LDPC decoder architectures are generally classified into serial, parallel and partially parallel architectures. Conventional method of LDPC decoding in general give rise to a large number of computation operations, mass power consumption, and decoding delay. It is necessary to reduce the iteration numbers and computation operations without performance degradation. This paper studies horizontal shuffle scheduling(HSS) algorithm and self-correction normalized min-sum(SC-NMS) algorithm. In the result, number of iteration is half than conventional algorithm and performance is almost same between sum-product(SP) and SC-NMS. Finally, This paper implements high-speed LDPC decoder based on FPGA. Decoding throughput is 816 Mbps.

The problem of optimal channel sensing in heterogeneous cognitive networks is considered to maximize the system throughput performance. The characteristics of an optimal operating sensing point maximizing the overall system rate are investigated under several rate criteria including the sum rate, the minimum of the primary and secondary rates, and the secondary rate with a guaranteed primary rate. Under the sum rate criterion, it is shown that the loss by imperfect sensing is no greater than half of the sum rate achieved by the perfect time sharing approach in a two user case if the sensing point is optimally designed.

In this paper, we propose a user selection method to maximize the sum-rate of downlink over opportunistic beamforming. The throughput of an opportunistic beamforming with non-uniformly distributed or a small number of users can decrease. In order to improve the throughput, we propose a scheduling method that does not use SINR or SNR but uses the effective channel gain of each user obtained from the SINR or SNR feedback. The proposed method makes it possible to select users flexibly according to the distribution of users. In numerical results, we show that the proposed methods improve the average sum-rate about 60% when users are distributed non uniformly.

This paper proposes a high-throughput and multi-mode quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoder based on a fully parallel structure. The proposed QC-LDPC decoder employs the fully parallel structure to provide very high throughput. The high interconnection complexity, which is the general problem in the fully parallel structure, is solved by using a broadcasting-based sum-product algorithm and proposing a low-complexity cyclic shift network. The high complexity problem, which is caused by using a large amount of check node processors and variable node processors, is solved by proposing a combined check and variable node processor (CCVP). The proposed QC-LDPC decoder can support the multi-mode decoding by proposing a routing-based interconnection network, the flexible CCVP and the flexible cyclic shift network. The proposed QC-LDPC decoder is operated at 100 MHz clock frequency. The proposed QC-LDPC decoder supports multi-mode decoding and provides 8.1 Gbps throughput for a (1944, 1620) QC-LDPC code.

The opportunistic spatial orthogonalization (OSO) scheme, proposed by Cong Shen and Michael P. Fitz, allows the existence of secondary users during the period in which the primary user is occupying all licensed bands. This paper introduces an active secondary user selection algorithm which mitigates the interference from the primary user transmitter to the secondary user receiver based on single-input multi-output system without altering a primary user's transmission strategy. A proposed algorithm guarantees the minimum average throughput of the primary user and overcomes the average sum throughput of a conventional OSO. We have numerically analyzed the average throughput under various constraints.

This paper proposes a systematic design for a precoding codebook for a transmit-ing space-division multiple access (TN-SDMA) sharing spectrum with existing fixed wireless service (FWS). Based on an estimated direction angle of a victim FWS system, an interfering transmitter adaptively constructs a codebook, forming a transmit in the direction angle, while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. Sum throughput results indicate that the throughput loss of TN-SDMA relative to a practical SDMA, called per user unitary and rate control ($PU^2RC$), is lower at larger number of transmission antennas, lower signal-to-noise ratio, or a smaller number of users. In particular, a small loss (12% throughput loss) is provided for practical system parameters. Spectrum sharing results confirm that TNSDMA efficiently shares spectrum with FWS systems by reducing protection distance to more than 66 %. Although a TN-SDMA system always has lower throughput compared to $PU^2RC$ in non-coexistence scenarios; it offers an intriguing opportunity to re-use a spectrum already allocated to an FWS.

MB-OFDM UWB system will adopt LDPC codes to enhance the decoding performance with higher data rates. In this paper, we will consider algorithm and architecture of the LDPC codes in MB-OFDM UWB system. To suggest the hardware efficient LDPC decoder architecture, LLR(log-likelihood-ration) calculation algorithms and check node update algorithms are analyzed. And we proposed the architecture of LDPC decoder for the high throughput application of Wimedia UWB. We estimated the feasibility of the proposed architecture by implementation in a FPGA. The implementation results show our architecture attains higher throughput than other result of QC-LDPC case. Using this architecture, we can implement LDPC decoder for high throughput transmission, but it is 0.2dB inferior to the BP algorithm.

The proposed method transmits several reference vectors before the data transmission, and selects the best reference vector to maximize the cell sum rate. The proposed method provides higher sum-rate capacity compared with the previous interferenc alignment. Simulation result exhibits the proposed method improves the sum-rate capacity by 60%.

The recent advances in wireless networks area have led to new techniques, such as small cells or full-duplex (FD) transmission, have also been developed to further increase the network capacity. Particularly, full-duplex communication promises expected throughput gain by doubling the spectrum compared to half-duplex (HD) communication. Because this technique permits one set of frequencies to simultaneously transmit and receive signals. In this paper, we focus on the binary power control for the users and the base stations in full-duplex multiple cellulars wireless networks to obtain optimal sum-rate under the effect interference and noise. We investigate with a scenario in there one carrier is assigned to only one user in each cell and construct a model for this problem. In this work, we apply the binary power control by the its simplification in the implemented algorithm for both uplink and downlink simultaneously to maximize sum data rate of the system. At first, we realize the 2-cells case separately to check the optimal power allocation whether being binary. Then, we carry on with N-cells case in general through properties of binary power control.

This paper considers a linear precoding scheme that achieves near optimal sum rate. While the minimum mean square error (MMSE) precoding provides the better MSE performance at all signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than the zero forcing (ZF) precoding, its sum rate shows superior performance to ZF precoding at low SNR but inferior performance to ZF precoding at high SNR, From this observation, we first propose a near optimal linear precoding scheme in terms of sum rate. The resulting precoding scheme regularizes ZF precoding to maximize the sum rate, resulting in better sum rate performance than both ZF precoding and MMSE precoding at all SNR ranges. To find regularization parameters, we propose a simple algorithm such that locally maximal sum rate is achieved. As a low complexity alternative, we also propose a simple power re-allocation scheme in the conventional regularized channel inversion scheme. Finally, the proposed scheme is tested under the presence of channel estimation error. By simulation, we show that the proposed scheme can maintain the performance gain in the presence of channel estimation error and is robust to the channel estimation error.
