In cellular mobile radio systems with frequency reuse, the interference signals degrade the channel estimation and signal detection performance due to the low signal-to-interference ratio near coverage boundaries. When the preamble pilot sequences from different cells are orthogonal or located in disjointed positions, they can be used for multi-cell channel estimation and interference cancellation. In time-varying channels caused by Doppler spread, data pilot symbols are needed for channel estimations. However, data pilot symbols are usually located in identical positions for the overhead reduction, which degrades the channel estimation performance. In this paper, we demonstrate a significant amount of performance improvement is achieved by multiplying different pseudonoise(PN) sequences to the data pilot symbols from adjacent interference cells. In particular, for detection scheme using maximal ratio combining(MRC) and inter-cell spatial demultiplexing(ISD), quantitative performance gain of spectral efficiency for different values of Doppler frequency and interference power is presented.

시변 페이딩 채널환경에서 DS-CDMA 다중 사용자 환경의 이동통신 시스템에서 채널의 효율을 높이기 위해 학습 신호열을 사용하지 않는 새로운 블라인드 등화 기법을 제안한다. 블라인드 등화 기법 중에서 가장 성능이 좋은 CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)는 가변하는 페이딩 채널환경에서 채널등화에 효과적이지 못하다. 따라서 Kalman 필터와 CMA를 결합한 새로운 등화 기법은 자승 오차와 Eye-Pattern의 성능 비교를 통해 기존의 방법 보다 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In Cognitive Radio network, spectrum selection scheme is one of a important part to manage idle spectrums efficiently. However, in CR networks, they have to adopt time-varying channel availability to minimize the interference to primary users (PU), and be able to manage spectrum resources efficiently. In this paper, we proposed a modified PF scheduler which can be appropriate to schedule downlink CR users and channels, by considering the fairness and the throughput as well as the primary user characteristics of each channel.

본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 심벌 타이밍 jitter 를 최소화하기 위해 가장 강한 신호를 주기적으로 감시하고, 그 신호를 적응적으로 DLL(Delayed Locked Loop)의 기준 신호로 정한다. 결과적으로 제안된 알고리즘은 DLL 추적 실패를 피할 수 있고, 기존의 알고리즘에 비하여 DLL의 정상 상태 추적 오류가 작다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘의 정상상태 DLL 추적오류가 작고 다중 경로 상황에서 DLL 추적 실패를 피할 수 있음을 확인 하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘은 OFDM 의 시간동기 복원 알고리즘에 적합하다.

The major reason that reduces the performance of satellite communication channels is known as the nonlinearities of high power amplifiers(HPA's) which are usually modeled by memoryless nonlinear systems, in the channels. This paper proposes a nonlinear adaptive predistorter,which predistorts the input symbols such that the symbol passing through the nonlinear HPA preserves the desired constellation, and derives the region of convergence for the predistorter. The predistorter has capability of coping adaptively with any time-varying environment such as changes of operating points if HPA since the coefficients of the predistorter which has a form of truncated Tayler series are obtained by recursive optimization procedure utilizing QAM data sequence directely. Simulation results show that the proposed one with 16 QAM input has better performance than the conventional fixed predistorter with the same input.

In this paper, we investigate channel estimation techniques based on the comb-type pilot arrangement for a mobile MIMO OFDM system. Moreover, to enhance channel estimation, an efficient channel estimation technique is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimator is accurate and effective for tracking variations of channels between multiple transmit antennas and receive antennas in time-varying radio channels.

The user experience of practical indoor power line communication (PLC) applications is greatly affected by the system quality-of-service (QoS) criteria. With a general broadcast-and-multi-access (BMA) relay scheme, in this work we investigate the joint source and relay power optimization of the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay systems used under indoor broad-band PLC environments. To achieve both time diversity and spatial diversity from the relay-involved PLC channel, which is time-varying in nature, the source node has been configured to transmit an identical message twice in the first and second signalling phase, respectively. The QoS constrained power allocation problem is not convex, which makes the global optimal solution is computationally intractable. To solve this problem, an alternating optimization (AO) method has been adopted and decomposes this problem into three convex/quasi-convex sub-problems. Simulation results show the fast convergence and short delay of the proposed algorithm under realistic relay-involved PLC channels. Compared with the two-hop and broadcast-and-forward (BF) relay systems, the proposed general relay system meets the same QoS requirement with less network power assumption.

A recurrent neural network has been frequently used in equalizing the channel for fast communication systems. The existing techniques, however, have mainly dealt with time-invariant chamois. The modern environments of communication systems such as mobile ones have the time-varying feature due to fading. In this paper, powerful decision feedback - recurrent neural network is used as channel equalizer for nonlinear and time-varying system, and two kinds of algorithms, such as extended Kalman filter (EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF), are proposed; EKF is for fast convergence and good tracing function, and SPKF for overcoming the problems which can be developed during the process of first linearization for nonlinear system EKF.

In this paper, we present the joint symbol detection and channel estimation for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in fading channels. The proposed methods are based on decision-directed channel estimation (DDCE) method and their symbol detection is achieved by using Viterbi algorithm. This Viterbi decision-directed channel estimation (VDDCE) method tracks time-varying channels and detects a maximum likelihood symbol sequence. Recursive Viterbi decision-directed channel estimation (RVDDCE) method based on VDDCE method is proposed to shorten the detecting depth. In this method, channel estimate and Viterbi processing are recursively performed every interval of training symbol. Also, average chann'el estimation (ACE) technique to reduce the effect of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is applied VDDCE method and RVDDCE method. These proposed methods arc demonstrated by computer simulation.
