This paper proposes the algorithm for tracking of the residual phase errors incurred by carrier frequency offset and sampling frequency offset in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems which are suitable for high data rate wireless communications. In the OFDM systems the subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other are modulated by digital data and transmitted simultaneously. The carrier frequency offset causes degradation of signal to noise ratio(SNR) performance and interference between the adjacent subcarriers. The errors in the sampling timing caused by the sampling frequency difference between the transmitter and the receiver sides also cause a major performance degradation in the OFDM systems. The residual error tracking and compensation mechanism is essential in the OFDM system since the carrier and the sampling frequency offset cause the loss of orthogonality resulting in the system performance loss. This paper proposes the scheme where the channel gain and the payload data information are reflected in the residual error tracking process which results in the reduction of the estimation error and the tracking performance improvements under the frequency selective fading wireless channels.

In this paper, we consider an OFDM receiver algorithm design for IEEE 802.11a/p system, which targeting large coverage area while keeping the transmission format unchanged. Particularly, taking into account the inter-symbol interference(ISI) and inter-carrier interference(ICI) that can be induced with large RMS delay spread, we employ channel shortening time-domain equalizer(TEQ) and evaluate the receiver performance in terms of SINR and packet error rate(PER). The preamble defined in IEEE802.11a/p is used to estimated the initial equalizer tap coefficients. Primary purpose of the paper is to give an answer to the question, though partially, whether or not 16-QAM constellation can be used in none line of sight environment at the boundary of a large coverage area. To this end, we first analyze the required TEQ parameters for the target channel environment and then perform simulation for PER performance evaluation in a generic frequency selective fading channel with exponential power-delay profile.

In this paper, we propose a time constant control method for sieving local minimum problem of the multiuser detector using Hopfield neural network for synchronous multi-rate code division multiple access(CDMA) system in selective fading environments and its performance is compared with that of the parallel interference cancellation(PIC). We also assume that short scrambling codes of 256 chip length are used an uplink, suggest a simple correlation estimation algorithm and circuit complexity reduction method by using cyclostationarity property of short scrambling code.It is verified that multiuser detector using Hopfield neural network more efficiently cancels multiple access interference(MAI) and obtain better bit error rate and near-far resistant than conventional detector.

FlashLinQ, one of the typical D2D communication systems developed by Qualcomm, considers a single-tone communication based distributed channel-aware link scheduling method to realize the link scheduling process with low control overheads. However, considering the frequency selective fading effect of practical multi-path channel, the single-tone based SIR estimation causes a critical scheduling error problem because the received single-tone signal has quite different channel gain at each sub-carrier location. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel link scheduling method based on CAZAC (Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation) sequence for D2D communication system. In the proposed method, each link has a unique offset value set for the generation of CAZAC sequences. CAZAC sequences with the cyclic offsets are transmitted using multiple sub-blocks in the entire bandwidth, and then each device can obtain nearly full-band SIR using a good cyclic cross-correlation property of CAZAC sequence.

In the realization of a high speed digital transmission over several tens kbps in mobile communications, it follow delay distortion on a count of transmission path variation by multipath interference waves. Therefore it is inevitably necessary to establish the techniques overcoming the frequency selective fading. In this paper, a feedback running RLS algorithm which is improved the RLS algorithm using exponential weighting factor, is proposed for the control algorithm of DFE and by the computer simulation method, and the performance characteristics of DFE is analyzed for the one-ray and two-ray waves model under the random Gaussian noise. The computer simulation results of proposed RLS algorithm for the $\pi$/4QPSK signal with one symbol time delayed interference signal of S/I = 20［dB］, under the S/N = 10［dB］ with $\lambda$= 0.9 showed excellent following characteristics and equalization characteristics.

This paper is about power line communication(PLC) over the low power voltage grid. The main advantage with power line communication is the use of an existing infrastructure. The PLC channel can be modeled as having multi-path propagation with frequency-selective fading, typical power lines exhibit signal attenuation increasing with length and frequency. OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a modulation technique where multiple low data rate carriers are combined by a transmitter to form a composite high data rate transmission. To implement the multiple carrier scheme using a bank of parallel modulators would not be very efficient in analog hardware. Each carrier in an OFDM is a sinusoid with a frequency that is an integer multiple of a base or fundamental sinusoid frequency. Therefore, each carrier is a like a Fourier series component of the composite signal. In fact, it will be shown later that an OFDM signal is created in the frequency domain, and then transformed into the time domain via the Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT).

OFDM modulation has been used for a transmission scheme in 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-Fi systems to mitigate the effects of frequency selective fading channels. An OFDM modulation is a block transmission scheme because an OFDM symbol consists of multiple subcarriers with narrow bandwidth. Therefore, all OFDM symbols in a frame should be filled out with data and padding bits. Depending on the amount of data, more padding bits than information bits can occupy the last OFDM symbol. Such inefficiency causes the loss of throughput. To overcome this problem, an efficiency padding method is proposed by using the property of DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform). In the proposed method, symbol duration of the last symbol is changed depending on the number used data subcarriers in the last symbol. With numerical evaluation, it is examined that throughput enhancement achieved by the proposed method can be about 20% depending a transmission scheme and data length.

In this paper, we propose a new interference cancellation(IC) receiver for multirate Multicarrier DS/CDMA(MC DS/CDMA) system based on orthogonal variable spreading factor(OVSF) code. The users are assigned different lengths of OVSF codes as a spreading code according to their data rates and the active users having same representative code split into a group for effective cancellation. The code grouping interference cancellation(IC) receiver performs cancellation between the groups first and cancellation within group. This proposed IC receiver can cancel the interferences using desired user's code information and then desired signals are detected. The results show that the large improvement in performance can be attained by group-wise IC scheme and we can make the effective systems compare to conventional ones. The bit error rate of the system is analytically derived in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel and we also compare the system performance with that of multirate DS/CDMA system. We also analyze the performance of the proposed system with same bandwidth and processing gain. The results show the large improvement in performance that can be attained by cancellation scheme.

In this paper we apply the space-time block codes (STBCs), the key technologies for the 4th generation mobile communication systems, to the OFDM system and analyze their performances. First, we derive the signal models for representative STBC schemes and demodulation procedures for each scheme. We also select the parameters for OFDM system considering mobile cellular environments and assign adequate modulation schemes to STBC-OFDM schemes according to the transmission rate from 2bps/Hz to 4bps/Hz. We finally compare and analyze the performances of STBC-OFDM schemes for the selected transmission rates through computer simulations, together with performance comparison when the same modulation scheme being adopted.

Wireless network has high BER characteristic because of path loss, fading, noise and interference. Many packet losses occur without any congestion in wireless network. Therefore, many wireless TCP algorithms have been proposed. SNOOP, one of wireless TCP algorithms, hides packet losses for Fixed Host and retransmits lost packets in wireless network. However, SNOOP has a weakness for bust errors in wireless network. This paper proposes the SACK-SNOOP to improve TCP performance based on SNOOP and Freeze-TCP that use ZWA messages in wireless network. This message makes FH stop sending packets to MH. BS could retransmit error packets to MH for this time. SACK-SNOOP use improved Selective ACK, thereby reducing the number of packet sequences according to error environment. This method reduces the processing time for generation, transmission, analysis of ACK. This time gain is enough to retransmit local burst errors in wireless link. Furthermore, SACK-SNOOP can manage the retransmitted error by extending delay time to FH. The simulation shows that our proposed protocol is more effective for packet losses in wireless networks.
