SC-FDMA is employed in the 3GPP-LTE standard as the uplink transmission scheme. SC-FDMA has advantages that the signal has a low PAPR property and a simple equalizer such as FD-LE can be implemented. But FD-LE has inferior performance to Hybrid-DFE composed of frequency-domain feedforward filter and time-domain feedback filter. Recently, several IB-DFE algorithms have been proposed to overcome the disadvantages of implementation and processing complexity of Hybrid-DFE and to obtain superior performance to FD-LE. In this paper, we apply several IB-DFE algorithms to 3GPP-LTE uplink system and compare their performance by calculating BER. We investigate the effects of channel estimation errors and Doppler shift on performance. Finally, by analyzing computational complexity of IB-DFEs, we present some criteria to choose appropriate algorithm and to decide the number of iterative processes.

In this paper, we propose a distributed user scheduling with transmit power control based on the amount of interference inflicted to other BSs in multi-cell uplink networks. Assuming that the channel reciprocity time-division duplexing(TDD) system is used, the channel state information (CSI) can be obtained at each user from pilot signals from other BSs. The amount of generating interference to other BSs will be calculated at each user. Especially, in this paper, we propose the threshold-based transmit power control, in which a user decrease its transmit power if its generating interference to other BSs is larger than a predetermined threshold. Simulation results show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms the existing user scheduling algorithms.

In this paper, we investigate the user scheduling, transmit beamforming, and receive beamforming of uplink space division multiple access (SDMA) systems where multiple users are allowed to transmit their signal to a base station (BS) using the same frequency band simultaneously. The BS performs a receive beamforming using the predetermined pseudo-random pattern and select users with a specific criterion. Especially, in this paper, we propose the threshold-based transmit power control, in which a user decrease its transmit power according if its generating interference to other users's signal is larger than a predetermined threshold. Assuming that the TDD system is used, the channel state information (CSI) can be obtained at each user from pilot signals from the BS. Simulation results show that the proposed technique significantly outperforms the existing user scheduling algorithms.

Recently, heterogeneous mobile communication network is attracting plenty of interest to serve explosively increasing mobile data traffic. Although the heterogeneous mobile communication network can enhance spatial reuse ratio by using both conventional macro cells and small cells simultaneously, it causes the unbalance in performance of downlink and uplink. In this paper, we propose a new cell selection scheme for heterogeneous mobile communication network. In the proposed cell selection scheme, mobiles select their home cells by considering both uplink and downlink performance, contrary to conventional schemes. We analyze the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of average cell transmission rate through system level simulations and compare it with those of conventional schemes.

Relay-assisted multiple input technique has become a promising candidate for next generation broadband wireless communications. In this paper, we propose channel selective relay-based multiple input transmission system. In the proposed system, single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) are adopted for uplink and downlink transmissions, respectively. The performance of relay-based system can be improved by using the subcarriers selectively based on the channel condition between relay station (RS) and mobile station, or between RS and base station. Simulation results show that the proposed relay-based system considerably outperforms the conventional relay-based system.

A study on architecture of new parallel interference canceller which can be applied for reverse link of next generation mobile communication system supporting multi-rate is performed on this paper. The proposed method adopts new algorithm which can be applied for multi-rate system to reduce multiple access interference (MAI) which cause performance degradation of CDMA system and limit of channel capacity. The proposed system is evaluated by simulation results under various conditions. As a result, performance enhancement is achieved compared to existing conventional interference cancellers. Although the amount of calculation is increased, we can find that the performance is improved generally.

100 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbit/s data speed are needed in LTE-advanced for the next generation mobile communication system. Therefore, spectrum aggregation method has been studied recently to extend usable frequency bands. Also bandwidth utilization is increased since vacant frequencies are used to communicate. However, transceiver structure requires the digital RF and SDR. Therefore, frequency synthesizer and PA must operate over wide-bandwidth and RF impairments also increases in transceiver. Uplink of LTE advanced uses DFT-S OFDM using plural power amplifier. The effect of ICI increases in frequency domain of receiver due to phase noise and IQ imbalance. In this paper, we analyze influences of ICI in frequency domain of receiver considering phase noise and IQ imbalance in multiband system. Also, we separate phase noise and IQ imbalance effect from channel response in frequency domain of uplink system. And we propose a method to estimate the channel exactly and to compensate IQ imbalance and phase noise. Simulation result shows that the proposed method achieves the 2 dB performance gain of BER=$10^{-4}$.

In DCA (Dynamic Channel Allocation) scheme of uplink cellular system appling a frequency reuse factor of one, when a new call requests a channel, the new call will be blocked if its SINR (Carrier to Noise and Interference Ratio) is less than the required SINR or there is no available channel. The additional channel allocation for the blocked new call can be performed with channel borrowing in the adjacent cells. The channel borrowing causes the CCI (Co-Channel Interference), thus the SINR of the existing calls is deteriorated and the channel reallocation for the existing calls is required. As a result, the channel borrowing leads to a complex calculation so that it is a NP-hard problem. Therefore, to overcome the problem, we propose a novel Group Search-based DCA scheme which decreases the number of the blocked new calls and then reduces the number of the channel reallocation by the channel borrowing for the blocked new calls. The proposed scheme searches the all channels in a group of the adjacent cells and home cell at the same time in order to minimizes the number of the blocked new calls. The simulation results show that proposed Group Search-based DCA scheme provides better new call blocking probability and system throughput than the existing Single Search-based DCA scheme which searches only the channels in home cell.

In this paper, we cary out system level simulations to investigate the effect of cell shape(i.e., different base station displacements in the two directions defined by the street grid) on minimizing transmitter power, interference power, and blocking probability for CDMA system in urban microcellular environments. In urban microcell, path loss to the base station depends on the orientation of the street where the mobile is located. Interference from mobile stations to the base station in the reference cell is considered up to second tier. The wrap around method is used to include the second tier interference with realistic computational complexity without reducing the accuracy of interference calculations. The investigation shows that the transmitter power, interference power, and blocking probability in a cell can be reduced by proper selection of the efficient cell shape.
