Recently, the communication between LED array and camera, called Visual-MIMO, is under active research and we expect the maximization of application to the vehicle as well as smart-phone. In this paper, we improve the BER performance of Visual-MIMO system by using the brightness information of a received image. We also suggest the error correction method to minimize the error due to Inter-Symbol-Interference. The performance analysis according to the noise and distance variation will verify the validity of our proposed method including results through simulation and hardware experiment.

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.

Doppler Effect is a prominent obstacle in vehicular networks, which dramatically increase the Bit-Error-Rate (BER). This problem is accompanied with the presence of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in which the Doppler shift interrupts the subcarriers orthogonality. Additionally, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) are likely to occur which corrupt the received signal. In this paper, the single-carrier combined with the frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) is utilized as an alternative to the OFDM over the IEEE 802.11p uplink vehicular channels. The Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) are employed in order to study the impact of these equalization techniques along with the SC-FDE on the propagation medium. In addition, we aim to enhance the BER, improve the transmitted signal quality and achieve ISI and PAPR mitigation. The proposed schemes are investigated and we found that the MMSE outperforms the ZF equalization under different Doppler shift effects and modulations.

OFDM Transmission system can effectively reduce ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) caused by multipath fading, especially in the case of broad band data transmission. Nevertheless, the delayed waves existing in a symbol degrade the transmission Performance at the receiver. Therefore when OFDM transmission system applies to mobile radio communication system, we have to remove the influence without intricacy. This paper proposes and design a new scheme in order to estimate propagation characteristics using the characteristics of distinctive OFDM signal which is inserted pilot signal periodically in frequency axis before IFFT at the transmitter Moreover, we introduce a cancellation scheme of delayed signal on the basis of the proposed estimation technique. Using these schemes, it is possible to estimate and cancel the Interference of the delayed signal before FFT at the receiver.

In the view point of further reducing the inter-symbol interferences studied in our previous paper 〔1〕, a quadrature pair of wavelet-based filter banks that are composed of a pair of cosine and sine modulated filter banks is applied to MC-CDMA transmultiplexing. For that fact, the symbol duration gets twice longer than the one in , 〔1〕, the interference effects due to channel overlapping and Doppler spread can be effectively alleviated while increasing the channel utilization efficiency. Moreover, the well-known wavelet properties are exploited to design the prototype filter in such a way to maintain the size of sidelobes much smaller than those of the FFT, the interference reduction effect can be further obtained. To verify the behavior of our proposed quadrature filter bank based MC-CDMA system, the reverse-link bit error rates with respect to SNR under Rayleigh fading and additive white Gaussian noise channel environments are computed. The results show an improved system performance over the conventional MC-CDMA.

In MC-CDMA systems effects of delay spread of the channel are reduced with increased symbol duration by simultaneously transmitting data symbols on the parallel subcarriers. However, the increased symbol duration causes the system to be more vulnerable to time selective fading. In this paper, we investigate the effects of time selective fading characteristics of the mobile channel from the viewpoint of desired signal power to inter-carrier interference power ratio at the combiner output of the MC-CDMA receiver.

Direct-conversion receiver(DCR) architecture has superior advantages in size, cost, and power over superheterodyne receiver architectures. However, the use of direct-conversion receiver architecture has been limited due to the direct-current offset noise. The ac coupling, which is used to overcome the direct-current offset noise, causes an inter-symbol interference(ISI), whose effects can be effectively mitigated using an equalizer. In this paper, the performance of a direct-conversion receiver with ac coupling in the presence of direct-current offset is analyzed via computer simulation. The simulation result shows that by using decision feedback equalizer with LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm, signal-to-noise ratio loss of the direct-conversion receiver compared to the idea receiver can be reduced to less than 1㏈ for corner frequencies as large as 10% of the symbol rate.

In this paper, we propose a SSD(simultaneous single band duplex) system with turbo equalizer for full-duplex over harsh ISI(inter symbol interference) channel. The proposed system uses RF(radio frequency) cancellation and digital cancellation to cancel self-interference caused by simultaneous single band duplex communication. Also, using turbo equalizer, the proposed system equalizes signal after digital cancellation. In this paper, we design SSD system with turbo equalizer. And then we evaluate BER(bit error rate) performance of the proposed system comparison with SSD system with adaptive equalizer. We use simulink program to confirm BER performance of the proposed system. The simulation results shows that the proposed system equalizes received signal effectively over harsh ISI channel and BER performance of the proposed system is better than BER performance of SSD system with adaptive equalizer.

In this paper, we propose an inter-symbol interference (ISI) estimation scheme based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm for faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) systems. Unfortunately, the ISI estimator based on the MAP algorithm requires relatively high computational complexity. To reduce the complexity of the MAP based ISI estimator, we propose a hybrid ISI estimation scheme based on the MAP and successive interference cancellation (SIC) algorithms. The proposed scheme not only offers good ISI estimation performances but also requires reasonably low complexity.

Time-varying channel characteristics in OFDM systems over doubly selective channels cause inter-carrier interferences(ICI) in the frequency domain. Time domain windowing gives rise to restriction on the bandwidth of the frequency domain channel matrix and makes it possible to approximate the OFDM system as a simplified linear input-output model. When successive interference cancellation based on linear MMSE estimation is employed for channel equalization in OFDM systems, symbol detection ordering produces considerable effects on overall system performances. In this paper, we show the reduction of the residual ICI by time domain windowing and the resultant performance improvements, and investigate the effects of SINR- and CSEP-based symbol detection ordering on the performance of successive interference cancellation.
