In this letter, an adaptive multi-antenna channel estimation scheme is proposed for uplink multiuser environments such as LTE-A systems to accurately estimate time-varying channels within an affordable complexity. It is confirmed that the proposed channel estimator can achieve accurate channel tracking performance even when various time-varying channel environments and traffic patterns are provided.

An efficient symbol time synchronization scheme for IEEE 802.11n MIMO-OFDM based WLAN systems using cyclic shift diversity (CSD) preamble is proposed. CSD is used to prevent unintentional beamforming when the same preamble signal is transmitted through transmit antennas. However, it is difficult to find a proper starting-point of the OFDM symbol with the conventional algorithms because of time offset by multi-peaks which are result from cross-correlation of received CSD preamble with a known short training symbol. In addition, the performance of symbol time sync. is affected by AGC and packet detection position. In this paper, an optimal symbol time synch. algorithm which is composed of the boundary detection scheme between LTS and OFDM symbols, the verification scheme for enhancement of boundary detection accuracy, and the SNR-varying threshold estimation scheme is proposed. Simulation result show that the proposed algorithm has performance gains of 4.3dB in SNR compared to the conventional algorithms at the rate of 1% sync. failure probability for $2{\times}2$ MIMO-OFDM system and 18dB at 0.1% when maximum frequency offset exists. It also can be applied to $4{\times}4$ MIMO-OFDM system without any modification. Hence, it is very suitable for MIMO-OFDM WLAN systems using CSD preamble.

In the CS/CB(Coordinated Scheduling/Beamforming) scheme, the cell edge user throughput is increased by selecting MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) precoders which can minimize the interferences from adjacent base stations (BSs). However, in current LTE(Long Term Evolution) systems, the serving cell is selected in the initialization stage by using the synchronization signals and cell specific reference signals transmitted by adjacent BSs with a single antenna. The selected BS in the initialization stage may not be the best one since the MIMO precoding gain has not been considered in the cell selection stage. In this paper, a new cell selection technique is proposed for LTE systems with MIMO precoder by taking into account the effect of the precoder in the initialization stage. The proposed technique enables a user equipment (UE) in the cell boundary to select the serving BS by using the information (channel rank, effective channel capacity, and effective SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio)) acquired from cell specific reference signals of candidate BSs. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed technique can increase the channel capacity significantly in the multi-cell environments, compared with the conventional CS/CB scheme.

In this paper, we propose antenna and relay selection system by considering channel environment between nodes. Each node has multiple antennas in each hop. And, we analyze the performance of proposed system. A General MIMO system receives signals through multiple channels and obtains diversity gain. But MIMO system causes performance degradation due to poor received signals. The proposed system consider transmitters-relays channels, relays-receivers channels and select a best channel. This channel selection prevents performance degradation and increase total system's performance. Therefore, we must select best antennas and a best relay, simultaneously.

In this paper, we propose a multiple dual-polarized antenna system for multi-user transmission in line-of-sight (LoS) dominant channel environments. By exploiting space and polarization resources efficiently, the proposed system achieves a higher sum rate than the existing multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system with uni-polarized antennas.

OFDM(Orthogonall Frequency Division Multiplexing) is an efficient transmission techniques for the frequency selective fading wireless channel where conventional modulations suffer from severe performance degradation. Recently, more efficient techniques for the OFDM are paid much attention such as adaptive modulation for each subcarrier, since more bit rate has been required for the wireless data network [1-3]. The proposed system employs the adaptive modulation between transmitter and receiver in each subcarrier, where the bit and power is properly allocated. Also multiple antenna system called MIMO is considered, which result in robustness in channel delay, improved power efficiency and improved bit SNR for the given BER.

Zero Forcing (ZF) 검파 결과는 신호 대 잡음 환경이 양호한 경우 약 80% 이상이 Maximum Likelihood (ML) 검파 결과와 일치한다. 간단한 검증기를 통해 ZF 검파 결과가 ML 검파 결과와 일치하는지 알 수 있다면 검증 결과에 따라 복잡한 ML 검파 과정이나 별도의 검색 과정을 생략할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 multiple input multiple output (MIMO) 시스템에서 ZF 검파 결과에 대한 검증 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 검증 방식은 ZF 검파 결과를 이용하여 MIMO 신호를 single input multiple output (SIMO) 신호로 변환한 후 검파를 수행하면 안테나 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있고 잡음 분산이 줄어드는 효과를 이용하였다. 제안된 검증기는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 신호 대 잡음이 양호한 경우 80%이상의 정확한 true 판정 확률을 얻었으며 이때 false 판정 확률은 $10^{-4}$이하를 보였다.

We propose a new MUD adaptive beamforming algorithm. It requires no reference signal and consists of two Processing stages. The first stage performs a scan function, and the second stage performs an adaptive beamforming algorithm. Computer simulations, considering multi-path Rayleigh Fading Channel in CUMA, are presented to verify the performance.
