Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can provide significant increments in capacity; however, the capacity of MIMO systems degrades severely when spatial correlation among multipath channels is present. This paper demonstrates that the influence of shadowing on the channel capacity is more substantial than that of multipath fading; therefore, the shadowing effect is actually the dominant impairment. To overcome the composite fading effects, we propose combining macroscopic selection diversity (MSD) schemes with MIMO technology. To analyze the system performance, the capacity outage expression of MIMO-based MSD (MSD-MIMO) systems using a characteristic function is applied. The analytic results show that there are significant improvements when MSD schemes are applied, even for the two-base-station diversity case. It is also observed that the effect of spatial correlation due to multipath fading is almost negligible when multiple base stations cooperatively participate in the mobile communication topology.

Due to the complexity of underwater acoustic channel, signal estimation in underwater acoustic communication field is considerably affected from time-varying multipath fading channels. On this reason, the original signals should have many long training signals to estimate the channel and the purposed signals, and the bit rate of signals having information may have small rate. In order to avoid this loss of efficiency in underwater communication, this paper employed a blind channel identification method which don't use training signals. Simulations have predicted performance of the employed method in multipath environment and an aquatic plant experiment has verified the simulation results.

A combined precoding and turbo decoding strategy for multi-path frequency-selective fading channels is presented. The precoder and multi-path fading channel are jointly modeled as a finite-state probabilistic channel to provide the multi-stage turbo decoder with its statistics information. Both a priori and a posteriori probabilities are used in the metric computation to improve the system performance. Structures of the combined turbo-encoder, interleaver, and precoder in the transmitter and two-stage turbo decoder in the receiver are described. Performance of the proposed scheme in fixed, Rician and Rayleigh multi-path fading channels are evaluated by simulation. The results indicate that the combined precoding and two-stage turbo decoding strategy provides a considerable performance improvement while maintaining the same inner structure of a conventional turbo decoder.

For intersymbol interference (ISI) compensation from communication channels with multi-path fading and impulsive noise, a decision feedback equalizer algorithm that minimizes Euclidean distance of error probability is proposed. The Euclidean distance of error probability is defined as the quadratic distance between the probability error signal and Dirac-delta function. By minimizing the distance with respect to equalizer weight based on decision feedback structures, the proposed decision feedback algorithm has shown to have significant effect of residual ISI cancellation on severe multipath channels as well as robustness against impulsive noise.

In this paper, we analysis the error performance improvement of the FS MC-CDMA, whose information data are spread spectrum with direct sequences(DS), and each subband signal is transmitted using a subcarrier frequency, combining BCH code in Mobile communication channels which is characterized by Nakagami fading. The effect of co-channel interference on the block error performance is also studied in this paper. As a results of study, the coding techniques provides more efficient improvement than non-coding, but the coding techniques are required more band as many coding rate. Our study demonstrates that the system is combined coding techniques, the amount of improvement is capable of efficiently exploiting over the Nakagami fading.

In this paper, the performance of DS/SS DPSK communications is analysed over fading dispersive channels considering the spreads of the channel in time and in frequency. The two spreads mentioned above are represented with multipath spread and Doppler spread, respectively. The bit error probabilities of DS/SS DPSK systems are derived in terms of channel and system parameters, and an approximation method is presented for computational efficiency. And the numerical results are given for various chip numbers in Rayleigh and Rician fading channels using the approximation method.

A hybrid PN code phase acquisition system based on a least-mean-square adaptive filter, interpreted as a channel estimator is proposed and analyzed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems under frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. Closed form expressions are derived for the filter tap weights and detection/false alarm probabilities. Compared to previously proposed systems, the proposed system achieves smaller mean acquisition times, is more robust to the operating signal-to-noise ratio and allows for multiplication free tap weight updates.

An adaptive channel estimation technique for OFDM-based DTV receivers is proposed using a new mobility estimator. Sample mean techniques for channel estimation have displayed good performance in slow fading channels, because averaging reduces noise In channel estimation operation. This paper suggests an algorithm which selects the optimal number of symbols within which the sample mean of consecutive pilot data can be obtained. The designed mobility estimator determines the optimal number by comparing mobility variance and estimated noise valiance. The algorithm using the mobility estimator obtains an optimal channel function under time-invariant or time-variant multipath fading channels, thereby making the best BER performance.

In this paper, the performance of the trellis coded CPFSK with the coherent detection over mobile communication channels is calculated. The characteristics of channels, including phase jitter effects and fading effects, are examined and modeled. The phase jitter channel is modeled to have a nonzero mean and a gaussian distribution. The fading channel has a Rayleigh distribution in the multipath. For the optimal decoding method(MLSE), the Viterbi algorithm is used for the trellis structure of trellis coded CPFSK. The results indicate that the trellis coded CPFSK with a small moulation indes gets more sensitive, as the index gets smaller, to the phase noise under the phase jitter channel. Using the interleaving method. It gives considerable improvements in the error rate under the fading channel.
