본논문에서는 LFM (Linear Frequency Modulated) 신호를 사용하는 능동소나에서 적은 연산량으로 표적반사신호의 시간지연과 도플러를 추정하는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 기법에서는 일반적인 추정기법들이 가지는 연산량의 문제를 해결하기 위해 LFM 신호의 상호모호함수 (cross ambiguity function)에서 시간지연과 도플러의 관계를 나타내는 대수적인 관계식을 이용하였다. FML (Fast Maximum Likelihood) 기법을 기반으로 하여 시간지연과 도플러의 대수적 관계식을 유도하였으며, 이를 이용하여 일반적인 2차원 탐색 대신 2번의 1차원 탐색으로 시간지연과 도플러를 추정하였다. 다양한 신호대 잡음비 (SNR)에서 제안한 알고리즘의 추정오차를 분석하였으며, 제안한 알고리즘이 우수한 추정 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed Channel Transfer Function estimation based on Delay and Doppler Profile for underwater acoustic OFDM communication system. It improved the estimation accuracy of the channel transfer function by linear time interpolation the change of Scattered Pilot (SP) insertion frequency in the time direction and the time by Delay and Doppler profile that analyzes the multipath situation of the channel investigated the performance of interpolation by simulation and report it. Previous works is inserted SP every 4 OFDM. It was effective under the environment without multipath, but it has observed that the effect of CTF compensation has been lowered in multipath channel condition. In addition to be better when inserted SP every 2 OFDM. But the amount of sending data will be decrease. Therefore, we conducted research to improve 4 OFDM with new interpolator. A computer simulation was performed as a comparison of SP inserted every 4 OFDM, SP inserted every 2 OFDM, and 4 OFDM with new interpolator. the performance of the proposed system is overwhelmingly improved, and the performance is slightly improved even 64 QAM.

Orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation is considered as one of the solutions to cope with high mobility channel environments. It converts the time-varying channel to the near-constant channel response in the delay-Doppler domain. This modulation scheme also benefits from the diversity in two-dimensional modulation. According to recent researches, this method outperforms the conventional OFDM modulation, especially in high-speed channel conditions. In this paper, to investigate the performance of OTFS in a practical system, channel estimation in the delay-Doppler domain is compared with the conventional method in the time-frequency domain at different mobile speeds. Simulation results confirm that the delay-Doppler domain channel estimation brings a better performance compared to the conventional one under the same overhead rate.

In Japan, high-speed ground transportation service using linear motors at speeds of 500 km/h is scheduled to begin in 2027. To accommodate 5G services in trains, a subcarrier spacing frequency of 30 kHz will be used instead of the typical 15 kHz subcarrier spacing to mitigate Doppler effects in such high-speed transport. Furthermore, to increase the cell size of the 5G mobile system, multiple base station antennas will transmit identical downlink (DL) signals to form an expanded cell size along the train rails. In this situation, the forward and backward antenna signals are Doppler-shifted in opposite directions, respectively, so the receiver in the train may suffer from estimating the exact Channel Transfer Function (CTF) for demodulation. In a previously published paper, we proposed a channel estimator based on Delay and Doppler Profiler (DDP) in a 5G SISO (Single Input Single Output) environment and successfully implemented it in a signal processing simulation system. In this paper, we extend it to 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) with spatial multiplexing environment and confirm that the delay and DDP based channel estimator is also effective in 2×2 MIMO environment. Its simulation performance is compared with that of a conventional time-domain linear interpolation estimator. The simulation results show that in a 2×2 MIMO environment, the conventional channel estimator can barely achieve QPSK modulation at speeds below 100 km/h and has poor CNR performance versus SISO. The performance degradation of CNR against DDP SISO is only 6dB to 7dB. And even under severe channel conditions such as 500km/h and 8-path inverse Doppler shift environment, the error rate can be reduced by combining the error with LDPC to reduce the error rate and improve the performance in 2×2 MIMO. QPSK modulation scheme in 2×2 MIMO can be used under severe channel conditions such as 500 km/h and 8-path inverse Doppler shift environment.

A 500 km/h linear motor high speed terrestrial transportation service is planned to launch 2027 in Japan. In order to support 5G service in the train, the Sub-carrier spacing frequency of 30 kHz is planned to be used instead of common 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing to mitigate Doppler effect in such high-speed transportation. In addition, to increase the cell size of 5G mobile system, plural Base Station antenna will transmit the identical Down Link (DL) signal to form the expanded cell size along the train rail. In this situation, forward and backward antenna signals will be Doppler shifted by reverse direction respectively and the receiver in the train might suffer to estimate accurate Channel Transfer Function (CTF) for its demodulation. In this paper, Delay and Doppler Profiler (DDP) based Channel Estimator is proposed and it is successfully implemented in signal processing simulation system. Then the simulated performances are compared with the conventional Time domain linear interpolated estimator. According to the simulation results, QPSK modulation can be used even under severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 2 path reverse Doppler Shift condition, although QPSK modulation can be used less than 200 km/h with conventional Channel estimator.

