In this paper, the performance of a multiuser diversity system combined with a multi-element transmit antenna system is analyzed under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading. A measure of system .level performance is an average channel capacity as a function of the number of users and antennas. Average channel capacity is obtained from the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) distribution combined by both transmit diversity(TD) at each link and multiuser diversity at system level. Numerical results show that closed-loop antenna techniques provide an additional gain with multiuser diversity system due to array gain, even though space diversity gain reduces multiuser diversity gain. On the other hand, the space-time block coding(STBC) that provides full order space diversity gain only has a destructive influence on multiuser diversity.

The present paper defines diversity gain for stationary users. This deals in particular with gathering the received signal statistics over possible user positions and orientations in space rather than over time, and to define a meaningful diversity gain related to the cumulative improvement of the performances of the 1% users with the worst receiving conditions. The definition is used to evaluate diversity gain for some typical small antennas in an extreme environment with only line-of-sight (LOS). The LOS environment is regarded as user-distributed 3D-random LOS caused by the statistics of an ensemble of stationary users with arbitrary orientations in the horizontal plane (2D), and with arbitrary orientations of their wireless devices in the vertical plane. Thus, an overall 3D-random distribution of user orientation is assumed.

In cooperative communication systems, the source terminal transmits signal to the destination terminal with the aid of partner terminals. Therefore, the source terminal obtains extra spatial diversity gain. As a result, its performance is enhanced in term of higher achievable transmission rate, the larger coverage range, and the lower bit-error-rate (BER). Space-time codes (STCs) have been applied to cooperative communication systems in distributed fashion, in which the signal is spatially time exploited to obtain gains analogous to those provided by STCs. In this work, we consider the application of orthogonal Space-time Block Codes (OSTBCs) to the cooperative communication systems to further achieve higher diversity gain. The advances of the proposed approach are verified via computer simulations.

A simple measurement system is built to estimate the dual-antenna diversity gain at 2.4GHz easily in open lab environment. To obtain multipath fading propagation channel, the system consists of two transmission horn that placed on opposite direction and a rotating stage mechanically changing the position of test dual-antenna with time over distance greater than one wavelength. Estimated diversity is nearly same as theoretical value such that measured diversity gain of 30mm separated is about 6dB similar to theoretical value of 5.7dB and increases monotonically with the increasing separation distance as predicted by the theory. Proposed measurement system that is simple enough to fit in a small space can evaluate the performance of various dual-antennas with a reasonable accuracy with lower 5% difference between the ten sets of measured waveform distribution and theoretical Rayleigh cumulative distribution.

Since the publication of Alamouti's famous space-time block code, various quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QSTBC) for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) fading channels for more than two transmit antennas have been proposed. It has been shown that these codes cannot achieve full diversity at full rate. In this paper, we present a simple feedback scheme for rich scattering (flat Rayleigh fading) MIMO channels that improves the coding gain and diversity of a QSTBC for 2$^n$ (n=3, 4, ${\cdots}$) transmit antennas. The relevant channel state information is sent back from the receiver to the transmitter quantized to one or two bits per code block. In this way, signal transmission with an improved coding gain and diversity near to the maximum diversity order is achieved. Such high diversity can be exploited with either a maximum-likelihood receiver or low-complexity zero-forcing receiver.

이동통신 환경에서 송신 다이버시티를 이용하는 STBC-OFDW(Space Time Block Code-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템의 성능은 두 심볼을 전송하는 시간 동안 채널 특성이 변하지 않을 경우, MRRC (Maximal Ratio Receiver Combining)의 다이버시티 이득을 얻는다. 그러나 채널 특성이 변하게 되면 수신단에서 수신 심볼간에 서로 간섭영향을 주기 때문에 MRRC의 다이버시티 이득이 발생하지 않는다. 따라서 이동통신환경에서 송신 다이버시티를 적용한 이동체가 고속으로 이동할 경우 이러한 간섭영향에 의한 성능 감소의 영향을 줄일 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이동통신 환경에서 개선된 송신 다이버시티를 이용하여 STBC-OFDM 시스템의 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 수신기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안하는 구조는 수신단에 ZF(Zero Forcing) 알고리즘을 이용한 간섭제거기를 사용하여 전송대역폭의 변화 없이 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과 도플러 주파수가 클수록 성능 개선 정도가 커지는 특징을 갖는다.

본 논문에서는 비정형 궤도를 따라 이동하며 통신하는 비행체들 간의 데이터 전송 신뢰성을 보장하기 위해 컨볼루션 코드를 연접한 연접 단일 안테나 다이버시티 시스템을 제안하고 이 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 제안한 시스템은 단일 안테나를 사용하면서도 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있고 컨볼루션 코드를 연접하였기 때문에 부호화 이득 또한 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 제안한 시스템의 비트 오율 성능(BER: bit error rate)을 시뮬레이션하여 컨볼루션 코드와 비교한 결과 BER $10^{-4}$에서 약 9.5dB 우수하였고, 최대 다이버시티 이득을 갖는 시공간 블록코드와 비교한 결과 BER $10^{-3}$에서 약 14dB 우수함을 확인 하였다. 마지막으로 부호화 이득과 다이버시티 이득을 동시에 갖는 시공간 트렐리스 코드와 그 성능을 비교하였을 때 $10^{-5}$의 BER에서 약 4dB 우수하였다. 따라서 비정형 궤도를 따라 이동하며 통신하는 비행형 에어노드간의 신뢰성 있는 통신을 위해서는 연접 단일 안테나 다이버시티 시스템의 적용이 필요하다.

The analysis of maximum diversity order and coding gain for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems over time-and frequency-selective (or doubly-selective) channels is addressed in this paper. A novel channel time-space correlation function is developed given the spatially correlated doubly-selective Rayleigh fading channel model. Based on this channel-model assumption, the upper-bound of pairwise error probability (PEP) for MIMO-OFDM systems is derived under the maximum likelihood (ML) detection. For a certain space-frequency code, we quantify the maximum diversity order and deduce the expression of coding gain. In this wort the impact of channel time selectivity is especially studied and a new definition of time diversity is illustrated correspondingly

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

본 논문에서는 개선된 초직교 시공간 블록 부호(Super-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code; SOSTBC)에 적용되는 비트 인터리브 된 부호화 변조(Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation; BICM)를 제안하였다. 이 시스템은 초직교 시공간 격자 부호(Super-Orthogonal Space-Time Trellis Code; SOSTTC)와 비슷한 복잡도로 더 높은 부호 다이버시티를 얻을 수 있다. 이는 개선된 SOSTBC를 사용함으로써 비트 다이버시티가 SOSTBC의 최대 다이버시티까지 이를 수 있기 때문이다. 반면 Jafarkhani 등이 제안한 SOSTBC를 사용하는 BICM은 비트 다이버시티가 항상 1이 되기 때문에 SOSTTC 보다 높은 부호 다이버시티를 얻기 어렵다.
