In this paper, we propose a transceiver structure that can effectively improve BER(Bit Error Rate) performance for TR-UWB (Transmitted Reference Ultra Wide Band) systems based on impulse radio. Unlike coherent UWB systems that are too complex for practical implementation while having good BER performances, the complexity of the TR-UWB systems is quite low since they transmit data with the corresponding reference signals and demodulate the data through correlation using these received signals. However, the BER performance in the conventional TR-UWB systems is affected by SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the reference templates used in the correlator. To this end, we propose a receiver structure that can effectively improve the BER performance by increasing the SNR of reference templates. Simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves significant BER improvement as compared to the conventional TR-UWB systems.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an improvement method of BER for coded 16-QAM under Rayleigh fading channel. To overcome the BER degradation due to the fading under mobile communication, we apply delay modulation technique which is efficient to get both a coding gain and approximately one-half those needed by Manchester coding on bandwidth requirements. Especially, the delay modulation scheme is insensitive to the $180^{\circ}$phase ambiquity common to NRZ-L and Manchester coding schemes. From the computer simulation, BER performance of our scheme has achieved about 3.8 dB improvement of about $10^{-4}$, compared to Manchester coded 16-QAM.

Performance of the Alamouti algorithm based M-ary $2{\times}N$ OSTBC(Orthogonal Space Time Block Coded) MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) system has been simulated varying two main parameters - the number of constellation(M), and the number of receiving antennas(N). Computer simulation has also been carried out using Matlab software for performance comparison between $2{\times}N$ MIMO and MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity antenna system to evaluate the degree of enhancement achieved through the use of Alamouti $2{\times}N$ MIMO. Under 10 dB EbNo QPSK scenario, $2{\times}1$ MIMO brought 4.2 dB BER improvement over single antenna system and $2{\times}2$ MIMO resulted in 7.4 dB BER improvement over $1{\times}2$ MRC.

This paper drives the exact expression of bit error rate(BER) performance for successive interference cancellation(SIC) algorithm against multipath interference components in a high-speed downlink packet access(HSDPA) system of W-CDMA downlink and the BER performance is evaluated by numerical analysis. Numerical results showed that the average BER performance is rapidly saturated in terms of increasing the number of multipath and is revealed significant improvement for improvement Processing gain(PG). For example, the average BER Performance of the SIC algorithm is superior to the performance of conventional scheme by more than 7dB and 1.4dB for processing gain PG=54 and 128 under the two-path channel and average BER=$1.0{\times}10^{-3}$, respectively. This results also indicated that the average BER saturation is occurred at nearly one weight factor which is assigned to pilot and data channels. Likewise, the average BER performance is greatly degraded due to increasing the interference power in proportional to the number of multipath with increasing multicode K. And the smaller multipath fading channel gain is arrived later, the more the average BER performance is improved. The results of performance analysis in this paper indicated that the multipath interference cancellation is required to improve the BER performance in a HSDPA system under multicode for high-speed packet transmission, low spreading factor, and multipath fading channel.

Chaos communication system is one of the security algorithms that is applied to improve the security. Chaos signal is non-linear, and it is generated randomly according to the initial conditions. Also, chaos communication system has characteristics such as non-periodic, wide-band, non-predictability of signals and easy implementation. So, security of chaos communication system is superior, and it has low interception probability and good anti-jamming characteristic. However, BER performance is worse than digital communication system, because it has many self interference signal in case of CDSK system. To improve these disadvantages, we analyze the PDF trend which can improve the BER performance in existing study, and we proposed a chaos map. And, proposed chaos map was defined as the 'Boss map'. Generally, BER performance is changed according to initial values, parameters and spreading factors. Therefore, in this paper, we will introduce PDF trends which can improve the BER performance, and will describe about Boss map. Also, characteristics of Boss map is analyzed by evaluating the BER performance of Boss map according to initial values, parameters and spreading factors. As a result, while maintaining the similar BER performance, initial value of Boss map can be selected from 0 to 1.2, and BER performance is best when parameter alpha is 2.5. Also, BER performance is best when spreading factor is 50.

Chaos communication systems have the characteristics such as non-periodic, wide-band, non-predictability of signals and easy implementation. There have been many studies about chaos communication systems because of these advantages. But, chaos communication systems have low BER(Bit Error Rate) compare to general digital communication system. Existing researches on chaos communication systems only analyze BER performance according to various chaos maps. There are no studies on analysis of BER performance according to PDF(Probability Density Function) of chaos maps. In this paper, we analyze the BER performance according to changing parameter, equation, and initial values of chaos map's PDF. In addition, we propose new chaos map to improve BER performance. Simulation results show that BER performance of CDSK(Correlation Delay Shift Keying) is changed when PDF of chaos map changed. And the proposed chaos map has a better BER performance compare to previous chaos maps such as Tent map, Logistic map, and Henon map.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the digital modulation schemes described in the APCO Project 25 FDMA specifications which can be used for applying the ultra-narrowband technology to the current domestic simple two-way radio systems, and discuss difficulties in the DSP implementation of the systems. We analyze the effect on the systems' BER performance of receiver non-matched filter and frequency-offset between the transmitter and receiver oscillators. And we present a frequency offset compensation method for improving the system performance. The results of performance analysis showed that the CQPSK of APCO Project 25 using non-matched filter degraded the BER by 0.5～1.0 ㏈ comparing with PI/4 DQPSK using matched filter. In the event of 2 % frequency offset, about 1 ㏈ performance loss was produced at the BER of $$10^{-3}TEX>. With the frequency-offset compensation method implemented in the systems using phase recovery scheme of PSK synchronization detection, the performance degradation of about 1.0 ㏈ was occurred at the BER of $$10^{-3}TEX> for 10 % of frequency offset. The proposed method can be used for the improvement of system performance.

We present a performance improvement of Binary CDMA by flattening the correlation values. A Binary CDMA system, in which multi-leveled transmission signal of multi-code CDMA is clipped into a binary value, is cost-efficient since the strict linearity of the power amplifier is relieved. However, a loss of orthogonality among user channels due to the clipping causes the correlation values at the receiver to have a random distribution. If the correlation value for even a single channel goes too low, the average BER drops considerably. We developed a method of correlation flattening, where the binary chip pattern at the transmitter is adjusted so that the correlation values have averaged magnitude. Experimental results on several spreading codes show that the correlation flattening method increases the number of available channels at reduced BER.

Frequency selective fading is a limiting factor for transmission rate and performance in high-speed multimedia communications. In this paper, we propose a turbo coded adaptive quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) system for efficient high-speed transmission. By making use of a user-friendly simulation platform of SPW, the proposed turbo coded adaptive QAM system(TuAQAM) is developed and its performance is evaluated in terms of throughput and BER performance. Two channel models having delay spreads of 700ns and 1400ns are created for the simulations. It is shown that the proposed TuAQAM system provides a performance improvement of approximately 3dB and improved throughput for the channel model whose delay spread is 700ns. Similarly, a performance improvement is also achieved for the channel model whose delay spread is 1400ns.
