본 논문에서는 SC-FDMA 시스템을 위한 적응형 스위칭 등화기를 제안하고 성능을 분석하였다. SC-FDMA 시스템이 OFDM과 상당히 비슷한 구조를 가지고 있는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 더군다나, SC-FDMA 시스템은 OFDM에 비해서 낮은 PAPR을 갖는 장점이 있다. 그러나 이 시스템은 다중경로 페이딩 또는 증가된 채널 응답 등과 같은 무선채널의 특성에 의해 성능이 열화 될 수 있다. 이러한 영향을 줄이기 위해서는 효율적인 적응형 등화기가 요구된다. 따라서 제안된 시스템에서는 낮은 이동속도에서는 ZF 등화기를 그리고 높은 이동속도에서는 MMSE 등화기를 사용하는 스위칭 모드로 운용이 되도록 설계하였다. 모의실험 결과로부터 제안된 기법이 시스템 복잡도 측면에서 효과적인 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. 따라서 제안된 시스템은 향후 3GPP LTE의 상향링크 설계에 응용이 될 수 있으리라 기대한다.

본 논문에서는 고속 무선 통신을 위한 IEEE 802.15.TG3a PHY proposal 중에서 MBOK DS-UWB (M-ary bi-orthogonal keying direct sequence UWB) 시스템의 수신기를 위한 개선된 방식의 FD MMSE (frequency domain minimum mean square error) equalizer 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘에서는 모든 전송 패킷에 CP (cyclic prefix)를 삽입해야 하므로 일반적인 SC (single carrier) 시스템에 적용할 경우 구조적인 제한이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 CP를 사용하지 않는 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 보다 정확한 채널 추정 및 보상을 위하여 MAF (moving average filter) 및 moving FFT 기법을 사용하여 수신 성능의 안정성을 증대시킴으로써 실내 무선 채널 환경에 보다 적합하도록 설계하였다. IEEE 802.15.TG3a 무선 채널 모델 환경에서의 성능 평가를 수행하고 일반적인 FDE 및 TD (time domain) MMSE-RAKE 수신기와의 성능 비교를 통해, 제안한 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 사전등화를 이용하는 상향링크 MC-CDMA(multicarrier-code division multiple access)/TDD(time division duplexing) 시스템에서 사전등화를 위한 상향링크 채널을 추정하는 방법들을 제안하고 시스템의 성능분석을 수행한다. 제안된 방법들에서는 하향링크 슬롯구간에서의 채널변화를 적절한 차수의 다항식으로 모델링하고, 이 다항식을 상향링크 슬롯구간으로 확장함으로써 상향링크 슬롯구간의 채널을 추정한다. 하향링크 슬롯구간에서의 채널변화는 MMSE(minimum mean squared error)curve fitting 방법이나 Lagrange 보간법 등이 사용되며 1차, 2차, 3차 다항식으로 근사화 된다. 성능지표로 정확도보다 시스템 성능이 중요 하므로 BER (bit error rate)을 사용한다. 다양한 시스템 및 채널환경에서의 모의실험 결과로부터 Lagrange 보간법은 하향링크 채널정보가 정확한 경우에는 MMSE 방법보다 성능이 다소 우수하지만 하향링크 채널추정 오류에 매우 민감하며, 2 차 다항식을 사용한 MMSE curve fitting 방법은 다양한 환경에서 우수한 성능을 가질 뿐만 아니라 채널추정 오류에도 매우 강인함을 알 수 있다.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) combined with time division multiplexing (TDM), in this paper called OFDM/TDM, can overcome the high peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) problem of the conventional OFDM and improve the robustness against long time delays. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of OFDM/FDM in a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. channel is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that the use of frequency-domain equalization based on minimum mean square error criterion (MMSE-FDE) can significantly improve the BER performance, compared to the conventional OFDM, by exploiting the channel frequency-selectivity while reducing the PAPR or improving the robustness against long time delays. It is also shown that the performance of OFDM/FDM designed to reduce the PAPR can bridge the conventional OFDM and single-carrier (SC) transmission by changing the design parameter.

