We propose a combined STBC (Space Time Block Coding) and AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) in the underwater multipath communication channel. Performance of UAC (underwater acoustic communication) in shallow water is degraded by complicated multipath and reverberation. For this reason, and considering the variability of the ocean channel, we combined STBC and AMC techniques, which are the spatial diversity in a multi-sensor communication system. BER (Bit error rate) of combined STBC and AMC is improved by 5dB when we compare with the BER of a single sensor based system. The proposed system shows a 3dB improvement when we compare it with the BER of the single sensor based system applying the AMC technique only.

OFDM 송수신 시스템에서 채널성능을 개선하기 위해 CDD(Cyclic Delay Diversity) 기술을 적용하면, Frequency Interlea ving의 영향으로 인해 burst error가 randomize되어, convolutional code/Viterbi decoding FEC의 BER 성능개선 효과를 배가 할 수 있다. 그러나 차세대 통신시스템에 적극 활용되는 Turbo FEC는 자체 interleaving 구조를 가지고 있으므로, CDD기술과의 결합으로 인한 영향을 증명하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 Turbo FEE를 사용하는 OFDM CDD시스템을 MATLAB을 이용한 computer simulation을 통해서 BER 성능을 비교분석 하였다.

Multi-Carrier CDMA 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭은 시스템의 성능 저하를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 역방향 링크에서 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템에서 불완전한 채널 예측과 다중사용자 간섭의 영향을 연구하였다. 더욱이, 라이시안 페이딩 채널의 역방향 링크에서 최대비 합성 공간 다이버시티와 선택 합성 공간 다이버시티 기법을 적용한 성능 개선에 대하여 연구하였다. 수치계산 결과, 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 채널을 예측하는 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 성능은 등가 잡음 대역폭의 분산($\sigma$$^2$$_{c}$)에 매우 민감하나 무선 채널에서의 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비에는 그리 심하지 않았다. 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화와 파일럿 심볼 간격의 최적화는 라이시안 페이딩 채널에서 Multi-Carrier CDMA BPSK 시스템의 BER 계산을 통하여 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 불완전한 채널 예측에 의한 BER 열화는 신호 전력 대 잡음 전력비와 채널 예측 필터의 등가 잡음 대역폭에 관계하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In a free-space coherent optical communication system, wavefront distortion is frequently beyond the correction range of the adaptive-optics system after the laser has propagated through the atmospheric turbulence. A method of residual wavefront correction is proposed, to improve the quality of coherent optical communication in free space. The relationship between the wavefront phase expanded by Zernike polynomials and the mixing efficiency is derived analytically. The influence of Zernike-polynomial distortion on the bit-error rate (BER) of a phase-modulation system is analyzed. From the theoretical analysis, the BER of the system changes periodically, due to the periodic extension of wavefront distortion. Experimental results show that the BER after correction is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-4; however, when the closed-loop control algorithm with residual correction is used, the experimental results show that the BER is reduced from 10^-1 to 10^-7.

In this paper, the capacity and BER performance of downlink distributed antenna systems (DAS) with transmit antenna selection and multiple receive antennas are investigated in MIMO composite channel, where path loss, Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing are all considered. Based on the performance analysis, using the probability density function (PDF) of the effective SNR and numerical integrations, tightly-approximate closed-form expressions of ergodic capacity and average BER of DAS are derived, respectively. These expressions have more accuracy than the existing expressions, and can match the simulation well. Besides, the outage capacity of DAS is also analyzed, and a tightly-approximate closed-form expression of outage capacity probability is derived. Moreover, a practical iterative algorithm based on Newton's method for finding the outage capacity is proposed. To avoid iterative calculation, another approximate closed-form outage capacity is also derived by utilizing the Gaussian distribution approximation. With these theoretical expressions, the downlink capacity and BER performance of DAS can be effectively evaluated. Simulation results show that the theoretical analysis is valid, and consistent with the corresponding simulation.

In regions of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), performance analysis uses simulations of hybrid concatenated coding systems. However, for higher SNR regions beyond simulation capabilities, average upper bounds to bit error rate (BER) and word error rate (WER) are used. In [1], all weight enumerating functions are needed to obtain average bounds. In this paper, we use RSC as constituent codes, by using effective free distances instead of WEF, we derive average BER and WER bounds of hybrid concatenated convolutional codes (HCCC) and analyze the BER and WER over AWGN and Rayleigh/Rician fading channels.

Wireless Relaying is a promising solutions to overcome the channel impairments and provides high data rate coverage that appear for beyond 3G mobile communications. In this paper we present end to end BER performance of dual hop wireless communication systems equipped with multiple Decode and Forward relays over Rayleigh fading channel with the best relay selection. We compare the BER performance of the best relay with the BER performance of single relay. We select the best relay based on the end to end channel conditions. We further calculate the outage probability of the best relay. It is shown that the outage probability of the best relay is equivalent to the outage probability when all relays take part in the transmission. We apply Orthogonal Space Time Block coding(OSTBC) at the source terminal. Numerical and simulation results are presented to verify our analysis.

In this paper, we have proposed the Multi-Carrier (MC) CDMA system by adopting multi-interference cancellation techniques connecting an adaptive array antenna and a CCI canceller in cascade form. And, we have analyzed the BER performance of system in AWGN channel where MUI is a major interference degrading the performance of the proposed MC CDMA system. Also, we have evaluated the degree of performance improvement in the proposed MC CDMA system. As the result of analysis, a CCI canceller is better efficient than an adaptive array antenna in the performance improvement and that the performance improvement becomes large as the number of users increases when multi-interference cancellation techniques are used in cascade form. Also, we found that performance of $10^{-5}$ in a point of view BER could be achieved when $E_b/N_o$ is more than 10 dB.

In this paper, we have analyzed the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of MC-CDMA systems under indoor wireless environment with class A impulsive noise suggested by Middleton. For the performance evaluation, we considered from strong to weak impulsive noise characteristics. And we have evaluated the degree of performance improvement by using turbo code as a compensation technique to impulsive noise. From the result of analysis, it is found powerful performance improvement scheme must be adopted in the system under impulsive noise environment, and when turbo code scheme is adopted, system BER performance is improved by the $10^{-2}$. As the impulsive noise characteristics approaches AWGN characteristics, the degree of performance improvement by adopting turbo code become larger.
