In this paper, we propose an efficient soft decision decoding algorithm for linear block codes. A conventional soft decision decoder have to invoke a hard decision decoder several times to estimate its soft decision values. However, in this method, we may not have candidate codewords, thus it is very difficult to produce soft decision values. We solve this problem by introducing an efficient algorithm to search candidate codewords. By using this, we can highly reduce the cases we cannot find candidate codewords. We estimate the performance of the proposed algorithm by using the computer simulations. The simulation is performed for binary (63, 36) BCH code in fading channel.

To implement satellite B-ISDN/ATM network, it needs to gurantee reliable transport via satelite in the poor BER environment. So, it requires to use channel coding (FEC:Forward Error Correction) schemes for improvement of BER performance, but these coding effects evoke burst errors and degradation of the QoS. Therefore we have to investigate new algorithm that compensates these weaknesses. We consider convolutional coding and concatenated coding among FEC schemes as FEC for satellite transmission and choose different compensational algorithm by the error characteristics of the using type of FEC. In using concatenated coding, this paper proposes the satellite system structure for interconnection to the terrestrial network and proposes the channel coding algorithm for improvement of transmission performances. We execute performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm by computer simulation. In detail, we propose 4 types of application ATM cell to the block coding(Reed-Solomon) and propose the new 55 byte ATM cell that enforces the error correction capability of cell header by the BCH coding. Then we propose the outer interleaverand the cell unit interleaver that evoke maximum coding effect of BCH code.

In this paper, we present a secret key distribution protocol without resorting to a key management infrastructure targeting at providing a low-complexity distributed solution to wireless network. The proposed scheme extracts a secret key from the random fluctuation of wireless channels. By exploiting time division duplexing transmission, two legitimate users, Alice and Bob can have highly correlated channel gains due to channel reciprocity, and a pair of random bit sequences can be generated by quantizing the channel gains. We propose a novel adaptive quantization scheme that adjusts quantization thresholds according to channel variations and reduces the mismatch probability between generated bit sequences by Alice and Bob. BCH codes, as a low-complexity and pratical approach, are also employed to correct the mismatches between the pair of bit sequences and produce a secret key shared by Alice and Bob. To maximize the secret key extraction rate, the parameters, quantization levels and code rates of BCH codes are jointly optimized.

Storage devices such as memories are widely used in various electronic products. They require high-density memory and currently the data has been stored in multi-level format, that results in high error rate. In this paper, we apply error correction schemes that are widely used in communication system to the storage devices for satisfying low bit error rate and high code rate. In A WGN channel with average BER $10^{-5}$ and $5{\times}10^{-6}$, we study error correction schemes for 4-1evel cell to achieve target code rate 0.99 and target BER $10^{-11}$ and $10^{-13}$, respectively. Since block codes may perform better than the concatenated codes for high code rate, and it is important to use less degraded inner code even when many bits are punctured. The performance of concatenated codes using general feedforward systematic convolutional codes are worse than the block code only scheme. The simulation results show that RSC codes must be used as inner codes to achieve good performance of punctured convolutional codes for high code rate.

In this paper, we deal with implementing design for a correlator access code generator module which they are used for setting up a connection between units, a packet decision, a clock syncronization, by FPGA. The orrelator module which is composed of the Wallace Tree's CSA and threshold value decision device decides useful a packet and syncronizes a clock, after it correlates an input signal of 1 Mbps transmission rate by a sliding window. An access code generator module which is composed of a BCH (Bose-Chadhuri-Hocquenghem) cyclic encoder and control device was designed according as a four steps' generation process proposed in the bluetooth standard. The pseudo random sequence which solves syncronization problem saved a voluntary device Proposed the module was designed by VHDL. An simulation and test are inspected by Xilinx FPGA.

We propose an adaptive decoding scheme for a concatenated codes with frequency-hopped spread-spectrum communication system in the presence of a pulse-burst jammer and its performance is analyzed. Concatenated coding system employing binary inner code and Reed-Solomon outer code is investigated and the use of side information is allowed to decode both erasures and errors. Our scheme makes the decoder adapts to the level of jamming by switching between two decoding modes such that the overall block error probability can be reduced. It is shown that the proposed decoding scheme yields a significant performance improvement over a conventional decoding scheme.

Recent studies have been received much attention on underwater laser communication, which is capable of high data rate. However, in underwater laser communication, distortions caused by absorption and scattering induced performance degradation. A typical way to improve performance is to apply channel coding technique. In the beginning of studies, simple methods such as RS and BCH coding techniques were applied. However, due to distance expansion and performance improvement, channel coding methods with low error probability such as LDPC coded method were applied. In this paper, we analyzed the performance according to the size of the code word N, the distance between the transceivers and the size of the M of the M-ary PPM modulation scheme. Simulation results show that parameter M of M-ary PPM is most effect on performance.

In the partial-band interference and Rayleigh fading environments, the bit error probability equation of FH/MFSK signal has been derived and the error rate has been evaluated. And the results are shown in graphs and discussed. Here, to improve the error rate performance the repeated diversity and the error-correction coding techniques are adopted. The degree of improvement of error rate performance has been found out in diversity and coding techniques respectively. In diversity case, repetition number is taken as a parameter and in coding case, as the error-correction codes Hamming code, BCH code, and convolutional code are introduced. From the obtained results, we have known that the increase of the number of repetition in diversity technique has been brought a little improvement of performance but the coding technique considerable improvement and in particular, convolutional code is very effective. Therefore, coding technique is considered to be better than repeated diversity to cope with Rayleigh fading and partial-band interference.

최근 들어 케이블 방송망을 기반으로 한 디지털 방송, VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol), VOD(Video on Demand), 영상전화, 이동전화, 무선 랜 로밍 등의 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스의 출현과 향후 도입될 새로운 융합형 멀티미디어 서비스의 수용을 위해 케이블 망의 고도화에 대한 요구가 제기되었다. 특히 유럽을 중심으로 이러한 요구를 만족시키기 위해 DVB(Digital Video Broadcasting)-C2 규격의 개발이 진행되었다. DVB-C2 규격에서는 기존의 게이블 전송 규격인 DVB-C에 대해 30% 이상의 전송 효율을 높이고자 새로운 변조 방식과 채널 오류정정 부호 방식을 도입하였다. 이에 본 논문은 본 논문에서는 DVB-C2 규격에서 도입된 채널 오류정정 부호인 BCH(Bose, Chaudhuri, and Hocquenghem) 부호와 LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) 부호의 연접 방식에 대한 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 개발된 시뮬레이터의 소개와 이를 통한 시험결과를 제시한다.
