    An Effective Channel Estimation for Massive MIMO–OFDM System
    (2020-09-01)
    Mata, Tanairat
    ;
    The massive Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO–OFDM) system provides a high data transmission for the next generation mobile communication i.e. 4G, 5G, etc. In the practical MIMO–OFDM system, N points of IFFT/FFT is larger than M data subcarriers (N> M) in each OFDM symbol to reject the aliasing after D/A converter. To demodulate information data, the channel responses for all MIMO channel links need to be estimated so as to employ in MIMO data detection for demodulation at the receiver. The discrete Fourier transform estimator (DFE) was proposed for the system which can estimate the MIMO channels accurately when N= M. However, its accuracy will be hugely degraded when N> M because of the oversampling of data transmission. To improve the estimation accuracy when N> M, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) was proposed for the system which can achieve higher estimation accuracy than that of the DFE. However, its accuracy will be degraded a lot in the massive MIMO–OFDM system when N> M, due to the estimation error increased in proportion to the increasing of N<inf>T</inf> transmit antennas. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a direct time-domain estimator (DTE) with preamble symbol with scattered-pilot (preamble-SCP) for the massive MIMO–OFDM system when N> M. In the proposed method, it is presented with three salient features; achieving higher estimation accuracy with keeping almost the same computational complexity as the conventional estimators, improving Bit- Error- Rate (BER) with low-complexity MIMO data detection, and providing higher transmission data rate compared with the MLE. Using the normalizedMSE, BER and throughput evaluated by computer simulations, it can be verified that the proposed DTE with preamble-SCP obviously provides higher estimation accuracy, better BER with low-complexity MIMO data detection, and much higher transmission data rate which is approximately 32.5 Mbps gain over the MLE at 5 MHz-BW respectively.

    Evolution of STBC-based OFDM-IM for wireless vehicular communication
    (2026-01-01)
    Mata, Tanairat
    ;
    This paper studies wireless vehicular communication (VehCom) in intelligent transportation systems using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM). In the concept of IM, data is transmitted not only through the modulated symbols but also via the indices of the active subcarriers. In contrast to the original OFDM, OFDM-IM activates only non-zero subcarriers, increasing energy efficiency. However, the pilot-assisted channel estimation (CE) method is a significant challenge in OFDM-IM, where the desired pilot subcarrier interval is related to the OFDM-IM subblock length. This paper proposes a walsh-scattered pilot-assisted CE for OFDM-IM VehCom. The optimum walsh-scattered pilot assignment is proposed to improve the transmission efficiency. Furthermore, a space-time block code with a high transmit diversity gain is employed for OFDM-IM VehCom to enhance VehCom's signal quality. The results show that the proposed method performs higher CE accuracy and better bit-error rate with significant spectral and energy efficiencies than conventional methods.

    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.

    In a two-way relay communication system, two user terminals (UTs) can communicate and exchange their information data through a relay station by using two timeslots. To realize the two-way relay communication system, each UT is required to estimate channel frequency responses (CFRs) both for up and down links in two timeslots efficiently which be employed in the demodulation of the other user’s information data with frequency domain equalization. To satisfy this requirement, this paper proposes a novel CFR estimation method for the wireless two-way relay communication system of using SFBC MIMO-OFDM technique. The salient feature of proposed CFR estimation method is to employ the maximum likelihood estimation method for the proposed scattered pilot subcarriers assignment which can achieve higher CFR estimation accuracy even in higher time-varying fading channel and when the transmission OFDM signal is sampled by the non-Nyquist rate. In the proposed system, the SFBC technique is also employed for the data subcarriers both for the pilot symbols including data subcarriers and data symbols consisting of all data subcarriers in the frequency axis to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance in the two-way relay system. From the computer simulation results, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed two-way relay communication system of using SFBC MIMO-OFDM technique. To demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed two-way relay communication system of using SFBC MIMO-OFDM technique, this paper conducts various computer simulations as comparing with the conventional methods in higher time-varying fading channel. From the computer simulation results, this paper confirms that the proposed method even at the non-Nyquist rate can achieve higher channel estimation accuracy evaluated by the normalized mean square error (NMSE) and better BER performances by 5 and 22 times, respectively as comparing with the conventional methods when the normalized Doppler frequency (f<inf>d</inf>T<inf>S</inf>) is 10 <sup>- 2</sup> and the carrier to noise power ratio (C/N) is 25 dB.

