基于信道估计的SC-FDMA自适应传输方案

由于SC-FDMA的峰均功率比(PAPR)比OFDMA低,因而被应用于3GPP LTE上行链路。论文分析了SC-FDMA传输系统的数学模型,介绍了基于导频的SC-FDMA系统最小二乘(LS)和线性最小均方误差(LMMSE)信道估计算法。在比较该系统集中式和分布式两种子载波映射方式在高低速不同移动环境下传输性能的基础上,提出了一种基于信道估计的SC-FDMA系统自适应传输方案。经仿真证实该方案比单纯采用一种子载波映射的方法性能更加优越,在相同的误码率情况下,能够节省大概3dB左右的信噪比。

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Adaptive Technology for Multinode Users of Seawater Channel Based on Inductively Coupled Mooring Chain

As an important part of buoy-type ocean monitoring systems,the inductively coupled mooring chain solves the problem of data cotransmission through the multinode sensors that it carries,which is significant for the rapid acquisition of fish,hydrology,and other information.This paper is based on a seawater channel transmission model with a depth of 300 m and a bandwidth of 2 MHz.An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)technology is used to overcome the multipath effect of signal transmission on a seawater medium.The adaptive technology is integrated into the OFDM,and an improved joint subcarrier and bit power allocation algorithm is proposed.This algorithm solves the problem of dynamic subcarrier allocation during the cotransmission of underwater multinode user data in seawater channels.The results show that the algorithm complexity can be reduced by 0.18126×10^(-2)s during one complete OFDM system data transmission by the improved greedy algorithm,and a total of 216 bits are transmitted by the OFDM.The normalized channel capacity can be improved by 0.012 bit s^(-1)Hz^(-1).At the bit error ratio(BER)of 10^(-3),the BER performance can be improved by approximately 6 d B.When the numbers of users are 4 and 8,the improved algorithm increases the channel capacity,and the higher the number of users,the more evident the channel capacity improvement effect is.The results of this paper have an important reference value for enhancing the transmission performance of inductively coupled mooring chain underwater multinode data.

Exercise-induced adaptation of neurons in the vertebrate locomotor system

Vertebrate neurons are highly dynamic cells that undergo several alterations in their functioning and physiologies in adaptation to various external stimuli.In particular,how these neurons respond to physical exercise has long been an area of active research.Studies of the vertebrate locomotor system’s adaptability suggest multiple mechanisms are involved in the regulation of neuronal activity and properties during exercise.In this brief review,we highlight recent results and insights from the field with a focus on the following mechanisms:(a)alterations in neuronal excitability during acute exercise;(b)alterations in neuronal excitability after chronic exercise;(c)exercise-induced changes in neuronal membrane properties via modulation of ion channel activity;(d)exercise-enhanced dendritic plasticity;and(e)exercise-induced alterations in neuronal gene expression and protein synthesis.Our hope is to update the community with a cellular and molecular understanding of the recent mechanisms underlying the adaptability of the vertebrate locomotor system in response to both acute and chronic physical exercise.

Resource allocation algorithm in LTE uplink SC-FDMA system for time-varying channel with imperfect channel state information

In long term evolution （LTE） uplink single carrier frequency division multiple access （SC-FDMA） system, the restriction that multiple resource blocks （RBs） allocated to a user should be adjacent, makes the resource allocation problem hard to solve. Moreover, with the practical constraint that perfect channel state information （CSI） cannot be obtained in time-varying channel, the resource allocation problem will become more difficult. In this paper, an efficient resource allocation algorithm is proposed in LTE uplink SC-FDMA system with imperfect CSI assumption. Firstly, the resource allocation problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. Then an efficient algorithm based on discrete stochastic optimization is proposed to solve the problem. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has desirable system performance.

Multiuser subcarriers and bit allocation combining adaptive mapping for SC-FDMA system

In this article, a multiuser single carrier frequency division multiple access （SC-FDMA） system is considered, based on which an adaptive subcarrier and bit allocation algorithm is investigated. The algorithm has been used to achieve a subcarrier mapping mode in this system, which combines the advantages of single- and multi-carrier transmissions, such as, low peak to average power ratio, orthogonality of signals of different users, and low complexity. Simulation results show that it has a similar performance as that of the adaptive allocation algorithm in the orthogonal frequency division multiple （OFDM） system and the proposed mapping mode has a performance gain over the two existing mapping modes at the link level.

