In this paper, we introduce a platform of advanced multiple antenna system based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). The advanced multiple antennas have beamforming gain using array antenna. In array antenna systems, received signal has phase delay caused distance of each antennas, therefore it should compensate with optimum weight vector which calculated by Lagrange algorithm. To implement the presented above procedures using Digital Signal Processor (DSP), we should fixed-point design. The performance of implemented platform is verified through MATLAB$^{(R)}$ simulations with various signal environments.

In this work, we first present our study on the decoding schemes for space-time block code as well as our comments on their complexity. Then, we propose a new modified complex sphere decoding scheme, which has lower computational load than that of conventional complex sphere decoders. In the proposed scheme, the boundary for searching is aided with the intersection of approximate polygon of searching circle and disk of constellation. Therefore, the proposed scheme can reduce the searching boundary while can avoid missing searching points. The performance of the proposed scheme is verified by computer simulation that consolidates our scheme.

A FFT/IFFT processor is the key component for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems based IEEE 802.11n wireless local area network (WLAN). There exists many radix algorithms according to the structure of butterfly as FFT sub-module, each has the pros and cons on hardware complexity. Here, mixed radix algorithms for 64 and 128 FFT/IFFT processors are proposed, which reduce hardware complexity by using mixture of radix-23 and radix-4 algorithms. The proposed algorithm finish calculation within 3.2${\mu}s$ in order to meet IEEE 802.11n standard requirements and it has less hardware complexity compared with conventional algorithms.

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm of space-time block coding and space-frequency block coding using alternate time switch. The traditional alternate time-switched space-time or space-frequency block coding technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system does not provide a good performance with a variety of communication environments. This hybrid algorithm has searched good performance ranges in various environments in view points of mobile speed and doppler frequency. In this paper, we investigate better performance ranges for two algorithms, suggest a hybrid algorithm for dynamically changing communication environments, propose a structure for transmitter and receiver, and show that its performance is better than the traditional algorithm by simulations.

In this study, we propose a limited feedback-based frequency divided group beamforming with sparse space-frequency transmit diversity coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system for ultrareliable low latency communication (URLLC) scenario. The proposed scheme has several advantages over the traditional hybrid beamforming approach, including not requiring downlink channel state information for baseband precoding, supporting distributed multipoint transmission structures for diversity, and reducing beam sweeping latency with little uplink overhead. These are all positive aspects of physical layer characteristics intended for URLLC. It is suggested in the system to manage the multipoint transmission structure realized by distributed panels using a power allocation method based on cooperative game theory. Link-level simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme offers reliability by achieving both higher diversity order and array gain in a nonline-of-sight channel of selectivity and limited spatial scattering.

In order to satisfy 5th generation mobile system's requirements, recently many works have been done in various layers. Especially in physical layer, new waveforms like Filter bank Multi-Carrier(FBMC), Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier(UFMC), Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing(GFDM) have been proposed and their performance have been evaluated. But most previous researches have provided limited information by comparing couple new waveforms each other with different assumptions and simulation parameters. In this paper, we investigate the key technique of each 5G new waveform, and compare them in various aspects and the same simulation environment, and finally provide what waveform is appropriate in different application scenarios.

Powerline communications (PLC) is a promising medium for network access technology where smart grid aided network services can be provided. In the presence of frequency selective fading in the PLC channel, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique for reliable communications. This paper presents a spectral efficient method using a superimposed hidden pilot for OFDM-based PLC systems. Based on the scheme using a hidden pilot, it is possible to estimate the channel with no consumption of bandwidth, but with utilization of power allocated to the hidden pilot. Computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme provides higher achievable data rate than that of the conventional schemes in low voltage and medium voltage transmission lines.

This paper presents a high-speed low-complexity two-bit level pipelined Viterbi decoder architecture for MB-OFDM UWB systems. As the add-compare-select unit (ACSU) is the main bottleneck of the Viterbi decoder, this paper proposes a novel two-bit level pipelined MSB-first ACSU, which is based on 2-step look-ahead techniques to reduce the critical path. The proposed ACSU architecture requires approximately 12% fewer gate counts and 9% faster speed than the conventional MSB-first ACSU. The proposed Viterbi decoder was implemented with $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS standard cell technology and a supply voltage of 1.8V. It operates at a clock frequency of 870 MHZ and has a throughput of 1.74 Gb/s.

This paper proposes a novel concept of adjusting the hardware size in a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) receiver in real time as per the channel parameters such as delay spread, signal-to-noise ratio, transmission rate, and Doppler frequency. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) or inverse FFT (IFFT) size in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/MC-CDMA transceivers varies from 1024 points to 16 points. Two low-power reconfigurable radix-4 256-point FFT processor architectures are proposed that can also be dynamically configured as 64-point and 16-point as per the channel parameters to prove the concept. By tailoring the clock of the higher FFT stages for longer FFTs and switching to shorter FFTs from longer FFTs, significant power saving is achieved. In addition, two 256 sub-carrier MC-CDMA receiver architectures are proposed which can also be configured for 64 sub-carriers in real time to prove the feasibility of the concept over the whole receiver.

OFDM system has very good high spectral efficiency and the robustness to the frequency-selective fading. Because of the high PAPR, OFDM signals can be distorted in nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier). So, to overcome the nonlinear distortion, it is very important to reduce the IMD value. With respect to the BER performance, IMD reduction method is better than the PAPR reduction method. However, IMD reduction method has much more system complexity because of the additional FFT processor in transmitter. In this paper, we study the OFDM communication system based on the IMD reduction method using SPW method. A new IMD reduction method is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. SPW method is to divide the input OFDM data into several sub-blocks and to multiply phase weighting values with each sub-blocks for the reduction of PAPR or IMD. Unlike the conventional method, the system size and computational complexity can be reduced.
