This paper proposes a joint timing synchronization, channel estimation, and data detection for the impulse radio ultra-wideband systems. The proposed timing synchronizer consists of coarse and fine timing estimation. The synchronizer discovers synchronization points in two stages and performs adaptive threshold based on the maximum pulse averaging and maximum (MAX-PA) method for more precise synchronization. Then, iterative channel estimation is performed based on the discovered synchronization points, and data are detected using the selective rake (S-RAKE) detector employing maximal ratio combining. The proposed synchronizer produces two signals-the start signal for channel estimation and the start signal for start frame delimiter (SFD) detection that detects the packet synchronization signal. With the proposed synchronization, channel estimation, and SFD detection, an S-RAKE receiver with binary pulse position modulation binary phase-shift keying modulation was constructed. In addition, an IEEE 802.15.4a channel model was used for performance comparison. The comparison results show that the constructed receiver yields high performance close to perfect synchronization.

The problem of locating a periodically inserted frame synchronization pattern in random data for a binary pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) digital communication system over a additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel with co-channel interference is considered. The performance degradation of frame synchronization for the correlation rule due to the presence of co-channel interference is shown. The maximum likelihood(ML) decision rule for the frame synchronization over an AWGN channel with co-channel interference is derived. For the entire range of SNR considered, the ML frame synchronization rule obtains about 1dB signal energy gain over the correlation rule. Specially, the ML rule obtains as much as 2dB gain over the correlation rule when the SNR is greater than 0dB.

In the W-CDMA system, cell search is one of the imporant functions of the mobile station searching for a cell and achieving spreading code and time synchronization to its downlink scrembling code. For the methods of cell search to optimize codes, three stages are considered: 1) slot synchronization, 2) frame synchronization, and 3) scrambling code identification. Channels for cell search are Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH), Secondary Synchronization Channel(S-SCH), and Common Pilot Channel (CPICH). In this paper, cell search is analyzed based on simulation. Rake receiver provides improvement of Performance as an increase of bandwidth because there are more available multipaths. In this paper, the performance of W-CDMA system employing RAKE receiver is evaluated by computer simulation over the types of ITU_R wideband channel model and spreading rate. The result shows that the performance of CDMA adapting RAKE receiver is improved by the increase of multipath components in equal level of the received power.

We propose a robust channel estimation method against imperfect synchronization in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) downlink systems. We address time and frequency synchronization, and the channel estimation at the same time, and try to minimize the error propagation from the time and frequency synchronization steps into the chailnel estimation. The simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation method outperforms the conventional algorithms by about 3dB, and circumvents the problem of mismatch among the synchronization tasks.

In this paper, we analyses transmission performance of communication security(COMSEC) bit synchronization information over the single channel found and airborne radion system in variable message format system. Experimental results demonstrate the robust characteristics of the COMSEC bit synchronization information in $10^{-1}\sim10^{-5}$ of bit error channel and the relationship of time duration of bit synchronization and probability of synchronization detection.

It is very import role to increase communication quality that fast detection of random sequence synchronization fail in synchronous stream cipher system using initial synchronization mode. Generally it sends additional information to detect random sequency synchronization fail. But we can't transmit additional informations to decide synchronization fail in a system using RMVD to correct channel error. In this paper we propose a method to detect synchronization fail in the receiver even though a system using RMVD has no margin to send additional information, For detecting random sequency synchronization fail we decipher receiver data analyze probability of transition rate for pre-determined period and decide synchronization fail using calculated transition rate probability. This proposed method is fast very reliable and robust in noisy channel and is easily implemented with hardware.

In this paper, we have propose a preamble structure and synchronization/channel estimation method for UWB-MIMO which has 960Mbps transmit rate. The proposed structure is a compatible preamble structure for synchronization/channel estimation used by MIMO in MB-OFDM(Multi-Band OFDM) systems that are one of the standard systems of MBOA. The system is compatible with MB-OFDM using the proposed preamble structure. In this paper, we argue the problem in receiver part used by MIMO technique. And we simulate the proposed preamble for using synchronization/channel estimation. The simulation result shows the same performance compared with single receiver antenna.

In this work, Cell search which is one of the important abilities of W-CDMA system in Reyleigh s fading channel is studied by using Cell Searcher of asynchronous IMT-2000 system(3GPP) and Cell - search simulation. For the methods of cell search to optimize codes, three stages are considered: 1) slot synchronization, 2) frame synchronization, and 3) scrambling code identification. It is found that key system parameters such as Primary Synchronization Channel (P-SCH), Secondary L Synchronization Channel(S-SCH), and Common Pilot Channel (CPCH) loading factor are optimized. It is noted that the smaller Optimal threshold value, the larger SNR of the received singnal. Therefore, It is important that the optimal threshold value is selected in the region of SNR