    Proposal of a combined CFR estimation method for practical bidirectional ANC-OFDM system in higher time-varying fading channel
    (2019-07-15)
    Mata, Tanairat
    ;
    In bidirectional analogue network coding based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ANC-OFDM) system, two users can transfer their data to each other via the Relay during two timeslots. Each user can demodulate the other user’s data after removing the self-data with equalizing by employing the combined channel frequency response (CFR) estimated at each user in the 2nd timeslot. From this reason, the accurate channel estimation method for the combined CFR acts on the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the bidirectional ANC-OFDM system. To satisfy the requirement, a combined CFR estimation with Chu code and a combined CFR estimation with Walsh code methods were proposed for bidirectional ANC-OFDM system which can achieve the higher channel estimation accuracy. However, their accuracy of channel estimation would be degraded a lot at the non-Nyquist rate in the practical bidirectional ANC-OFDM system. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a combined CFR estimation method for practical bidirectional ANC-OFDM system which can improve much higher the accuracy of channel estimation and get better BER performance. The silent features of the proposed method are to estimate the combined CFR by applying the maximum likelihood technique with the proposed special pilot subcarrier arrangement which can provide the accurate channel estimation for the combined CFR in the practical bidirectional ANC-OFDM system and to estimate the combined CFR over one OFDM frame by applying the cubic spline interpolation technique which can achieve the higher channel estimation accuracy in higher time-varying fading channel. In the performance evaluations, the normalized mean square error (MSE) as the channel estimation accuracy and BER performances are evaluated by using the computer simulations in higher time-varying fading channel at the non-Nyquist rate. The excellent normalized MSE and BER performances of the proposed method have been verified by the computer simulations in this paper.

    Satellite pose estimation (PE) is crucial for space missions and orbital maneuvering. High-accuracy satellite PE could reduce risks, enhance safety, and help achieve the objectives of close proximity and docking operations for autonomous systems by reducing the need for manual control in the future. This article presents a joint iterative satellite PE and particle swarm optimization (PE-PSO) method. The PE-PSO method uses the number of batches derived from satellite PE as the number of particles and keeps the number of epochs from the satellite PE process as the number of epochs for PSO. The objective function of PSO is the training function of the implemented network. The output obtained from the previous objective function is applied to update the new positions of the particles, which serve as the inputs of the current training function. The PE-PSO method is tested on synthetic Soyuz satellite image datasets acquired from the Unreal Rendered Spacecrafts On-Orbit Datasets (URSOs) under different preset hyperparameters. The proposed method significantly reduces the incurred loss, especially during the batch-processing operation of each epoch. The results illustrate the accuracy improvement attained by the PE-PSO method over epoch processing, but its time consumption is not distinct from that of the conventional method. In addition, PE-PSO achieves better performance by reducing the mean position estimation error by 13.1% and the mean orientation estimation error on the testing dataset by 29.1% based on the pretrained weights of Common Objects in Context (COCO). Additionally, PE-PSO improves the accuracy of the Soyuz_hard-based weight by 7.8% and 0.3% in terms of the mean position estimation error and mean orientation estimation error, respectively.

