We consider two methods for the pilot signal transmission in DS/CDMA systems: Pilot channel method which is parallel to the data channel and pilot symbol method which is serial to the data channel. In this paper, we analyze the two methods. The performance of the two methods is shown to be dependent upon the added noise, fading, pilot symbol period and pilot channel power. Through the analysis, it is found that the performance of the pilot symbol method outperforms compared to the pilot channel method.

This paper researches on the scheme superimposing the rotation phases over the pilot and data symbols in order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) communication. The bandwidth and power efficiency are the main consideration. The phases of rotation vector are added to those of both pilot symbols and data symbols interlaying between any two pilot symbols in an OFDM block. Owing to this scheme the transmitter reduces the PAPR using the partial transmit sequences(PTS) and the receiver restores the data symbol utilizing the channel estimation of pilot symbols. Therefore, the bandwidth efficiency is accomplished by not using the further subcarriers for the reduction of PAPR and the enormous increase of bit error rate according to the receiving error of the side information, i.e. the phases of rotation vector, is prevented. In other words, both bandwidth-and power-efficiency and quality of communication performance can be improved.

We applied a pilot symbol assisted modulation technique to QPSK system for improving BER performance over mobile communication channel. We demonstrate through computer simulation, that the proposed scheme achieves a prominent improvement comparison to that of conventional QPSK in a fast flat Rayleigh fading environment.

In this paper, we propose a pilot based channel estimation technique in two-way relay networks. We propose to transmit a pilot symbol together with the data symbol during transmission. In absence of Channel State Information (CSI), destination uses the pilot symbol to estimate the channel. In this system, the relay amplifies the pilot and the data symbol then forward them to the destination using amplify and forward (AF) protocol. We assume that the relay gain is fixed, so the relay does not need to estimate the channel, the destination only estimate the channel. We apply well-known Least-square (LS) and minimum mean-square error (MMSE) channel estimation methods to estimate the channel.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 하나의 데이터 열(data stream)을 낮은 데이터 전송률을 갖는 작은 데이터로 나누고, 이들을 부반송파(subcarrier)를 통해 동시에 전송한다. OFDM이 차세대 전송방식으로 채택된 이유는 주파수 선택적 페이딩(frequency selective fading)이나 협대역(narrow band)간 간섭에 받는 영향이 적어 고속 통신이 가능하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 RS 부호(Reed-Solomon Code)를 사용하여 OFDM에서 대용량 데이터를 전송할 때 발생하기 쉬운 연집 오류(burst error)를 정정하도록 하였다. 또한 채널 사이에 파일롯 심볼(pilot symbol)을 삽입하여 채널 추정을 통한 신호의 타이밍 오류도 고려하였다.

The synchronization algorithm of IEEE 802.11a WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) has three consecutive processes, which use a short code training symbol, a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol respectively. But in using this synchronization processes, the actual embodiment has two problems. First, the synchronization process has the complex structure using a long code training symbol and a pilot symbol. Second, since the long training symbol is only compensated with the offset correction coefficient, it can not be trusted perfectly. If the equalizer coefficient is obtained in this unstable period, the system performance is degraded. In particular, the system performance becomes worst in case of the 54 Mbps transmission system using the maximum length of data. In this paper, the new algorithm is proposed which can resolve the embodiment complexity of synchronization processes and structural defect, and also it is confirmed by simulation.

A DMT transceiver recovers the sampling time from reserved sub-carriers, the pilots. Since the pilots are available after the FFT, the symbol synchronization must be done before sample synchronization. In DMT VDSL system, symbol synchronization is handled separately from sample synchronization, although the two processes are intimately related. The DMT symbol itself contains sufficient information, the cyclic extension, for symbol synchronization. Using only the sign bit of received signal, the Maximum Likelihood Estimation solution is derived. The Tx windowing in the transmitter of DMT VDSL system results in the blurring of MLE peaks. We propose the weighted summing MLE method using the sign bit which produces the clearly sharp top of MLE peaks. The stability of symbol synchronization is improved significantly by averaging over a few symbols. This paper presents the study of the original MLE and the weighted summing MLE using sign bit. A clock difference between transmitter and receiver destroys the oahogonality of the carriers. Therefore, a receiver using asynchronous sampling must perform timing correction in the discrete-time domain. We introduce an efficient digital sample synchronization method which is based on temporal and frequency domain digital signal processing.

In this paper, a synchronous reverse link DS-CDMA system with cdma2000 standard is simulated to analyze performance of system and to find the optimum power ratio between pilot channel and traffic channel. In the cdma2000 the pilot channel is used to estimate fading channel, in contract to IS-95 and it compensates phase variation of received signal due to channel environment. When the length of channel estimation is 31pcg symbols, we can find the optimum power ratio of pilot channel to traffic channel. And also we find Eb/No satisfying target FER when the power control is applied and analyze performance of system with multiuser transmission.
