본 논문에서는 고속무선통신에 널리 사용되고 있는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 데이터 전송시스템에서 반송파주파수 옵셋(Offset)에 의한 잔류 위상 오차와 샘플링 주파수 옵셋에 의한 잔류 오차를 추적하고 보상하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 시스템에서는 서로 직교성을 가지는 부반송파들이 디지털 데이터에 의해 변조되어 동시에 전송된다 반송파 주파수 옵셋이 존재하는 경우에는 신호 대 잡음비의 감소 그리고 인접 부반송파의 간섭 등이 발생한다. 또한 송신단과 수신단에서의 샘플링 주파수의 차이로 인한 샘플링 시점의 오차도 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 시스템에서 성능저하의 주요한 요인으로 작용한다. 반송파 주파수의 오차와 샘플링 주파수의 오차는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 시스템에서 중요한 성질중의 하나인 직교성 상실을 초래하며 이는 성능저하의 원인으로 작용하므로 수신단에서는 지속적으로 잔류 오차를 추적하여 보상해 주는 방식의 적용이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 선택적 페이딩 무선 채널 환경에서 파일롯 데이터뿐만 아니라 채널이득 정보 및 페이로드 데이터를 주파수 오차 추정에 반영하여 추정오차를 줄이고 이 추정 값을 주파수 오차 보상에 반영하여 성능 향상을 달성할 수 있는 방식을 제안한다.

The underwater acoustic wireless communication networks are generally formed by the different autonomous underwater acoustic vehicles, and transceivers interconnected to the bottom of the ocean with battery deployed modems. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become the most popular modulation technique in underwater acoustic communication due to its high data transmission and robustness over other symmetrical modulation techniques. To maintain the operability of underwater acoustic communication networks, the power consumption of battery-operated transceivers becomes a vital necessity to be minimized. The OFDM technology has a major lack of peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which results in the consumption of more power, creating non-linear distortion and increasing the bit error rate (BER). To overcome this situation, we have contributed our symmetry research into three dimensions. Firstly, we propose a machine learning-based underwater acoustic communication system through long short-term memory neural network (LSTM-NN). Secondly, the proposed LSTM-NN reduces the PAPR and makes the system reliable and efficient, which turns into a better performance of BER. Finally, the simulation and water tank experimental data results are executed which proves that the LSTM-NN is the best solution for mitigating the PAPR with non-linear distortion and complexity in the overall communication system.

We propose a new bandwidth-efficient technique that achieves high data rates over a wideband wireless channel. This new scheme is targeted for a multiple-input multiple- output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system that achieves transmit diversity through a space frequency block code and capacity enhancement through the iterative joint processing of zero-forcing detection and maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is compared to the coded Bell Labs Layered Space-Time OFDM (BLAST-OFDM) scheme.

We apply the Bayesian matching pursuit (BMP) algorithm to the estimation of time-frequency selective channels in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. By exploiting prior statistics and sparse characteristics of propagation channels, the Bayesian method provides a more accurate and efficient detection of the channel status information (CSI) than do conventional sparse channel estimation methods that are based on compressive sensing (CS) technologies. Using a reasonable approximation of the system model and a skillfully designed pilot arrangement, the proposed estimation scheme is able to address the Doppler-induced inter-carrier interference (ICI) with a relatively low complexity. Moreover, to further reduce the computational cost of the channel estimation, we make some modifications to the BMP algorithm. The modified algorithm can make good use of the group-sparse structure of doubly selective channels and thus reconstruct the CSI more efficiently than does the original BMP algorithm, which treats the sparse signals in the conventional manner and ignores the specific structure of their sparsity patterns. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed Bayesian estimation has a good performance over rapidly time-varying channels.

차량통신은 통신시스템과 차량산업을 융합하여 ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems)분야에서 다양한 서비스 제공을 위해 고려되어져 왔다. 일반적으로 차량통신은 WAVE (Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments)라고 알려져 있는 IEEE 802.11p/1609표준을 채택하여 차량간 통신 및 차량-노변기지국간 통신에 이용된다. WAVE 시스템은 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호를 5.9GHz대의 주파수를 사용하여 신호를 전송하는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 차량통신 영역 중 물리계층의 이슈들에 관하여 논의한다. 먼저 WAVE 표준의 물리계층과 5.9GHz대의 신호의 특성에 대해 살펴본 후 신뢰성 있는 통신링크 제공을 위해 물리계층에서 개선되어야할 점에 대해 논의한다.