    In OFDM wireless communications, channel estimation performance is compromised in high-speed railway environments owing to extremely fast multipath fading and severe Doppler effect. Recently, a deep learning approach has been employed to improve the channel estimation performance, however it encounters significant challenges due to its high computational complexity. In order to deal with these challenges, this paper proposes channel estimation employing deep learning with one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D CNN) schemes to enhance conventional least squares (LS) estimation. The first scheme provides better performance compared to conventional LS estimation. However, it is only suitable for OFDM systems with full pilot symbols, leading to decreased transmission efficiency and high complexity. In order to address those problems, the second scheme develops 1D CNN-based channel estimation employing scattered pilot symbols to enhance transmission efficiency and reduce computational complexity. In comparison to conventional LS estimation and deep learning-based channel estimation with bi-gated recurrent unit (bi-GRU), the performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed 1D CNN-based schemes simultaneously improve channel estimation performance, transmission efficiency, and reduce computational complexity.

    In higher time-varying fading channels, the signal quality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique would be degraded relatively due to the occurrence of inter-carrier interference (ICI). To solve this problem, this paper firstly proposes a new design of time domain training sequence (TS) in the estimation of channel impulse response (CIR) for the TS-OFDM signal which can reduce the leakage of power spectrum density (PSD) at the outside of OFDM allocated frequency bandwidth with keeping higher CIR estimation accuracy. Secondly, this paper proposes a time domain equalization (TDE) method which can achieve better bit error rate (BER) performance with keeping lower computation complexity even in higher time-varying fading channels. The salient feature of the proposed TDE method is to employ a partial differentiation for the time domain CIR matrix for solving the maximum likelihood (ML) equation in which the time domain CIR matrix becomes a symmetric banded matrix. From this feature, a low-complexity parallel block inverse matrix algorithm can be employed in the calculation of inverse matrix in keeping the same accuracy as that of the direct inverse matrix calculation. This paper presents various computer simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed TDE method for the TS-OFDM signal as compared with conventional frequency domain equalization (FDE) methods under higher mobile environments.

    The mobile traffic continuously grows at a rapid rate driven by the widespread use of wireless devices. Along with that, the demands for higher data rate and better coverage lead to increase in power consumption and operating cost of network infrastructure. The concept of heterogeneous networks (Het-Nets) has been proposed as a promising approach to provide higher coverage and capacity for cellular networks. HetNet is an advanced network consisting of multiple kinds of base stations, i.e., macro base station (MBS), and small base station (SBS). The overlay of many SBSs into the MBS coverage can provide higher network capacity and better coverage in cellular networks. However, the dense deployment of SBSs would cause an increase in the power consumption, leading to a decrease in the energy efficiency in downlink cellular networks. Another technique to improve energy efficiency while reducing power consumption in the network is to introduce sleep control for SBSs. This paper proposes cell throughput based sleep control which the cell capacity ratio for the SBSs is employed as decision criteria to put the SBSs into a sleep state. The simulation results for downlink communications demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves the energy efficiency, compared with the conventional scheme.

    Air pollutant concentration prediction is essential not only for effective air quality management but also for planning aircraft and ground vehicle route networks in terminal areas. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) is used to predict the concentration levels of four types of air pollutants (CO, NO<inf>2</inf>, PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and PM<inf>10</inf>) at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. By leveraging Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) historical data, aircraft trajectory pattern clustering is implemented by using K-means and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithms. Then, those trajectory patterns are inputted together with other flight data into ANN computation processes, resulting in an effective air pollutant prediction model for each kind of focus pollutant. The results demonstrate that the mean square errors (MSEs) of the predicted models for CO and PM<inf>2.5</inf> have acceptable values of 51.7622 and 53.9682, respectively, while the predicted model for NO<inf>2</inf> and PM<inf>10</inf> has MSEs of 139.6674 and 124.2517, respectively. This study contributes to the advancement of air pollutant prediction methodologies, facilitating better decision-making processes, proactive air quality management, and route network planning at airports. Although some prediction models for focused air pollutants have slightly high MSEs, further study is needed to enhance the prediction model capacity.
