Cooperative transmission is an effective solution to improve the performance of wireless communications over fading channels without the need for physical co-located antenna arrays. In this paper, selection combining is used at the destination instead of maximal ratio combing to optimize the structure of destination and to reduce power consumption in selective decode-and-forward relaying networks. For an arbitrary number of relays, an exact and closed-form expression of the bit error rate (BER) is derived for M-PAM, M-QAM, and M-PSK, respectively, in both independent identically distributed and independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. A variety of simulations are performed and show that they match exactly with analytic ones. In addition, our results show that the optimum number of relays depend not only on channel conditions (operating SNRs) but also on modulation schemes which to be used.

This paper derives the symbol error probability for quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) with L-fold space diversity in Rayleigh fading channels. Two combining techniques, maximal ratio combining(MRC) and selection combining(SC), are considered. The formula for MRC space diversity is obtained by averaging the symbol error probability of M-ary QAM in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel over a chi-square distribution with 2L degrees of freedom. The obtained formula overcomes the limitations of the earlier work, which has been limited only to deriving the symbol error rate(SER) of QAM with two branch MRC space diversity. The formula for SC space diversity is obtained by averaging the symbol error probability of M-ary QAM in an AWGN channel over the distribution of the maximum signal-to noise ratio among all of the diversity channels for SC space diversity has been reported yet. Analytical results show that the probability of error decreases with the order of diversity gain per additional branch decreases as the number of branches becomes larger. On the other hand, the performance of 16 QAM with MRC becomes much better than that of SC as the number of branches becomes larger. By giving the order of diversity, L, and the number of signal points, M, we have been able to obtain the SER performance of QAM with general space diversity. These results can be used to determine the order of diversity to achieve the desired SER in land mobile communication system employing QAM modulation.

주파수 재사용을 사용하는 셀룰러 시스템에서 단말은 셀 경계로 이동할수록 인접 셀로부터 오는 간섭 신호의 세기가 커지게 되어 낮은 신호 대 간섭 비를 갖게 되고 채널 추정 및 수신 성능이 열화되는 경향을 보인다. 각 셀에 할당된 프리앰블 파일럿이 상호 직교적인 관계이거나 disjoint한 위치에 있는 경우, 각 셀로부터의 채널을 추정하여 이를 간섭 제거에 활용할 수 있다. 도플러 확산에 의한 채널의 시간 변화율이 큰 경우에는 데이터 파일럿의 사용이 필요하나, 다수의 셀로부터 전송되는 데이터 파일럿이 모든 셀에서 동일한 위치에 배치되어 있는 경우, 간섭에 의한 영향으로 채널 추정 성능의 열화를 겪는다. 본 논문에서는 인접 셀 간섭의 영향을 고려한 의사 잡음(pseudonoise: PN) 수열이 적용된 데이터 심볼에서, 간섭 신호로 인한 성능 열화를 줄일 수 있는 채널 추정 방법을 설명하고, 셀 경계 지역에서 수신 신호 검출 성능을 평가한다. 특히 최대비 결합과 셀 간 공간 역다중화 검출 방식에 활용 시, 도플러 주파수와 간섭 신호의 세기에 따른 전송 효율을 산출하여 성능 이득을 정량적으로 제시한다.

This paper proposes an alternate time-switched space-frequency block coding transmission technique for orthogonal frequency division modulation systems. There are two antennas in the transmitter but it still has only a baseband and RF and a switch that alternates between the antennas at every symbol timing. Alternating transmit symbols result in zeros that make maximal ratio receive combining possible in the receiver. Simulation results show that it provides better performance than the traditional algorithm at the expense of one additional antenna.

본 논문은 변조방식을 사용한 DS-CDMA 방식에서의 다이버시티 기법을 이용한 CDMA방식의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 채널은 다중경로 분해하고, 수신기는 레이크 수신기를 사용하였으며, 최대비 합성한다고 가정하였다. 통신 채널 환경 하에서 소자수를 변화시켜 가면서, 평균 에러 확률을 비교 분석하고자 한다. 그 결과 소자수를 증가시킴으로써 비트 에러 확률이 향상되었다.

Alamouti proposes a two branch transmit diver-sity scheme that provides the same diversity order as maximal ratio combining at the receiver. It has many advantages of no bandwidth expansion, not requiring channel information at the transmitter and simple maximum likelihood decoding at the receiver. Papadias and Foschini extend this sch-eme to four transmit antennas and suggest several schemes to decrease the interference component and allow the attainment of the open-loop capacity. This paper shows the performance of ZF and MM-SE schemes comparing with ideal case on 4xl sy-stem over BER and 10% outage capacity.

In this paper we derive a new VAD algorithm, which combines the preprocessing algorithm and the optimum decision rule. To improve the performance of the VAD algorithm we employ the speech enhancement algorithm and then apply the maximal ratio combining technique in the preprocessing procedure, which leads to maximized output SNR. Moreover, we also perform extensive computer simulations to demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed algorithm under various background noise environments.

We propose an unbiased signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimator for the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) system. The proposed SIR estimator solves the problem of underestimation present in conventional SIR estimators and is suitable for channel quality measurement in the adaptive modulation and coding scheme of HSDPA, which requires accurate SIR estimation for optimum adaptive modulation and coding selection. Our analysis and simulation results demonstrate the improved estimation performance of the proposed SIR estimator.

The paper considers a spectrum sharing cognitive radio (CR) network coexisting with a primary network under the average interference power constraint. In particular, the secondary user (SU) is assumed to carry delay-sensitive services and thus shall satisfy a given delay quality-of-service (QoS) constraint. The secondary receiver is also assumed to be equipped with multiple antennas to perform maximal ratio combining (MRC) to enhance SU performance. We investigate the effective capacity of the SU with MRC diversity under aforementioned constraints in Nakagami fading environments. Particularly, we derive the optimal power allocation to achieve the maximum effective capacity of the SU, and further derive the effective capacity in closed-form. In addition, we further obtain the closed-form expressions for the effective capacities under three widely used power and rate adaptive transmission schemes, namely, optimal simultaneous power and rate adaptation (opra), truncated channel inversion with fixed rate (tifr) and channel inversion with fixed rate without truncation (cifr). Numerical results supported by simulations are presented to consolidate our studies. The impacts on the effective capacity of various system parameters such as the number of antennas, the average interference power constraint and the delay QoS constraint are investigated in detail. It is shown that MRC diversity can significantly improve the effective capacity of the SU especially for cifr transmission scheme.

이동통신 환경에서 송신 다이버시티를 이용하는 STBC-OFDW(Space Time Block Code-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템의 성능은 두 심볼을 전송하는 시간 동안 채널 특성이 변하지 않을 경우, MRRC (Maximal Ratio Receiver Combining)의 다이버시티 이득을 얻는다. 그러나 채널 특성이 변하게 되면 수신단에서 수신 심볼간에 서로 간섭영향을 주기 때문에 MRRC의 다이버시티 이득이 발생하지 않는다. 따라서 이동통신환경에서 송신 다이버시티를 적용한 이동체가 고속으로 이동할 경우 이러한 간섭영향에 의한 성능 감소의 영향을 줄일 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이동통신 환경에서 개선된 송신 다이버시티를 이용하여 STBC-OFDM 시스템의 성능을 개선시킬 수 있는 수신기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안하는 구조는 수신단에 ZF(Zero Forcing) 알고리즘을 이용한 간섭제거기를 사용하여 전송대역폭의 변화 없이 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과 도플러 주파수가 클수록 성능 개선 정도가 커지는 특징을 갖는다.
