In this paper, we present a simple and general soft bit decision expression for a Gray coded PAM signal over additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel with the log likelihood ratio(LLR). In order to reduce the complexity of the LLR calculation, we make the bitwise LLR expression simple by replacing the mathematical max functions of the conventional Max-Log-MAP expression with simple arithmetic functions associated with some deterministic parameters, such as a received value and distance between symbols on a signal space. Taking the implementation issues, like the area of silicon, the power consumption, the timing latency, and so on, into consideration, we submit that the proposed method is a promising alternative way to conventional methods for reconfigurable systems.

In this paper, we derive the relationship between the bit error probability (BEP) of maximum a posteriori (MAP) bit detection and the bit minimum mean square error (MMSE), that is, the BEP is greater than a quarter of the bit USE and less than a half of the bit MMSE. By using this result, the lower and upper bounds of the derivative of the mutual information are derived from the BEP and the lower and upper bounds are easily obtained in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems with the bit-linear linear-dispersion (BLLD) codes in the Gaussian channel.

In this paper, we consider the construction of cyclic and quasi-cyclic structured q-ary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over a designated small field. The construction is performed with a pre-defined sliding-window, which actually executes the regular mapping from original field to the targeted field under certain parameters. Compared to the original codes, the new constructed codes can provide better flexibility in choice of code rate, code length and size of field. The constructed codes over small fields with code length from tenths to hundreds perform well with q-ary sum-product decoding algorithm (QSPA) over the additive white Gaussian noise channel and are comparable to the improved spherepacking bound. These codes may found applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN), where the delay and energy are extremely constrained.

본 논문에서는 유럽의 디지털 라디오 전송 규격인 DRM(Digital Radio Mondiale)의 Band II 대역 전송 모드인 모드 E의 전송률 향상 기법을 제안한다. DRM 모드 E는 FM 방송과의 동시방송 등의 문제를 고려하여 100kHz 대역폭에서 186kbps의 전송률을 제공한다. 하지만, 이 전송률은 모바일TV 등 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 부족하기 때문에 전송률의 향상이 요구된다. 논문에 제안된 전송률 향상기법은 기존의 DRM 모드에 변조방식 및 부호방식을 추가하는 방식으로 최대 350kbps의 전송률 제공이 가능하며, FAC(Fast Access Channel)의 예약필드에 신규 방식에 대한 정보를 전송함으로써 기존 시스템과 호환성을 유지할 수 있다. 모의실험 결과에서, AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채널의 비트오류율 le-4를 기준으로 223kbps의 전송을 위해서는 13dB의 SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio)이 요구되며, 351kbps의 전송률 제공을 위해서는 약 18dB의 SNR이 요구됨을 확인할 수 있다. 또한, 다중경로 페이딩 채널환경에서 부호율이 1/2인 경우에는 이동속도보다는 지연확산이 성능에 영향을 주지만, 부호율이 1/2 보다 크며 150Km/h이상 증가하면 오류마루가 발생함을 확인할 수 있다.

A novel scheme based on polarization modulation and the weighted fractional Fourier transform (PM-WFRFT) is proposed in this paper to enhance the physical layer security of dual-polarized satellite systems. This scheme utilizes the amplitude and phase of the carrier as information-bearing parameters to transmit the normal signal and conceals the confidential information in the carrier's polarization state (PS). After being processed by WFRFT, the characteristics of the transmit signal (including amplitude, phase and polarization state) vary randomly and in nearly Gaussian distribution. This makes the signal very difficult for an eavesdropper to recognize or capture. The WFRFT parameter is also encrypted by a pseudo-random sequence and updated in real time, which enhances its anti-interception performance. Furthermore, to prevent the polarization-based impairment to PM-WFRFT caused by depolarization in the wireless channel, two components of the polarized signal are transmitted respectively in two symbol periods; this prevents any mutual interference between the two orthogonally polarized components. Demodulation performance in the system was also assessed, then the proposed scheme was validated with a simulated dual-polarized satellite system.

We propose an adaptive threshold detector algorithm for multi-level holographic data storage based on the expectation-maximization (EM) method. In this paper, the signal intensities that are passed through the four-level holographic channel are modeled as a four Gaussian mixture with unknown DC offsets and the threshold levels are estimated based on the maximum likelihood criterion. We compare the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed algorithm with the non-adaptive threshold detection algorithm for various levels of DC offset and misalignments. Our proposed algorithm shows consistently acceptable performance when the DC offset variance is fixed or the misalignments are lower than 20%. When the DC offset varies with each page, the BER of the proposed method is acceptable when the misalignments are lower than 10% and DC offset variance is 0.001.

In this paper, a new soft-fusion approach for multiple-receiver wireless communication systems is proposed. In the proposed approach, each individual receiver provides the central receiver with a confidence level rather than a binary decision. The confidence levels associated with the local receiver are modeled by means of soft-membership functions. The proposed approach can be applied to wireless digital communication systems, such as amplitude shift keying, frequency shift keying, phase shift keying, multi-carrier code division multiple access, and multiple inputs multiple outputs sensor networks. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated and compared to the performance of the optimal diversity, majority voting, optimal partial decision, and selection diversity in case of binary noncoherent frequency shift keying on a Rayleigh faded additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the proposed approach achieves considerable performance improvement over optimal partial decision, majority voting, and selection diversity. It is also shown that the proposed approach achieves a performance comparable to the optimal diversity scheme.

Conventional synchronization algorithms for impulse radio require high-speed sampling and a precise local clock. Here, a phase-locked loop (PLL) scheme is introduced to acquire and track periodical impulses. The proposed impulse PLL (iPLL) is analyzed under an ideal Gaussian noise channel and multipath environment. The timing synchronization can be recovered directly from the locked frequency and phase. To make full use of the high harmonics of the received impulses efficiently in synchronization, the switching phase detector is applied in iPLL. It is capable of obtaining higher loop gain without a rise in timing errors. In different environments, simulations verify our analysis and show about one-tenth of the root mean square errors of conventional impulse synchronizations. The developed iPLL prototype applied in a high-speed ultra-wideband transceiver shows its feasibility, low complexity, and high precision.

In this paper, we analyzed the performance improvement of the DS-CDMA/dPSK cellular mobile communication system with CCI canceller and RAKE receiver techniques in mobile radio channel which is characterized by AWGN, Multi-user interference (mUI) and frequency-selective rayleigh fading. System capacity i.e., number of user per cell has been derived and the evaluated results are shown in figuraes as a function of PN code sequence length, number of RAKE receiver tap, BER and E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$. The voice activity factor is assumed to be 3/8 the number of sectors in a cell 3 and MUI is modeled as gaussian process. From the results, the capacity of the DS-CDMA/DPSK cellular mobile communication system is improved by adopting CCI canceller. When we adopt the RAKE receiver to mitigate the multipath fading, the error performance is improved and the amount of improvement is proportional ot the number of taps L in the case that each tap contains a signal component and the better of improvement can be obtained, the smaller of the SNR difference in each tap. The system capacity is more increased when the CCI canceller and the RAKE receiver is used in cascade.

The WLAN(IEEE 802.l1b) and Bluetooth(IEEE 802.15.1) employed on 2.4㎓ ISM band wireless networks provide complementary services within the same environments. Coexistence between the networks will be impaired, if the mutual packets are uncertainty associated the timing or gaussian distance. This paper analyzes the impact of the mutual interference on the services performance in order to develope a method of coexistence between the WLAN and Bluetooth. The analysis is illustrated by examining the symbol error rate versus signal to noise interference ratio in terms of the carrier frequency of set.
