It is well known the fact that turbo lodes has better performance as the number of iteration and the interleaver size increases in the AWGN channel environment. However, as the number of iteration and the interleaver size are increased, it is required much delay and computation for iterative decoding, and caused the flattening effect phenomenon which is very litter BER performance improvement at the arbitrary SNR. In this paper, We proposed the new asymmetric turbo codes, which consist of parallel concatenated turbo codes that use mixed types of component codes with different not only constraint length but also generate polynomial and analyzed its BER performance for log-MAP decoding algorithm with frame size of 128, 256, 512 and 1024 bits, and coding rate of 1/3. As a results of simulation, proposed asymmetric turbo codes verify that its BER performance is superior to conventional symmetric turbo codes. It can be also observed that the flattening effect phenomenon is very reduced by applying the proposed asymmetric turbo codes. It gains respectively 1.7dB ~2.5dB and 2.0dB~2.5dB SNR improvements in the case of short frame(128, 256) and large frame(512, 1024) size for the BER $10_{-4}$>/TEX> region.

This paper proposes a multimodal generalized Gaussian distribution (MGGD) to effectively model the varying statistical properties of the extrinsic information. A subsidiary maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) algorithm is subsequently developed to dynamically select the most suitable MGGD parameters to be used in the component maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoders at each decoding iteration to derive the more reliable metrics performance enhancement. Simulation results show that, for a wide range of block lengths, the proposed approach can enhance the overall turbo decoding performance for both parallel and serially concatenated codes in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), Rician, and Rayleigh fading channels.

다중 사용자 DS-CDMA 시스템에서 더 나은 성능을 얻고자 컨볼루션 코드와 차등 코드의 직렬 연쇄 구조를 제안한다. 시스템은 접속 간섭 (MAI: Multiple-access Interference)를 억제하기 위해 다른 사용자의 확산 코드, 동기, 그리고 전력 정보 등을 필요로 하지 않는 단일 사용자 검파기(SUD: Single User Detection)로 이루어진다. 채널 부호로 사용된 부호화율 1과 메모리 수 1을 가지는 차등 부호는 부호화로 인한 효율 저하를 가져오지 않으며 최소 상태수를 가지게 된다. 이러한 차등 부호와 컨볼루션 부호를 복호함에 있어서 서로간의 정보를 교환하는 반복 복호 처리를 이용한다. AWGN 채널에서의 분석 결과로부터 본 연쇄 부호 기법이 DS-CDMA 시스템에서 기존의 컨볼루션 코드보다 유사한 복잡도에서 더 나은 성능과 유연성을 제공함을 알 수 있다. 또한 제안한 기법이 SUD를 하는 DS-CDMA 시스템에 적용될 때, 처리 이득(Processing Gain)이나 간섭 억제 여파기의 탭 개수를 증가시킴으로써 성능 향상이 일어나며, 원근 간섭 전력 문제가 심한 경우에 성능 저하가 일어남을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we extend the derivation of the iterative soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) for partial response (PR) channels, and modify its decoding process such that it works consistently for arbitrary high code rates, e.g., rate 64/65. We show that the modified SOVA always outperforms the conventional SOVA that appears in the literature with a significant difference for high code rates. It also offers a significant cut down in the trace-back computations. We further examine its performance for parallel and serial concatenated codes on a precoded Class IC partial response (PR4) channel. Code rates of the form $\frac{k_0}{k_0+1}$($k_0$ = 4, 8, and 64) are considered. Our simulations indicate that the loss suffered by the modified SOVA, relative to the APP algorithm, is consistent for all code rates and is at most 1.2 dB for parallel concatenations and at most 1.6 dB for serial concatenations at $P_b$ = $10^{-5}$.

