For the purpose of estimation of time variant frequency selective transmission channels, reference symbols are usually employed. The bit error performance of LTE OFDM systems is analyzed in the case of LTE standard reference symbol arrangement. Results show that LTE OFDM system with this LTE reference symbol arrangement is robust against Doppler time variant fading. However, the performance of that system is degraded due to channel estimation error in frequency domain. An equidistant arrangement with a diamond shape structure of reference symbols, however having 4 subcarriers distance in frequency domain, is suggested for the optimal channel estimation.

The access to literary works, including fictions, has focused on descriptive elements, and the subject access has been confined to denotative elements such as the subject matter, name of character and geographical name, etc, which appear in the work. This practice will not lead to the essence of subject of fiction, and does not reflect the demand of users for the subject who pursue aesthetic experience. In this study, concepts of symbol and motif and their possibility to be used as subject access point are considered to enhance a subject access scheme. In addition, this study tries to build the scheme of symbol and motif by using the glossary as the source of information. The composed schemes are applied to 20th century Korean fictions and its usability and limits are discussed.

This research conducted a comparative analysis of two communication systems. The first system utilizes a conventional series configuration consisting of a symbol-rate least mean square (LMS) equalizer followed by a timing recovery loop. The second system introduces an innovative approach that integrates a symbol-rate LMS equalizer and a timing recovery component within a single loop, allowing mutual feedback between the two blocks. In this integrated system, the equalizer also provides timing error information, thereby eliminating the requirement for a separate threshold error detector. This study examines the performance curves of both system configurations. The simulation results revealed that the integrated system may offer improved stability in terms of multiple transmission challenges, including phase and frequency offsets and intersymbol interference. Further analysis and discussion highlight the significant insights and implications of the proposed architecture. Overall, the present findings provide an alternative perspective on the joint implementation of equalization and timing recovery in communication systems.

In this paper a simpel algorithm for all-digial high speed symbol synchronization is proposed. The proposed algorithm has a structure based on BECM (band-edge component maximization). The algorithm requires only tow samples per symbol for its operation. We analyze and evaluate performance of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the gardner algorithm in narrowband.

This paper proposes symbol decoding schemes combined with channel estimation techniques for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) systems in fading channels. sThe proposed symbol decoding schemes are consisted of a symbol decoding technique and channel estimation techniques. The symbol decoding based on Viterbi algorithm is achieved by matching the length of branch word from encoder trellis to the codeword length of symbol candidate on decoder trellis. Three combination schemes are described and their error performances are compared. The first scheme is to combine a symbol decoding technique with a training channel estimation technique. The second scheme joins a decision directed channel estimation technique to the first scheme. The time varying channel transfer functions are tracked by the decision directed channel estimation technique and the channel transfer functions used in the symbol decoder are updated every COFDM symbol. Finally, In order to reduce the effect of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) between adjacent subchannels, deinterleaved average channel estimation technique is combined. The error performances of the three schemes are significantly improved being compared with that of zero forcing equalizing schemes.

For complex channel blind equalization, this study presents the performance and characteristics of two complex blind information theoretic learning algorithms (ITL) which are based on minimization of Euclidian distance (ED) between probability density functions compared to constant modulus algorithm which is based on mean squared error (MSE) criterion. The complex-valued ED algorithm employing constant modulus error and the complex-valued ED algorithm using a self-generated symbol set are analyzed to have the fact that the cost function of the latter forces the output signal to have correct symbol values and compensate amplitude and phase distortion simultaneously without any phase compensation process. Simulation results through MSE convergence and constellation comparison for severely distorted complex channels show significantly enhanced performance of symbol-point concentration with no phase rotation.

In this paper, we proposed the receive decoder and Virterbi algorithm with sliding multiple symbol detection using MLSE. the informationis transmitted by the phase difference of the adjacent channel signal at the .pi./4 shift QPSK. In order to apply the .pi./4 shift QPSK to TCM, we use the signal set expansion and the signal set partition by the phase differences. And the Viterbi decoder containing branch mertrice of the squared Euclidean distance of the first, second and Lth order phase difference is introduced in order to extract the information in the differential detection of the Trellis-Coded .pi./4 shift QPSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder and receiver are conceptually same to the sliding multiple symbol detection method using the MLSE. By uisng this method, the study shows that the Trellis-Coded .pi./4 shift QPSK is an attractive scheme for the power and the bandimited systems while also improving the BER performance when the Viterbi decoder is employed to the Lth order phase difference metrics.

In this paper, we propose a new frame structure and frame synchronization algorithm for OFDM burst mode transmission. On the contrary to conventional OFDM symbol based methods, the proposed preamble for symbol frame synchronization is designed independently in time domain in arbitrary length and is placed at the beginning of the frame. The proposed frame synchronization algorithm by using the preamble is working independent of frequency offset and robust to serious channel environment.

This paper presents our investigation for the effect of symbol timing errors in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink systems. We express the symbol timing errors between users as the symbol timing misalignments with respect to the desired user. Then, we derive an explicit expression of the average effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. (SINR) as a function of the maximum value of the symbol timing misalignments. Based on the resulting SINR degradation, we evaluate the SINR gain with guard subcarriers in order to mitigate the effect of the symbol timing misalignments.

A spectrally encapsulated (SE) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) precoding scheme for wireless short packet transmission, which can suppress the out-of-band emission (OoBE) while maintaining the advantage of the cyclic prefix (CP)-OFDM, is proposed. The SE-OFDM symbol consists of a prefix, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) symbol, and a suffix generated by the head, center, and tail matrices, respectively. The prefix and suffix play the roles of a guard interval and suppress the OoBE, and the IFFT symbol has the same size as the discrete Fourier transform symbol in the CP-OFDM symbol and serves as an information field. Specifically, as the center matrix generating the IFFT symbol is orthogonal, data and pilot symbols can be allocated to any subcarrier without distinction. Even if the proposed precoder is required to generate OFDM symbols with spectral efficiency in the transmitter, a corresponding decoder is not required in the receiver. The proposed scheme is compared with CP-OFDM in terms of spectrum, OoBE, and bit-error rate.
