Data transmission experiences multiplicative distortion in frequency nonselective fading channel. This distortion occurs in OFDM communication channel and can be compensated using an equalizer. Usually, in the case of LMS equalizer, eigenvalue distribution of training signal is enlarged. Large eigenvalue distribution causes principally the performance of a communication system to be deteriorated. This paper proposes a new algorithm that shows the same performance as the existing fast wavelet transform algorithm with less computational complexity. The proposed algorithm was applied to an adaptive equalizer of OFDM communication system. Matlab simulation results show a better performance than the existing one. The proposed algorithm was implemented in VHDL and simulated.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a special technique for communication systems which can support the high data rate transmission with sufficient robustness to fading channels. Tansmitter diversity with space-time block coding (STBC) is an attractive transmission scheme to improve the performance of systems. In this paper, we compare the performance of space-time block coded OFDM systems with that of conventional OFDM systems over fast fading channels. The block-interleaved (BI) STBC and frequency hopping (FH) OFDM are proposed in the study to provide the maximum achievable diversity gains. As the simulation results, the STBC OFDM, Bl-STBC OFDM and Bl-STBC FH-OFDM provide the much improved performance over the conventional OFDM. And the Bl-STBC FH-OFDM also provide the better performance than the STBC OFDM and Bl-STBC OFDM, especially, in the case of the two transmit antennas are employed while BI-STBC FH-OFDM can maintain the same data rate of 12 Mbps.

In this paper, selection criterions on selection diversity are researched. The diversity is applied to the multiple antenna system based on wireless access in vehicular environment (WAVE) standard for rapid varying channel. Least squares (LS) based decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are used for channel equalization. Received signal is regenerated by means of the decision feedback path. In the selection diversity, the regenerated signal as well as the received signal is selected according to selection criterion. The decision feedback algorithm can follow the fast speed of WAVE fading channel. To control the tracking speed of the time-varying channel, simple low pass filter is used. Finally, the estimated channel value recovers the distorted payloads. Signal power before automatic gain control (AGC) in analog stage can be used as a selection criterion. In the digital stage, signal power after AGC, noise power after AGC, signal to noise ratio after AGC and cross-correlation method can be used as selection criterions. According to the simulation results, the performance of the selection diversity is improved in comparison with that of the combining diversity for the WAVE fading channel.

In this paper, an iterative multiple symbol differential detection for turbo coded differential unitary space-time modulation using a posteriori probability (APP) demodulator is investigated. Two approaches of different complexity based on linear prediction are presented to utilize the temporal correlation of fading for the APP demodulator. The first approach intends to take account of all possible previous symbols for linear prediction, thus requiring an increase of the number of trellis states of the APP demodulator. In contrast, the second approach applies Viterbi algorithm to assist the APP demodulator in estimating the previous symbols, hence allowing much reduced decoding complexity. These two approaches are found to provide a trade-off between performance and complexity. It is shown through simulation that both approaches can offer significant BER performance improvement over the conventional differential detection under both correlated slow and fast Rayleigh flat-fading channels. In addition, when comparing the first approach to a modified bit-interleaved turbo coded differential space-time modulation counterpart of comparable decoding complexity, the proposed decoding structure can offer performance gain over 3 dB at BER of $10^{-5}$.

TETRA Enhanced Data Service (TEDS), which is an upgrade version of narrow-band ETSI TETRA Release 1 system, can support high speed packet data services in frequency selected fading channel. The performance of M-QAM transceivers employed in the TEDS is significantly affected by the accuracy of channel estimation. In this paper, we consider the design of a decision-directed channel estimation scheme robust to fast fading by estimating the channel by means of a per-survivor processing (PSP) method. The performance of the proposed channel estimation scheme is verified by computer simulation.

When wireless channels undergo fast fading, non-coherent frequency shift keying (FSK) (de)modulation schemes may be considered for amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communications. In this paper, we derive the bit-error-rate performance of partial non-coherent receiver as a lower bound of the optimal non-coherent receiver for FSK modulated AF cooperative communications. From the simulation and analytical results, it is found that the derived lower bound is very closed to simulation results. This result shows that knowing partial channel state information may not improve system performance significantly. On the other hand, conventional optimal non-coherent receiver involves complicated integration operation. To address the above complexity issue, we also propose a near optimal non-coherent receiver which does not involve integration operation. Simulation results have shown that the performance gap between the proposed near optimal receiver and the optimal receiver is small.

This paper presents two different approaches for channel estimation of IMT-2000 pilot symbol-assisted W-CDMA reverse link over Rayleigh fading channels of one and two paths. By obtaining BER performance through computer simulations, the proposed algorithms of 2-point second-order interpolation and IDD BWMA are compared with the performance of existing interpolation and adaptive algorithms. The BER performance of the proposed algorithms is superior to WMSA, linear and second-order Gaussian interpolation, LMS, and RLS algorithm in fast fading channels. In particular, the BER performance of the IDD BWMA algorithm is nearly insensitive for Doppler frequency within simulation range $E_b/N_0$ = 28 dB. The two proposed algorithms also have relatively simple structure and similar processing delay in comparison to the existing algorithms. Therefore, these algorithms are more suitable for high-speed mobile communication environments.

An adaptive MMSE detector can be used to cancel the MAI in CDMA system. But standard adaptive MMSE detector cannot be used in real mobile environment due to fast fading channel. Furthermore multipath reception make it more difficult to converge to optimum weight values. In this paper we discuss and model the multipath fading environment in Forward-link Synchronous CDMA channels and propose adaptive MMSE RAKE detector structure which can be applied in the mobile station. A proposed adaptive MMSE detector requires estimation of received signal delay and complex channel coefficients such as amplitude and phase variation. These burden can be solved by utilizing the common pilot channel. The pilot channel may have higher power than the traffic channel, which give more exact channel estimation. Moreover RAKE structure gives more accurate and stable result which can be used as reliable reference signal in multipath fading channel environment. With this structure, conventional adaptive algorithm such as LMS or NLMS can be applied in adaptive MMSE detector.

MAI(Multi-Access Interference) and fast channel variation due to the fading environment are the major problems in the mobile CDMA communication systems. Recently, interest has been increasing in applying the Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector to MAI cancellation in the CDMA reverse link. In this paper, we propose a modified Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector structure which can be used in Long-duration code CDMA system in the presence of independent Rayleigh fading. We use independent multiple tap-weight vector structure to cope with the variation of spreading sequence pattern between neighbor symbols because of the Long-duration code. In this case, more exact channel parameter estimation is required. To solve this problem, we use coherent CDMA structure which can track the channel parameters like amplitude and phase by employing the low power pilot channel in the CDMA reverse link.

A new fading channel estimation technique is proposed for an OFDM based modem In the ITS system. The algorithm is based on the transfer function extraction of the channel using the pilot signals and compensated the channel preceding the equalization. The newly derived algorithm is division-free arithmetic operations allows the faster circuit operation and the smaller circuit size. Proposed techniques compensate firstly the distortion which is generated at fading channels and secondly eliminate inter-symbol interference. All algorithms are suitability estimated and improved for a system implementation using digital circuits. As the results, the circuit size is reduced by 20% of the conventional design and achieved about 10% performance improvement at low SNR under 10dB in case of ITS system adapted 16-QAM mode.
