In this paper, we present a method to improve the performance of the four transmit antenna quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) in the coded system. For the four transmit antenna case, the quasi-orthogonal STBC consists of two symbol groups which are orthogonal to each other, but intra group symbols are not. In uncoded system with the matched filter detection, constellation rotation can improve the performance. However, in coded systems, its gain is absorbed by the coding gain especially for lower rate code. We propose an iterative decoding method to improve the performance of quasi-orthogonal codes in coded systems. With conventional quasi-orthogonal STBC detection, the joint ML detection can be improved by iterative processing between the demapper and the decoder. Simulation results shows that the performance improvement is about 2dB at 1% frame error rate.

In this paper, we design the physical layer of Guardian modem for wireless public networks. The physical layer is composed of a dual-band RF (Radio Frequency) transceiver and a baseband-processor with quasi-orthogonal codes. The 2.4/5GHz dual-band RF transceiver can overcome the communication difficulty of dense 2.4GHz band for wireless public environment. Also the quasi-orthogonal code can reduce the required ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) design area. Finally, we analyze the performance of the developed system in viewpoint of data rate, BER (Bit Error Rate), PER (Packet Error Rate). Moreover we verify the performance of the dual-band RF communication.

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 ABAB 형 준직교 시공간 부호(Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code; QOSTBC)에 사용되는 전처리 과정을 설계하는 조건을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 설계 조건은 최대 다이버시티 및 최대 전송율(Full Diversity and Full Rate; FDFR), 단일 심볼 복호 능력, 향상된 부호 이득을 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제공한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 제안된 설계 조건을 이용하여 개선된 ABAB 형 QOSTBC를 설계하였다. 이 QOSTBC는 기존에 Dalton이 제안했던 ABAB 형 QOSTBC 부호 보다 뛰어난 성능을 가질 뿐 아니라, 동일하게 FDFR을 충족하며, PAM 신호 성좌가 사용되는 경우, 단일 심볼 복호가 가능하다.

본 논문은 4개의 송신 안테나를 사용 할 경우 임의의 QAM 변조 방식과 준정지 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널 환경에서 최대 다이버시티 이득을 획득하고 더불어 full-rate을 획득하는 새로운 QO-STBC(quasi-orthogonal space-time block code)를 제안한다. 특히 제안된 부호는 기존의 MDC-QO-STBC(minimum decoding complex QO-STBC)와 같이 준직교 특성을 만족하여 수신단에서 2개의 실수 심벌들로 구성된 4개의 그룹들에 대하여 각각 독립적인 ML(maximum likelihood) 복호가 가능하다는 장점을 갖는다. 전산 실험 결과 제안된 부호는 모든 변조 방식들에 대하여 MDC-QO-STBC와 동일한 비트 오율(BER) 성능을 보여준다. 하지만 제안된 부호는 모든 송신 안테나들에서 성상 회전 이전의 신호들에 비해 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio) 값들이 증가하는 기존의 MDC-QO-STBC와 달리 오직 2개의 송신 안테나들에서만 PAPR의 증가가 발생하도록 수정 가능하며 따라서 실제 송신 시스템 구현 시 훨씬 큰 이점을 갖게 된다.

3G CDMA 시스템의 순방향 링크는 사용자 수의 증가에 따른 제한을 받게 된다. 기존의 채널 구분을 위한 부호인 Walsh 부호는 많은 사용자에 대 한 충분한 크기를 갖지 못하므로, Walsh 부호와 최적의 상관 특성을 갖는 준직교 부호(QOF: Quasi Orthogonal Function)가 고려되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3G CDMA 시스템에서 더 낮은 상관 값과 우수한 성능을 갖는 재킷 행렬 상에서의 준직교 수열 생성에 관해 고찰하였다. 또한 QOF CDMA 시스템의 검파기의 단순화 및 BER 성능 개선을 위한 새로운 검파 구조를 제시하였다. 마지막으로, QOF 마스크 함수를 위한 bent 수열의 간단한 반복 생성에 대해 고찰하였다.

This paper proposes an efficient detection algorithm, which is composed of an interference nulling-and cancelling-based detection algorithm and a maximum likelihood (ML) detection algorithm having reduced numbers of signal points to be tested, for the quasi-orthogonal space-time code with four transmit antennas. When high-level modulation schemes are employed, the algorithm enables the quasi-orthogonal code to achieve near ML performance with a significant reduction in the computational load.

In this paper, we compare the performance of noncoherent DS-CDMA system where orthogonal code is used for identifying the user to reduce multiple access interference or for M-ary orthogonal signaling to improve the performance of demodulation. The effects of M-ary orthogonal signaling on the noncoherent demodulation is investigated and compared with one of coherent demodulation. The analysis results show that M-ary orthogonal signaling gives better performance than quasi-synchronous orthogonal scheme for a moderate number of users when the processing gain is 128 over AWGN channel. In addition, when the number of user is 41, M=64 orthogonal signaling has a similar performance to the quasi-synchronous orthogonal scheme at the BER of 10-2 when the time misalignment between channels is within 1/2 chip and M=256 orthogonal signaling always outperforms the quasi-synchronous orthogonal scheme. Start after striking space key 2 times.

In this paper, we extend the case of information exchange error mitigation for the distributed orthogonal space-time block code (DOSTBC) for two transmit antennas to distributed quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (DQOSTBC) for four transmit antennas. A rate 1 full-diversity DQOSTBC for four transmit antennas is designed. The code matrix changes according to different information exchange error cases, so full diversity is maintained even if not all information exchange is correct. We also perform analysis of the pairwise error probability. The performance analysis indicates that the proposed rate 1 DQOSTBC outperforms rate 1/2 DOSTBC for four transmit antennas at the same transmission rate, which is confirmed by the simulation results.

Jacket matrices, motivated by the complex Hadamard matrix, have played important roles in signal processing, communications, image compression, cryptography, etc. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach to design a simple class of space-time block codes (STBCs) to reduce its peak-to-average power ratio. The proposed code provides coding gain due to the characteristics of the complex Hadamard matrix, which is a special case of Jacket matrices. Also, it can achieve full rate and full diversity with the simple decoding. Simulations show the good performance of the proposed codes in terms of symbol error rate. For generality, a kind of quasi-orthogonal STBC may be similarly designed with the improved performance.
