Unlike geostationary satellite communication systems, low-earth orbit(LEO) satellite communication systems move at relatively high speeds, and the angle with the ground device is not fixed and varies over a wide range. The propagation channel condition between satellites and ground nodes cannot be assumed line of sight(LOS) anymore. This paper analyzes the low-orbit multi-path fading satellite channel model that can occur in LEO satellite communication systems and Doppler frequency transition caused by high-speed maneuvering of LEO satellites and presents effective equalization techniques for OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods suitable for multi-path frequency selective fading satellite channel models. In addition, this paper compares and analyzes the performance of OFDM and SC-FDE transmission methods in multipath fading LEO satellite channel environment using the proposed equalization techniques through simulations. Simulation results showed that SC-FDE outpeformed OFDM.

We consider an adaptive bit-loading technique for bit interleaved coded modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(BICM-OFDM) systems. By adjusting transmission parameter of each subcarrier adaptively depending on the subchannel state, the performance of OFDM system can be improved dramatically. In this paper, the number of bits for each subcarrier is allocated to minimize bit error rate keeping the constant throughput for the adaptive transmission technique of BICM-OFDM system which can be applied to real time transmission. Also, We use the discrete Lagrange multiplier method to get the optimum solution under the integer bit allocation constraint. Simulation results show that computational amount of the proposed bit allocation technique is not high and BICM-OfDM system using the proposed technique can get the SNR gain by 2$\~$3 dB over nonadaptive one.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most promising technologies for high data rate wireless communications. OFDM has been adopted in wireless standards such as digital audio/video broadcasting. The combination of OFDM and cooperative diversity techniques can provide the diversity gain and/or increased capacity. In this paper, the cooperative coding using cyclic delay diversity (CDD) for multiuser OFDM systems is introduced. To improve the beneficial effects of relays's cooperation, CDD is adopted in cooperative transmission of relays. Simulation results show the bit error rate (BER) for various consideration. The proposed scheme provides improved performance compared to delay.

OFDM are digital modulation techniques where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other. With this technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. The performance of OFDM systems with various antenna structure are analyzed, where data is transmitted over multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this technique, gauged by the average bit error rate, is analyzed for the OFDM systems dependent upon the various antenna diversities.

Recently, multiuser diversity(MUD) technique is used to improve the performance of OFDM transmission systems. With STBC antenna diversity technique, the performance of OFDM systems can be also improved. Pilot symbol is used for the channel estimation in OFDM systems. However, imperfect channel estimates in this systems degrade the performance. The performance of MUD STBC OFDM systems using pilot symbol, gauged by the bit error rate, is analyzed considering the channel estimation error. Result shows that MUD can improve the required power by a factor of approximately 5 dB for users number 32.

In this paper, an efficient training symbol design with m-sequence is proposed for the MIMO-OFDM based next generation wireless transmission system which supports gigabits per second data rate. In the traditional blute force method, the preamble design is based on the case by case comparison with the system requirements. This paper discusses a training symbol design methodology for the MIMO-OFDM system based on the m-sequence which has been widely used in the spread spectrum communication areas due to its good correlation characteristics. Also the step-by-step design and performance verification method within the limited search space is discussed. The proposed method targets the design of the training symbol which satisfies system requirements for the packet based MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system including automatic gain control(AGC), timing synchronization, frequency and sampling offset estimation, and MIMO channel estimation.

In this paper, Phase noise is analyzed and a novel approach of the nonlinear approximation including second order term of phase noise is presented to analyze and quantize system performance. As results, in QPSK-OFDM system, when PLL loop bandwidth is 5.0 Hz, 1.0 kHB, 0.5 kHz respectively, there are about 0.6 dB, 1.0 dB, 1.7 dB SNR penalties at BER=10$\^$-4/ compared with system without phase noise in AWGN channel. In 16QAM modulation, there are about 1.9 dB, 3.2 dB, 6.7 dB SNR penalties at BER=10$\^$-4/ respectively. At QPSK-OFDM system, comparing the previous linear approximation method with our proposed nonlinear approximation method, there is similar BER performance at phase noise variance lower than 0.02, but certain difference occurs as variance increases more than 0.02. Furthermore, analytical BER results closely match with simulation results in the OFDM system employing QPSK and 16qAM modulation. And, BER performance of QPSK-OFDM system is considerably degraded because of the BER error floor if the phase noise variance becomes larger than 0.03.

This paper describes and analyzes the performance of MB-OFDM UWB system that is suggested as one of standards in IEEE 802.15 TG3a for UWB application. UMBchannel model that has been contributed in IEEE 802.15 SG3a is a wideband channel model of 6Ghz bandwidth, so we modify it to have 3 subband channels that are obtained by filtering conventional U Channel, considering center frequency hopping and system bandwidth. From simulations, we compare performances of MB-OFDM system in AWGN and WB channel and verify the frequency and time domain diversity gains from time End frequency spreading technique. We also compare and analyze the performance of proposed SFBC MB-OFDM with that of conventional MB-OFDM system. Simulation results show SFBC MB-OFDM system outperforms conventional MB-OFDM system about 1.5dB of Eb/No at target BER of 10$^{-m4}$./.
