This paper presents a novel user selection method based on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), which is approximated using limited feedback data at the base stations (BSs) of multiple user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, the codebook vector index, the quantization error obtained from the correlation between the measured channel and the codebook vector, and the measured value of the largest singular value are fed back from each user to the BS. The proposed method not only generates precoding vectors that are orthogonal to the precoding vectors of the previously selected users and are highly correlated with the codebook vector of each user but also adopts the quantization error in approximating the SINR, which eventually provides a significantly more accurate SINR than the conventional SINR-based user selection techniques. Computer simulations show that the proposed method enhances the sum rate of the conventional SINR-based methods by at least 2.4 (2.62) bps/Hz when the number of transmit antennas and number of receive antennas per user terminal is 4 and 1(2), respectively, with 100 candidate users and an SNR of 30 dB.

Speech enhancement techniques that remove surrounding noise are stressed to preprocessor of speech recognition. Among the various speech enhancement techniques, Codebook-based Speech Enhancement (CBSE) operates efficiently in non-stationary noise environments. But, CBSE has some problems that inaccurate gains can be estimated if mismatch occur between input noisy signal and trained speech/noise codevectors. In this paper, the Normalized Weighting Factor (NWF) is calculated by long-term noise estimation algorithm based on Signal-to-Noise Ratio, compensated to the conventional inaccurate gains. The proposed CBSE shows better performance than conventional CBSE.

A novel QEGT codebook index searching algorithm for long tenn evolution (LTE) system is proposed. The proposed algorithm divides the Q precoding vectors into M groups, and selects the optimal precoding vector from the selected group at the receiver. This algorithm reduced the calculation for searching the optimal precoding vector index compared to the previous algorithms. The index searching algorithm is implemented for TI's TMS320C6713 DSP board. When the number of transmit antenna is 4, the number of clock cycles is reduced to 25%.

This paper presents a new search region prediction method using vector quantization for the motion estimation. We find motion vectors using the full search BMA from two successive frame images first. Then the motion vectors are used for training a codebook. The trained codebook is the predicted search region. We used the unsupervised neural network for VQ encoding and codebook design. A major advantage of formulating VQ as neural networks is that the large number of adaptive training algorithm that are used for neural networks can be applied to VQ. The proposed method reduces the computation and reduce the bits required to represent the motion vectors because of the smaller search points. The computer simulation results show the increased PSNR as compared with the other block matching algorithms.

A joint design scheme has been proposed to optimize the source encoder and the modulation signal constellation based on the minimization of the end-to-end distortion including both the quantization error and channel distortion. The proposed scheme first optimizes the VQ codebook for a fixed modulation signal set, and then the modulation signals for the fixed VQ codebook. These two steps are iteratively repeated until they reach a local optimum solution. It has been shown that the performance of the proposed system can be enhanced by employing a new efficient mapping scheme between codevectors and modulation signals. Simulation results show that a jointly optimized system based on the proposed algorithms outperforms the conventional system based on a conventional QAM modulation signal set and the VQ codebook designed for a noiseless channel.

In this paper, the system-level performance is evaluated for the feedback scheme on the pre-coding matrix index (PMI) and channel quality indication (CQI), which are required for user selection in the multi-user MIMO system. Our analysis demonstrates that the number of users, the number of selected users, and codebook size are the key factors that govern the performance of the best companion grouping (BCG)-based user scheduling. Accordingly, we have confirmed that the probability of forming the co-scheduled user group is determined by these factors, which implies that the number of PMI's and codebook size can be dynamically determined so as to maximize the average system throughput as the number of users varies in the cell.

LTE-Advanced aims at peak data rates of 1Gbits/s for the downlink and 500 Mbits/s for the uplink, which can be accomplished only by using wide spectrum allocation of 100MHz as well as advanced multiple input multiple output antenna techniques to the uplink. This paper analyzes the uplink precoding techniques which include LTE codebook of downlink, singular value decomposition codebook, and equal gain transmission codebook over LTE defined single carrier frequency division multiplexing systems. Finally considering nonlinear transmit power amplifier model, it is shown that link-level performance of EGT is superior to those of any other precoding schemes.

In this paper, we propose two fast VQ coclebook search algorithms efficient to the Wavelet/ VQ coding schemes. It is well known that the probability having large values in wavelet coefficient blocks is very low. In order to apply this property to codebook search, the index tables of the reordered codebook in each wavelet subband ae used. The exil condition in PDE can be satisfied in an earlystage by comparing the large coefficients of the codeword with their corresponding elements of input vector using the index tbles. As a result, search time can be reduced.

Speech enhancement has been required as a preprocessor for a noise robust speech recognition system. Codebook-based Speech Enhancement (CBSE) is highly robust in nonstationary noise environments compared with conventional noise estimation algorithms. However, its performance is severely degraded for the codevector combinations that have lower correlation with the input signal since CBSE depends on the trained codebook information. To overcome this problem, only the reliable codevector combinations are selected to be used to remove the codevector combinations that have lower correlation with input signal. The proposed method produces the improved performance compared to the conventional CBSE in terms of Log-Spectral Distortion (LSD) and Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ).
