In this paper, as a basic study for combination of turbo equalizer and 4D-8PSK-TCM(4 Dimensional 8 Phase Shift Keying Trellis Coded Modulation) system, which is recommended for X-band band satellite communication in CCSDS, a system combining 8PSK-TCM system and turbo equalizer has designed and performance evaluation of the system has performed. BER performance of 8PSK and 8PSK-TCM systems has evaluated and analyzed in AWGN, Proakis B and Proakis C channels in detail. As results of simulation, BER performance of 8PSK-TCM system is better than 8PSK system in AWGN environment. Furthermore, it can be confirmed that the system combining the 8PSK-TCM system with the turbo equalizer can further improve the BER performance through iterative equalization in the ISI channel environment. The 8PSK-TCM system combined with the turbo equalizer requires SNR of 5.9 dB for BER performance of $10^{-3}$ with 5 iterative equalization in Proakis B and SNR of 9.1 dB for BER of $10^{-2}$ with 5 iterative equalization in Proakis C.

Researches for oceans are limited to military purpose such as underwater sound detection and tracking system. Underwater acoustic communications with low-probability-of-interception (LPI) covert characteristics were received much attention recently. Covert communications are conducted at a low received signal-to-noise ratio to prevent interception or detection by an eavesdropper. This paper proposed optimal covert communication model based on direct sequence spread spectrum for underwater environments. Spread spectrum signals may be used for data transmission on underwater acoustic channels to achieve reliable transmission by suppressing the detrimental effect of interference and self-interference due to jamming and multipath propagation. The characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel present special problems in the design of covert communication systems. To improve performance and probability of interception, we applied BCJR(Bahl, Cocke, Jelinek, Raviv) decoding method and the direct sequence spread spectrum technology in low SNR. Also, we compared the performance between conventional model and proposed model based on turbo equalization by simulation and lake experiment.

To increase throughput efficiency and improve performance, FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) method and LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) codes are employed in DVB-S3 system. In this paper, we proposed efficient turbo equalization model to minimize inter symbol interference induced by FTN transmission. This paper introduces two conventional scheme employing SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) and BCJR equalizer. Then, we proposed new scheme to resolve problems in this two conventional scheme. To make performance improved in turbo equalization model, the outputs of LDPC and BCJR equalizer are iteratively exchange probabilistic information. In fed LDPC outputs as extrinsic informa tion of BCJR equalizer. we split LDPC output to separate bit probabilities. We compare performance of proposed scheme to that of conventional methods through using simulation in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. We confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional methods as increasing throughput parameters of FTN.

Turbo equalizers which use MAP (maximum a posteriori probability) equalizer or MMSE (minimum mean square error) equalizer have shown high performance and adoptability [1], [2]. In this paper, we show that the BP (belief propagation) algorithm can also be applied in equalizer and when it is connected with channel code, it can replace the MAP equalizer with similar complexity and performance.

The performance of underwater acoustic communication system is sensitive to the ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference) due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. The equalizer is used to combat the ISI. In this paper, the performances of underwater acoustic communication with turbo equalizer were evaluated by real data collected in Korean littoral sea. As a result, when one iterative decoding using turbo equalizer is applied, the performance was improved 1.5 dB than the case of the non-iterative equalizer at BER $10^{-4}$. In the case of two or three iterations the performance was enhanced about 3.5 dB, but the performance wasn't improved any more in the case of more than three times.

In this paper, we consider iterative soft-decision feedback equalizers (sDFE), a.k.a. turbo equalizers for single-carrier transmission. Turbo equalizer takes log-likelihood ratio (LLR) feedback from channel decoder and convert the LLR into symbol estimates and variances to be used for the LLR update at the sDFE. Specifically, we consider both time domain and frequency-domain sDFE and compare their performances. The results shows that frequency-domain sDFE performs better than time-domain one and also that considerable gain can be obtained especially when the channel has deep nulls.

The adaptive transmission techniques are efficient method for underwater acoustic communication to improve the system efficiency by varying transmission parameters according to channel conditions. In this paper, we construct four transmission modes with different data rates using the convolutional codes, which is freely set to size of information bits. On the receiver side, one critical component of adaptive system is to find which mode has best performance. In this paper, we proposed threshold detection algorithm to decide appropriate mode and applied turbo equalization method based on BCJR decoder in order to improve performance. We analyzed the performance of four modes based on threshold detection algorithm through the lake experiment.

In this paper, we analyzed efficient decoding scheme with FTN(Faster than Nyquist) method that is transmission method faster than Nyquist theory and increase the throughput. Applying the FTN method to satellite and underwater communication, we proposed an efficient transceiver model. To minimize ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference) induced by FTN signal, turbo equalization algorithms that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between Viterbi equalizer based on BCJR algorithm and LDPC decoder are used in satellite communication. In others, for underwater communication, DFE equalizer and LDPC decoder are concatenated to improve performance.

In this paper, to increase the throughput for wireless communication, FTN methods that is faster than Nyquist rate are used recently. To improve performance, turbo equalization algorithms that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between soft Viterbi equalizer and LDPC decoder to minimize ISI are applied in this paper. In FTN transmission, the performance depends on roll-off value and number of tabs of SRRC(Square Root Raised Cosine) filter. Therefore, Based on simulation, this paper present optimal number of filter coefficient and tab for various ISI factor of ${\tau}$.

In this paper, adaptive equalizer receiver for a turbo code direct sequence code division multiple access (DSCDMA) by using least mean square (LMS) adaptive algorithm is presented. The proposed adaptive equalizer is using soft output of decision feedback adaptive equalizer (DFE) to examines the output of the equalizer and the Log- maximum a posteriori (Log-MAP) algorithm for the turbo decoding process of the system. The objective of the proposed equalizer is to minimize the bit error rate (BER) of the data due to the disturbances of noise and intersymbol interference (ISI)phenomenon on the channel of the DS-CDMA digital communication system. The computer program simulation results shown that the proposed soft output decision feedback adaptive equalizer provides a good BER than the others one such as conventional adaptive equalizer, infinite impulse response adaptive equalizer.