CSI Feedback-based CS for Underwater Acoustic Adaptive Modulation OFDM System with Channel Prediction

In this paper, we investigate the performance of adaptive modulation （AM） orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） system in underwater acoustic （UWA） communications. The aim is to solve the problem of large feedback overhead for channel state information （CSI） in every subcarrier. A novel CSI feedback scheme is proposed based on the theory of compressed sensing （CS）. We propose a feedback from the receiver that only feedback the sparse channel parameters. Additionally, prediction of the channel state is proposed every several symbols to realize the AM in practice. We describe a linear channel prediction algorithm which is used in adaptive transmission. This system has been tested in the real underwater acoustic channel. The linear channel prediction makes the AM transmission techniques more feasible for acoustic channel communications. The simulation and experiment show that significant improvements can be obtained both in bit error rate （BER） and throughput in the AM scheme compared with the fixed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying （QPSK） modulation scheme. Moreover, the performance with standard CS outperforms the Discrete Cosine Transform （DCT） method.

An adaptive channel estimation algorithm for the channel length is proposed to construct a channel estimation model suitable for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)underwater acoustic communication signals for the dependence of traditional channel estimation algorithms on channel length information.This algorithm can be adopted to evaluate channel estimation quality in real time and to adaptively adjust the channel length of the channel estimation algorithm according to the evaluation result,which satisfies the need of accurate estimation of unknown underwater acoustic channels and communication application;based on the study on the relationship between the OFDM communication bit error rate and the subcarrier signal to noise ratio,a self-adjusting optimization scheme for OFDM subcarrier transmitting power is proposed,which realizes underwater communication with the low bit error rate through higher energy efficiency.The validity of the research content is verified through simulation and field experiments.

An adaptive joint source and channel coding scheme for H.264 video multicasting over wireless LAN

This paper proposes an adaptive joint source and channel coding scheme for H.264 video multicast over wireless LAN which takes into account the user topology changes and varying channel conditions of multiple users, and dynamically allocates available bandwidth between source coding and channel coding, with the goal to optimize the overall system performance. In particular, source resilience and error correction are considered jointly in the scheme to achieve the optimal performance. And a channel estimation algorithm based on the average packet loss rate and the variance of packet loss rate is proposed also. Two overall performance criteria for video multicast are investigated and experimental results are presented to show the improvement obtained by the scheme.

We explicitly obtain the entanglement fidelities. The recovery operators of the [6,2] code are given. The performance is nearly optimal compared with that of the optimal method of semidefinite programming.

RLS channel estimation with adaptive forgetting factor in space-time coded MIMO-OFDM systems

Considering that channel estimation plays a crucial role in coherent detection, this paper addresses a method of Recursive-least-squares (RLS) channel estimation with adaptive forgetting factor in wireless space-time coded multiple-input and multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. Because there are three different forgetting factor scenarios including adaptive, two-step and conventional ones applied to RLS channel estimation, this paper describes the principle of RLS channel estimation and analyzes the impact of different forgetting factor scenarios on the performances of RLS channel estimation. Simulation results proved that the RLS algorithm with adaptive forgetting factor (RLS-A) outperformed that with two-step forgetting factor (RLS-T) or with conventional forgetting factor (RLS-C) in both estimation accuracy and robustness over the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel, i.e., a wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) and frequency-selective slowly fading channel. Hence, we can employ the RLS-A method by adjusting forgetting factor adaptively to track and estimate channel state parameters successfully in space-time coded MIMO-OFDM systems.

An Adaptive Channel Estimation Technique in MIMO OFDM Systems

In this paper, an adaptive channel estimation for MIMO OFDM is proposed. A set of pilot tones first are placed in each OFDM block, then the channel frequency response of these pilot tones are adaptively estimated by reeursive least squares （RLS） directly in frequency domain not in time domain. Then after the estimation of the channel frequency response of pilot tones, to obtain the channel frequency response of data tones, a new interpolation method based on DFT different from traditional linear interpolation method according to adjacent pilot tones is proposed. Simulation results show good performance of the technique.

Low Complexity Minimum Mean Square Error Channel Estimation for Adaptive Coding and Modulation Systems

Performance of the Adaptive Coding and Modulation(ACM) strongly depends on the retrieved Channel State Information(CSI),which can be obtained using the channel estimation techniques relying on pilot symbol transmission.Earlier analysis of methods of pilot-aided channel estimation for ACM systems were relatively little.In this paper,we investigate the performance of CSI prediction using the Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE)channel estimator for an ACM system.To solve the two problems of MMSE:high computational operations and oversimplified assumption,we then propose the Low-Complexity schemes(LC-MMSE and Recursion LC-MMSE(R-LC-MMSE)).Computational complexity and Mean Square Error(MSE) are presented to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.Both analysis and numerical results show that LC-MMSE performs close to the wellknown MMSE estimator with much lower complexity and R-LC-MMSE improves the application of MMSE estimation to specific circumstances.

New Channel Simulator for Adaptive HF Communication Systems

The high frequency (HF) channel simulators with time-varying parameters based on the Watterson model are analyzed. The methods of simulating the HF channel with time-varying parameters are proposed. The linearly time-varying delay spread is introduced into the channel simulators to simulate the transition states between two channel modes of CCIR520-1. Two signals, including a 500 Hz and a 1 000 Hz bandwidth signal are respectively input into the standard Watterson HF channel model and the proposed channel model with time-varying parameters. Some simulation results prove that the proposed HF channel model with time-varying parameters can reflect the time-varying characteristics of frequency selected fading of HF channel.

