In this paper, a cooperative relaying protocol called soft-decision-and-forward (SDF) with multiple antennas in each node is introduced. SDF protocol exploits the soft decision source symbol values from the received signal at the relay node. For orthogonal transmission (OT), orthogonal codes including Alamouti code are used and for non-orthogonal transmission (NT), distributed space-time codes are designed by using a quasi-orthogonal space-time block code. The optimal maximum likelihood (ML) decoders for the proposed protocol with low decoding complexity are proposed. For OT, the ML decoders are derived as symbolwise decoders while for NT, the ML decoders are derived as pairwise decoders. It can be seen through simulations that SDF protocol outperforms AF protocol for both OT and NT.

본 논문에서는 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) 시스템을 위한 JBSTBC (Joint Beamforming Space-Time Block Code) 기법에 대해 소개한다 제안된 기법은 부스트림간 간섭등의 열악한 페이딩 상관이 존재하는 경우에 공간 다이버시티 이득을 높이기 위해 블록순 계층적 검파기(block-ordered layered detector)와 함께 송수신 고유빔 형성기법을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 JBSTBC 기법의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 여러 경우의 채널 환경에서 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 이러한 영향을 분명히 하기 위해 자세한 수식적인 유도를 수행하였다.

This paper proposes two detection algorithms for Multi-user Space Time Block Code systems. The first one is linear detection Gaussian Elimination algorithm, and then it combined with Ordered Successive Cancellation to get better performance. The comparisons between receiver and other popular receivers, including linear receivers are provided. It will be shown that the performance of Gaussian Elimination receiver is similar but more simplicity than linear detection algorithms and performance of Gaussian Elimination Ordered Successive Cancellation superior as compared to other linear detection method.

본 논문에서는 다중 송/수신안테나를 가지는 시공간 블록 부호를 ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) 지상파 방송 시스템에 적용하는 방법을 다루며, 특히, 2개의 송신 안테나와 다수의 수신안테나를 가지는 Alamouti의 구조를 ATSC 방송 시스템에 적용해 본다. 또한, 다중 수신안테나를 가지는 다이버시티 기법과 다중 송/수신안테나를 가지는 시공간 블록 부호의 구조를 비교해 본다. 전산 실험에 의하면. 다중 송/수신안테나를 가지는 ATSC 방송 시스템은 단일 송/수신안테나를 가지는 방송 시스템보다 Rayleigh 페이딩 채널 환경에서 매우 우수한 성능을 가진다.

This paper introduces the downlink Eigen-beamformer with Space-Time Block Code (STBC)[1,2] employed on the MISO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. The proposed scheme is acquired both transmit diversity gain from STBC and beamforming gain from Eigen-beamformer. In general, it is well described that the diversity gain be maximized when channel parameters associated to fingers are mutually independent. Major role of utilizing Eigen-beamformer is to enforce channel parameters being uncorrelated. According to this, the proposed STBC combined with Eigen-beamformer on the downlink significantly improves its performance under the spatially correlated channel. Simulation results are accomplished under three distinct channels conditioned with varying the degree of their correlations. The result indicates that our proposed scheme is good performance in spatially correlated channel.

In this paper, we present a method to improve the performance of the four transmit antenna quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) in the coded system. For the four transmit antenna case, the quasi-orthogonal STBC consists of two symbol groups which are orthogonal to each other, but intra group symbols are not. In uncoded system with the matched filter detection, constellation rotation can improve the performance. However, in coded systems, its gain is absorbed by the coding gain especially for lower rate code. We propose an iterative decoding method to improve the performance of quasi-orthogonal codes in coded systems. With conventional quasi-orthogonal STBC detection, the joint ML detection can be improved by iterative processing between the demapper and the decoder. Simulation results shows that the performance improvement is about 2dB at 1% frame error rate.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.

고속 데이터 전송을 위하여, 송수신단에 다중 안테나를 사용함으로써 독립적인 페이딩 채널을 다수개 형성하여 다이버시티 이득과 코딩 이득을 동시에 얻는 MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) 방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 아직 UWB(Ultra Wide Band) 시스템과의 간섭에 대한 분석은 이루어지고 있지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 공간 다이버시티 특성을 가진 블록 코드를 OFDM 시스템에 적용하여, MIMO-OFDM 수신기에 인접한 UWB 기기로부터 SFBC(Space Frequency Block Code)-OFDM 시스템과 SFTC(Space Frequency Trellis Code)-OFDM 시스템에 .미치는 간섭 영향을 MIMO 채널 환경에서 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 SFTC-OFDM 시스템이 MB(Multi Band)-OFDM UWB 간섭에 대해 SFBC-OFDM 시스템보다 더 강인한 성능을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 그룹(group)을 2개의 심볼(symbol)로 나누는 시스템을 제안하는데, 이 두 개의 더해진 심볼들은 다중화에 의해 분리된 후 역다중화 기술을 이용해 다시 합해진다. 제안된 시스템에서 간단한 PIC(Partial Interference Cancelation) 그룹 복호화 기술은 Double-ABBA(D-ABBA) 유사 직교(Quasi-Orthogonal) 시공간 부호(Space Time Code)를 위해 사용된다. 이 부호는 고차 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 시공간 블록 부호화에서 복호화시에 복잡도를 줄여준다. 그리고 기존의 방법과 제안된 방법과의 성능을 비교한다.
