TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) has soft decision scheme so that BM(Branch Metric) calculates the ED(Euclidean Distance) between the received signal and each code words in signal space. For computing the ED, square and square root computations increase the hardware complexity. Some simplified method is known for convolutional codes with QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), PSK(Phase Shift Keying) modulation. But it is not acceptable for QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)-TCM scheme. In this paper, we suggest that two modified BM computation methods, which is applicable for QAM-TCM. By comparative study, we also assessed two proposed method in the case of hardware complexity and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance.

In this paper, a concatenated RS and Turbo code is proposed for OFDM system over burst error channel. The concatenated code used in this study is a RS(255,202) code and a rate 1/2 turbo code. The turbo code uses 2 recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) code as the constituent codes and the parity bit are punctured to get the desired code rate. It is shown by simulation that the conventional OFDM system fails when there exists burst noise. The concatenated RS and turbo code obtains at least 5dB gain over the turbo code at the bit error probability of 10/sup -3/.

The Fano metric is the maximum likelihood decoding choice for convlutional code for binary symmetric channel. The Fano metric assumes that it has previous knowledge of channel error probability. However, the bit errors in real channel occur in bursts and the channel error probability can not be known exactly. Thus, the Fano metric is not the maximum likelihood choice for bursty-noise channel. In this paper universal metri which dose not require the previous knowlege of the channel transition probability is used for sequential decoding. It is shown that the complexity of the universal is much less than that of the Fano metric bursty-noise channel, since it is estimated on a branch by branch basis.

다중 사용자 DS-CDMA 시스템에서 더 나은 성능을 얻고자 컨볼루션 코드와 차등 코드의 직렬 연쇄 구조를 제안한다. 시스템은 접속 간섭 (MAI: Multiple-access Interference)를 억제하기 위해 다른 사용자의 확산 코드, 동기, 그리고 전력 정보 등을 필요로 하지 않는 단일 사용자 검파기(SUD: Single User Detection)로 이루어진다. 채널 부호로 사용된 부호화율 1과 메모리 수 1을 가지는 차등 부호는 부호화로 인한 효율 저하를 가져오지 않으며 최소 상태수를 가지게 된다. 이러한 차등 부호와 컨볼루션 부호를 복호함에 있어서 서로간의 정보를 교환하는 반복 복호 처리를 이용한다. AWGN 채널에서의 분석 결과로부터 본 연쇄 부호 기법이 DS-CDMA 시스템에서 기존의 컨볼루션 코드보다 유사한 복잡도에서 더 나은 성능과 유연성을 제공함을 알 수 있다. 또한 제안한 기법이 SUD를 하는 DS-CDMA 시스템에 적용될 때, 처리 이득(Processing Gain)이나 간섭 억제 여파기의 탭 개수를 증가시킴으로써 성능 향상이 일어나며, 원근 간섭 전력 문제가 심한 경우에 성능 저하가 일어남을 알 수 있다.

This paper introduces the coded cooperation protocol in wireless relay network. We propose a two relay based coded cooperation protocol with RCPC codes for wireless networks. The proposed two-relay based system can achieve a diversity of order 4 under slow fading environment. Under fast fading, the diversity order is 2 times of the free distance of the convolutional code. We develop upper bounds on BER and FER for the system under both slow and fast fading with Rayleigh distribution. The effect of various channel conditions on the cooperation is also examined in this work.

In speech coding scheme, because information bits have different error sensitivities over channel errors, the channel coder for combining with speech coding should be realized by the variable coding rate considering the bit importance of speech information bits. In realizing the 4 kbps channel coder for 12kbps speech, this paper have chosen the channel coding method by analyzing the hard-decision post-decoding error rate of RCPC(Rate Compatible Punctured Convolutional) codes and bit error sensitivity of 12 kbps speech. Under the coherent QPSK and Rayleigh fading channel, the performance analysis has showed that 10dB gain was obtained in speech SEGSNR by 4-level uneuqal error protection, which was compared with the caseof no channel coding at 7dB channel SNR.

In this paper, proposed diversity algorithm that decrease fading. In the wireless channel, if fading occurs due to the multipaths the performance of the system is apparently reduced. This study applied tap-delay receiver. It applied QPSK and OQPSK modulation methods and applied the convolutional codes, where the code rate is 1/2 and 1/3 and the constraint length is 11 and the turbo code where the constraint length is 6. The diversity algorithm proposed in this paper could be compared and analyzed the average error probability of modulation method variable of fading factor to uplink and downlink channels.

In this paper we propose a decoding algorithm of Ungerboeck TCM/PSK in the concept of Radix-trellis, which has been applied to the decoding of convolutional codes for the high speed decoding. As an example we choose 16-state trellis coded 8-ary PSK. For Radix-4 and Radix-16 trellis decoding, we explain the path metric(PM) and the branch metric(BM) calculation. By using the simulation, we evaluate the bit error rate(BER) performance according to the number of binary digits for I-Q value, PM and BM registers. The proper number of binary digits of each register has been derived.

This study proposes a new diversity algorithm to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In the wireless channel, if fading occurs due to the multipaths, the performance of the system is apparently reduced. One of the methods to reduce fadings like this is the diversity method, and this study aims to improve the performance of the system by proposing a new diversity algorithm. This study applied rake receiver, and normalized the wireless channel from the Nakagami fading channel to the Rayleigh fading channel, which set the fading index as 1, because of the multipaths. It applied QPSK and OQPSK modulation methods and applied the convolutional codes, where the code rate is 1/2 and 1/3 and the constraint length is 9, and the turbo code where the constraint length is 4. Under these conditions, this study compared and analyzed the average error probability of direct spread multiple access system. The diversity algorithm proposed in this paper could be applied to the mobile communication and other wireless multimedia communications that require high quality and high reliability.

In satellite digital broadcasting and satellite internet, severe burst errors occur in the high-speed return channel from the satellite to mobiles. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the forward error correction (FEC) coding method in the Rayleigh fading return channel. We first investigate the channel model of Loo, LutB, Vucetic and Corazza. We then compare the performance of the convolutional, Reed-Solomon (RS), convolution-RS concatenation, and Turbo codes in rayleigh fading channel.
