Antenna selection based MIMO schedulers are proposed to achieve the optimal performance with low complexity in uplink multiuser MIMO/FDD system. In this paper, three heuristic schedulers are proposed to approach the optimal performance which is achieved by the optimal Brute-Force Scheduler. Two search methods called sub-set and full-set way are also discussed to set up the antenna channels to be the candidates of the scheduler. Simulation results show that the sum rate and BER performance of the proposed CSS and SOAS schemes are about the same to that of the brute-force scheduler with affordable complexity, while RC-SOAS with further reduced complexity achieves almost the optimal performance in the case of small number of antennas. Moreover, the complexity can be additionally reduced by the sub-set search method when the number of transmit and receive antennas are 2 respectively, which is applicable in the realistic systems.

In this paper, we propose a simple open loop transmit diversity (TD) scheme for the wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) systems in Rician multipath fading channels such as rural area or satellite channels where line-of-sight (LOS) paths are in presence. The proposed scheme does not require any pre-processing of transmit data, resulting in simpler structure as compared to conventional closed loop transmit adaptive array (TxAA) and open loop space-time transmit diversity (STTD). We analytically derive the probability density function of signal-to-noise ratio at the Rake receiver output and the uncoded bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme. Extensive simulation is Performed to verify the analytical performance of the proposed scheme under typical Rician multipath fading channel environments. Moreover, comparative results with the conventional TxAA and STTD are also provided. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme shows slightly better performance than the conventional open loop STTD under the channels with very weak LOS components, however, it significantly outperforms the STTD under the channels with dominant LOS components, and achieves a close performance of ideal closed loop TxAA.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of phase noise and frequency offset that cause performance degradation. Basically, we like to propose reduced PNFS(Phase Noise and Frequency offset Suppression) algorithm. The OFDM system is seriously affected by ICI component such as phase noise, frequency offset and Doppler effects. Especially, complicated processing algorithm with high complexity was required it in order to compensate those ICI components. So, we propose PNFS algorithm that can decrease complexity and compensate ICI components. We propose a method decreased complexity by approximation of parameters that affect slightly performance change and compare the quantity of conventional and revised PNFS algorithm. Also, simulation shows that BER performance of revised PNFS algorithm can be improved slightly.

To compensate signal loss due to the channel blockage in satellite communication link, we propose a cooperative communication scheme for OTM(On-The-Move) terminal in next generation satellite communication systems. The proposed scheme configures cooperation subnet with adjacent OTM terminal with the help of ground communication equipment. Shared data is spread by orthogonal spreading code, then the spread sequences are transmitted simultaneously. The receiver combines the power of received signals by EGC(Equal gain combining). The OTM terminal blockage channel is modeled by 2-state Markov chain. We evaluate the bit error rate according to the blockage channel of the channel state for the performance analysis of the proposed scheme. As a result, the proposed scheme shows better BER performance than traditional scheme with the help of subset members. In particular, the proposed scheme shows superior performance as the channel block probability is higher. However, as the number of subset members is increasing, there is a constraint because of the higher multiple access interference.

In this paper, the performance of linear and hard-limiting correlation receivers for DS/SSMA BPSK power line communication system is analyzed. Strong impulsive noise of power line is modeled with Chan's noise model, and the performance of both receivers is analyzed in terms of parameters such as ratio of power spectrum density of impulsive noise to that background noise, ratio in impulsive noise width th that of data bit, and interarrival time of impulsive noise. And also multiple access capacity is evaluated with Gaussian approximation of multiple access interference. The results of this analysis reveal that the performance of linear correlation receiver is superior to that of hard-limiting correlation receiver when $N_1/N_b$ is small and is close to 1. But the BER and the multiple access capacity of hard-limiting correlation receiver becomes better in comparison with linear correlation receiver as $N_1/N_b$ increases.

Noncoherent receivers are favored for block-code-modulated ultrawideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) systems because of their low implementation complexity compared with coherent rake receivers. However, existing noncoherent schemes, such as transmitted reference (TR) systems and averaged differential receivers (ADR), suffer from performance degradation and energy efficiency loss. Codeword matching and signal aggregation (CMSA) is a low complexity noncoherent receiver for UWB-IR. As the frame/symbol duration is shortened to boost data rate, interframe interference (IFI) or intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs and degrades the detection performance of CMSA. In this paper, block coded correlator which consists of the delay components and the reference signal is proposed to improve the performance of the receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed system leads to the better performance compared to the conventional CMSA receiver.

Time-variant sea surface causes a forward scattering and Doppler spreading in received signal on underwater acoustic communication system. This results in time-varying amplitude, frequency and phase variation of the received signal. In such a way the channel coherence bandwidth and fading feature also change with time. Consequently, the system performance is degraded and high-speed coherent digital communication is disrupted. In this paper, quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) performance is examined in two different sea surface conditions. The impact of sea surface scattering on performance is analyzed on basis of the channel impulse response and temporal coherence using linear frequency modulation (LFM) signal. The impulse response and the temporal coherence of the rough sea surface condition were more unstable and less than that of the calm sea surface condition, respectively. By relating these with time variant envelope, amplitude and phase of received signal, it was found that the bit error rate (BER) of QPSK are closely related to time variation of sea surface state.

In this paper, we propose a new interference cancellation(IC) receiver for multirate Multicarrier DS/CDMA(MC DS/CDMA) system based on orthogonal variable spreading factor(OVSF) code. The users are assigned different lengths of OVSF codes as a spreading code according to their data rates and the active users having same representative code split into a group for effective cancellation. The code grouping interference cancellation(IC) receiver performs cancellation between the groups first and cancellation within group. This proposed IC receiver can cancel the interferences using desired user's code information and then desired signals are detected. The results show that the large improvement in performance can be attained by group-wise IC scheme and we can make the effective systems compare to conventional ones. The bit error rate of the system is analytically derived in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel and we also compare the system performance with that of multirate DS/CDMA system. We also analyze the performance of the proposed system with same bandwidth and processing gain. The results show the large improvement in performance that can be attained by cancellation scheme.

The OFDMA Physical layer in the WiMAX standard of IEEE 802.16e adopts 114 LDPC codes with various code rates and block sizes as a channel coding scheme to meet varying channel environments and different requirements for transmission performance. In this paper, the performances of the LDPC codes are evaluated according to various code rates and block-lengths throueh simulation studies using min-sum decoding algorithm in AWGN chamois. As the block-length increases and the code rate decreases, the BER performance improves. In the cases with code rates of 2/3 and 3/4, where two different codes ate specified for each code rate, the codes with code rates of 2/3A and 3/4B outperform those of 2/3B and 3/4A, respectively. Through the statistical analyses of the number of decoding iterations the decoding complexity and the word error rates of LDPC codes are estimated. The results can be used to trade-off between the performance and the complexity in designs of LDPC decoders.

In this paper, the bit error performance for the reverse link of a synchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system employing an imperfect power control scheme over a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel is analyzed. The system capacity degradation due to power control error (PCE), which is approximated by a log-normally distributed random variable, is estimate as a function of a standard deviation of the PCE. In addition, the impact of the multipath intensity profile (MIP) shape and the number of resolvable paths on the performance of the synchronous transmission is investigated. To estimate the system capacity, the coded bit error performance is evaluated and compared with the conventional CDMA. It is found tat synchronous transmission has less sensitivity to imperfect power control and eases the power control requirements. In particular, as the decay constant $\delta$ of MIP increases, the synchronous transmission in the DS-CDMA reverse link results in a significant BER improvement over the asynchronous transmission even in the presence of imperfect power control. We further conclude that the capacity can be improved by employing the synchronous transmission.