This paper studied a method of estimating target information using a radar in wireless communication. Position information on the target can be estimated angle, distance and velocity. The velocity information can be estimated since the Doppler frequency is changed in the moving target. The signal incident on the receiving array antenna is multiplied by the delay time and the reference signal to represent the output signal. This output signal is estimated by applying FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) after calculating signal correlation through correlation integrator. Since the output signal must be calculated within the correlator, it should be processed with the Dwell time. The correlation signal of the correlation integrator outside this Dwell time is indicated by the velocity measurement error. The FFT is applied to the signal that has passed through the correlated integrator in order to estimate the distance of the signal. The Doppler resolution must be improved because the FFT estimates target information using the Doppler information. The Doppler resolution decreases with increasing the integration time. The velocity information estimation should have no spread of the velocity. As a result of the simulation, there was no spread of the target velocity in this study.

An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication system has drawn wide attention for its high transmission rate and high spectrum efficiency in not only radio but also Underwater Acoustic (UWA) applications. Because of the narrow sub-carrier spacing of OFDM, orthogonality between sub-carriers is easily affected by Doppler effect caused by the movement of transmitter or receiver. Previously, Doppler compensation signal processing algorithm for Desired propagation path was proposed. However, other Doppler shifts caused by delayed Undesired signal arriving from different directions cannot be perfectly compensated. Then Receiver Bit Error Rate (BER) is degraded by Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) caused in the case of Multi-path Doppler channel. To mitigate the ICI effect, a modified Delay and Doppler Profiler (mDDP), which estimates not only attenuation, relative delay and Doppler shift but also sampling clock shift of each multi-path component, is proposed. Based on the outputs of mDDP, an ICI canceling multi-tap equalizer is also proposed. Computer simulated performances of one-tap equalizer with the conventional Time domain linear interpolated Channel Transfer Function (CTF) estimator, multi-tap equalizer based on mDDP are compared. According to the simulation results, BER improvement has been observed. Especially, in the condition of 16QAM modulation, transmitting vessel speed of 6m/s, two-path multipath channel with direct path and ocean surface reflection path; more than one order of magnitude BER reduction has been observed at CNR=30dB.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 2-D MMSE (2-Dimensional Minimum Mean Square Error) 채널 추정 기법은 주파수/시간 선택적 특성을 가지는 채널에서 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 2-D MMSE 채널 추정 방식은 주파수 축 뿐만 아니라 시간 축 까지 고려하기 때문에 행렬 크기가 커지고, 이로 인해 복잡도가 크게 증가한다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 l-D MMSE 채널 추정 구조를 기반으로 가중치 합을 이용하여 기존의 2-D MMSE 채널 추정 방식보다 낮은 복잡도를 갖는 방식을 제안한다. 뿐만 아니라 2-D MMSE 채널 추정을 적용하기 위해 필요한 파라미터인 RMS 지연 확산과 도플러 주파수를 추정하는 기법을 고려한다. 성능 검증 결과 제안하는 방식은 기존의 2-D MMSE 방식에 비해서 복잡도를 크게 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 2-D MMSE 채널 추정 방법과 유사한 성능을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

일반적인 OFDM/QAM 변조 방식은 연속된 심볼 사이에 보호구간 (guard interval)을 삽입함으로서 시간 영역에서 다중경로채널에 강한 특성을 가지지만, 도플러 효과에 의한 주파수 영역에서의 채널 간 간섭에 약한 특성을 보인다. 이에 반해 OFDM/OQAM 변조 방식은 시간과 주파수 영역에서 직교성을 가지는 IOTA (Isotropic Orthogonal Transform Algorithm) 필터를 사용하여 이동 환경에서 지연 확산(delay spread)과 도플러 효과(doppler effect) 에 강한 특성을 보이며, 보호구간을 사용하지 않아 OFDM/QAM 시스템에 비하여 주파수 효율을 현저하게 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM/OQAM-IOTA 시스템의 물리 구조 및 OFDM/OQAM-IOTA 시스템을 위한 perfect channel estimation 방식을 제시하고, AWGN 및 1-path Rayleigh fading 채널 환경에서 OFDM/OQAM-IOTA 시스템과 일반적인 OFDM/QAM 시스템의 성능을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 의하면, OFDM/OQAM-IOTA 방식이 OFDM/QAM 방식보다 성능이 우수함을 알 수 있다.

This paper proposed an Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) Canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver for 5G mobile system to support 500 km/h linear motor high speed terrestrial transportation service. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceler is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number 𝒏 to receiver sub-carrier number 𝒍 is generated. In case of 𝒏≠𝒍, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 2 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, for modulation schemes below 16QAM, we confirmed that the difference between BER in a 2 path reverse Doppler shift environment and stationary environment at a moving speed of 500 km/h was very small when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 taps or more. We also confirmed that the BER performance in high-speed mobile communications for multi-level modulation schemes above 64QAM is dramatically improved by the use of a multi-tap equalizer.
