By combining the space-time diversity technique and iterative turbo codes, space-time turbo codes(STTCS) are able to provide powerful error correction capability. However, the multi-path transmission and iterative decoding structure of STTCS make the decoder very complex. In this paper, we propose a low complexity decoder, which can be used to decode STTCS as well as general iterative codes such as turbo codes. The efficient implementation of the backward recursion and the log-likelihood ratio(LLR) update in the proposed algorithm improves the computational efficiency. In addition, if we approximate the calculation of the joint LLR by using the approximate ratio(AR) algorithm, the computational complexity can be reduced even further. A complexity analysis and computer simulations over the Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed algorithm necessitates less than 40% of the additions required by the conventional Max-Log-MAP algorithm, while providing the same overall performance.

This paper proposes the acquisition system using the multiple antennas in DS-CDMA system. The conventional acquisition schemes using multiple antennas are the methods to utilize the multi-antenna combining and the fixed multi-beam forming of a serial acquisition. Then, this paper proposes the hybrid acquisition scheme using the fixed multi-beam forming. The numerical results show the performance comparison of two acquisition schemes in terms of the acquisition time ill the multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

본 논문에서는 two-ray 시간선택성 레일레이 페이딩 채널상에서 DPSK 신호를 차동검출 (differential detection)할 때 심볼에러율을 분석한다. 현재까지 수행된 많은 연구는 주파수 선택성 페이딩 채널 및 단일 경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 대상으로 하였고, 다경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 대상으로 한 예는 극히 드물다. 또한 다경로 시간선택성 페이딩 채널을 가장 간단히 모델링 할 수 있는 two-ray 페이딩 채널에 대한 연구도 지금까지 수행된 예가 극히 적다. 본 논문에서는 심볼열의 형태에 따라 수신신호들간의 관계를 세가지 그룹으로 나눈 후 각각의 경우에 대하여 위상 옵셋값을 계산하는 방식을 취하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 위상옵셋과 신호대 잡음비를 인자로 하여 차동검출된 신호가 가지는 위상의 확률밀도 함수를 계산하고 이 함수를 이용하여 심볼에러율을 계산하였다. 결과로부터 two-ray 페이딩 채널의 특성을 결정짓는 지연시간과 지연신호의 전력이 증가함에 따라 위상 옵셋값 및 에러율이 모두 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

이 논문에서는 레일레이 감쇄 채널에서 타이밍 또는 위상 오류를 갖는 혼합 간섭 제거 기법을 이용한 DS/CDMA 시스템의 평균 비트 오류 확률을 분석한다. 유도한 결과를 타이밍 또는 위상 오류를 갖는 일반 상관 수신기의 평균 비트 오류 확률과 비교 분석한다. 평균 비트 오류 확률은 정규 근사법을 이용하여 유도하며, 칩 시간에 대한 타이밍 오류의 비, 위상 오류의 정도, Eb/No에 따라 혼합 간섭 제거 기법을 이용한 수신기의 성능을 분석한다. 혼합 간섭 제거 기법을 이용한 수신기의 평균 비트 오류 확률은 타이밍 또는 위상 오류에 의해 증가하나 타이밍 또는 위상 오류가 작은 경우 오류가 없는 일반 상관 수신기에 비해 성능이 크게 개선된다.

This paper presents an information theoretic outage analysis for physical layer of a cooperative multihop wireless network. Our analysis shows that cooperation by selecting a proper relay at each hop increases the coverage or data rate of the network. In our analysis we consider both symmetric and asymmetric network model. We also investigate the availability of cooperative relay at each hop and show that end-to-end performance of the network depends on the relay selection procedure at each hop. We also verify our analytical results with simulations.

This paper investigates an efficient pre-equalization technique that can be applied on the up-link of a time division duplex (TDD) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. This technique provides the spectral efficiency by omitting the usage of training sequences on the up-link. In this paper, the performance of a variety of pre-equalization techniques is analyzed and simulations are performed by applying power efficient pre-equalization algorithms with phase and amplitude & phase pre-equalization in the Rayleigh fading channel.

The inherent feature of the highly efficient spectrum usage has made Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) preferable for Communication Standards. This study evaluated the performance of a Least Square (LS) estimator for a comb-type pilot insertion scheme over a fast fading Rayleigh channel. A High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is one of the major downsides of the OFDM. The effects of an increase in the number of subcarriers on PAPR and the performance of the LS Estimator were studied. Increasing the number of subcarriers while keeping the pilots overhead constant resulted in improved performance of the LS estimator but the PAPR increased with increasing number of subcarriers. Therefore some trade-off between the number of subcarriers and the performance of the OFDM system is needed. The Mean Square Error (MSE) expression was also derived for the LS estimator in the case of a comb-type pilot arrangement. The MSE expression clearly explains the effects of the number of subcarriers on the performance of the LS estimator.

본 논문에서는 다중 경로 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 MC (Multi-Carrier) CDMA 시스템의 BER 성능을 분석하였고, 최근에 가장 강력한 부호화 기법으로 급부상하고 있는 터보 코드를 MC CDMA 시스템에 적용하여 성능 개선 정도를 평가하였다. 성능 해석 결과, 레일리 페이딩 채널에서는 강력한 성능 개선 기법을 적용하지 않는 한 사용자수와 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값에 관계없이 음성 서비스를 지원하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 터보 코드를 성능 개선 기법으로 적용하면 BER 성능이 매우 개선되고, 사용자 수와 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값에 관계없이 음성 서비스를 충분히 지원할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 예를 들어 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 가 10 dB이고 사용자 수가 10명인 경우, 터보 코드를 적용함에 의해 BER 성능이 약 5$\times$$10^{-3}$ 정도 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

This paper describes an automatic threshold decision using a maximum mismatched correlation value in the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) system. For received PN codes with different single-to-noise ratio (SNR), this scheme is able to detect a desired threshold value in the search mode, i.e. a maximum mismstched correlation value, so that value is utilized as a threshold for the verification mode. Performance of the proposed scheme in both the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed through the Monte Carlo simulation. And hardware implementation of this scheme using a DSP processor is demonstrated. The proposed acquisition shceme is compared to the conventional constant threshold (CT) scheme, and significant improvement of performance is shown. Analysis of system performance in the verification mode is presented, and key quantities such as the false alarm probability and the detection probability are derived in a AWGN channel.

Thermal diode is a device which allows heat to be transferred in one direction by convection due to density difference of fluid ,and blocks heat flow in the opposite direction. It is simple in construction and low in cost. And so, it is used as heat collection system of solar energy. In order to acquire a basic design data, thermal diode heat collection system has been studied experimentally for flux Rayleigh numbers from $2\times10^8\;to\;8\times10^8$. The heat transfer rate of this system is shown 10~47% higher than that of other earlier research results. He correlation obtained in this study is Nu=0.0037(Ra^*)^{0.429}(d^*)^{0.05}\frac{(Lr)}{H}^{0.415}$.