Adaptive Bit Loading Scheme with Semi-Blind Channel Estimation for OFDMSystems

An adaptive bit loading and power-allocation scheme is proposed in order to augment the performance of the system based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM）, which is based on the maximum power margin. Coinciding with the adaptive loading scheme, a semi-blind channel estimation algorithm using subspace decomposition method is proposed, which uses the information in the cyclic prefix. An initial channel state information is estimated by using the training sequences with the method of interpolation filtering. The proposed adaptive scheme is simulated on an OFDM wireless local area network（WLAN） system in a time-varying channel. The performance is compared to the constant loading scheme.

Predictive FTF Adaptive Algorithm for Mobile Channels Estimation

The aim of this research paper is to improve the performance of Fast Transversal Filter (FTF) adaptive algorithm used for mobile channel estimation. A multi-ray Jakes mobile channel model with a Doppler frequency shift is used in the simulation. The channel estimator obtains the sampled channel impulse response (SIR) from the predetermined training sequence. The FTF is a computationally efficient implementation of the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm of the conventional Kalman filter. A stabilization FTF is used to overcome the problem caused by the accumulation of roundoff errors, and, in addition, degree-one prediction is incorporated into the algorithm (Predictive FTF) to improve the estimation performance and to track changes of the mobile channel. The efficiency of the algorithm is confirmed by simulation results for slow and fast varying mobile channel. The results show about 5 to 15 dB improvement in the Mean Square Error (Deviation) between the estimated taps and the actual ones depending on the speed of channel time variations. Slow and fast vehicular channels with Doppler frequencies 100 Hz and 222 Hz respectively are used in these tests. The predictive FTF (PFTF) algorithm give a better channel SIR estimation performance than the conventional FTF algorithm, and it involves only a small increase in complexity.

Multi-channel differencing adaptive noise cancellation with multi-kernel method

Although a various of existing techniques are able to improve the performance of detection of the weak interesting sig- nal, how to adaptively and efficiently attenuate the intricate noises especially in the case of no available reference noise signal is still the bottleneck to be overcome. According to the characteristics of sonar arrays, a multi-channel differencing method is presented to provide the prerequisite reference noise. However, the ingre- dient of obtained reference noise is too complicated to be used to effectively reduce the interference noise only using the clas- sical linear cancellation methods. Hence, a novel adaptive noise cancellation method based on the multi-kernel normalized least- mean-square algorithm consisting of weighted linear and Gaussian kernel functions is proposed, which allows to simultaneously con- sider the cancellation of linear and nonlinear components in the reference noise. The simulation results demonstrate that the out- put signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of the novel multi-kernel adaptive filtering method outperforms the conventional linear normalized least-mean-square method and the mono-kernel normalized least- mean-square method using the realistic noise data measured in the lake experiment.

FIXED-POINT BLIND ADAPTIVE MULTIUSER DETECTION ALGORITHM FOR IR UWB SYSTEMS IN MULTIPATH CHANNEL

Using the hypothesis that data transmitted by different users are statistically independent of each other,this paper proposes a fixed-point blind adaptive multiuser detection algorithm for Time-Hopping (TH) Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) systems in multipath channel,which is based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA) idea. The proposed algorithm employs maximizing negentropy criterion to separate the data packets of different users. Then the user characteristic se-quences are utilized to identify the data packet order of the desired user. This algorithm only needs the desired user’s characteristic sequence instead of channel information,power information and time-hoping code of any user. Due to using hypothesis of statistical independence among users,the proposed algorithm has the outstanding Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and the excellent ability of near-far resistance. Simulation results demonstrate that this algorithm has the performance close to that of Maximum-Likelihood (ML) algorithm and is a suboptimum blind adaptive multiuser detection algorithm of excellent near-far resistance and low complexity.

PERFORMANCES OF ADAPTIVE MODULATION AND CODING IN SATELLITE MOBILE CHANNEL

Given that satellite mobile channel is a time-varying channel,Adaptive Modulation and Coding(AMC) was proposed to provide robust and spectrally efficient transmission over satellite mobile channel.Three different kinds of channel environment were considered in this paper:the urban area,the rural area,and the open space.Four combinations of modulation and coding were designed to meet reliable communication on time-varying channel,and spectral efficiency and system throughput of these three kinds of channel environment were simulated.Based on the simulation results,this paper analysed the results and compared the performances of AMC with non-AMC system in these three kinds of channel environment.At last,we come to the conclusions:a system with AMC can achieve higher spectral efficiency and better system throughput;and the spectral efficiency and system throughput of AMC system will be higher on better satellite mobile channel.
