순환 지연 다이버시티(CDD, cyclic delay diversity) 기법은 주파수 다이버시티를 이용하여 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 향상시키는 기법이다. 또한, 선형 프리코딩 기법은 채널 상황 정보(CSI, channel state information)를 이용하여 통신 시스템의 성능을 크게 증가시킬 수 있는 기법이다. 본 논문은 기존의 CDD-OFDM 송신 다이버시티 기법보다 향상된 성능을 얻기 위하여 선형 프리코딩 기법의 적용을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 채널 상황 정보 feedback이 필요한 FDD(frequency division duplex) 시스템 보다, feedback을 사용할 필요 없이 채널 가역성(reciprocity)의 성질을 이용할 수 있는 TDD(time division duplex) 시스템에서 더욱 효과적이다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 기법이 기존의 프리코딩을 사용하지 않는 CDD-OFDM 시스템에 비하여 target BER $10^{-4}$에서 3km/h의 이동성(mobility)을 갖는 flat 페이딩 채널과 Pedestrian A(Ped A) 채널, 120km/h의 이동성을 갖는 flat 페이딩 채널과 Vehicular A(Veh A) 채널에서 각각 6.3dB. 6.2dB, 2.8dB, 3.8dB의 SNR 성능 이득을 얻는 것을 보인다.

This paper proposes a high-efficiency power amplifier (PA) with uneven bias. The proposed amplifier consists of a driver amplifier, power stages of the main amplifier with class AB bias, and an auxiliary amplifier with class C bias. Unlike other CMOS PAs, the amplifier adopts a current-mode transformer-based combiner to reduce the output stage loss and size. As a result, the amplifier can improve the efficiency and reduce the quiescent current. The fully integrated CMOS PA is implemented using the commercial Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company 0.18-${\mu}m$ RF-CMOS process with a supply voltage of 3.3 V. The measured gain, $P_{1dB}$, and efficiency at $P_{1dB}$ are 29 dB, 28.1 dBm, and 37.9%, respectively. When the PA is tested with 54 Mbps of an 802.11g WLAN orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signal, a 25-dB error vector magnitude compliant output power of 22 dBm and a 21.5% efficiency can be obtained.

Resource allocation plays a crucial role in multiuser multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems to improve overall system performance. While previously proposed resource allocation algorithms are mainly designed from the point of view of the information-theoretic, we formulate the resource allocation problem as an average bit error rate (BER) minimization problem subject to a total power constraint when considering employing realistic MIMO detection techniques. Subsequently, we derive the optimal subcarrier and power allocation algorithms for three types of well-known MIMO detectors, including the maximum likelihood (ML) detector, linear detectors, and successive interference cancellation (SIC) detectors. To reduce the complexity, we also propose a two-step suboptimal algorithm that separates subcarrier and power allocation for each detector. We also analyze the diversity gain of the proposed suboptimal algorithms for various MIMO detectors. Simulation results confirm that the proposed suboptimal algorithm for each detector can achieve a comparable performance with the optimal allocation with a much lower complexity. Moreover, it is shown that the suboptimal algorithms perform better than the conventional algorithms that are known in the literature.

무선 ATM의 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜에서의 통계적 다중화를 실현하기 위해서는 중앙의 무선 ATM 액세스점(Wireless ATM Access Point)에 의해 동적 슬롯 할당을 수행할 수 있는 스케쥴링 기능이 제공되어야 한다. 그러므로 AP에서는 이동국으로부터 전송된 동적 파라미터(Dynamic Parameter)를 이용해 중앙 집중식 스케쥴링 기법을 적용하는 동적 대역 할당 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 묵시적인 방법에 의한 간접적인 동적 파라미터의 전송을 통해 동적 슬롯 할당이 가능한 새로운 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방식을 알고리즘의 적시성과 정확성 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보이는 것을 확인함으로써 동적 파라미터에 전적으로 의존하지 않고 효율적인 스케쥴링이 수행될 수 있음을 보였다.

