Recently, UWAC (underwater acoustic communication) has been studied by many scholars and researchers. DS-CDMA, OFDM (orthogonal-frequency division multiplexing), and MIMO (multi-input multi-output), modulation and error correction, and others techniques that can transmit high-speed data are used in UWAC. In this paper, we first briefly present the theoretical background of estimating the arrival time of the first non-background segment in both signals and calculate the temporal difference. We also present the initial experimental result of estimating the arrival time.

In this paper, we propose an efficient symbol mapping method based on LLR (log-likelihood ratio) statistic for HARQ employing CoRe (constellation rearrangement) with 64QAM. The signal constellations for 64QAM with limited number of retransmissions are selected by the proposed mapping rule. Then we determine the transmission order of selected constellations. The proposed scheme reduces the performance deviation between transmit symbols so as to improve the system performance. Through simulation results, the proposed and existing CoRe mapping methods are compared with respect to error rate and throughput in MIMO-OFDM system over fading channel and we confirm the applicability of the proposed scheme in practical wireless communications environment.

LTE-Advanced aims at peak data rates of 1Gbits/s for the downlink and 500 Mbits/s for the uplink, which can be accomplished only by using wide spectrum allocation of 100MHz as well as advanced multiple input multiple output antenna techniques to the uplink. This paper analyzes the uplink precoding techniques which include LTE codebook of downlink, singular value decomposition codebook, and equal gain transmission codebook over LTE defined single carrier frequency division multiplexing systems. Finally considering nonlinear transmit power amplifier model, it is shown that link-level performance of EGT is superior to those of any other precoding schemes.

In this paper, we propose the transmission scheme for the space-time block coded spatial multiplexing systems that have adaptive rate and power allocation per each transmit antenna through the use of feedback information related to channel state. Simulation results show that the adaptive power and rate transmission scheme gain more than 4.5 dB over conventional equal-power and rate transmission scheme.

In this paper, we propose a STF(Space-Time-Frequency) coded OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmission scheme as an attractive solution for high bit rate data transmission in a multipath fading environment. STBC(Space-Time Block Coding) has been proposed as a simple diversity scheme using two transmit antennas. Also ST-OFDM(Space-Time Block Coded OFDM) and SF-OFDM(Space-Frequency Block Coded OFDM) transmission scheme, that the STBC is applied to the OFDM, has been proposed. In this paper, we propose STF-OFDM transmission scheme that to coded in time, space and frequency domain. The STF-OFDM transmission scheme that we propose in this paper is the way to improve a performance of conventional ST-OFDM, by using frequency diversity.

Tailored for wireless local area networks, the present paper proposes a cross-layer resource allocation scheme for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. Our cross-layer resource allocation scheme consists of three stages. Firstly, the condition of sharing the subchannel by more than one user is studied. Secondly, the subchannel allocation policy which depends on the data packets' lengths and the admissible combination of users per subchannel is proposed. Finally, the bits and corresponding power are allocated to users based on a greedy algorithm and the data packets' lengths. The analysis and simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme not only achieves significant improvement in system throughput and average packet delay compared with conventional schemes but also has low computational complexity.

In this paper, we focus on the total transmission power minimization problem for downlink beamforming multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems while ensuring each user's QoS requirement. Although the linear integer programming (LIP) solution we formulate provides the performance upper bound of the margin adaptive (MA) optimization problem, it is hard to be implemented in practice due to its high computational complexity. By regarding each user's equivalent channel gain as approximate independent values and using iterative descent method, we present a heuristic MA resource allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm efficiently converges to the local optimum, which is very close to the performance of the optimal LIP solution. Compared with existing space division multiple access (SDMA) OFDM systems with or without adaptive resource allocation, the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement by exploiting the frequency diversity and multi-user diversity in downlink multiple-input single-output (MISO) OFDM systems.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and millimeter-wave frequencies play key roles in supporting 5G wireless communication systems. They expand the field of wireless communication by increasing the data capacities of communication systems and supporting high data rates. However, short wavelengths, owing to the high millimeter-wave frequencies can cause problems, such as signal attenuation and path loss. To address these limitations, research on high directional beamforming technologies continue to garner interest. Furthermore, owing to the mobility of the UAVs, it is essential to track the beam angle accurately to obtain full beamforming gain. This study presents a beam tracking method based on the unscented Kalman filter using hybrid beamforming. The simulation results reveal that the proposed beam tracking scheme improves the overall performance in terms of the mean-squared error and spectral efficiency. In addition, by expanding analog beamforming to hybrid beamforming, the proposed algorithm can be used even in multi-user and multi-stream environments to increase data capacity, thereby increasing utilization in new-radio multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems.

In this paper, a low complexity fast Fourier transform(FFT) processor is proposed for multiple input multiple output(MIMO) systems. The IEEE 802.11ac standard has been adopted along with the demand for a system capable of high channel capacity and Gbps transmission in order to utilize various multimedia services using a wireless LAN. The proposed scalable FFT processor can support the variable length of 64, 128, 256, and 512 for 8x8 antenna configuration as specified in IEEE 802.11ac standard with MIMO-OFDM scheme. By reducing the required number of non-trivial multipliers with mixed-radix(MR) and multipath delay commutator(MDC) architecture, the complexity of the proposed FFT processor was dramatically decreased. Implementation results show that the proposed FFT processor can reduced the logic gate count by 50%, compared with the radix-2 SDF FFT processor. Also, compared with the 8-channel MR-2/2/2/4/2/4/2 MDC processor and 8-channel MR-2/2/2/8/8 MDC processor, it is shown that the gate count is reduced by 18% and 17% respectively.

The performance of maximum likelihood(ML) detection for the given channel is analyzed in spatially multiplexed MIMO system. In order to obtain the vector symbol error rate, we define error vectors which represent the geometrical relation between lattice points. The properties of error vectors are analyzed to show that all lattice points in infinite lattice almost surely have four nearest neighbors after random channel transformation. Using this information and minimum distance obtained by the modified sphere decoding algorithm, we formulate the analytical performance of vector symbol error over the given channel. To verify the result, we simulate ML performance over various random channel which are classified into three categories: unitary channel, dense channel, and sparse channel. From the simulation results, it is verified that the derived analytical result gives a good approximation about the performance of ML detector over the all random MIMO channels.
