In this paper, we implement a navigation software of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver based on a commercial purpose GNSS software receiver platform and verify its performance by performing experimental tests for various GNSS signals available in Korea region. The SX3, employed in this paper, is composed of an application program and a Radio Frequency (RF) frontend, and can capture and process multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS signals. All the signal processing procedure of SX3 is accessible by the receiver software designer. In particular for an easy research and development, the Application Programing Interface (API) of the SX3 has a flexible architecture to upgrade or change the existing software program, equipped with a real-time monitoring function to monitor all the API executions. Users can easily apply and experiment with the developed algorithms using a form of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files. Thus, by utilizing this flexible architecture, the cost and effort to develop a GNSS receiver can be greatly reduced.

Quadrature spatial modulation (QSM) utilizes the in-phase and quadrature spatial dimensions to transmit the real and imaginary parts of a single signal symbol, respectively. The improved QSM (IQSM) transmits two signal symbols per channel use through a combination of two antennas for each of the real and imaginary parts. The main contributions of this study can be summarized as follows. First, we derive an upper bound for the error performance of the IQSM. We then design constellation sets that minimize the error performance of the IQSM for several system configurations. Second, we propose a double QSM (DQSM) that transmits the real and imaginary parts of two signal symbols through any available transmit antennas. Finally, we propose a parallel IQSM (PIQSM) that splits the antenna set into equal subsets and performs IQSM within each subset using the same two signal symbols. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed constellations significantly outperform conventional constellations. Additionally, DQSM and PIQSM provide a performance similar to that of IQSM while requiring a smaller number of transmit antennas and outperform IQSM with the same number of transmit antennas.

In this paper, a new signal constellation design method is proposed for Multi-Phase(MP)/CDMA and its performance is compared with that of conventional method. In general MPSK modulation, the neighbor phases are allocated to the symbols that have only one different bit. However, the neighbor phases are allocated to the signal levels that have small differences in amplitude after clipping process since the transmitting signals in MP/CDMA are not binary symbols but the signal levels. The analysis shows that the performance of proposed scheme is much better than that of conventional method and it is better to increase the number of clipping levels than decrease the number of clipping levels and increase the region of guard phase.

Since the signal with strong power need be demodulated first for successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver in non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems, the base station (BS) need inform the near user terminal (UT), which has allocated higher power, of the far UT's modulation mode. To avoid unnecessary signaling overhead of control channel, a blind detection algorithm of NOMA signal modulation mode is designed in this paper. Taking the joint constellation density diagrams of NOMA signal as the detection features, the deep residual network is built for classification, so as to detect the modulation mode of NOMA signal. In view of the fact that the joint constellation diagrams are easily polluted by high intensity noise and lose their real distribution pattern, the wavelet denoising method is adopted to improve the quality of constellations. The simulation results represent that the proposed algorithm can achieve satisfactory detection accuracy in NOMA systems. In addition, the factors affecting the recognition performance are also verified and analyzed.

This paper deals with the performance anlysis of CCA adaptive equalization algorithm, that is used for reduction of intersymbol interference at the receiving side which occurs in the time dispersive communication channel. Basically, this algorithm is borned for the solving phase unrecovery problem in the CMA equalizer, and the comines the concept of DDA (Decision Directed Algorithm) and RCA (Reduce Constellation Algorithm). The DDA has a stable convergence characteristics in unilevel signal, but not in the number of levels in multilevel signal such as QAM, so it has unstable problem. The RCA does not provide reliable initial convergence. And even after convergence, the equalization noise due to the steady state misadjustment exhibited by it is very high as compared to DDA. For the solving the abovemensioned point, the CCA adaptive eualization alogorithm has borned. In order to performance analysis of CCA algorithm, the recovered signal constellation that is the output of the equalizer, the convergence characteristic by the residual isi and MD (maximum distortion), the SER characteristic are used by computer simulation and it was compared with the DDA, RCA respectively. As a result of simulation, the DDA has superior performance than other algoithm, but it has a convergence unguarantee and unstability in the multilevel signal. In order to solving this problem, the CCA has more good performance than RCA in every performance index.

Blind equalizers recover the transmitted data using signal's statistical characteristics only. Because of its computational simplicity and fast convergence rate, CMA is widely used in practice. Blind equalizers, however, converge much slowly than conventional equalizers which use the training signals. In order to improve the convergence rate, many modified blind equalization algorithms have been proposed. Among those, Normalized CMA (NCMA) was applied to increase the convergence rate by using the large step size. Unfortunately it can only be applied for the constant modulus signal constellation scheme. this paper, we propose the Selective NCMA (SNCMA) that improve the convergence rate of blind equalization algorithms by using NCMA for non-constant modulus signalling method such as QAM constellation. We achieved fast start-up convergence rate and reduced steady-state residual error.

To estimate for an error signal with sigmoid nonlinearity what reduced constellation applies closed eye pattern in the initial equalization, there can be improves problems of previous soft decision-directed algorithm that increasing estimate complexity and decreasing of convergence speed when substitute high-order constellation. The characteristic of sigmoid function is adjusted by a mean and a variance parameter, so it depends on adjustment of variance that what reduced constellation $values(\gamma)$ can have ranges between + $\gamma$ and - $\gamma$. In this paper, we proposed Variable Modulus Algorithm (VMA) that can be improving a performance of steady-state by adjustment of variance when equalization works normally and each cluster of constellation decrease.

It is very important to reduce the PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) in the OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) communication system. We propose an ACE(Active Constellation Extension) method that does not require the side information unlike the conventional PTS and SLM method. This ACE method is to clip the OFDM signal for the PAPR reduction. Then, the basic constellation actively moves into the higher level of M-QAM for the constellation extension due to the clipping. The already existing M-QAM system can be available so that it can be easily realized. So, we can get the target PAPR by the extension of the constellation level. In this paper, we can find the PAPR reduction of 4 dB by the 16-QAM extension, and can achieve the target PAPR by the 64-QAM ACE(Active Constellation Extension).

In this parper, the performance of trellis coded DS/SSMA system using feedforward trellis encoder with sasymmetric signal constellation are evaluated over AW(In channel. The numerical results of trellis coded 4 PSK(code rate 1/2)and 8-PSK(code rate2/3) are calculated for 2-state and 4-state cases and compared with those of the Boudreau's system using feedback trellis encoder without optimizing the signal constellation. The method of moments is employed to evaluate the multiple access interference, in conjunction with the generalized transfer function techniques for trellis code. The numerical results show that the proposed system in this paper is always better than the Boudreau's system over AWGN channel; particularly at $P_b:10$, $0.2dB\sim2.4dB$ improvement over AWGN channel are obtained.

This paper deals with the performance improvement by eliminating loop interference signal and inserting adaptive equalizer for phase compensation in OFDMA based Wibro relay station. The Wibro relay station is used for the extension of communication service area and for throughput improvement of base station. The loop interference is important factor of performance determination of relay station when transmitter and receiver is very closely located. In order to design interference canceller, we generated base-band OFDMA signal and then transmitted the signal along with pilot tones alined with two different combinations for training mode. And then, we generated received fading signal due to the loop interference added noise to the received signal. In the receiver, the transmitted signal is recovered by elimination of the interference signal with channel estimate and compensating phase by adaptive equalizer. The performance improvement was verified by computer simulation which show channel estimation, constellation of signal and BER characteristics according to the variation of SNR ratio.
