In this paper, we present the performance analysis of a multi-path searcher operating over Rayleigh fading channels when multiple transmit antennas are employed in the down-link of W-CDMA system. The simulation results for the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) for 1, 2, and 4 transmit antennas are presented to corroborate the theoretical analyses. We also propose a procedure to find the optimum parameters of double-dwell serial searcher according to the number of the multiple transmit antennas. Our analyses and simulations indicate that post-detection integration is not necessary when the number of transmit antennas is more than two. Finally, we found that increasing transmit diversity order does not necessarily improve the detection performance when the received pilot signal strength is relatively low. Therefore, this gives us a practical criterion on increasing transmit diversity order.

We present a space-time trellis coded OFDM system in slow fading channels. Generalized principal ratio combining (GPRC) is also analyzed theoretically in frequency domain. The analysis shows that the decoding metric of GPRC includes the metrics of maximum likelihood(ML) and PRC. The computer simulations with M-PSK modulation are obtained in frequency flat and frequency selective fading channels. The decoding complexity and simulation running times are also evaluated among the decoding schemes.

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) System makes the telecommunication possible between the Beacon and the On Board Unit(OBU) for automatic toll collection. In this paper, the propagation path of microwave is modelled and the induced voltage of receiving antenna is analyzed numerically according to multi-path fading effect. In our modelling, we consider frequency, weather condition, polarization and antenna radiation pattern. Also, we suggest the diversity technique in order to reduce the fading effect. In the resuts, the fading effect is reduced significantly in case of the vertical polarization at the rain condition. In general the circular polarization is the most desirable in this application. The antenna which has the high directivity, is also desirable. Using the space and frequency diversity technique at the Beacon, the fading effect is reduced effectively. These results are compared with our experimental data.

This Paper presents a modified hard decision Viterbi decoder with an error prediction circuit enhancing performance for the burst error inputs. Viterbi decoder employs the maximum likelihood decoding algorithm which shows excellent error correction capability for the random error inputs. Viterbi decoders, however, suffer poor error correction performance for the burst error inputs under the fading channel. The proposed error prediction algorithm increases error correction capability for the burst errors. The algorithm estimaties the burst error data area using the maximum path metric for the erroneous inputs, It calculates burst error intervals based on increases in the maximum values of a path metric. The proposed decoder keeps a performance the same as the conventional decoders on AWGN channels for the IEEE802.l1a WLAN system. It shows performance inproving 15% on the burst error of multi-path fading channels, widely used in mobile systems.

We propose two new types multi-stage blind clustering equalizers for QAM demoulation, which are called a complex classification algorithm(CCA) and a radial basis function algorithm(RBFA). The CCA uses a clustering technique based on the joint gaussian probability function and computes separately the real part and imaginary part for simple implementation as well as less computation. In order to improve the performance of CCA, the Dual-Mode CCA(DMCCA) incorporates the CCA tap-updating mode with the decision-directed(DD) mode. The RBFA reduces the number of cluster centers through three steps using the classification technique of RBF and then updates the equalizer taps for QAM demodulation. Test results on 16-QAM confirm that the proposed algorithms perform better the conventional multi-state equalizers in the senses of SER and MSE under multi-path fading channel.

In this paper, we have analyzed the MC-DS/CDMA system with input signal synchronized completely through adjustment of the gain in the PLL loop, by using the hybrid SC/MRC-(2/3) technique, which is said to one of the optimal diversity techniques under the multi-path fading environment, assuming that phase error is defined to the phase difference between the received signal from the multi-path and the reference signal in the PLL of the receiver. Also, assuming that the regarded radio channel model for the mobile communication is subject to the Nakagami-m fading channel, we have developed the expressions and performed the simulation under the consideration of various factor, in the MC/DS-CDMA system with the hybrid SC.MRC-(2/3) diversity method, such as the Nakagami fading index(m), $the\;number\;of\;paths\;(L_p),$ the number of hybrid SC.MRC-(2/3) $diversity\;branches\;(L,\;L_c),$ the number of users (K), the number of subcarriers (U), and the gain in the PLL loop. As a result of the simulation, it has been confirmed that the performance improvement of the system can be achieved by adjusting properly the PLL loop in order for the MC/DS-CDMA system with the hybrid SC/MRC-(2/3) diversity method to receive a fully synchronized signal. And the value of the gain in the PLL loop should exceed 7dB in order for the system to receive the signal with prefect synchronization, even though there might be a slight difference according to the values of the fading index and the spread processing gain of the subcarrier.

In this paper, we analyze the connectivity of cognitive radio ad-hoc networks in a log-normal shadow fading environment. Considering secondary user and primary user's locations and primary user's active state are randomly distributed according to a homogeneous Poisson process and taking into account the spectrum sensing efficiency of secondary user, we derive mathematical models to investigate the connectivity of cognitive radio ad-hoc networks in three aspects and compare with the connectivity of ad-hoc networks. First, from the viewpoint of a secondary user, we study the communication probability of that secondary user. Second, we examine the possibility that two secondary users can establish a direct communication link between them. Finally, we extend to the case of finding the probability that two arbitrary secondary users can communicate via multi-hop path. We verify the correctness of our analytical approach by comparing with simulations. The numerical results show that in cognitive radio ad-hoc networks, high fading variance helps to remarkably improve connectivity behavior in the same condition of secondary user's density and primary user's average active rate. Furthermore, the impact of shadowing on wireless connection probability dominates that of primary user's average active rate. Finally, the spectrum sensing efficiency of secondary user significantly impacts the connectivity features. The analysis in this paper provides an efficient way for system designers to characterize and optimize the connectivity of cognitive radio ad-hoc networks in practical wireless environment.

Multi carrier transmissions are digital modulation techniques where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other. With his technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. The performance of multi carrier transmission systems with various structure are analyzed, where data is transmitted over multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this technique, gauged by the average bit error rate, is compared dependent upon the various structures.

This paper aims to estimate the delay time of multiple signals in a multi-path environment. It also seeks to carry out a comparative analysis with the existing delay time under the proposed algorithm to develop a new algorithm that applies the space average method in a MUSIC algorithm. Unlike the existing delay time estimation algorithm, the developed algorithm was able to estimate the delay time in 5ns low. Therefore, the algorithm proposed in this paper improved the existing delay time estimated algorithm.

This paper proposes a blind channel estimation scheme for long code direct sequence code division multiple access (DS­CDMA) systems with multipath fading channels. This scheme combines the advantages of Toeplitz displacement and correlation matching methods to achieve improved performance. The basic idea is to remove the effects of noise and interferences with Toeplitz displacement operation and then estimate the multi path channel parameters with the correlation matching method. Simulation results are presented to show that the proposed scheme provides better MSE performance and robustness against the near-far problem.
