This paper investigates the power allocation and outage performance of MIMO full-duplex relaying (MFDR), based on orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC), in cognitive radio systems. OSTBC transmission is used as a simple means to achieve multi-antenna diversity gain. Cognitive MFDR systems not only have the advantage of increasing spectral efficiency through spectrum sharing, but they can also extend coverage through the use of relays. In cognitive MFDR systems, the primary user experiences interference from the secondary source and relay simultaneously, owing to full duplexing. It is therefore necessary to optimize the transmission powers at the secondary source and relay. In this paper, we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) scheme based on minimizing the outage probability in cognitive MFDR systems. We also analyse the outage probability of the secondary user in noise-limited and interference-limited environments in Nakagami-m fading channels. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve performance improvements in terms of reducing outage probability.

Channel allocation is one of the important issues in the multichannel transmission. In the cognitive radio networks, channel allocation scheme should be designed to improve spectrum efficiency without interfering with the transmission of licensed users. In this paper, we propose a spectrum hole prediction based channel allocation scheme. The proposed channel allocation scheme, predicts spectrum hole by using the channel success rate, and limit the transmission of secondary user's data, and it reduces the interference to the primary user. The performance of proposed channel allocation scheme is evaluated by the computer simulation.

In this paper, we investigate array calibration algorithms to derive a further improved version for correcting antenna array errors and RF transceiver errors in CDMA smart antenna systems. The structure of a multi-channel RF transceiver with a digital calibration apparatus and its calibration techniques are presented, where we propose a new RF receiver calibration scheme to minimize interference of the calibration signal on the user signals. The calibration signal is injected into a multi-channel receiver through a calibration signal injector whose array response vector is controlled in order to have a low correlation with the antenna response vector of the receive signals. We suggest a model-based antenna array calibration to remove the antenna array errors including mutual coupling errors or to predict the element patterns from the array manifold measured at a small number of angles. Computer simulations and experiment results are shown to verify the calibration algorithms.

This paper studies the channel estimation schemes of Time Division Duplex (TDD) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system with a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme in the multi-Path fading channel. Also, the effective interpolation scheme which maintains the merits of WCDMA TDD mode is proposed. By Monte Carlo simulations, it is shown that the proposed interpolation method can be used in order to obtain the proper performance of a multi-stage PIC and in order to reduce the required Eb/No in the second stage at a BER= 10$^{-2}$

In this paper, we focus on maximizing weighted sum energy efficiency (EE) for a multi-cell multi-user channel. In order to solve this non-convex problem, we first decompose the original problem into a sequence of parallel subproblems which can optimized separately. For each subproblem, a base station employs dirty paper coding to maximize the EE for users within a cell while regulating interference induced to other cells. Since each subproblem can be transformed to a convex multiple-access channel problem, the proposed method provides a closed-form solution for power allocation. Then, based on the derived optimal covariance matrix for each subproblem, a local optimal solution is obtained to maximize the sum EE. Finally, simulation results show that our algorithm based on non-linear precoding achieves about 20 percent performance gains over the conventional linear precoding method.

Recently, data traffic is significantly increased by high rate data service. As a result, radio spectrum is considered one of the most scarce and valuable resources for wireless communications. For the solution of this problem, cognitive radio(CR) has been proposed as an efficient means to opportunistic spectrum sharing between primary (licensed) users and cognitive radio users. In this paper, user selection scheme in CR networks is proposed for additional consideration of secondary system. The proposed user selection scheme mitigates interference to primary user by using orthogonal channel vectors while improves performance of secondary system. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves 1.62bps/Hz higher average throughput of whole system than one of the existing scheme.

이 논문에서는 직교 주파수 분할 다중 접속방식(orthogonal frequency division multiple access : OFDMA)을 이용한 상향 링크 시스템에서 수신된 신호에 주파수 옵셋이 존재할 때 나타나는 영향을 보상하는 방법을 제안한다. OFDMA에서 각 사용자가 전송한 신호에서 발생하는 주파수 옵셋은 다중 접속 간섭(multi-user interference : MUI)을 발생시킨다. 이러한 다중접속 간섭은 OFDMA 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 주요한 원인 중에 하나이다. 이 논문에서는 시간영역에서 특정 사용자의 신호에 대한 주파수 옵셋의 보상을 한 뒤, 주파수 영역에서 일반적인 채널간간섭 제거 방법을 적용하여 다중 접속 간섭에 의한 영향을 효과적으로 제거하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 부반송파에 위치에 따라 달리 나타나는 다중 접속 간섭의 크기에 따라 간섭 제거 방법을 달리하여 보다 적은 계산량으로 간섭을 제거하는 방법을 제안한다.

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.

In this paper, we have introduced a Code Division Multiplexing transmission method which is similar to OFDM and analyze ECCM performances. We have verified CDM transmission method has a good LPI performance and a feasible ECCM performance. This capability could be useful for reduction of RF interference which occurs when many equipments operate densely in small area. The equipment that uses CDM transmission method supports variable transmission rate and order-wire effectively and conveniently to user. This CDM method has similar ECCM performance comparing to serial DS method. CDM method has good multi-path signal processing capability and could be useful for mobile communication environment.
