In this paper, we present performance analysis of an IEEE P802.15.3a high rate wireless personal area network transceiver. This physical layer standard uses QOSK as its sub-channel modulation scheme and orthogonal frequency domain modulation (OFDM) for sub-bands. OFDM is used for each sub-band so that multi-path effects are absorbed by equalizer and guard, and fading can be approximately modeled as additive white Gaussian noise. In multi-band ultra-wideband system, DAC quantization error is important noise source since high resolution conversion cannot be used due to high power consumption. Simulation result shows that, to get 640-Mbps throughput, at least 5-bits precision is necessary to maintain bit-error rate under 10$\^$-2/, which can be lowered, with channel coding, to 10$\^$-6/ that is the bit-error rate required by IEEE 802.15 upper protocol layer, in 4-meter LOS fading channel.

The binary clipping PW/CDMA system is considered. This system can be constructed with effective cost. leading to reduce the influence of the non-linear amplifier because of converting multi-level signals into constant envelope signals. In addition, the clipping method which is to clip out signal amplitude at some level when multi-level signals are converted into constant envelope signals is used. The multi-level signals are clipped at 1 and -1 to limit the extension of bandwidth and to maintain the bandwidth after clipping. In this paper, the performance of the binary clipping PW/CDMA system with the non-linear amplifier analyzed by simulation over AWGN and flat fading channels respectively. The binary clipping PW/CDMA system with the non-linear amplifier is 2.2dB and 0.9dB better than conventional DS/CDMA system over the flat fading channels when the number of users are 9 and 17 respectively.

In mobile channel environments, the effect of the multi-path fading reduces the performance of the mobile communication severely. Previous studies on the effect of the multi-path fading show that, only the channel between fixed base stations and mobile terminals are considered. However, the future mobile communication service such as telematics may use the communication between moving mobile terminals, so called mobile ad-hoc communication, the studies on the channel is required for such situations. In this paper we have measured the mobile channel and analyzed the fading characteristics when using the linear array antennas. In the data measurements, we sent the QPSK modulated signal with carrier frequency of 2GHz band and received the signal using the array antennas equipped on moving vehicles. We have analyzed the fading characteristics and the effects of the fading reduction using the CDF of fading depth using data collected from two moving vehicles. The simulation results show that the beamforming technique adds 6 or 7dB to the fading margin than that of the selection diversity depending on channel environments.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique uses multiple sub-carriers for the data transmission. Therefore, Inter Carrier Interference(ICI) is generated because of nonlinear high power amplifier and carrier frequency offset. Wireless OFDM transmission over Doppler fading channels also causes ICI. In OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access), multiple sub-carriers are allocated to each user. Therefore, inter carrier interference causes interference to other users. I evaluate the BER performance of OFDMA systems in frequency selective fading channel, considering Multi-User Interference (MUI) owing to the carrier frequency offset, the nonlinear high power amplifier, and the Doppler fading. In the uplink OFDMA, multi-user interference introduces larger BER degradation than in the downlink. I explain the reason and obtain the required characteristics of the nonlinear amplifier and the value of frequency offset for good BER performance. And I also analyze the BER degradation upon Doppler fading channel.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the direct sequence/spread spectrum multiple access (DS/SSMA) system using the Trellis coded modulation (TCM) technique in both multipath fading and multi-user channel environments. For this, an expression that represents the pairwise bit error probability of the system is derived. Unlike the existing results that were performed in a more restrictive condition considering only the multi-user effect, the effects of the multipath fading as well as the multi-user environments are compositely taken into account. In order to check the validity of our analysis, although not direct, computer simulations are carried out, and they show that our expression matches exactly with the previous work for which the TCM and the multipath effects were disregarded. Moreover, it is observed that the performance of the Trellis coded DS/SSMA system can be improved dramatically comparing to the uncoded QPSK system in the multipath fading and multi-user channel environments.

In this paper, we propose a method using cooperative spectrum sensing to avoid multipath and frequency selective fading. One of methods in conventional scheme was multi input multi output (MIMO) solution. However, in the wireless environment, mobile device hardly supports multi antenna because of limitation of hardware. Motivated from above problems, the proposed method provides the information of excellent channel to transmitter. As a result, quality of service (QoS) required by users can be satisfied. Finally, performance of the proposed protocol is analyzed in term of bit error rate (BER).

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system is investigated in the presence of multi user interference and Nakagami fading channel environments. The DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system adopts multicode technique to enhance the data transmission rate. Using the calculated BER performance, BER figures of Multicode DS/CDMA-BPSK communication system are shown to discuss the effect of the number of multi user interference, Nakagami fading index, and data transmission rate. From the results, the transmission rate of DS/CDMA-BPSK signal improve by adopting Multicode technique. And we know that the major parameter of BER performance degradation in Multicode DS/CDMA system is the effect of multi user interference than the fading depth.

In this paper, it is analyzed that the error performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system in a single cell with multipath Rician fading and multiple access interference (MAI) and the error performance of the system is compared with that of a Sing1e-Carrier DS-CDMA system. Moreover, the convolutional coding techniques with code rate of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are adopted in order to improve the error performance degraded by the multipath fading and MAI and performance improvement through the coding techniques is analyzed. As a result, it is shown that the number of users in each system can be determined by the number of branches of the rake receiver in a Single-Carrier DS-CDMA system and the number of carriers in a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system. Furthermore, the convolutional coding should be chosen with considering the trade-off between coding gain and a power limitation in a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system. In case of increasing the number of carriers, the processing gain is decreased but the error performance is improved through the effect of frequency diversity and the system can be possibility implemented due to the low chip rate.

And the conditions to permit the performance improvement are analytically obtained.
