SVC layered video is consists of a Base Layer (BL) and Enhancement Layer (EL). Without the base layer decoding, the higher EL layer can not be decoded. Therefore, successful transfer of the BL is important factor for improving the SVC video data. In this paper, we propose a network coding of layered video to improve success decoding probability with the importance order of the video data over a multi-relay system. We shows that formula analysis and experimental results of the proposed network coding scheme. In addition, we shows performance of video quality according to the number of relays.

Most recent research on iterative solutions for interference alignment (IA) presents solutions assuming channel reciprocity based on the suppression of interference from undesired sources by using an appropriate decoding matrix also known as a receiver combining matrix for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) interference channel networks and reciprocal networks. In this paper, we present an alternative solution for IA by designing precoding and decoding matrices based on the concept of signal leakage (the measure of signal power that leaks to unintended users) on each transmit side. We propose an iterative algorithm for an IA solution based on maximization of the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) of the transmitted signal from each transmitter. In order to make an algorithm removing the requirement of channel reciprocity, we deploy maximization of the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) in the design of the decoding matrices. We show through simulation that minimizing the leakage in each transmission can help achieve enhanced performance in terms of aggregate sum capacity in the system.

In this paper, a channel estimation method by orthogonalizing of the time domain training signal in MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed. It has shown that Jeon's method[8] cannot be directly used in 4 Tx antenna MIMO-OFDM systems since the delayed Rx signals interfere the orthogonal property of the time domain training signals. As a possible solution to the problem, in this paper, a guard interval is inserted into the center of the training signals so that the orthogonal property between the Rx training signals can be maintained. It is shown by using computer simulations that the proposed method can estimate the channel response in time domain in 4 Tx antenna MIMO-OFDM systems.

In this paper, we present the bit-error rate (BER) performance of quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QOSTBC) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system employing up to 32 transmit and receive antennas. The QOSTBC, due to its advantages in transmission rate and decoding complexity, is an important transmit diversity scheme for more than 2 transmit antennas. As massive MIMO implies very large number of antennas, practically at least more than 15 antennas, a different number of transmit and receive antennas (i.e. $2{\times}2$, $4{\times}4$, $8{\times}8$, $16{\times}16$ and $32{\times}32$) using QOSTBC for the massive MIMO system are considered. The BER performance of the massive MIMO with antennas up to $32{\times}32$ using BPSK modulation scheme is analyzed. Simulation results show that the full-rate massive MIMO systems with QOSTBC give a significant performance improvement due to increasing diversity effect, compared with previously considered massive MIMO systems.

In this paper, we propose a decoding method that improves the transmission rate and reliability by integrating MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication scheme using turbo code and FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) scheme among high rate and high reliability wireless communication schemes in wireless communication. The existing MIMO-FTN(Multiple Input Multiple Output-Faster Than Nyquist) scheme based on hierarchical space-time coded method induced data rate loss due to the application of the space-time trellis coding scheme to remove adjacent symbol interference due to FTN scheme. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a method using W-ZF(Weighted-Zero Forcing) which overcomes the disadvantages of ZF(Zero Forcing) scheme in MIMO-FTN scheme using ZF scheme. In this paper, we compared the performance and the transmission rate of the MIMO-FTN scheme based on the hierarchical space-time coding, the MIMO-FTN scheme using W-ZF and the SISO-FTN scheme. As a result, the MIMO-FTN scheme using the W-ZF scheme is two times better than the other two schemes.

LTE-Advanced is the evolved version of LTE which is currently in progress at the 3GPP. At present, as the number of smart phone users is rapidly increasing, the demand for ever more capacity is driven largely by video usage and high quality data communication and so on, this let more researchers study about LTE-A all over the world. LTE-A aims to achieve improved service and communication quality over 3G system at the aspect of throughput, peak data rate, latency, and spectral efficiency. Among various features in LTE-A, the multi-user MIMO(MU-MIMO), in which the base station transmits several streams to multiple receivers, has expected to give better quality for system. In this paper, we investigate performances of various types of downlink receivers with fixed number of antennas. we first review the development process from LTE to LTE-A. Second we introduce TM9 which is adopted in Rel.10 for MU-MIMO system, including the MU-MIMO system model and the explanation on the algorithm used in system. We also have brief introduction about sub-blocking in turbo decoding, finally we compare the performance between the uncoded case and coded case which is using turbo encoding.

