In this paper, we propose a study for the next generation terrestrial broadcasting technology based on SFN(Single Frequency Networks), which applies multiple receiving antenna to improve receiving performance of cloud transmission system. By applying multiple receiving antenna, the received broadcast signals at the boundary of different SFN broadcasting area could be modelled by distributed MIMO system. Due to the interference cancellation effect of the MIMO detector, the proposed scheme could suppress the adjacent area interference more efficiently compared to the single receiving antenna case. Simulation results show that receiving performance can be improved dramatically in overlapping area of SFN by applying multiple antenna receivers in cloud transmission system.

In this paper, a new scheme of downlink co-channel interference (CCI) cancellation in OFDM cellular networks is introduced for users at the cell-edge. Coordinated symbol transmission between base stations (BS) is operated where the same symbol is transmitted from different BS on different sub-carriers. At the mobile station (MS) receiver, we introduce a soft decision maximum likelihood CCI canceler and a modified maximum ratio combining (M-MRC) to obtain an estimate of the transmitted symbols. Weights used in the combining method are derived from the channels coefficients between the cooperated BSs and the MS. Simulations show that the proposed scheme works well under frequency-selective channels and frequency non-selective channels. A gain of 9 dB and 6 dB in SIR is obtained under multipath fading and flat-fading channels, respectively.

MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems are considered as one of the most promising systems for next generation mobile communication systems which require efficient frequency resource utilization as well as high data rate transmissions. BLAST-STTC is the MIMO system which transmits information from many of STTC encoder groups with two transmit antennas and cancels the interference from other groups in receiver. In this paper we propose a reverse-ordered iterative decoding scheme for BLAST-STTC systems which achieve full diversity gain for all groups and improve the performance of interference cancellation, and compare the error performance of the proposed scheme with general schemes.

In this paper, binary pulse-position modulation (2PPM) time-hoping (TH) ultra-wideband (UWB) system is applied to multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system using vertical bell lab layered space-time (V-BLAST) structure to achieve high-data-rate communications. This UWB-MIMO system and its receivers are analyzed, and its BER performances are evaluated. In the receiver, various MIMO detection algorithms such as zero-forcing (ZF), ZF-ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), MMSE-OSIC and maximum likelihood (ML) are comparatively studied.

본 논문은 주파수 선택적인 MIMO 시스템에서 스트림간의 간섭을 효과적으로 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 계산적으로 복잡도가 높은 리스트 검색 기법 대신에 채널 복호기에서 사용되는 사후 확률(a posteriori probability, APP)를 얻기 위해 반복적으로 스트림간 간섭을 제거하는 선형 이퀄라이저를 사용하였다. 반복회수가 증가할수록 이퀄라이저에 의해 채널은 점차 single input multiple output (SIMO) 형태의 채널에 가까워지고 MIMO 이퀄라이저의 최소평균제곱오차 (MMSE)에 가까워진다. HSPA UMTS standard를 따르는 $2{\times}2$ MIMO 시스템의 다운링크 통신 모의실험을 통해 제안된 기법이 기존의 수신 기법에 비해 상당한 성능이득을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme for inter-user interference cancellation, when a BS communicates with multiple users that each has multiple receive antenna. The conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme uses a fixed multi-stream per user regardless of the instantaneous channel states, that is, both user with ill-conditioned and well-conditioned channels have the same number of data streams. However, in the proposed adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme, we select the number of streams per user to solve the inefficient problem of the conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming. As a result of applying the adaptive coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming scheme, the BER performance is improved. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional coordinated Tx-Rx beamforming algorithm by 2.5dB at a target BER of $10^{-2}$.

Multiple-input multiple-output with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology (MIMO-OFDM) is considered to be the ultimate solution for increasing system throughput and for enhancing communication reliability. In this paper, we propose to increase the uplink (UL) throughput by assigning the same UL resources to multiple single-antenna mobile stations. This leads to the loss of orthogonality among sub-carriers. Thus, at the base station (BS), MIMO-OFDM detection techniques are used to separate the streams of different users assigned the same UL resources. To obtain a realistic performance evaluation, different channel scenarios are applied with different correlation values among the antennas of the users. Simulation results show that the proposed MIMO-OFDM system linearly increases the uplink capacity of the OFDM system while maintaining a mobile station transmitter as simple as that used in a conventional OFDM system. For instance, when 4 users are assigned the same UL resources, the throughput of the proposed system is 3.07 times that achieved by a conventional single input single output OFDM system.

In this work, first, a multiuser detection (MUD) algorithm based on component-level soft interference cancellation and linear minimum mean square error (CLSIC-LMMSE) is proposed, which can enhance the bit error ratio (BER) performance of the traditional SIC-LMMSE-based MUD by mitigating error propagation. Second, for non-binary low density parity check (NB-LDPC) coded high-order modulation systems, when the proposed algorithm is integrated with partial mapping, the receiver with iterative detection and decoding (IDD) achieves not only better BER performance but also significantly computational complexity reduction over the traditional SIC-LMMSE-based IDD scheme. Extrinsic information transfer chart (EXIT) analysis and numerical simulations are both used to support the conclusions.

Coordinated multi-point transmission is a candidate technique for next-generation cellular communications systems. We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information, which mitigates inter-cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method that considers both ICI and intra-cell orthogonality. Due to the influence of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method, by an average of 0.55bps/Hz for different numbers of total users per cell.

A dual-user multiplexing scheme for a pair of mobiles equipped with single antenna is proposed which incorporates time-delay diversity employing a rotation-based D-BLAST-like layered code. A low-dimension equivalent of the existing partial interference cancellation based group decoder is also proposed for the corresponding receiver. The BER performances of the proposed scheme and those of the ideal scheme are studied comparatively through Monte Carlo simulations.
