In this paper, we propose several techniques for the HomeRF system. A DC-offset compensation technique and a decision directed channel estimation technique are proposed. Because they use a TS field as reference information for initial training, the proposed techniques require no additional training sequence and only a little additional complexity. And finally, turbo coding technique and space-time block coding technique are considered as improved coding schemes. According to the results of our simulations, the performances of the proposed techniques are significantly improved in comparison with the conventional HomeRF system.

This paper presents a novel solution optimizing satellite access lower layers and system performances called variable size packets (VSPs) designed for the transport of Internet protocol (IP) datagrams or any packet type from the network layers characterized by a highly variable size. VSP objective is to maximize the, efficiency of layers 1 and 2 thrbugh a joint optimization of access and transport mechanisms mainly for satellite systems addressing residential or corporate terminals market through a multiple-access scheme. It, is particularly attractive for, the return link of next-generation satellite systems to be IP-based, as a possible evolution of the digital video broadcast-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) standard. The VSP solution relies on the definition of multiple encapsulation sizes, and is associated to a waveform and an access adapted to variable size packets' transport. It uses the traffic's variable size nature to increase encapsulation efficiency, coding, and spectral,efficiency performances, and system flexibility. It is well adapted to systems using an adaptive waveform leading to system capacity's increase and better performances. This paper describes the VSP principle, advantages and possible high-level system tradeoffs. It then focuses on one critical issue, the, coding, and presents a suitable coding scheme's choice with regards to performances and implementation complexity.

New space-time turbo trellis codes (ST turbo TCs) with 4-phase-shift keying (PSK) and 8-PSK for two, three, and four transmit antennas in slow and fast fading channels are proposed in this paper. The component codes of the space-time turbo schemes are constructed by choosing the feedforward coefficients to maximize the minimum squared Euclidean distance and the feedback coefficients to minimize the iterative decoding threshold. The performance of the proposed ST turbo TCs with various memory orders, transmit antennas, and interleaver structures is evaluated by simulation. It is shown that the new codes achieve better performance than previously designed codes. The impact of antenna correlation and imperfect channel estimation on the code performance is also discussed.

Multilevel Differential Amplitude and Phase-Shift Keying (DAPSK) schemes do not require any channel estimation, which results in low complexity. In this treatise we derive the soft-output probability formulas required for a soft-decision based demodulation of high-order DAPSK, in order to facilitate iterative detection by exchanging extrinsic information with an outer turbo Code (TC). Furthermore, when the TC block size is increased, the system operates closer to the channel capacity. Compared to the identical-throughput TC assisted 64-ary Differential Phase-Shift Keying (64-DPSK) scheme, the 4-ring based TC assisted 64-ary DAPSK arrangement has a power-efficiency improvement of 2.3 dB at a bit error rate (BER) of 10(-5). Furthermore, when the TC block size is increased, the system operates closer to the channel capacity. More specifically, when using a TC block length of 400 modulated symbols, the 64 DAPSK (4, 16) scheme is 7.56 dB away from its capacity curve, while it had a reduced gap as low as 2.25 dB, when using a longer TC block length of 40 000 modulated symbols. Finally, as a novel application example, the soft-decision M-DAPSK scheme was incorporated into an Amplify-and-Forward (AF) based cooperative communication system, which attains another 4.5 dB SNR improvement for a TC block length of 40 000 modulated symbols.

In this paper, full-rate and complex orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) schemes for multiple antennas are proposed, and turbo code is employed as channel coding to improve the proposed STBC schemes performance further. Compared with full-diversity multiple antennas STBC schemes, the proposed schemes can implement full data rate, partial diversity and a smaller complexity. On the condition of the same system throughput and concatenation of turbo code, the proposed schemes have lower bit error rate (BER) than those low-rate and full-diversity code schemes.

Protecting short data frames by turbo coding is a challenging task because of the small interleaver size and the need for transmission efficiency. In this letter, turbo-decoding-metrics aided short cyclic redundancy check codes are applied to novel tailbiting encoded trellis codes with a twofold purpose: to stop the iterative decoding processes to achieve low-power design and to reduce fractional coding-rate loss. Significant coding gains can be achieved by actually increasing the transmission rate with a negligible increase in power consumption. Performance improvement is demonstrated over additive white Gaussian noise channels. The savings is up to 21.4% for the transmission throughput and 21.5% for the energy consumption of the turbo decoder when frame size 49 is used.

In MIMO systems, soft iterative detection and decoding can produce the near capacity performance. One of the promising detection techniques known as sphere decoder can play an important role in order to meet the requirements of achieving near optimal performance. The single tree search (STS) is based on the sphere decoding which can produce near optimal performance in iterative detection and decoding. The main hindering in STS method is that it is computationally complex. The complexity increases as we increase the iterations. In this paper, we propose to reduce complexity of the STS method by limiting the candidates of calculating soft information to those bits whose a priori information provided by turbo decoder is less reliable. Simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the complexity with negligible performance degradation compared to the conventional full search and STS methods.

This paper presents a channel estimation and tracking method for correlated block-fading channels in massive MIMO wireless cellular systems. In order to conserve resources, the proposed algorithm requires the uplink pilot signal only once, at the start of communication. By utilizing the temporal correlation between consecutive Resource Blocks (RBs) and the error correction capability of turbo codes, the channel matrix in subsequent RBs is estimated at the Base Station (BS) itself using the uplink data of current the RB and the estimated channel matrix of previous the RB. Compared to existing blind estimation methods, the proposed method places fewer limitations on the system settings such as the number of BS antennas, the number of users, and the number of coherent channel usage compared to existing blind estimation methods. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides better performance for a moderate RB size, a high-order of QAM scheme, and a smaller ratio of the number of BS antennas and mobile terminals (N/K). For a reasonably small N/K (order of 10), the proposed scheme achieves a lower symbol error probability than the conventional pilot-based estimation approach.

This letter proposes a method to retrieve the original image X out of multiple sets of SI (Side Information) in distributed video coding (DVC). Using turbo decoding methods, the most reliable segments from the decoded Y-i's were selected for the composition of whose conditional entropy H(X vertical bar Y-infinity) became much lower than any individual conditional entropy H(X vertical bar Y-i). This proposal has improved the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) by 1.1 to 1.8 dB, compared to the conventional single SI-based approach.
