이동 중의 차량에서 멀티 서비스를 지원받고자 하는 수요가 증가함에 따라 통신시스템과 차량산업을 융합하는 기술에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 서비스가 성공적으로 수행되기 위해서는 신뢰성 있는 정보의 전달과 우수한 수신성공률이 보장되어야 한다. 따라서 정확한 채널 값을 추정 할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 이 논문은 고속주행 환경에서 동작하는 차량용 통신 규격인 IEEE 802.11p에서 시변 채널추정을 위한 PTAU(Pilot Tone Aided Update) 결정지향 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 기법들은 시간영역에서 오류전파가 발생하므로 높은 서비스의 질을 제공하기 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 문제점의 보완을 위해 파일럿 부반송파들을 사용하였고, 주파수 대역에서 일정한 순서에 따라 추정한 값들을 업데이트시킴을 제안한다.

Vehicular communications enable a number of infotainment applications to serve cars under high mobility environments. To achieve this goal, a robust and accurate channel estimation scheme is of great importance. This paper proposes an enhanced Decision-Directed channel estimation scheme called PTAU(Pilot Tone Aided Update) for IEEE 802.11p in vehicular communication environment. Existing approaches which use subsequent data symbols to estimate channel response in time domain will lead to the error propagation. In this paper, we use the pilot subcarriers to get initial channel response, then utilize the correlation characteristics to update channel response in frequency domain. Finally, Analysis and simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms in bit error rate(BER), significantly improve the performance of the estimation.

Joint for time of arrival and direction of arrival estimation algorithm based on the subspace of extended hadamard product

In the joint estimation for time of arrival (TOA) and direction of arrival (DOA) in the narrow-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with antenna arrays, the estimation accuracy is not high in the situation of few numbers of arrays. Especially, DOA cannot be estimated if the number of multiple paths is more than that of the arrays. For these problems, a joint estimation algorithm for TOA and DOA based on the subspace of the extended hadamard product is proposed. First of all, the algorithm constructs an extended channel response in frequency domain via channel estimation for each array in the frequency domain. Then, auto-correlation matrix of extended channel response in the frequency domain is estimated by sampling many times. This estimation method of channel response in the frequency domain can use the fast Fourier transform algorithm. And the hadamard product in the extended noise subspace is obtained by eigenvalue decomposition. Finally, the pseudo-spectral function is constructed and used to search for spectrum peaks, so as to realize the joint estimation of TOA and DOA. The proposed algorithm requires no parameter paring but needs a two-dimensional searching. Monte Carlo algorithm can be used to reduce computational complexity. Simulation results show that the root mean square error of the joint TOA and DOA estimation which can be matched automatically is closer to the Cramer-Rao bound than that using present algorithms. And the proposed algorithm can be still applied when the number of multiple paths is more than number of arrays.

Block-Iterative Decision Feedback Equalizer With Noise Prediction for Single-Carrier MIMO Transmission

In this paper, the block-iterative decision feedback equalizer with noise prediction (NP-BI) is introduced for single-carrier (SC) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmission. In NP-BI, the decision feedback equalization can be realized in the frequency domain, and the equalizer coefficients can be easily calculated from the frequency-domain channel response. In addition, the proposed NP-BI can be well combined with the spatial precoding performed at the transmitter. The analysis shows that only one spatial precoding matrix is needed during one data block transmission. Therefore, the channel state information feedback for the transmitter precoding is very small. The simulation results show that the equalization performance of NP-BI is better than the frequency-domain equalization with NP (FDE-NP). In addition, the computational complexity of NP-BI is lower than FDE-NP.

ICI mitigation in concurrent multi-band receiver due to the phase noise and IQ imbalance

For the next generation long-term evolution (LTE) advanced mobile communication system, 100 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbit/s data speed are needed. However, there is not enough and wide vacant frequency band. Therefore, spectrum aggregation method has been studied to extend available frequency bands. Frequency synthesiser and power amplifier of transceiver should cover this wide bandwidth. The phase noise and In-phase and quadrature (IQ) imbalance would increase, which would be a serious problem in this transceiver. Also, signal-to-noise ratio becomes degraded because of nonlinearity and the quantisation noises of the Analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) in the receiver. Uplink of LTE-advanced uses Aggregated DFT-spread (NxDFT-S) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. Since the effect of the phase noise and IQ imbalance are more serious in the multi-band Discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-spreading OFDM system, we like to analyse the effect of inter-carrier interference in frequency domain of receiver and the degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance. Also, by the channel response in frequency domain of the uplink system, we separate phase noise and IQ imbalance effect. Finally, we like to propose a compensation method that estimates the channel exactly and removes IQ imbalance and phase noise. Simulation result shows that the proposed method achieves the 2 dB performance gain of BER = 10−4.

Frequency domain decision feedback equalizer for time-reversal space-time block coding

In this paper, a frequency domain decision feedback equalizer is proposed for single carrier transmission with time-reversal space-time block coding (TR-STBC). It is shown that the diagonal decision feedback equalizer matrix can be calculated from the frequency domain channel response. Under the perfect feedback assumption, the proposed equalizer can approach matched filter bound (MFB). Compared with the existing time domain decision feedback equalizer, the proposed equalizer exhibits better performance with the same equalization complexity.

스펙트럼 집성을 위한 멀티 밴드 DFT-S OFDM 시스템에서 직교 불균형과 위상 잡음의 영향 분석 및 보상

100 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbit/s data speed are needed in LTE-advanced for the next generation mobile communication system. Therefore, spectrum aggregation method has been studied recently to extend usable frequency bands. Also bandwidth utilization is increased since vacant frequencies are used to communicate. However, transceiver structure requires the digital RF and SDR. Therefore, frequency synthesizer and PA must operate over wide-bandwidth and RF impairments also increases in transceiver. Uplink of LTE advanced uses DFT-S OFDM using plural power amplifier. The effect of ICI increases in frequency domain of receiver due to phase noise and IQ imbalance. In this paper, we analyze influences of ICI in frequency domain of receiver considering phase noise and IQ imbalance in multiband system. Also, we separate phase noise and IQ imbalance effect from channel response in frequency domain of uplink system. And we propose a method to estimate the channel exactly and to compensate IQ imbalance and phase noise. Simulation result shows that the proposed method achieves the 2 dB performance gain of BER
