In time division duplex (TDD)-based multiuser massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, the uplink channel is estimated and the results are used in downlink for signal detection. Owing to noisy uplink channel estimation, the downlink channel should also be estimated for accurate signal detection. Therefore, recently, a blind method was developed, which assumes the use of a linear high-power amplifier (HPA) in the base station (BS). In this study, we extend this method to a scenario with a nonlinear HPA in the BS, where the Bussgang decomposition is used for HPA modeling. In the proposed method, the average power of the received signal for each user is a function of channel gain, large-scale fading, and nonlinear distortion variance. Therefore, the channel gain is estimated, which is required for signal detection. The performance of the proposed method is analyzed theoretically. The simulation results show superior performance of the proposed method compared to that of the other methods in the literature.

In this paper, we propose a Cyclic-Prefix Code Division Multiple Access system that uses Sequences with Good Autocorrelation property(GAS-CP-CDMA) and analyze the uplink signal-to-noise ratio performance of that system. Phase-shifted sequences are used for differentiating users. The signals of the GAS-CP-CDMA system experience no (or very little) interferences from co-cell signals because of the good autocorrelation property, but user signals of adjacent cells may yield interferences. The frequency reuse factor in the ordinary CDMA system is around 0.6 and the interference from adjacent cells is about 40 percent of the total interference in the conventional CDMA system. Our numerical analysis shows that the frequency reuse factor and user capacity versus signal-to-noise ratio of the GAS-CP-CDMA system are improved comparing to the conventional CDMA system. The uplink user capacity of the proposed system can be increased up to about twice of that of the conventional CDMA system.

Satellite communication system uses a high non-linear HPA(high power amplifiers) in the earth station and satellite transponder. Therefore, it is important to consider the nonlinear effect of HPA on the communication system. In this paper, we find the variation of power spectrum density by nonlinearity HPA and the change of harmonic component according to IBO (input back-off). When the BPSK is used for satellite communication system, we analyze BER performance including the external co-channel interference (CCI) and the adjacent channel interference (ACI) resulting from the HPA nonlinearity. BER degrades as ACI magnitude grows up when the uplink SNR, uplink SIR (signal to co-channel interference power ratio) and downlink SIR are constant at some level. In case there is only non-linear HPA in the satellite, it is shown that BER considerably depends on the ACI magnitude ACI. When there are two non-linear HPAs in the both earth station and satellite, much BER degradation results from the CCI and ACI.

KOMPSAT-2 (Korea Multi Purpose Satellite 2) which is scheduled to launch in 2005 year will communicate with KARI TTC (Tracking, Telemetry, and Command) station flying along sun synchronous orbits (685 km). The command from KARI TTC passes S-band omni-antenna, RF assembly, and transponder and finally reachs OBC (On Board Computer). The telemetry from KOMPSAT-2 arrives at KARI TTC through inverse procedure. In this paper, RF compatibility test between KOMPSAT-2 and KARI TTC station is demonstrated. RF interface for this test was established through real space and uplink signal test and downlink signal test and uplink & downlink signal test were performed.

In order to increase the robustness of the uplink for UAS(Unmanned Aerial System), we propose a jamming signal rejection algorithm. In the UAS datalink system, DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) is used to reduce the radio noise or jamming signal. In general, jamming signals below the spreading gain are recoverable but the signals beyond the spreading gain can not be recovered. In this paper, these jamming signals beyond spreading gain are detected using the threshold detector in the spectrum area then, generate the estimated signals from the sine wave generator. Finally, we obtain the desired signal to remove jamming signals from the received signals. The proposed scheme can eliminate jamming signals while minimizing the hardware complexity and the original signal loss.

In this paper, Designed and implemented about module that generate division signal for uplink section and downlink section for controlling Tx/Rx antenna of 2.3-2.7GHz WiMAX TDD repeater. It is consisted of RF block and Baseband block, and because function of this module is that synchronize with WiMAX signal and create division signal for uplink section and downlink section, this module was designed only received path. And because of manufacturing of most RF block by one chip, this module could minimize area. And in baseband block, used the WiMAX Modem to detect Preamble and DL-MAP information of WiMAX signal. This design can process about 2.3-2.7GHz WiMAX.

In this paper, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance for uplink communication of WiBro system when smart antenna technology is employed. It is shown that, by exploiting beamforming technology, smart antenna-based WiBro system shows improved performance by more than 4 dB in SNR compared to single input single output (SISO) system under one-path Rayhleigh fading channel condition.

Successive interference cancellation(SIC) for the uplink of MC-CDMA mobile communications systems is an effective method to improve performance. We propose a successive interference cancellation(SIC) technique for the uplink of MC-CDMA mobile systems with multiple receive antennas. The destination uses optimum combining(OC) to combine the signals from an OFDM Demodulator with multiple receiving antennas, and applies SIC processing to the combined signals. Achieved interference cancellation order is depends on the signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the output of the optimum combiner. Monte-Carlo simulations are employed to verify the proposed technique.

We consider a power controlled code division multiple access (CDMA) system with multiple flow types. At each of the N nodes, there are F flow types with different signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) requirements. To keep the complexity of the transmitter low, we assume that each node uses the same power level for all its flows. The single flow case has been fully solved and is well-understood. We concentrate on the multiple flow case, and use a novel and different approach. For the uplink problem with N = 2 and F arbitrary, the necessary and sufficient conditions to have a solution are found and proved. For the general N > 1 uplink problem, we provide a necessary condition for the problem to have a solution and an iterative algorithm to find the optimum solution. For the downlink case with F > 1 some properties of the optimal sequences are obtained.

We treat device-to-device direct communication (D2D) by reusing cellular uplink resources in LTE-Advanced systems. Conventional schemes assume that D2D transmitter employs SC-FDMA scheme for the date transmission. In the conventional schemes, however, it is very difficult to reduce the interference between the users, D2D communication cannot be used when the interference caused by cellular uplink signal is high. In this paper, we propose D2D transmission scheme which employes MC-CDMA technology and D2D detection scheme which uses MMSE algorithm to reduce interference from the cellular uplink signal. Therefore, in the proposed scheme the D2D communication becomes possible even in the high interference scenario. Through simulation, we show that the proposed scheme has better BER performance than the conventional scheme.
