It is impossible to provide full diversity and full rate simultaneously using more than two transmit antennas in transmit diversity system. To do this, simple interference cancellation scheme and transmit power allocation scheme have been proposed, recently. But the former has increased noise power and the latter has increased interference which is induced by other channel in fading channel. In this paper, we propose an adaptive transmit power allocation algorithm to minimize the estimation error in the channel environments which have different fading levels each other and to improve the system performance.

Underwater acoustic channels are generally recognized as one of the most difficult communication media because of the multipath propagation, dispersion, and so on. MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output) techniques have been actively pursued in underwater acoustic communications recently to increase the data rate over the bandwidth-limited channels. The transmit diversity techniques can be applied in this case, and one of them is Alamouti's scheme. In this paper the performances of the transmit diversity technique are evaluated via experiment. Two transmitters and two receivers were used in experiment, and the experiment was performed in indoor water tank. The error rate 5~8% was confirmed in experimental results, and these are the improved values than the error rate 14.8% for SISO(Single-input single-output) channel under same data rate condition.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the ARQ-aided downlink Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TSTD) in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system, when power ramping is applied. The proposed power ramping scheme ramps up the transmission power and then retransmits the data, when the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and the response signal is NACK signal. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme yields about 0.7dB performance gain in terms of average Eb/N0, compared with the conventional ARQ-aided TSTD when a mobile speed is 3km/h and an frame error rate (FER) is 1%, respectively. In addition, 2.5% of throughput gain is shown when average Eb/N0 is equal to 0dB.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of ARQ-aided Time Switched Transmit Diversity (ARQ-TSTD) applying the multi-level control signaling in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system. Proposed ARQ-TSTD system applies the multi-level control signaling scheme in which the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and defines NACK2 signal for multi-level control. Transmitter utilize the NACK2 control signal to the postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme proposed by this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed postponement of transmission and multi-user scheduling scheme yield about 1.3dB, 1.4dB performance gain respectively, compared with the conventional ARQ-TSTD with antenna switching scheme in tenn of the frame error rate (FER) for mobile speed of 3km/h and FER value of 10%. In addition, 14% and 11.5% of throughput gain respectively is shown when Eb/N0=-3dB.

In this paper, we proposes a D-STTD(Double-Space Time Transmit Diversity) communication system with AMC scheme and analyzes its performance using simulation experiments. The AMC scheme selects an optimal channel coding rate and modulation scheme based on the channel response data for signal transmission, creating a balance between error rate and throughput to improve the overall system throughput and transmission quality. The D-STTD scheme complements the conventional STTD(Space Time Transmit Diversity) scheme, yielding about twice the throughput. The simulation results show that the probability of selecting a high MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) level increased as the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) improved. Furthermore, the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme provided a more uniform throughput distribution throughout the entire SNR range compared to its counterpart which did not apply AMC scheme. Also, the maximum throughput of the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme was twice that of a conventional AMC communication system or a STTD communication system with AMC scheme.

In this paper, we proposed a trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM system with multiple transmit/receive antenna diversity technique, which is simple and suitable for indoor wireless communications. The proposed multiple transmit/receive antenna diversity technique is that the transmitter sends a trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM signal from multiple transmitting antennas with intentional time delays, which makes a receiver possible to distinguish and combine the signals from different antennas. In wireless indoor communication system, if we allow the increase of the complexity of the system, it is also possible to achieve additional diversity gain in the performance with the combination of the proposed technique and the conventional receiving antenna diversity. Furthermore, we have found that the proposed trellis coded Multi-Carrier CDMA 16 QAM system, which employs multiple transmit/receive antenna, is less sensitive to the multiple user interference and fading than conventional receiving antenna diversity systems.

In this paper, we propose a full rate quasi-orthogonal space-time-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(QOSTF-OFDM) that can achieve full symbol rate with four transmit antennas. Sincr: the proposed QOSTF-OFDM can not achieve full diversity, we use diversity advantage collection with zero forcing (DAC-ZF) decoder to compensate the diversity loss at receive side. At the same frequency efficiency, compared with linear orthogonal space-time codes which can not achieve full rate with four transmit antennas over complex constellations, low level modulation can be employed by proposed scheme due to its full rate, i.e., modulation advantage can be achieved. Due to modulation advantage and collected diversify advantage, the proposed scheme exhibits better BER performance than other orthogonal schemes.

Signal Fading due to multipath propagation severely impairs the performance of high-speed mobile communication systems. Effective diversity scheme for fading channel is STTD (Space Time Transmitter Diversity) method. This scheme is very simple and using 2 transmit antennas and 1 receive antenna provides a diversity order of two[1],[2]. In this paper, we derive the new probability density function of the envelope of the received signal over correlated Rayleigh fading channel. Using the new pdf of the envelope we analyze the performance of noncoherent M-ary FSK, DPSK and ASKSTTD (Space Time Transmitter Diversity) a system on correlated Rayleigh fading channel.

The authors have proposed novel TDD-CDMA systems with Pre-Rake transmit diversity schemes (system 1 and system 2) using multiple transmit antennas in [2] and have also evaluated the system performance through the theoretical analysis and computer simulation. However, the performance of system 2 which transmit a signal using all antennas has not been evaluated for multi-user environment. Therefore in this paper, we analyze the performance of system 2 for multi-user environment and compare the performance with that of the already proposed system 1 which chooses only one antenna. From the numerical results, it is found that system 2 outperforms system 1 as the number of users increases while system 1 outperforms system 2 at a small number of users. Therefore in order to achieve the best system performance, the Pre-Rake transmit diversity type should be selected at the base station according to the number of users.

송신단에 다중안테나를 사용하는 송신 다이버시티 기법에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access)2000과 3GPP(The third generation partnership project)에서 고려한 개루프 송신 다이버시티 기법인 STTD(Space time transmit diversify), OTD (Orthogonal transmit diversity), STS(Space time spreading)를 다수 반송파 CDMA 시스템에 적용시킬 경우 하향링크 (Downlink)에서의 성능을 평가한다. STS와 STTD방식은 동일한 성능을 보이지만 STS방식은 복잡도와 높은 PAR(Peak to average ratio)의 단점을 보이며, OTD는 이 두 방식에 비해 성능이 떨어지는 것을 보여준다.
