V-BLAST의 신호 복원을 위한 기법으로는 MMSE, ZF, ML 등이 있으며, 이중 ML 기법이 최적의 성능을 나타낸다. 그러나 ML 기법은 송신안테나 수와 변조차수에 따라 연산복잡도가 지수적으로 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 V-BLAST의 신호 복원을 위해 보다 낮은 복잡도를 갖는 저 복잡도 선형 ML검출 기법을 제안하고 이 시스템을 기존의 검출 기 법들과 BER과 연산량 측면에서 비교, 분석하였다. 분석결과 제안한 검출기법의 BER 성능은 ZF과 MMSE 검출기법보다 우수하였고 ML 검출기법과는 유사하였다. 그러나 연산량 측면에서는 제안한 시스템의 연산량이 ML 검출기법의 연산량보다 약 50%정도 적었다. 이 결과들을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 저 복잡도 선형 ML 검출기법이 기존의 검출기법 보다 우수함을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we study the role of cooperative relays to provide and improve secure communication rates through decodeand-forward (DF) strategies in a full-duplex multiple relay network with an eavesdropper. We consider the DF scheme as a basis for cooperation and propose several strategies that implement different versions of this scheme suited for cooperation with multiple relays. Our goal is to give an efficient cooperation paradigm based on the DF scheme to provide and improve secrecy in a multiple relay network. We first study the DF strategy for secrecy in a single relay network. We propose a suboptimal DF with zero forcing (DF/ZF) strategy for which we obtain the optimal power control policy. Next, we consider the multiple relay problem. We propose three different strategies based on DF/ZF and obtain their achievable secrecy rates. The first strategy is a single hop strategy whereas the other two strategies are multiple hop strategies. In the first strategy, we show that it is possible to eliminate all the relays' signals from the eavesdropper's observation (full ZF), however, the achievable secrecy rate is limited by the worst source-relay channel. Our second strategy overcomes the drawback of the first strategy, however, with the disadvantage of enabling partial ZF only. Our third strategy provides a reasonable compromise between the first two strategies. That is, in this strategy, full ZF is possible and the rate achieved does not suffer from the drawback of the first strategy. We conclude our study by a set of numerical results to illustrate the performance of each of the proposed strategies in terms of the achievable rates in different practical scenarios.

본 논문에서는 Sphere decoder의 최대 복잡도 문제를 극복하기 위한 기법을 소개한다. 최소 근접 격자점을 탐색하는 과정 중 접근하는 노드의 회수에 제한을 두고, 만약 노드 접근 회수가 제한치를 넘으면, 가장 최근에 접근한 노드와 초기 단계의 ZF 검출 값을 이용해서 제 1 후보 심볼을 얻는다. 그리고 ZF 검출 값을 이용해서 제 2 후보 심볼 벡터를 얻은후, 이 두 후보 심볼 벡터 중 수신 신호와 유클리드 거리가 작은 후보 심볼 벡터를 최종적으로 검출한 심볼 벡터로 얻는다. 또한 제한치 설정에 따른 SER 성능의 upper bound를 이론적으로 분석하였다. 전산 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 높은 SNR 영역에서는 SER 성능에서 최대 0.5dB의 열화가 있었으나, 평균 복잡도와 최대 복잡도가 기존의 제안된 sphere decoder에 비해 상당히 줄어든 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 다중 안테나를 사용하는 인지무선 시스템과 허가된 사용자(주사용자)가 공존하는 환경을 고려한다. 여기에서 부사용자 송신기는 직교 시공간 부호(OSTBC)를 사용하고 수신기는 Maximum Likelihood(ML) 검출 방식을 사용한다. Flat 페이딩 채널에서 ML 검출기를 사용할 경우, 최적의 precoder는 고유 빔포밍 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 벡터의 유사성에 기반한 가중치를 적용하여 간섭을 최소화하는 선형 precoding 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 ZF(Zero-forcing) 빔포밍보다 최소 2~8dB 우수한 간섭억압 능력을 보여 우수한 SER 성능과 최대 8bps/Hz의 Capacity 증가를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, various of pilot-assisted channel estimation techniques for 3GPP LTE downlink are tested under multipath Rayleigh fading channel. At first, the conventional channel estimation techniques are applied with linear zero-forcing (ZF) equalizer, such as one dimensional least square (1-D LS) linear interpolation, two dimensional (2-D) wiener filter, the time and frequency dimension separate wiener filter and maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Considering the practical implementation, we proposed two channel estimation techniques by combining time-dimension wiener filter and MLE in two manners, which showed a good tradeoff between system performance and complexity when comparing with conventional techniques. The nonlinear decision feedback equalizer (DFE) which can show a better performance than linear ZF equalizer is also implemented for mitigating inter-carrier interference (ICI) in our system. The complexity of these algorithms are calculated in terms of the number of complex multiplications (CMs) and the performances are evaluated by showing the bit error rate (BER).

In this paper, we propose two schemes to reduce the complexity of fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm in the ordering and tree-search stages, respectively, while achieving quasi-ML performance. In the ordering stage, we propose a QR-decomposition-based FSD signal ordering based on the zero-forcing criterion (FSD-ZF-SQRD) that requires only a few number of additional complex flops compared to the unsorted QRD. Also, the proposed ordering algorithm is extended using the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion to achieve better performance. In the tree-search stage, we introduce a threshold-based complexity reduction approach for the FSD depending on the reliability of the signal with the largest noise amplification. Numerical results show that in 8 ${\times}$ 8 MIMO system, the proposed FSD-ZF-SQRD and FSD-MMSE-SQRD only require 19.5% and 26.3% of the computational efforts required by Hassibi's scheme, respectively. Moreover, a third threshold vector is outlined which can be used for high order modulation schemes. In 4 ${\times}$ 4 MIMO system using 16-QAM and 64-QAM, simulation results show that when the proposed threshold-based approach is employed, FSD requires only 62.86% and 53.67% of its full complexity, respectively.

Doppler Effect is a prominent obstacle in vehicular networks, which dramatically increase the Bit-Error-Rate (BER). This problem is accompanied with the presence of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in which the Doppler shift interrupts the subcarriers orthogonality. Additionally, Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) are likely to occur which corrupt the received signal. In this paper, the single-carrier combined with the frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) is utilized as an alternative to the OFDM over the IEEE 802.11p uplink vehicular channels. The Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) and Zero-Forcing (ZF) are employed in order to study the impact of these equalization techniques along with the SC-FDE on the propagation medium. In addition, we aim to enhance the BER, improve the transmitted signal quality and achieve ISI and PAPR mitigation. The proposed schemes are investigated and we found that the MMSE outperforms the ZF equalization under different Doppler shift effects and modulations.

In this paper, we presents a Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) test-bed system for Time Division Duplex (TDD) Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A). Using two parameters, the condition number of the channel matrix and the path gain, the MU-MIMO system could switch pre-coder to maintain target Bit Error Rate (BER) level. This paper also introduces a calibration procedure for compensating error of Radio Frequency (RF) paths of the antennas and RF transceivers. From experimental measurements, dynamic pre-coding scheme could maintain target BER, set to 10^-3, with the pre-coder set configured with Zero Forcing (ZF), Tomlinson Harashima Pre-coding (THP), Lattice Reduction (LR). The simplest pre-coder ZF is adopted in stable channel, and when path gain become less than 0.25, LR is adopted. Lastly, when condition number of channel matrix become larger than 7, THP is adopted.