In this paper we present a novel method of applying image scrambling technology which belongs to the information hiding field in the error control coding to introduce confidentiality in wireless machine to machine communication. The interleaver in serial concatenated convolutional codes, which is the key module in overcoming burst errors, is deliberately designed with the scrambling function to provide a low error rate for those authorized transceivers. By contrast, the unauthorized transceivers without keys would get so high an error rate that decoding bits could bring little value, thus realizing both the confidentiality and reliability in wireless machine to machine communication.

Hierarchical modulation technology which can make the advanced T-DMB(terrestrial-digital multimedia broadcasting) system backward compatible with the conventional T-DMB system and provide high-rate and high-quality services is introduced in this paper. As additional data streams are embedded within the conventional data streams by the hierarchical modulation, the advanced T-DMB system can provide high-quality video service and more broadcasting service channels. In order to guarantee the quality of both the conventional and additional services powerful error correcting scheme is required. The error performance of advanced T-DMB system with hierarchical modulation is investigated and analyzed according to the various error correcting schemes in this paper.

In this paper, we present an efficient cooperative transmission scheme for high speed 60GHz WPAN system. In 60GHz, the cooperative transmission with relay is effective scheme because signals are exceedingly attenuated according to the distance and the transmission is impossible when there is no LOS between transmitter and receiver. Moreover, the reliability of signal in destination can be improved by receiving data from a relay as well as a transmitter. However, the overall data rate is reduced because transmission time is more required for relay. To solve this problem, we propose a cooperative transmission scheme with RS-CC serial concatenated codes. In the proposed cooperative transmission scheme, the relay can reduce the transmission data size because the only parity bits of systematic RS code are transmitted after encoding by CC. But the computational complexity is increased at the relay and the destination.

The dual-stream based stereoscopic 3D HDTV broadcasting service was launched recently. Although the dual-stream based HDTV service has been successfully provided, the 3D HDTV broadcasting system requires more bandwidth efficient transmission schemes because it should convey both left and right HD resolution images simultaneously in the finite 6MHz bandwidth. In this paper, we consider more advanced ATSC transmission schemes that use higher modulation such as 16-QAM and concatenated RS code and block LDPC codes. Compared with conventional ATSC system and the modified ATSC system in [2], the proposed system has about 2.97dB and 1.12dB SNR gain at the payload data rate of 19.44Mbps compared with the existing ATSC system and the modified ATSC system [2]. Also, the proposed scheme requires only 1.05dB power increase for the 3D HDTV service, which is reasonable SNR increase value and applicable to the advanced 3D high definition broadcasting realization in limited 6MHz bandwidth.

In this paper, the performance of IS-95B CDMA system adopting multi-code scheme for data service on the forward link is obtained by theoretical analysis and computer simulation. The wireless channel is assumed to include AWGN, MUI(Multi-User Interference), and MPI(Multi-Path Interference), and multipath Rayleigh fading modeled by TDL(Tapped Delay Line). To obtain actual performance, IS-95B system using PN codes(M-sequence) concatenated with Walsh codes is considered. The BER performance of voice/data service satisfying QoS requirement and the maximum capacity of voice users is derived in terms of various system parameters(voice activity factor, required SNR of voice/data users, the number of multi-codes, the number of voice/data users.,etc.). As a result, under the condition that the maximum allowable number of voice user is 38 in voice only system, as the number of multi-code is decreased by 1, the maximum allowable number of voice user is increased by 5% for system with 1 data user and 22.3% for system with 4 data users. Therefore, it is possible to increase maximum allowable number of users in IS-95B CDMA system by appropriate control of the number of multi-codes and required SNR according to channel environment and traffic characteristic.

In this paper, we analyzed efficient decoding scheme with FTN(Faster than Nyquist) method that is transmission method faster than Nyquist theory and increase the throughput. Applying the FTN method to satellite and underwater communication, we proposed an efficient transceiver model. To minimize ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference) induced by FTN signal, turbo equalization algorithms that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between Viterbi equalizer based on BCJR algorithm and LDPC decoder are used in satellite communication. In others, for underwater communication, DFE equalizer and LDPC decoder are concatenated to improve performance.
