본 논문에서는 ITS 응용을 위한 Alamouti 기법을 이용한 효과적인 차량 검출 성능을 분석하였다. 차량 검출은 DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) 기반의 하이패스 환경에서 실험하였다. 시스템 성능으로는 비트 에러 확률로 실험 결과 값에 대하여 분석하였으며, 실험환경은 진입차량의 속도를 60km/h로 가정하여 DSRC 기반의 변조방식인 ASK 기법 을 적용하여 실험하였다. 또한 적용된 채널은 Rician 채널을 적용하여 LOS (Line of Sight)환경을 고려하며 실험을 하였다. 또한 사용된 반송파 주파수는 일본 DSRC 시스템 하향링크를 참고하여 5.8GHz를 적용하였다. 실험결과로 안테나가 2개일 경우와 Alamouti 기법을 적용할 때의 검출성능을 각각 나타내었으며, Alamouti 기법을 적용할 때 성능이 보다 개선되었음을 본 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a new cooperative protocol in which Alamouti's scheme is applied to exploit the advantages of both coded cooperation and Alamouti's scheme. It not only has better than direct transmission but also coded cooperation at appropriate cooperation levels. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can save approximately 6~7 dB of transmit power to achieve the target BER(Bit Error Rate) compared with coded cooperation. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed protocol does not significantly depend on the qualities of inter-user channels.

Since the publication of Alamouti's famous space-time block code, various quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QSTBC) for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) fading channels for more than two transmit antennas have been proposed. It has been shown that these codes cannot achieve full diversity at full rate. In this paper, we present a simple feedback scheme for rich scattering (flat Rayleigh fading) MIMO channels that improves the coding gain and diversity of a QSTBC for 2$^n$ (n=3, 4, ${\cdots}$) transmit antennas. The relevant channel state information is sent back from the receiver to the transmitter quantized to one or two bits per code block. In this way, signal transmission with an improved coding gain and diversity near to the maximum diversity order is achieved. Such high diversity can be exploited with either a maximum-likelihood receiver or low-complexity zero-forcing receiver.

수중음향 채널은 일반적으로 다중경로 전달과 분산 등으로 인해 통신하기에 어려운 매질 가운데 하나로 인식된다. MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output) 기술은 대역이 제한된 수중음향 채널에서 데이터 전송율을 증가시키기 위해 최근 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이 경우 전송 다이버시티 기술을 적용할 수 있는데 대표적인 것이 Alamouti 구조이다. 이 논문에서는 실험을 통하여 전송 다이버시티 기술의 성능을 고찰하였다. 실험에는 2개의 송신기와 2개의 수신기가 사용되었으며, 실내의 음향수조에서 수행되었다. 실험 결과 5~8%의 오차율을 확인하였는데 이는 같은 전송율을 기준으로 SISO(Single-input single-output) 채널에서의 오차율 14.8% 보다 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

In multipath fading channel, diversity is essential to mitigate the impairments. In this paper, we have proposed the angle diversity scheme called ATTD(Angle Time Transmit Diversity) instead of Alamouti's STTD(Space Time Transmit Diversity) and have analyzed the performance of the proposed scheme when signal powers caused by the transmission to different angles are different. Based on it, we have measured the wireless vector-channel in the urban area, which has lots of high-story buildings, using the data collected from the 8 by 4 smart array antenna system that we made. According to the measured data, the received signals from different angles have different signal powers. Our performance analysis results show that the proposed scheme has better performance than the space diversity scheme when the received path signal power is at least -7dB compare to the strongest path signal power.

Problems encountered in IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) design are interferences from neighboring or hidden nodes and collision from simultaneous transmissions within the same contention floors. This paper presents the selective decoding schemes in MAC protocol for multiple input multiple output ad-hoc networks. It is able to mitigate interferences by using a developed minimum mean-squared error technique. This interference mitigation combined with the maximum likelihood decoding schemes for the Alamouti coding enables the receiver to decode and differentiate the desired data streams from co-channel data streams. As a result, it allows a pair of simultaneous transmissions to the same or different nodes which yields the network utilization increase. Moreover, the presented three decoding schemes and time line operations are optimally selected corresponding to the transmission demand of neighboring nodes to avoid collision. The selection is determined by the number of request to send (RTS) packets and the type of clear to send packets. Both theoretical channel capacity and simulation results show that the proposed selective decoding scheme MAC protocol outperforms the mitigation interference using multiple antennas and the parallel RTS processing protocols for the cases of (1) single data stream and (2) two independent data streams which are simultaneously transmitted by two independent transmitters.

We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

UWB(Ultra-Wideband)는 낮은 전력으로 초고속 통신을 실현하는 근거리 무선 통신 기술로써 주파수 부족 현상을 넘어서서 신규 기술을 도입할 수 있는 획기적인 기술 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 UWB 전송방식 중 하나인 MB-OFDM(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템을 기반으로 열악한 채널 환경을 극복할 수 있도록, 시공간 블록 부호(STBC, Space Time Block Code)와 순환 지연 다이버시티(CDD, Cyclic Delay Diversity)기법이 결합된 STCDD 협력 전송 기법 및 적응적 DF 중계 기술을 제안한다. 제안된 STCDD 협력 전송 기법은 기존의 STBC를 사용하는 수신기에서도 구조 변경 없이 바로 적용 가능하며 기존의 STBC 협력 전송 기법에 비해 향상된 성능을 보인다. 또한, 다중 홉 환경에서 순환 중복 검사를 통해 중계 채널의 상태를 파악하고, 중계 채널의 상태에 따라 적응적으로 DF 중계 기술을 선택함으로써 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

The combination of multiple antennas and multi-carrier code division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) is a strong candidate for the downlink of the next generation mobile communications. The study of such systems in scenarios that model real-life trans-missions is an additional step towards an optimized achievement. We consider a realistic MIMO channel with two or four transmit antennas and up to two receive antennas, and channel state information (CSI) mismatches. Depending on the mobile terminal (MT) class, its number of antennas or complexity allowed, different data-rates are proposed with turbo-coding and asymptotic spectral efficiencies from 1 to 4.5 bit/s/Hz, using three algorithms developed within the European IST-MATRICE project. These algorithms can be classified according to the degree of CSI at base-station (BS): i) Transmit space-frequency prefiltering based on constrained zero-forcing algorithm with complete CSI at BS; ii) transmit beamforming based on spatial correlation matrix estimation from partial CSI at BS; iii) orthogonal space-time block coding based on Alamouti scheme without CSI at BS. All presented schemes require a reasonable complexity at MT, and are compatible with a single-antenna receiver. A choice between these algorithms is proposed in order to significantly improve the performance of MC-CDMA and to cover the different environments considered for the next generation cellular systems. For beyond-3G, we propose prefiltering for indoor and pedestrian microcell environments, beamforming for suburban macrocells including high-speed train, and space-time coding for urban conditions with moderate to high speeds.
