In this paper we have investigated a novel approach applying low-density parity-check coding to a COFDM-CDMA system, which operates in a multi-path fading mobile channel. Developed as a linear-block channel coder, the LDPC code is known for a superior signal reception capability in AWGN and/or flat fading channels with respect to increased encoding rates, however, its performance degrades when the communication channel becomes multi-path fading. For a typical multi-path fading mobile channel with a SNR of 16㏈ or lower. in order to obtain a BER lower than 1 out of 10000, the LDPC code with encoding rates below 1:3 requires not only the inherent parity check information but also the piloting information for refreshing front-end equalizer taps of COFDM-CDMA, periodically. For instance, while the 1:3-rate LDPC coded transmission symbol is consisted of data bits and parity-check bits in 1 to 3 proportion, on the other hand, in the proposed method the same rate LDPC transmission symbol contains data bits, parity check bits, and pilot bits in 1 to 2 to 1 proportion, respectively. The included pilot bits are effective not only for channel estimation and channel equalization but for symbol decoding by assisting the parity-check bits, hence, improving SNR vs BER performance over the conventional 1:3-rate LDPC code. The proposed system performance has been verified using computer simulations in multi-path, Rayleigh fading channels, and the results show us that the proposed method out-performs the general LDPC channel coding methods in terms of SNR vs BER measurements.

차세대 통신 시스템에서는 고속 데이터 전송을 위해 다수의 송신자와 수신자가 네트워크를 구성하여 정보를 주고 받는 다자간 협력 통신을 가정한다. 이러한 상황에 적합한 오류 정정 부호로 이미 탁월한 오류 정정 능력을 검증 받은 저밀도 패리티 체크 (low-density parity-check, LDPC)부호, 이진 입력 이산 비기억 (discrete memoryless) 채널에서 무한한 길이에 대하여 채널 용량 (channel capacity)을 달성하는 것으로 알려진 극 부호 (polar code), 아직은 많이 개발되지 않았지만 보다 높은 전송률을 달성할 수 있는 다중점 (multiple point) 채널에서의 새로운 부호 등이 거론될 수 있다. 본고에서는 이러한 차세대 통신 시스템을 위한 오류 정정 부호들에 대해서 기본 이론과 최근 연구 동향, 그리고 향후 연구 방향 등을 소개하도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 소스코딩에 활용되고 있는 LDPCA 부호를 가변 부호율을 얻는 채널코딩 목적으로써의 사용 가능성을 타진한다. 컴퓨터 성능 실험의 결과로 가변 부호율과 어느 정도의 BER 성능을 확인하였지만, 체크노드 머징기법이 여타의 LDPC 부호에 비해 성능을 크게 떨어뜨리는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 체크노드 머징이 가능하면서도 좀 더 개선된 성능을 가지는 LDPCA 를 설계하는 일이 중요할 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, we propose a receiver that combines a channel detector with a channel decoder to retrieve information from ISI and AWGN in an iteratively manner. The receiver, evolving from a system of a PRML detector and a RS decoder, consists of a SOVA detector followed by a LDPC decoder and has them exchange information iteratively. Rather than handling extrinsic reliabilities explicitly as in Turbo equalization, we take hard-decision values from the LDPC decoder and mix them with the channel output in a certain ratio as input for SOVA. The scheme, simply modified to the one-way structure of a SOVA and a LDPC decoder, shows improved performance with iteration numbers as well as the combining ratio of the channel output and the feedback output. We additionally analyze the receiver with a simple theoretical model and present some valuable properties.

In this letter, a parity check based iterative IC scheme is proposed for LDPC coded MIMO systems. After the decoding procedures in each iteration of the proposed scheme, each decoded codeword is utilized for the IC procedures only when the ratio of the check nodes satisfying the parity check equations to the total number of check nodes is not smaller than the pre-defined threshold value. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can achieve an improved BLER at the high SNR region compared to the conventional iterative IC scheme.

Although we can make a sparse matrices for LDPC codes, the encoding complexity per a block increases quadratically by $n^2$. We propose modified PEG algorithm using PEG algorithm having a large girth by establishing edges or connections between symbol and check nodes in an edge-by-edge manner. M-PEG construct parity check matrices. So we propose parity check matrices H form a dual-diagonal matrices that can construct a more efficient decoder using a M-PEG(modified Progressive Edge Growth).

In this paper, we propose the iterative receiver for LDPC-coded OFDMA systems in uplink environments. Applying the Wiener filtering to pilot symbols, an initial channel estimation can be performed effectively. To reduce the complexity of the Wiener filtering, we approximate Wiener filtering coefficients to pre-determined coefficients according to estimated correlation of channel. After an LDPC decoding process, soft symbol derived by extrinsic information of decoder outputs is used to estimate channel. we also derive the error variance of channel estimation and maximum ratio combined results. Using combined results, the channel correlation is re-estimated. Then the proper Wiener filtering coefficients are chosen according to the re-estimated result of the channel correction. Using a computer simulation, we show that the proposed receiver structure has the better performance than the receiver using only pilot symbols.

In this paper, we propose a SSD (simultaneous single-band duplex) system using Digital Cancellation. Also, we propose a method for Digital Cancellation when RF Cancellation is effectively performed. The proposed system has estimation frame for effective self-interference channel estimation in time-domain. The proposed system calculates signal power for selection of optimal coefficient after digital cancellation. Then, the proposed system selects coefficient of minimum signal power. Further, the proposed system uses LDPC code to minimize the effects of remaining self-interference signal. The proposed system shows BER performance of at 20dB by cancelling self-interference and iterating LDPC code. That is, the proposed system shows that the SSD communication is possible in static self-interference channel.

In this paper, we proposed about data error check and correction on channel transmission in the communication system. LDPC codes are used for minimizing channel errors by modeling AWGN Channel as a VDSL system. Because LDPC Codes use low density parity bit, mathematical complexity is low and relating processing time becomes shorten. Also the performance of LDPC code is better than that of turbo code in long code word on iterative decoding algorithm. This algorithm is better than conventional algorithms to correct errors, the proposed algorithm assigns weights for errors concerning parity bits. The proposed weighted Bit-flipping algorithm is better than the conventional Bit-flipping algorithm and we are recognized improve gain rate of 1 dB.

This paper presents bit splitting methods to apply multilevel modulation to iterative codes such as turbo code, low density parity check code and turbo product code. Log-likelihood ratio method splits multilevel symbols to soft decision symbols using the received in-phase and quadrature component based on Gaussian approximation. However it is too complicate to calculate and to implement hardware due to exponential and logarithm calculation. Therefore this paper presents Euclidean, MAX, sector and center focusing method to reduce the high complexity of LLR method. Also, this paper proposes optimal soft symbol split method for three kind of iterative codes. Futhermore, 16-APSK modulator method with double ring structure for applying DVB-S2 system and 16-QAM modulator method with lattice structure for T-DMB system are also analyzed.