이 논문에서는 동일채널 간섭이 존재하는 채널 환경에서 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템의 수신 다이버시티 결합 방법을 제시한다. 제시한 방법에서 각 수신 안테나로부터의 수신 신호는 주파수 영역에서 부반송파 단위로 결합하며, 잡음과 간섭 전력을 고려한 MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining)를 적용한다. 잡음과 간섭 전력은 채널의 제한된 지연 확산에 기인하는 주파수 대역에서의 상관특성(coherency)을 이용하여 상관성이 큰 일정구간 이내의 부채널에 대해 잡음과 간섭 전력의 평균을 취함으로써 더 정확한 추정치를 얻는다. IEEE 802.11a 무선 LAN 규격에서 모의실험한 결과 제안방법은 간섭전력을 이용하지 않는 방식에 비해 신호대잡음비를 2-3.5dB 개선하였으며, 정확하게 잡음 및 간섭 전력을 추정한 경우에 대해 1dB 이내로 접근하는 결과를 나타내었다.

Visible light communications (VLC) using the intensity modulation of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provides a new communication medium to overcome the shortage of radio spectrum, and allows reuse of LED lighting infrastructures. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) was introduced to VLC for its merits in mitigating the fading effects resulting from delay spread, and in avoiding low-frequency ambient interference. Noise and clipping are two major factors that degrade the performance of OFDM in VLC. A larger signal easily overcomes noise, but experiences impairment by clipping. Therefore, degradation due to clipping has a trade-off relationship with that due to noise, depending on the signal amplitude of OFDM. In this paper, the optimal signal amplitude in the trade-off is obtained by simulation when the dimming and LED intensity are given. The former indicates a user's requirement for lighting, and the latter represents the channel quality. The required LED intensity-to-noise ratio, as the channel quality that guarantees dimming as well as an adequate bit-error rate (BER), is also discussed.

이 논문에서는 직교 주파수분할 다중화(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing: OFDM) 수신기에서 수신 신호를 과표본화(oversampling)하여 성능을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 수신된 OFDM 신호를 복조하는 것은 각 부반송파에 해당하는 정현파 성분의 진폭과 위상을 추출하는 것과 동일하다. OFDM 수신신호를 과표본화 하면 주파수 영역에서 진폭은 동일하고 위상만 다른 신호를 과표본화율만큼 중복해서 얻을 수 있다. 이 성질을 이용하여 과표본화율만큼 신호대잡음비를 개선할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 과표본화율이 정수인 경우만 가능하던 기존의 과표본화 방법을 일반적인 비정수로 확장하고 그에 적합한 수신기 구조를 제안하고자 한다. 또 모의실험을 통해 비이상적인 대역제한 필터를 사용하는 수신기의 성능을 비교함으로써 제안한 방식의 타당성을 보인다.

The filtered orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (F-OFDM) system has been recommended as a waveform candidate for fifth-generation (5G) communications. The suppression of out-of-band emission (OOBE) and asynchronous transmission are the distinctive features of the filtering-based waveform frameworks. Meanwhile, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is still a challenge for the new waveform candidates. Partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an effective technique for mitigating the trend of high PAPR in multicarrier systems. In this study, the PTS technique is employed to reduce the high PAPR value of an F-OFDM system. Then, this system is compared with the OFDM system. In addition, the other related parameters such as frequency localization, bit error rate (BER), and computational complexity are evaluated and analyzed for both systems with and without PTS. The simulation results indicate that the F-OFDM based on PTS achieves higher levels of PAPR, BER, and OOBE performances compared with OFDM. Moreover, the BER performance of F-OFDM is uninfluenced by the use of the PTS technique.

This study proposes a novel, conditionally applied neural network technique to reduce the overall peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system while maintaining an acceptable bit error rate (BER) level. The main purpose of the proposed scheme is to adjust only those subcarriers whose peaks exceed a given threshold. In this respect, the developed C-ANN algorithm suppresses only the peaks of the targeted subcarriers by slightly shifting the locations of their corresponding frequency samples without affecting their phase orientations. In turn, this achieves a reasonable system performance by sustaining a tolerable BER. For practical reasons and to cover a wide range of application scenarios, the threshold for the subcarrier peaks was chosen to be proportional to the saturation level of the nonlinear power amplifier used to pass the generated OFDM blocks. Consequently, the optimal values of the factor controlling the peak threshold were obtained that satisfy both reasonable PAPR reduction and acceptable BER levels. Furthermore, the proposed system does not require a recovery process at the receiver, thus making the computational process less complex. The simulation results show that the proposed system model performed satisfactorily, attaining both low PAPR and BER for specific application settings using comparatively fewer computations.
