In this paper, we present an improved channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems using pilot-symbol-aided parameter estimation. Conventional linear minimum mean square error(LMMSE) channel estimation method uses only pilot symbols for channel estimation. So, as the fading channel varies rapidly, a performance is decreased. We proposed a channel estimation method, which estimates channel attenuation in the middle of pilots using pilot symbols and then estimates the whole channel attenuation with pilots and estimated channel attenuation. Compared with conventional LMMSE channel estimation method, the proposed method is significantly robust in a rapid fading channel with high Doppler frequency and delay spread.

We present the performance of differential space-time block decoders. which does not require the channel state information. We suggest the structure of the multiple blocks differential space time decoders. which does not require the channel state information, and analyze the Performances. In quasi-static flat fading channels. the Performance of multiple blocks differential detection (MD-STC) outperforms that of 2 blocks(D-STC) by 1.5dB. But in the time-selective fading channels due to Doppler frequency $(f_d)$, the performance of MD-STC degrades as the vehicular speed is greater than 200km/hr in 802.16e systems, where the data transmission rate is 144kbps.

In this paper, we analyze channel estimation algorithms in a RAKE receiver with MRC. There are 3 popular channel estimation algorithms, which are WMSA(Weighted Multi-Slot Averaging) algorithm, EGE(Equal Gain Estimation) algorithm, SSE(Symbol-to-Symbol Estimation) algorithm. We analyze asynchronous IMT-2000(3GPP) which employ 3 different channel estimation algorithms by HP-ADS(Advanced Design System) simulation tool. We used lakes fading channel model for the analysis. from simulation results, we could observe that the performance of WMSA algorithm is better than others in low Doppler effect(3Km/h). However, in the case of high Doppler effect(120km1h), the EGE algorithm is more efficient. In this case the simple estimator with EGE algorithm seems to be more useful.

Several repeater systems are used to enhance the cell coverage to location such as shadow and rural areas in mobile systems. But the general RF repeater solutions are not suitable for high power outdoor environment because it has the weakness such as self oscillation problem With adoption of a adaptive digital filter technology, feedback interference cancellation repeater prevents oscillation by detecting and canceling the unwanted feedback signal between transmission and receiver antenna. In this paper, dual NLMS based interference cancellation method is proposed and the step size adaptation can be implemented by the estimation of the feedback channel Doppler frequency characteristics. The performance of the proposed algorithm is quantified via analysis and simulation for the static and multipath fading feedback channels.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method to detect the signal and evaluate performance of the system in frequency selective fading channel. We combine proposed system with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) to improve performance of the system. First, we study the SOSTTC-OFDM system using two transmit antenna and one receive antenna, and compare performance of the proposed space-time coded OFDM with that of previous system. We expand this system to the system using four transmit antennas with the proposed decoding method. Simulation results show that the proposed decoding method can detect the signal efficiently, and we identify that the performance of the proposed system is shown with varying doppler frequency in frequency selective fading channel.

This paper presents acquisition algorithm and an improved detection technique for the DS/CDMA (direction sequence code division multiple access) RAKE receiver in multipath fading channel. The DS/CDMA systems use the RAKE receiver, an accurate code acquisition is required for the RAKE branches.

This paper presents the error performance of 16 star-QAM with diversity reception in microcell systems in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) and cochannel interference. The differential detection of 16 star-QAM is split into phase detection and amplitude detection. This technique can reduce the degradation of error performance which is due to fading and the complexity of receiver. Diversity reception is proposed to improve the degradation of error performance due to fading. Equal gain and maximal ratio combinings were adopted for the phase detection and the amplitude detection, respectively. The performance of 16 star-QAM was evaluated for various of Rician factor K, maximum Doppler frequency f_DT, signal to cochannel interference ratio and diversity branch L.

In this paper, we present an improved channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multipexing systems using pilot symbol assisted modulation(PSAM). Conventional linear minimum mean square error(LMMSE) channel estimation method uses only pilot symbols for channel estimation. So, as the fading channel varies rapidly, the system performance is degraded. The basic idea of the proposed scheme is that we firstly estimate channel coefficients at the middle point between two pilot symbols and then compute the channel attenuation by using LMMSE method. Superior performance achieved with the proposed method is illustrated by simulation experiments with the Doppler frequency of 36Hz and 185Hz in comparison with conventional LMMSE channel estimator.

Multi-band method which allocate the same data to different frequency bands, improves performance by compensating Doppler spreading and selective fading in underwater communications. The drawback of multi-band configuration may have worse performance because performance degradation in a particular band affects the output from the entire bands. It is very important to find which band is superior or inferior band in order to improve performance. Therefore this paper analyzes performance prediction algorithms of each band. This paper proposes three kinds of prediction methods. Through the ocean tests, this paper confirms utilizing the preamble error rates is most efficient algorithm among of them.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of channel estimation algorithm using RLS algorithm lot W-CDMA reverse link over Rayleigh fading channels. By obtaining BER(Bit Error Rate) performance through computer simulations, the RLS(Recursive Least Square) algorithm is compared with the existing WMSA(Weighted Averaging)(K=1,3) and constant gain algorithm. The channel structure, modulation and pilot patterns are applied to the ARIB (Association of Radio Industries and Business) and 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) ITU-R proposal for the IMT-2000. The BER performance of RLS algorithm with linear interpolation is similar to that of WMSA(K=1) and slightly superior to that of constant gain algorithm at low Doppler frequencies. Also, RLS algorithm performance is better than that of the WMSA(K=1,3) and constant gain algorithms about 4dB at BER=2.0$\times$$10^{-2}$ and Doppler frequencies $F_D$=320Hz. With increasing Doppler frequency, therefore, the BER performance of RLS algorithm with linear interpolation is superior to WMSA(K=L.3) and constant rain algorithms.
