    Broadband Analog Network Coding (ANC) based on OFDM has been widely investigated to increase capacity of bi-directional relay communications. The broadband ANC based on OFDM technique is required to estimate channel frequency responses (CFRs) between both user terminals (UTs) and a relay station (RS) precisely so as to remove the self-information data from the received signal and to demodulate the other user's information data with frequency equalization. Many channel estimation methods have been proposed for the OFDM based broadband ANC. However bit error rate (BER) performance of these methods would be degraded relatively in higher time- varying fading channels due to the inaccurate estimation of CFR. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a CFR estimation method which can achieve better BER performance with keeping higher transmission efficiency even in higher time-varying fading channels. The salient features of proposed CFR estimation method are to enable the estimation of combined CFR at the UT for both channels between the UTs and RS by using scattered pilot subcarriers and to enable the demodulation of information data without feedback information of CFR estimated at the RS. This paper presents various simulation results in the higher time-varying fading channels to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed CFR estimation method for the bi-directional OFDM based ANC.

    This paper proposes a time domain channel estimation (TD-CE) method for Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. The feature of proposed TD-CE method is to estimate channel frequency responses for all links between transmit and receive antennas in MIMO-OFDM systems by using one scattered pilot preamble symbol in the time domain. The proposed method can achieve higher channel estimation accuracy even when the number of transmission antennas is larger and the transmission signal is sampled by a non-Nyquist rate in which the number of IFFT points is different from the number of data subcarriers due to the insertion of null subcarriers (zero padding) at the both ends of data subcarriers. This paper shows various computer simulation results in the time-varying fading channels to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed channel estimation method as comparing with the conventional channel estimation methods.

    Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular technique in the wireless communication systems which can achieve high transmission data rate with high signal quality even in the multipath fading channel which is a typical operation condition under wireless communication systems. MIMO (Multi Input-Multi Output)-OFDM is also considered as a promising technique for realizing the future ITS services. In this paper, we propose a new road to vehicle communication system (RVC) for the ITS by using the STBC MIMO-OFDM technique which can achieve a high transmission data rate with high signal quality even under the high mobile ITS environments. © 2013 IEEE.

    Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal would be damaged significantly by inter- carrier interference (ICI) in higher time-varying fading channels which leads fatal degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance due to the loss of orthogonality among subcarriers. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an iterative based maximum likelihood demodulation (MLD) method which can achieve better BER performance with lower computation complexity even in higher time-varying fading channels. The features of proposed method are to employ a time domain training sequence (TS) in the estimation of channel impulse response (CIR) instead of using pilot subcarriers in the frequency domain and to employ a time domain equalization (TDE) method with a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation instead of using a conventional frequency domain equalization (FDE) method. This paper also proposes a low-complexity iterative method for solving the simultaneous equations in the MLD method instead of using an inverse matrix calculation. This paper presents various simulation results in higher time-varying fading channels to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method as comparing with the conventional frequency domain equalization method.

    One of the disadvantages of using OFDM is the larger peak to averaged power ratio (PAPR) in its time domain signal as compared with the conventional single carrier modulation method. The larger PAPR signal would course the fatal degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance due to the inter-modulation noise occurring in the non-linear amplifier. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a simple PAPR reduction method by using dummy sub-carriers, which can achieve the better PAPR performance with less computational complexity than the conventional method. This paper presents various computer simulation results to verify the effectiveness of proposed method as comparing with the conventional method in the non-linear channel.

    A loss of subcarrier orthogonality in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal due to time-varying multipath fading channel causes an inter-carrier interference (ICI) which would lead fatal degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a high accuracy time domain channel impulse response (CIR) estimation method and a time domain equalization (TDE) method of using estimated CIR at every sampling time in conjunction with a low-complexity iterative method instead of using an inverse matrix calculation. The salient feature of proposed method is to employ a time-domain training sequence (TS) for the estimation of CIR at every sampling time and low-complexity iterative method for solving the simultaneous equations which are required in the TDE method. This paper presents various simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed TDE method as comparing with the conventional frequency domain equalization (FDE) method.

    Under highly mobile environments, the bit error rate (BER) performance of DFT spreading-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFTS-OFDM) signal with a frequency domain equalization method would be degraded relatively due to the loss of orthogonality among subcarriers. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an iterative based time domain equalization (TDE) technique with a time domain channel impulse response (CIR) estimation method for the DFTS-OFDM signal. The salient features of proposed method are to employ a time domain training sequence (TS) in the estimation of CIR instead of using the conventional pilot subcarriers method and to employ the TDE technique with a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method instead of using the conventional minimum mean square error frequency domain equalization (MMSE-FDE) method. This paper also proposes a low-complexity iterative method for the TDE method by using the preconditioned conjugate gradient squared (PCGS) algorithm for solving the simultaneous equations instead of using a direct calculation of inverse matrix. This paper presents various simulation results under highly mobile environments to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed iterative based TDE with the CIR estimation method for the DFTS-OFDM signal as comparing with the conventional MMSE-FDE method.

    Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) scheme has been applied to the OFDM signal for solving the high PAPR problem which can achieve better PAPR performance. However, because of the structure of the FBMC-OQAM signal which is different from the OFDM signal, the PTS scheme is not suitable for the FBMC-OQAM signal. For this reason, this paper considers the PAPR reduction for FBMC-OQAM signal. This paper proposes an overlapped PTS (OPTS) with Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. The silent features are to improve the PAPR by modifying the PTS scheme as OPTS scheme and less computational complexity in the PAPR optimization process by using the ABC algorithm. The PAPR reduction effectiveness of the proposed method has been confirmed by the simulation results in the paper.

    This paper proposes SFBC MIMO-OFDM based two-way relay system to improve signal quality with keeping higher transmission efficiency. In the two-way relay system, each user terminal (UT) is required to estimate channel frequency responses (CFRs) for up and down links between both UTs and RS (Relay Station) precisely which are used in the demodulation of the other user's information data with frequency domain equalization. To satisfy the above requirement, this paper proposes a novel CFR estimation method for the SFBC MIMO-OFDM based two-way relay system which can achieve better CFR estimation accuracy and better BER performance even in the higher time-varying fading channel. The salient features of proposed system are to employ the SFBC technique both for data subcarriers in the pilot symbols and data symbols and to apply the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Cubic Spline Interpolation methods to the estimated CFR at pilot subcarriers with Walsh codes in the estimation of CFR for the frequency axis and time axis, respectively. From the computer simulation results, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed system which can achieve higher signal quality with keeping higher transmission efficiency even in the higher time-varying fading channel.

    One of the major disadvantages of OFDM technique is the high PAPR in the time domain signal. The larger PAPR signal would cause the fatal degradation of BER performance and un-desirable spectrum regrowth in the nonlinear channel. One of the promising PAPR reduction methods is the Partial Transmit Sequence (PTS) method which can achieve better PAPR performance with reasonable computation complexity. But the PTS method is required to inform the side information to the receiver for the correct demodulation of data information by using the separate channel. To solve the above problem, this paper proposes a new PAPR reduction method without requiring the separate channel. The salient feature of the proposed method is to reduce the PAPR performance by reordering of clusters in the frequency domain at the transmitter and reconstructing the clusters by using the cluster ID under embedded in the data information at the receiver. The proposed method can achieve almost the same PAPR performance and computation complexity as those for the PTS method without requiring the transmission of side information. This paper presents various computer simulation results to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2013 IEEE.
