본 논문에서는 Alamouti, Tarokh, Su와 Xia 등에 의해 도입된 직교 시공간 부호를 포함한 임의의 선형 직교 시공간 블록 부호에 대해, 준정지 레일리 페이딩 채널에서의 정확한 비트 오율 성능을 분석한다. 먼저 1차원 심볼 오류 함순(one-dimensional symbol error function, ODSEF)를 정의한다. 이것은 직교 시공간 블록 부호의 정확한 쌍 오류 확률(pairwise error probability)에 의하여 얻어진다. ODSEF와 Cho 와 Yoon의 QAM에 대한 비트 오율 표현을 이용하여, 직교 시공간 블록 부호에 대한 일반적인 표현을 구하고, 이를 이용하여, 선형 직교 시공간 블록 부호의 정확한 폐형의 비트 오율을 구한다.

In this paper, the performance of generic orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) introduced by Alamouti [2], Tarokh [3], and Su and Xia [11] is analyzed. We first define one-dimensional component symbol error function (ODSEF) from the exact expression of the pairwise error probability of an OSTBC. Utilizing the ODSEF and the bit error probability (BEP) expression for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) introduced by Cho and Yoon [9], the exact closed-form expressions for the BEP of linear OSTBCs with QAM in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel are derived. We also derive the exact closed-form of the BEP for some OSTBCs which have at least one message symbol transmitted with unequal power via all transmit antennas.

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.

ABBA codes, a class of quasi-orthognal space-time block codes (QoSTBC) proposed by Tirkkonen and others, allow full rate and a fast maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, but do not have full diversity. In this paper, a linear complex precoder is proposed for ABBA codes to achieve full rate and full diversity. Moreover, the same diversity produce as that of orthogonal space-time block code with linear complex precoder (OSTBC-LCP) is achieved. Meanwhile, the size of the linear complex precoder can be reduced by half without affecting performance, which means the same complexity of decoding as that of the conventional ABBA code is guaranteed.

In the blind Maximum-likelihood (ML) detection for Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC), the problem of ambiguity in determining the symbols has been a great concern. A solution to this problem is to apply semi-blind ML detection, i.e., the blind ML decoding with pilot symbols or training sequence. In order to increase the performance, the number of pilot symbols or length of training sequence should be increased. Unfortunately, this leads to a significant decrease in system spectral efficiency. This work presents an approach to resolve the aforementioned issue by introducing a new method for constructing transmitted information symbol. Thus, by transmitting information symbols drawn from different modulation constellation, the ambiguity can be easily eliminated in blind detection. Also, computer simulations are implemented to verify the performance of the proposed approach.

This work presents a simplified efficient blind detection algorithm for orthogonal space-time codes(OSTBC). First, the proposed decoder exploits a proper decomposition approach of the upper triangular matrix R, which resulted from Cholesky-factorization of the composition channel matrix, to form an easy-to-solve blind detection equation. Secondly, in order to avoid suffering from the high computational load, the proposed decoder applies a sub-optimal QR-based decoder. Computer simulation results verify that the proposed decoder allows to significantly reduce computational complexity while still satisfying the bit-error-rate(BER) performance.

In evaluating the performance of a dual-hop wireless link, the effects of large and small scale fading has to be considered. To overcome this fading effect, several schemes, such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) with orthogonal space time block codes (OSTBC), different combining schemes at the relay and receiving end, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are used in both the transmitting and the relay links. In this paper, we first make compare the performance of a two-hop wireless link under a different combination of space diversity in the first and second hop of the amplify-and-forward (AF) case. Our second task in this paper is to incorporate the weak signal of a direct link and then by applying the channel model of two random variables (one for a direct link and another for a relayed link) we get very impressive result at a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that is comparable with other models at a higher SNR. Our third task is to bring other three schemes under a two-hop wireless link: use of transmit antenna selection (TAS) on both link with weak direct link, distributed Alamouti scheme in two-hop link and single relay antenna with OFDM subcarrier. Finally, all of the schemes mentioned above are compared to select the best possible model. The main finding of the paper is as follows: the use of MIMO on both hops but application TAS on both links with weak direct link and the full rate OFDM with the sub-carrier for an individual link provide a better result as compared to other models.

본 논문에서는 각 단말에 2개 이상의 안테나의 간섭 정렬을 이용한 X채널에서 직교 및 준직교 시공간 블록 부호를 통하여 더 높은 다이버시티와 전력 이득을 달성하고자 했다. 제안한 방법으로 다이버시티 차수는 직교 시공간 블록 부호에서 최대에 도달한 반면, 준직교 시공간 블록 부호에서는 유효 채널 행렬의 비 직교성에 의해 약간의 성능 저하가 나타났다. 수신기의 유효 채널 행렬에서의 유리한 구조에 의해 단순 제로 포싱 수신기는 최대 다이버시티 차수를 달성하는 반면, 간섭 제거 수신기는 성능이 저하되었다. 기존의 방법과 비교했을 때, 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안된 방법이 같은 스펙트럼 효율을 얻으면서, 3-4개의 안테나의 각 단의 직교 시공간 블록 부호의 경우 각각 목표 비트 에러율 10^-4에서 14dB와 16.5bB의 이득을 얻는 것을 증명하였다. 또한 4개의 안테나의 각 단의 준직교 시공간 블록 부호의 경우 같은 목표 비트 에러율에서 10dB의 이득을 얻었다.
