This paper considers the effect of co-channel interference on hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network. In particular, we investigate the problem of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in hybrid satellite-terrestrial link, where the relay is interfered by multiple co-channel interferers. The direct link between satellite and terrestrial destination is not available due to masking by surroundings. The destination node can only receive signals from satellite with the assistance of a relay node situated at ground. The satellite-relay link is assumed to follow the shadowed Rice fading, while the channels of interferer-relay and relay-destination links experience Nakagami-m fading. For the considered AF relaying scheme, we first derive the analytical expression for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Then, we use the obtained MGF to derive the average symbol error rate (SER) of the considered scenario for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) constellation under these generalized fading channels.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of M-ary PSK communication system according to the types of electromagnetic interference in an impulsive noise environment. We have introduced Gaussian, sinusoidal and rectangular waves as a electromagnetic interference. Using the derived equations, we evaluated the error performance of the BPSK and QPSK system in the presence of electromagnetic interference and impulsive noise. From results, we have obtained that the Gaussian wave produced the most significant performance degradation and that sinusoidal wave produced more performance degradation than rectangular wave. Therefore, without knowing the types of electromagnetic interference, it is best to regard it as Gaussian wave when designing a communication system. In addition, we could found out that the error performance degrades as impulsive noise becomes strong and the error performance can not be improved significantly even the electromagnetic interference becomes weak. Therefore, this describes that the impulsive noise affects dominantly to the performance degradation.

We propose a new M-ary state-transition FSK modulator technique for enhancing demodulator's symbol timing recovery which can be applied to acoustic MODEM. In the previous technique, the demodulator's symbol timing performance can degrade when the sequences of same symbols are transmitted. This proposed method, because the transmission symbol changes in every single symbol period, increases the synchronization performance dramatically and has a simple MODEM and frame structure. On the one hand, we improve modulation-derived synchronization(MDS) which is M-ary FSK's symbol timing recovery scheme, then analyze it. Finally the proposed method is analyzed from the viewpoint of frequency efficiency, which proves this method is appropriate for acoustic MODEM.

In this paper, we propose maximum likelihood (ML) decision feedback channel estimation (DFCE) for M-ary orthogonal modulation in direct sequence/code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. The proposed DFCE uses the maximum combiner output in a RAKE receiver as decision feedback information, enabling M-ary orthogonal signals to be demodulated coherently and a RAKE receiver to use a em maximal ration combining (MRC) scheme. However, the performance of the proposed DFCE in the multiuser environment is severely degraded due to multiple access interference (MAI). To overcome this problem, a multistage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme is combined with the proposed DFCE for multiuser environments. Accurate knowledge of the channel coefficient estimated by the proposed DFCE is used to regenerate the signal of each user for the multistage PIC scheme. According to the results of our simulations, the performance of coherent demodulation using the proposed system is significantly improved in comparison with conventional noncoherent demodulation.

In this paper, we derive the probability density function (PDF) of end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for t he dual-hop MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) DCF (Decouple-and-Forward) system. We also provide the end-to-end bit error ratio (BER) with M-ary PSK constellations for four antenna combinations. These are (1,8,1), (8,1,8), (2,4,2), and (4,2,4). Each number in the parentheses is the number of the transmit antenna at the source, the transmit and receive antenna at the relay and the receive antenna at the destination, respectively. We show t hat the end-to-end BER expression with M-ary PSK constellations makes an exact match with numerical results. We also show that MIMO DCF relay system achieves spatial diversity.

This paper proposes an efficient signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation algorithm and its hardware implementation for adaptive transmission system using M-ary modulation scheme. In this paper, we present the implementation results of the proposed algorithm for the second generation digital video broadcasting via satellite (DVB-S2) system, and the proposed algorithm can be tailored to the other communication systems using adaptive transmissions. We built a look-up table (LUT) using the theoretical background of the received signal distribution, and by using this LUT we need just two comparators and a counter for the hardware implementation. For this reason, the hardware of the proposed scheme produces accurate estimation results even with extremely low complexity. The simulation results investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed method can produce estimation results within the specified SNR range in the DVB-S2 system, and it requires a few hundreds of samples for average estimation error of about 1 dB.

Bit error rate(BER) performance of each bit for hierarchical M-ary phase shift keying(H-MPSK) modulation scheme is changed according to the phase parameters. Thus, a method to find the phase parameters appropriate to the requests of the system is needed. In this paper, we propose a method to obtain the phase parameters from an approximate approach of BER for H-MPSK and verify a validity of the proposed method through the previously provided expression for analyzing an exact error probability of H-MPSK.

To improve the number of simultaneous transmissions of machine-to-machine traffic in a spread spectrum ALOHA channel, we propose a new spreading technique called doubly truncated cyclic code shift keying (DTCCSK). By truncating the codeset of cyclic code shift keying, DTCCSK freely adjusts the spreading factor and the symbol length. As a result, DTCCSK exhibits both a high spectral efficiency of M-ary signaling and low implementation complexity of a direct sequence.

This paper derives the symbol error probability for quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) with L-fold space diversity in Rayleigh fading channels. Two combining techniques, maximal ratio combining(MRC) and selection combining(SC), are considered. The formula for MRC space diversity is obtained by averaging the symbol error probability of M-ary QAM in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel over a chi-square distribution with 2L degrees of freedom. The obtained formula overcomes the limitations of the earlier work, which has been limited only to deriving the symbol error rate(SER) of QAM with two branch MRC space diversity. The formula for SC space diversity is obtained by averaging the symbol error probability of M-ary QAM in an AWGN channel over the distribution of the maximum signal-to noise ratio among all of the diversity channels for SC space diversity has been reported yet. Analytical results show that the probability of error decreases with the order of diversity gain per additional branch decreases as the number of branches becomes larger. On the other hand, the performance of 16 QAM with MRC becomes much better than that of SC as the number of branches becomes larger. By giving the order of diversity, L, and the number of signal points, M, we have been able to obtain the SER performance of QAM with general space diversity. These results can be used to determine the order of diversity to achieve the desired SER in land mobile communication system employing QAM modulation.
