이 논문에서는 다중 사용자 환경에서 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 빔 형성기와 결합된 space-time decoder를 가진 새로운 시스템 구조와 이 구조에 적합한 적응 빔 형성기법을 제안한다. MIMO-OFDM시스템에서 Nr 개의 안테나를 가진 수신기에 송신안테나 수(Nt)와 동일한 수의 빔 형성기를 설치함으로서 이 빔 형성기에 의해 CCI(cochannel interference)가 제거된 Nt개의 신호들이 출력되고 출력된 신호들은 space-time decoding 되어 diversity 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 CCI가 있는 다중 사용자 환경에서 제안된 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능은 크게 향상된다. MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 제안된 적응 빔 형성기법과 결합된 S-T coding기법을 적용할 경우 수렴특성과 성능 개선 효과를 모의 실험을 통하여 확인한다.

In this paper, we consider the detection of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) without channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. Based on the conventional blind cyclic decoder, we propose an enhanced blind cyclic decoder which has higher system performance than the conventional one. Furthermore, the proposed decoder offers low complexity since it does not require the computation of singular value decomposition.

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 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 this paper, an overview on the ordering sphere decoder (SD) class for space-time codes (STC) will be presented. In SDs, the ordering techniques are considered as promising methods for reducing complexity by exploiting a sorted list of candidates, thus decreasing the number of tested points. First, we will present the current state of art of SD with their advantages and disadvantages. Then, the overview of simply geometrical approaches for ordering is presented to address the question to overcome the disadvantages. The computer simulation results shown that, thanks to the aid of ordering, the ordering SDs can achieve optimal bit-error-rate (BER) performance while requiring the very low complexity, which is comparable to that of linear sub-optimal decoders.

In this paper, a serially concatenated space-time code (SCSTC) with bandwidth efficiency and high data rate is studied. The suggested SCSTC is composed of space-time code, the convolutional code and Interleaver. The SCSTC has a very high BER performance than the conventional space-time code. The BER performance of the suggested SCSTC can be proven by using computer simulation through the iterative decoding method. The first decoder uses Symbol-MAP algorithm and the second decoder uses Bit-MAP algorithm for decoding tile information bits. The simulation results show the performance of the suggested SCSTC is better than the conventional Space-Time Code.

본 논문에서는 uncoded V-BLAST(Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time) 시스템에서 PSK 신호들을 joint-detection하기 위한 fast sphere decoder를 제안한다. 이른바 PSD라 불리는 제안된 디코더는 예비처리단계와 검색단계로 구성된다. PSD의 검색단계에서는 depth-first branch and bound 알고리즘을 통해 검출 후보가 되는 신호원들의 최상우선순위(best-first order)를 정하고 이 순위에 따라 신호를 검출하게 된다. 이 때 제안된 디코더는 최상우선순위(best-first order)를 정하는데 있어 계산복잡성을 줄이는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 PSD에 의해 시스템의 복잡성은 줄이면서 시스템 성능은 ML과 동일하게 유지할 수 있음을 보여준다.

In this paper. we propose an adaptive step-size algorithm for the adaptive interference canceller (AIC) in the space-time trellis coded DS-CDMA system. In the AIC, the performance of the blind LMS algorithms that updates the tap-weight vector of the AIC is heavily dependent on the choice of step-size. To improve the performance of the fixed step-size AIC (FS-AIC), the regular adaptive step-size algorithm is extended in complex domain and applied to the joint AIC and ML decoder scheme. Simulation results show that the joint adaptive step-size AIC (AS-AIC) and ML decoder scheme using the proposed algorithm has boner performance than not only the conventional ML decoder but also the joint FS-AIC and ML decoder scheme without much increase of the decoding delay and complexity.

In this paper, a low-complexity maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder based on QR decomposition, called real-valued LCMLDec decoder or RVLCMLDec for short, is proposed for the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) architecture, a promising candidate for providing high data rates in future fixed wireless communication systems [1]. Computer simulations, in comparison with other detection techniques, show that the proposed decoder is capable of providingthe V-BLAST schemes with ML performance at low detection complexity.