In multicell wireless systems with insufficient frequency reuse, user transmission will suffer other-cell interference (OCI). Cell cooperation is an effective way to mitigate OCI and increase the system sum rate. An adaptive scheme for serving one user in each cell was proposed in [1]. In this paper, we generalize that scheme by serving two users in each cell with adaptive zeroforcing beamforming (ZF) strategies. Based on our derived statistics of the signal-to-noise plus interference ratios, we choose the scheme to maximize the total ergodic sum-rate based on user locations. Through the numerical examples, we show that the total system sum rate can be improved by selecting appropriate transmitting strategy adaptively. As a result, our proposed system can explore spatial multiplexing gain without additional power and thus improves total system sum rate significantly.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 주파수 이용효율을 높이고 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능하며 주파수 선택적 페이딩에 강한 전송 방식이지만, 다수 부반송파(sub-carrier)들의 중첩현상으로 인해 전송 신호의 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio)이 크다는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 PAPR의 감소와 PAPR의 연산량 감소를 위해, PTS 기법에 clipping 개념을 적용하여 두개의 임계 레벨을 갖는 적응형 PTS(Partial Transmit Sequence) 기법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해, 제안한 기법이 만족할 만한 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능을 유지하면서 clipping delta 값(Δ)을 1dB, 2dB 그리고 3dB로 증가 할수록 clipping 개념이 없는 기존의 적응형 PTS 기법보다 PAPR의 연산량을 크게 줄임으로써 시스템의 데이터 처리 속도면에서 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

In this paper, we investigate design criteria and the performance of the space-frequency bit-interleaved coded modulation (SF-BICM) systems in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. To determine the key parameters that affect the performance of SF-BICM, we derive the pairwise error probability (PEP) in terms of the determinant of the matrix corresponding to any two codewords. We prove that the bit-interleavers do the function of distributing the nonzero bits uniformly such that two or more nonzero bits are seldom distributed into the symbols that are transmitted in the same frequency bin. This implies that the bit-interleavers transform an SF-BICM system into an equivalent 1-antenna system. Based on this, we present design criteria of SFBICM systems that maximizes the diversity order and the coding gain. Then, we analyze the performance of SF-BICM for the case of 2-transmit antennas and 2-multipaths by deriving a frame error rate (FER) bound. The derived bound is accurate and requires only the distance spectrum of the constituent codes of SF-BICM. Numerical results reveal that the bound is tight enough to estimate the performance of SF-BICM very accurately.

In cellular orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) networks, co-channel interference (CCI) leads to severe degradation in the BER performance. To solve this problem, maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) CCI cancellation scheme has been proposed in the literature. MLE CCI cancellation scheme generates weighted replicas of the transmitted signals where weights represent the estimated channel transfer functions. The replica with the smallest Euclidean distance from the received signal is selected and data are detected. When the received power of the desired and interference signals are nearly the same, the BER performance is degraded. In this paper, we propose a closed-loop power control (PC) scheme capable of detecting the equal received power situation at the mobile station (MS) receiver by using the newly introduced parameter power ratio (PR). When this situation is detected, the MS sends a feedback to the desired base station (BS) which boosts the transmission power in the next frame. At cell edge where signal to interferer ratio (SIR) is considered to have average value between -5 dB and 10 dB, computer simulations show that the proposed CCI cancellation scheme has a gain of 7 dB at 28 Km/h.

분산 다중 안테나 기반의 상호협력 통신(cooperative MIMO)을 구현하기 위해 대역 효율성 있는 두 가지 방식의 상호협력 전송 프로토콜을 제안하고 비교 분석한다. 같은 시분할 슬롯에 전송된 모든 심볼들 간에 간섭이 없다고 가정한 경우에 대해 각 전송 프로토콜의 BER 성능을 AF (Amplify-and-Forward)와 DF (Decode-and-Forward) 방식에서 각각 분석한다. 수학적 분석과 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 전송 방식이 직접 전송 방식(direct transmission)에 비해 대역폭을 추가로 사용하지 않고 많은 이득이 있음을 보여준다.

In this paper, we study an optimized block-diagonal zero-forcing (BD-ZF) precoder in a two-tiered cognitive network consisting of a macro cell (MC) and a small cell (SC). By exploiting multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output Vandermonde-subspace frequency-division multiplexing (VFDM) transmission, a cognitive SC can coexist with an MC. We first devise a cross-tier precoder based on the idea of VFDM to cancel the interference from the SC to the MC. Then, we propose an optimized BD-ZF intra-tier precoder (ITP) to suppress multiuser interference and maximize the throughput in the SC. In the case where the dimension of a provided null space is larger than that required by the BD-ZF ITP, the optimized BD-ZF ITP can collect all limited channel gain by optimizing rotating and selecting matrices. Otherwise, the optimized BD-ZF ITP is validated to be equivalent to the conventional BD-ZF ITP in terms of throughput. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the throughput improvement of the proposed optimized BD-ZF ITP and to discover the impact of imperfect channel state information.
