본 논문에서는 대역폭 효율을 향상시키는 공간 변조(spatial modulation) 다중 안테나 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템은 다중 송신 안테나 중 하나의 안테나를 사용하여 채널 간에 간섭을 피할 수 있어서 다중 경로가 많은 실내 환경에서 적합하다. 그러나 심벌 전송 구간마다 한 개의 안테나만을 선택하여 전송하므로 다중 안테나의 최대 부호 이득을 얻을 수 없다. 이를 극복하기 위하여 시공간블록부호화 방식을 적용한 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템은 두 개의 안테나를 사용하여 수신 성능을 향상시키지만 대역폭 효율이 향상되지 않는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Hybrid STBC 시스템을 적용한 공간 변조를 제안하여 공간 변조 다중 안테나 시스템의 대역폭 효율을 개선한다.

It is well-known that the performance of turbo codes can be improved by allocating different energies per code symbol. In this paper, based on this observation, we propose a joint encoding and modulation scheme for quadrature amplitude modulated turbo code systems. In the proposed scheme, the amount of energy difference between the turbo coded symbols is optimized by optimizing the constellation of quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM). The proposed scheme offers better coding gain compared to the conventional combination of binary turbo code and QAM at the bit error rate of $10^{-5}$.

In this paper, the idea of using a multiple symbol obervation interval to improve error probability performance is applied to differential detection of MTCM(multiple trellis code modulation) with ${\Pi}$/4 shift QPSK, 8DPSK and 16DPSK. We propose two types of sliding multiple symbol differential detection algorithm, type 1 and type 2. The two types of sliding detection scheme are examined and compared with conventional(symbol-by-symbol) detection and bolck detection with these modulation formats in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) using the Monte Carlo simulation. We show that the amount of improvement over conventional and block detection depends on the number of phases and the number of additional symbol intervals added to the observation. Computer simulagtion results are presented for 2,4,8 states in AWGN channel.

In this paper, a trellis-coded 3-dimensional (3-D) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is presented and its performance is analyzed. Here, a set-partitioning technique for trellis coding with respect to a 3-D signal constellation is also presented. We show theoretically that the proposed system, which exploits a trellis coding scheme with recursive systematic convolutional codes (RSC) of code rate R = 1/3 and 2/3, can improve symbol error rate (SER) up to 7.8 dB as compared with the uncoded OFDM system in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Computer simulation confirms that the theoretical analysis of the proposed system is very accurate. It is, therefore, considered that the proposed trellis-coded 3-D OFDM system is well suited for the high quality digital transmission system without increase in the available bandwidth.

In this paper, we propose group Manchester code (GM) modulation scheme for medical in-body wireless body area network (WBAN) systems. In IEEE, the WBAN system is assigned as 802.15. Task Group 6 (TG 6), and the related standardization is being progressed, Recently, in this Group, group pulse position modulation (GPPM), which can obtain data rate increase by grouping pulse position modulation (PPM) symbols, is proposed as a new modulation scheme for low-power operation of WBAN system. However, the conventional method suffers from BER performance degradation due to the absence of gray coding and its demodulation characteristics. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a modified GM scheme which groups Manchester code instead of PPM. In the proposed GM scheme, a low-complexity maximum likelihood (ML) demodulation method is employed in order to maximize the BER performances, Also, log likelihood ratio (LLR) decision method is proposed to employ the Turbo code as forward error correction (FEC), Finally, we verified that the proposed method has a good performance and is an appropriate scheme for in-body WBAN system through extensive performance evaluation.

In this paper, the network performance of a turbo coded optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system with cross-layer, which is between physical and network layers, concept is analyzed and simulated. We consider physical and MAC layers in a cross-layer concept. An intensity-modulated/direct-detection (IM/DD) optical system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) for satellite broadcasting communications is considered. In order to increase the system performance, turbo codes composed of parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCCs) is utilized. The network performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BEP). From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity. Also, it is confirmed that the performance of such an optical CDMA network can be substantially improved by increasing the interleaver length and the number of iterations in the decoding process. The results of this paper can be applied to implement the satellite broadcasting communications.

In this paper, we propose a bitwise information decomposition algorithm for an M-PSK signal based on the Max-Log-MAP algorithm. In order to obtain the algorithm, we use a coordinate transformation from M-PSK to M-PAM signal space. Using the proposed algorithm, we analyze the performance of a Turbo iterative decoding method. The proposed algorithm can be applicable not only for a communication with PSK and iterative decoding method but for adaptive modulation and coding system.

This paper studies the performance of STTC with minimum Hamming distance (MHD) mapping in order to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance. Unfortunately, the MHD mapping used in trellis coded modulation (TCM) or multiple trellis coded modulation (MTCM) cannot be directly applied to STTC because the trellis structure of STTC is generally different from that of TCM or MTCM. Therefore, we need a simple modification to apply the MHD mapping concept in STTC. The core of the modification assigns information bits with a Hamming distance in proportion to the sum of the Euclidean distance to trellis branch of STTC. To the best knowledge, this combination has not been considered yet. The BER performance is examined with simulations and the performance of MHD mapping is compared to that of well known natural mapping and Gray mapping on both fast Rayleigh as well as fast Rician fading channels. It is shown that the performance of MHD mapping is much better than that of natural mapping or Gray mapping over fast Rician fading channels, especially.

In this paper, we propose an efficient iteration control method with low complexity for Turbo TCM(Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation) decoding which will be used fur power-limited environment. As the decoding approaches the performance limit of a given turbo code, any further iteration results in very little improvement. Therefore, it is important to devise an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary computations and decoding delay. This paper presents an efficient algorithm for turbo TCM decoding that can greatly reduce the delay and iteration number. The proposed method use adaptive iteration number according to the criterion using the extrinsic information variance parameter in turbo TCM decoding process. The simulation results show that the proposed technique effectively can reduce the decoding delay and computation with very little performance degradation.

High spectral efficiency can be obtained by adaptive modulation in which the modulation scheme is changed according to the channel environment. Thus it is especially suitable to mobile channel which is a typical example of time-varying channel. It is required to determine the optimum thresholds of signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) to change the modulation scheme effectively according to mobile speeds. Thus the optimum thresholds for specific mobile speeds to get the required bit error rate(BER) of $10^{-6}$ are obtained with the powerful turbo code in this paper. In addition, the optimum thresholds for the continuous mobile speed are proposed by interpolation of the obtained results. And the error performance and average spectral efficiency are investigated at various mobile speeds and channel environments.