Massive (large-scale) MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is one of the key technologies in next-generation wireless communication systems. This paper proposes a high-performance low-complexity turbo receiver for SC-FDMA (single-carrier frequency-division multiple access) based MMIMO (massive MIMO) systems. Because SC-FDMA technology has the desirable characteristics of OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) and the low PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) of SC transmission schemes, the 3GPP LTE (long-term evolution) has adopted it as the uplink transmission to meet the demand high data rate and low error rate performance. The complexity of computing will be increased greatly in base station with massive MIMO (MMIMO) system. In this paper, a low-complexity adaptive turbo equalization receiver based on normalized minimal symbol-error-rate for MMIMO SC-FDMA system is proposed. The proposed receiver is with low complexity than that of the conventional turbo MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer and is also with better bit error rate (BER) performance than that of the conventional adaptive turbo MMSE equalizer. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Doppler Effect is a prominent obstacle in vehicular networks, which dramatically increase the Bit-Error-Rate (BER). This problem is accompanied with the presence of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in which the Doppler shift interrupts the subcarriers orthogonality. Additionally, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) are likely to occur which corrupt the received signal. In this paper, the single-carrier combined with the frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) is utilized as an alternative to the OFDM over the IEEE 802.11p uplink vehicular channels. The Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) are employed in order to study the impact of these equalization techniques along with the SC-FDE on the propagation medium. In addition, we aim to enhance the BER, improve the transmitted signal quality and achieve ISI and PAPR mitigation. The proposed schemes are investigated and we found that the MMSE outperforms the ZF equalization under different Doppler shift effects and modulations.

다중 반송파 전송시스템에서 수신신호의 지연 확산에 따른 인접 심볼간섭 (ISI)과 인접 채널간섭 (ICI)을 제거하기 위하여 전송프레임에 삽입한 Cyclic Prefix (CP)는 시스템의 전송 효율을 저하한다. 시간영역 등화기는 채널 임펄스 응답 시간을 줄임으로써, 채널의 상태에 상관없이 CP 길이를 최소로 유지하여 시스템의 전송 효율을 개선한다. 본 논문에서는 MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) 방식 시간영역 등화기에 Newton 방법을 적용함으로써, 최적의 등화기 탭 계수를 추정하는 연산 시간을 단축할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석하였다.

Cooperative relaying methods have attracted a lot of interest in the past few years. A conventional cooperative relaying scheme has a source, a destination, and a single relay. This cooperative scheme can support one symbol transmission per time slot, and is caned full rate transmission. However, existing fun rate cooperative relay approaches provide asymmetrical gain for different transmitted symbols. In this paper, we propose a cooperative relaying scheme that is assisted with dual relays and provides full transmission rate with the same macro-diversity to each symbol. We also address equalization for the dual relay transmission system in addition to addressing the issues concerning the improvement of system performance in terms of optimal power allocations.

Direct-sequence ultra-wideband(DS-UWB) system is being considered as one of promising transmission technologies for wireless personal area networks(WPANs). Due to relatively low spreading factors and huge bandwidth of transmit signal, a DS-UWB receiver needs to be equipped not only with a rake receiver but also with an equalizer, of which the equalizer is not required for traditional direct-sequence code division multiple access(DS-CDMA) systems. The number of rake fingers is limited in practice, influencing the performance of the subsequent equalizer. In this paper, we derive a decision feedback equalizer(DFE) for DS-UWB systems based on the minimum mean square error(MMSE) criterion, and investigate the impact of various parameters on the DFE performance in realistic scenarios. In particular, we propose an approach to improving the performance of the DFE using additional channel estimates for multipaths not combined in the rake receiver, and discuss how the accuracy of channel estimation affects desirable DFE configuration. Moreover, we present simulation results that show the impact of turbo equalization on the DFE performance.

A linear-prediction-based blind equalization algorithm for single-input single-output (SISO) finite impulse response/infinite impulse response (FIR/IIR) channels is proposed. The new algorithm is based on second-order statistics, and it does not require channel order estimation. By oversampling the channel output, the SISO channel model is converted to a special single-input multiple-output (SIMO) model. Two forward linear predictors with consecutive prediction delays are applied to the subchannel outputs of the SIMO model. It is demonstrated that the partial parameters of the SIMO model can be estimated from the difference between the prediction errors when the length of the predictors is sufficiently large. The sufficient filter length for achieving the optimal prediction is also derived. Based on the estimated parameters, both batch and adaptive minimum-mean-square-error equalizers are developed. The performance of the proposed equalizers is evaluated by computer simulations and compared with existing algorithms.
