accurate channel estimation scheme is of great importance. This paper proposes an enhanced Decision-Directed channel estimation scheme called PTAU(Pilot Tone Aided Update) for IEEE 802.11p in vehicular communication environment. Existing approaches which use subsequent data symbols to estimate channel response in time domain will lead to the error propagation. In this paper, we use the pilot subcarriers to get initial channel response, then utilize the correlation characteristics to update channel response in frequency domain. Finally, Analysis and simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms in bit error rate(BER), significantly improve the performance of the estimation.

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive MIMO switching algorithm that provides the optimal trade-off between throughput and reliability of data in MIMO system. The proposed algorithm is based on the variable packet error predictor which is robust for channel estimation error, and we show that our algorithm has a better spectrum efficiency than the conventional MIMO switching techniques about 8 percent point.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve the performance of initial channel estimation (CE) for the multiband-OFDM (MB-OFDM) UWB. The performance of the initial CE can be generally improved as increasing the number of the used preamble symbols. The MB-OFDM specification presents two CE symbols per band in preamble format. The performance of CE estimation with two CE symbols may be satisfied in relatively high sensitivity -77.5 and -72.5 dBm for 200 Mbps and 480 Mbps data rate, respectively, but can not be enough in the degraded 55 Mbps and 110 Mbps sensitivities such as -83.5 and -80.5 dBm, respectively. A method proposed in this paper achieves the performance improvement by extending CE estimation region to packet synchronization (PS) symbols and frame synchronization (FS) symbols including two CE symbols. This can improve the CE performance in the degraded SNR and increase the link-margin by reducing the error rate in physical-layer header. The link-margin improvement obtained by the proposed CE preamble can induce the decrease of error-rate in physical-layer header and increase of communication throughput. Simulation results for the proposed initial method show that the performance is improved by about 0.7 dB at 10-4 bit-error-rate using '4' symbols than initial method using only two CE symbols.

In this paper, we propose a method to determine the optimal cyclic delay value of cyclic delay diversity(CDD) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems. As the cyclic delay value increases, we can get signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) gain by diversity effect, while SINR loss increases because of channel estimation errors. If the optimal delay value obtained by the proposed method is applied to CDD scheme, we can minimize the required SINR for a given FER(frame error rate) under the above mentioned trade-off.

In this paper, we propose a mobile channel estimation algorithm using matching pursuit algorithm for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Least square (LS) algorithm, which is used as a conventional channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems, has error probability of channel estimation affected by effects of noise. By estimating the channel of sparse type, the proposed algorithm reduces effects of noise during time intervals that multi-path signal doesn't exist. The proposed algorithm estimates a mobile receivingchannel using pilot information transmitted consequently. We compare performance of the proposed algorithm with the LS algorithm by measuring symbol error rate with 64QAM under a mobile multi-path fading channel model.

In general, as the amplitude and phase information of the physical layer channel impulse response change rapidly in time and frequency according to the high-speed movement of the vehicles in V2X communication systems, it is difficult to accurately estimate these channels at the receiving end. In order to effectively overcome this problem, midamble-based channel estimation methods in which mid-ambles are periodically inserted into a packet have been recently considered. However, as the number of midambles increases, we suffer from the spectral efficiency loss. To relieve such a loss, in this paper, we propose a new bidirectional averaging channel estimation method that combines the existing data pilot-based channel estimation methods and the mid-ambles. Finally, through the simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the existing mid-amble method in terms of packet error rate with fewer number of mid-ambles.

I evaluate the BER performance of OFDM systems in frequency selective Doppler time variant fading channels, considering the pilot patterns for channel estimation. The performance of the systems is degraded due to channel estimation error. For the reduction of performance degradation in acceptable level, the optimum distance of pilot symbols in pilot pattern is 5 subcarriers in frequency domain and 6 OFDM block in time domain.

문선 채널에서 신뢰성 있는 실시간 동영상 서비스를 하기 위해서는 비디오 스트림 내에서 오류가 발생한 블록의 위치를 알아야 정확한 오류 복구가 가능하다. 이전의 오류 검출 연구들은 대부분 픽셀 단위로 비교하므로 계산량이 많은 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 서비스를 고려하여 계산량이 적은 블록 단위의 오류 검출 기법을 제안한다. 블록 내의 DCT 계수를 이용하여 오류를 검출한다. DC 계수를 이용해 1차 임계치를 비교한 후 AC 계수를 이용해 에지를 검출한다. 애지가 존재하는 블록에 대해 2차 임계치를 비교하여 오류 여부를 판단한다. DCT 계수 정보를 직접 이용할 수 없는 P, B 프레임에서 DCT 계수를 추정할 수 있는 방법도 함께 제안한다. 제안한 오류 검출 기법을 실제 구현하여 성능을 측정한다.

In this paper, the channel estimation and pilot sequence design technique of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multi-cell environments are studied for situations in which the inter cell interference (ICI) is the dominant channel impairment. We design pilot sequence aiming at minimizing mean square error and propose the channel estimation technique correspond to the designed pilot sequences. The proposed pilot sequences employ the sequences with good correlation properties such as Chu sequence and through simulations, it is shown that channel estimation algorithm using designed pilot sequence is effective for mitigating the ICI.
