An OFDM/offset QAM (OQAM)-IOTA system uses the isotropic orthogonal transform algorithm (IOTA) function, which has good localization properties in the time and frequency domains. This is employed instead of the guard interval used in a conventional OFDM/QAM system in order to be robust for multi-path channels. However, the conventional channel estimation scheme is not valid for an OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system due to the intrinsic inter-symbol interference of the IOTA function. In this paper, a condition is derived to reduce the intrinsic interference of the IOTA function. This condition is obtained with the proposed pilot structure used for perfect channel estimation. We also derive the preamble structure appropriate for practical channel estimation of the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system. Simulation results show that the OFDM/OQAM-IOTA system with the proposed preamble structure performs better than the conventional OFDM system, and it has the additional advantage of an increased data transmission rate which corresponds to the guard interval retrieval.

The third generation mobile communications system requiring the reliable multimedia data transmission has provided with the reliable voice, data and video services over the variable propagation environment. However the broadband wireless multiple access technologies cause Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) or Multiple Access Interference (MAI) to degrade the performance of W-CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system. Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) which is frequently used as the adaptive blind equalizers to remove the interfering signal has ill-convergence phenomenon without proper initialization. In this paper, new blind equalization method based on conventional CMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency, and through computer simulation this is tested over the time varying fading environment of mobile communication system. Consequently, new blind equalization method into concatenated Kalman filter with CMA is verified better than conventional CMA through adopting minimum mean square errors and eye-pattern obtained from algorithm are compared.

In this paper. we presented 1 & 2 dimensional minimum mean-squared-error (MMSE) equalization scheme in a digital holographic data storage system to improve bit-error-rate (BER) and to mitigate inter-symbol interference (ISI) which were generated during the data storage and retrieval processes. We showed experimentally for ten data pages retrieved from the holographic storage system that BER and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were improved by adopting MMSE equalization.

To investigate the equalizer performance in underwater acoustic communication m the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath, computer simulations are carried out in discrete multipath shallow water channels for three different horizontal ranges. For the purpose of computation simplicity, least mean square (LMS) algorithm is adopted both in linear equalizer and nonlinear equalizer, decision feedback equalizer (DFE) to cancel out ISI effects. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals have been transmitted with high data rate of 2000bps through the use of equalization technique. The results demonstrate that equalization is an efficient way to achieve high transmission data rate in the shallow water channel.

In this paper, we compare the performance of wavelet OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and FD-OFDM(Frequency diversity OFDM) system with conventional OFDM system. Wavelet OFDM system uses wavelet transform rather than Fourier transform and contains intermediate characteristics of CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) and OFDM. In wavelet OFDM system, inter-symbol interference (ISI) can be suppressed effectively and adjacent channel interference can be also minimized well. In FD-OFDM system, each parallel branch symbol is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. FD-OFDM contains the frequency diversity characteristic and, therefore, FD-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. For the comparison among different systems, BER (Bit-Error Rate) performances are evaluated in the presence of narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channel. From the evaluation results, compared to the conventional OFDM, wavelet OFDM and FD-OFDM shows better robustness against the interference and, especially, wavelet OFDM is the most robust in harmonic noise channel.

QPSK (Quaternary Phase Shift Keying) will be adopted as the modulation of HRIT (High Rate Information Transmission) which is transmitted to COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) through HPA (High Power Amplifier) in ground segment. Due to the nonlinearity of HPA, IMD (Inter-Modulation Distortion) of multi-carrier signals and PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) of modulated HRIT must be considered to estimate the output power of HPA. In this paper, we measured the PAPR to various the roll-off factor of RRC (Root Raised Cosine filter) which is filtering the modulated HRIT signal for reducing ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) and bandwidth. It was found that the minimum PAPR is 2.78dB at 0.5 of roll-off factor for scrambled data. It's 2.78dB of P APR will be in output power selecting in COMS earth station.

Beamforming for underwater acoustic communication (UAC) is affected by the broadband feature of UAC signal, which has relatively low currier frequency as compared to the signal bandwidth. The narrow-band assumption does not hold good in UAC. In this paper, we discuss a broadband FIR beamformer for UAC using the baseband equivalent way signal model. We consider the broadband FIR beamformer for QPSK UAC with carrier frequency 25kHz and symbol rate 5kHz. Array geometry is a uniform linear way with 8 omni-directional elements and sensor spacing is the half of the carrier wavelength. The simulation results show that the broadband n beamformer achieves nearly optimum signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) and outperforms the conventional narrowband beamformer by SINR 0.5dB when two-tap FIR filter is employed at each sensor and the inter-tap delay is a quarter of the symbol interval. The broadband FIR beamformer performance is more degraded as the FIR filter length is increased above a certain value. If the inter-tap delay is not greater than half of the symbol period, SINR performance does not depend on the inter-tap delay. More training period is required when the inter-tap delay is same as the symbol period.

To increase throughput efficiency and improve performance, FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) method and LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) codes are employed in DVB-S3 system. In this paper, we proposed efficient turbo equalization model to minimize inter symbol interference induced by FTN transmission. This paper introduces two conventional scheme employing SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) and BCJR equalizer. Then, we proposed new scheme to resolve problems in this two conventional scheme. To make performance improved in turbo equalization model, the outputs of LDPC and BCJR equalizer are iteratively exchange probabilistic information. In fed LDPC outputs as extrinsic informa tion of BCJR equalizer. we split LDPC output to separate bit probabilities. We compare performance of proposed scheme to that of conventional methods through using simulation in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. We confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional methods as increasing throughput parameters of FTN.

White LEDs(Light Emitting Diode) offer advantageous properties such as high brightness, improved reliability, lower power consumption, and long lifetimes. An LED is an electronic device that converts an electrical signal into a tight signal and is used not only in Optical Communication Indoor wireless optical illuminating rooms, but also for wireless optical communication systems. Currently, studies about these white LEDs have been being progressed, and in this raper, we discuss the multiplex and the multiple access method of VLC(Visible Light Communication) systems using white LEDs.

In the system necessary for safety such as the train control system, to make train control information be sent correctly is very important. In the case of the system such as RF-CBTC(Radio Frequency-Communication Based Train Control), sometimes failure in correctness of train controlling information may happen because the information is sent throughout wireless transmission between on-board system of a train and wayside transmitter, and then, it is exposed to noises. Of RF-channel interference, there are various forms. Under the environment of mobile telecommunications, adjacent-channel interference and Co-channel interference are in trouble, and under the environment of the wireless LAN, inter-symbol interference is in trouble. Also, the system of the cellular CDMA mobile telecommunication is affected on the RF-channel interference such as Doppler effect, multi-cell interference, and other users' intervention. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of the train control information related to fading, intervention and other noises made in the underground interval and explained the transmission characteristics numerically. Furthermore, we calculated the mean of the error terms by increasing users in the system of the cellular CDMA. As the method for decrease the error term of sent information, we represented the way adjusting the arrangement of antennas, and we did the model related to the system of RF-CBTC in which the location of an antenna is calculated with really measured value of the transmission characteristics and the way confirming reliability of the wireless transmission.
