This paper describes a low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with quasi-orthogonal sequence (IM-OFDM-QOS) and provides performance evaluations of the proposed system. By using QOS as the spreading code, IM-OFDM-QOS scheme can improve the reception performance than IM-OFDM-SS scheme for a given data rate. On the other hand, LDPC code is widely used to the latest wireless communication systems as forward error correction (FEC) scheme and has Shannon-limit approaching performance. Therefore, by applying LDPC code to IM-OFDM-QOS system as FEC scheme, the reception performance can be further improved. Simulation results show that significant signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gains can be obtained for LDPC coded IM-OFDM-QOS system compared to the LDPC coded IM-OFDM-SS system and the SNR gain increases with the higher code rate.

본 논문에서는 IM-OFDM-SS(index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with spread spectrum)와 IM-OFDM-QOS(IM-OFDM with quasi-orthogonal sequence) 시스템을 위한 2 단계 검출 (2-stage detection) 방법에 대해 연구하였다. IM-OFDM-SS/QOS 시스템은 전송할 수열의 인덱스(index)와 변조심볼(modulation symbol)을 이용하여 정보를 전달하며, 수신기(receiver)에서는 인덱스와 변조 심볼을 결합하여 동시에 검출하는 최대 우도(maximum-likelihood) 검출 방법을 사용할 수 있다. 그리고, 인덱스를 먼저 검출하고, 검출한 인덱스에 대한 변조 심볼을 이어서 검출하는 2 단계 방법을 적용할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 IM-OFDM-QOS 시스템에 2 단계 검출 방법을 적용하여 성능을 비교한다. 또한, 두 개 이상의 수열을 동시에 전송하는 경우 2 단계 검출 방법의 한계를 논의한다.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with coded direct index modulation(OFDM-CDIM) system that can achieve higher performance and spectral efficiency than previous OFDM systems is proposed. Previous OFDM with index modulation(IM) and OFDM-IM using dual modes systems allocate additional data to indices of respective subcarriers through combining operation with high complexity and then transmit them. However, the proposed system directly allocates the mode selection information to each subcarrier without performing additional operations. Then, the system selects and transmits one symbol in the selected mode. Furthermore, only the data allocated to the index of the subcarrier is encoded, and a good performance improvement effect is obtained with a high code rate. Simulation results show quantitatively that an OFDM-CDIM system using four modes improves bit error rate performance and transmission efficiency in additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading channel environments compared with a conventional OFDM system using 4-ary quadrature amplitude modulation.

In this study, a novel group-indexed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing index modulation (OFDM-IM) scheme is proposed to achieve a tradeoff between spectral efficiency (SE) and bit-error-rate (BER) performance. In the proposed scheme, the total subcarriers in a group are divided into subgroups, and additional bits are transmitted by subgroup indexing, unlike the conventional OFDM-IM scheme, which uses index bits to select active subcarriers. With the proposed scheme, the additional degree of freedom provided by the number of active subgroups selected provides a tradeoff between spectral efficiency and BER performance. Decoding is performed in steps to reduce computional complexity in the decoder design. Simulaton results show that the number of active subgroups selected influences the proposed scheme's performance in terms of energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, and BER performance.

Cognitive Radio, which is proposed to improve the efficiency of wireless communication systems is the system to share primary user's frequency bands with a secondary user. In this situation, a secondary user uses NC-OFDM (Non-contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) to transmit data effectively without interfering with the primary user's spectrum. However, NC-OFDM, in common with contiguous OFDM, degrades the performance of the system by generating high PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). In this paper, firstly, we analyse PAPR corresponding to the distribution of subcarriers in NC-OFDM. Then the PAPR reductions that employ the PTS (Partial Transmit Sequence) and SLM (Selective Mapping) are evaluated. Finally, the computational complexities of the PTS and SLM adopting pruned-FFT are compared with conventional PTS and SLM. Further, it is shown that the NC-OFDM with pruned-FFT is more efficient than the contiguous OFDM in terms of computational complexity and PAPR reduction performance.

고속 무선통신에 적합한 OFDM 신호를 복조하기 위해서는 빠르고 정확한 심볼의 시작점을 찾는 것이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 고속 무선 LAN에서 사용되는 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)시스템에서 훈련신호를 효율적으로 사용해서 심볼 동기를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 직교성이 뛰어난 PN 코드를 훈련신호로 사용하여 OFDM 심볼의 대략적 프레임 동기는 훈련 신호의 실수 부분을 최소오차 방식을 적용하고 정밀한 심볼동기는 주기가 짧은 PN 코드를 결합시켜 하나의 심볼을 만든 후 상관관계를 적용하여 검출하였다. 그 결과 제안된 알고리즘이 계산량을 현저하게 줄이면서 심볼 동기는 정확하게 검출함을 확인하였다.

The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) regrowth after the clipping is one main disadvantage of space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM). In this paper, we propose a relay assisted low PAPR technique for SFBC-OFDM transmission. For low PAPR at the source (mobile equipment), the relay processes SFBC encoding, which enables the source to transmit clipped single-input single-output (SISO)-OFDM signals without any increase of PAPR. Simulation results show that the clipped signal of proposed scheme is effectively recovered, and the proposed scheme achieves the diversity of SFBC without the complexity of multiple antennas at the source.

Such as disaster rescue in deep water, undersea exploration and monitering for environmental pollution, many applications require the acoustic communication for high data rate over underwater acoustic channel. As underwater channel is very complex and is time-varying, conventional single carrier communication has good performance. In this paper, An adaptive OFDM system is analyzed for high data rate and reliability and rubust service over UWA channels. Through the adaptive system, we show threshold switching for an adaptive algorithm.