격자 감소 (lattice reduction) 알고리즘은 주어진 기저 벡터를 직교에 가까운 기저 벡터로 바꾸어 준다. 그중 대표적인 알고리즘으로 LLL (Lenstra, Lenstra & Lovasz) 알고리즘이 있다. 격자 감소 알고리즘을 이용하여 다중 안테나 입출력 (MIMO) 통신시스템의 선형 수신기(linear detector)의 성능을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 스피어 복호 알고리즘 (sphere decoding algorithm)은 MIMO 통신 시스템에서 사용되는 복호기중 최대 우도 복호기 (Maximum Likelihood Detector)와 비슷한 BER(bit error rate)성능을 가지고 복잡도를 줄일 수 있어서 많이 연구되어 왔다. 이때 스피어의 반지름의 설정이나 트리 검색 구조 방식 등은 복잡도에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 LLL 알고리즘에 기반하여 스피어의 반지름 설정 및 트리 검색 노드 수를 제한하는 방식으로 스피어 복호 알고리즘의 복잡도를 기존 알고리즘에 비해 크게 낮추면서도 비트 오류률 (BER) 성능 열화를 최소한으로 한 알고리즘을 제안하고 전산 실험을 통해 검증한다.

최근의 iterative detection and decoding (IDD) 기법에서의 soft 복호화방식은, log-likelihood ratio (LLR) 값의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해 기존의 구복호화 (sphere decoding) 방식보다는 리스트를 형성하는 구복호화방식 (list sphere decoding : LSD)이 대두되고 있다. 기존의 구복호화 방식과는 달리 리스트 구복호화 방식은 그 성능의 우수함에도 불구하고, 여러 격자 포인트들을 검출해야 하므로 신호대잡음비 (signal-to-noise ratio : SNR) 의 증가에 따른 복잡도의 이득을 거의 취할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라, 무엇보다 신뢰도가 높은 LLR 값을 얻는 데에 영향이 작은 포인트를 검출하는 경우도 생긴다는 점에서 비효율적인 측면이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 리스트 구복호화 검출방식의 효율성을 높이기 위해 LLR 값에 적은 영향을 미치는 격자 포인트들을 제거하는 방식에 대해 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목표는 MIMO 시스템에서의 기존의 리스트 구복호화 기법의 capacity와 실제 성능과 최대한 유사한 성능을 내면서도 그 복잡도를 현저히 줄이는 것이며, 구체적으로는 검출을 위한 초기 구반경의 최적화를 기반으로 한다.

In the QR Decomposition-based (QRD) decoding class, the system performance is sensitive to the error propagation. Thus, it is critical to correctly decode the previous layers. One approach to desensitize the error propagation is to propose the optimal decoding order of layers. In this work, we propose a new extended-list Sorted QRD-base (SQRD) decoding approach. In the proposed decoding scheme, the solution of the few first layers is extended as the list of promising possible solutions. By doing so, the diversity of the lowest layer is increased. As a result, the system performance is less sensitive to the error propagation than its counterparts. The proposed approach is verified by the computer simulation results.

In this paper, we investigate an individual channel estimation problem for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks. To avoid self-interference during the estimation of the individual MIMO channels, a novel blind interference cancellation (BIC) approach is proposed based on an orthogonal preceding framework, where a pair of orthogonal precoding matrices is utilized at the source nodes. By designing an optimal decoding scheme, we propose to decompose the bidirectional transmission into a pair of unidirectional transmissions. Unlike most existing approaches, we make the practical assumption that the nonreciprocal MIMO channel and the mutual interference of multiple antennas are both taken into consideration. Under the precoding framework, we employ an orthogonal superimposed training strategy to obtain the individual MIMO channels. However, the AF strategy causes the noise at the terminal to be the sum of the local noise and the relay-propagated noise. To remove the relay-propagated noise during the estimation of the second-hop channel, a partial noise-nulling method is designed. We also derive a closed-form expression for the total mean square error (MSE) of the MIMO channel from which we compute the optimal power allocation. The simulation results demonstrate that the analytical and simulated curves match fully.
