Performance Prediction of Packet Mobile Communication through Wireless Multipath Fading Channel Modeling

This paper presents a software simulator applicable to multipath fading channels in urban environments of mobile communication networks. The simulator is constructed by a two-state Markov model and several statistical models for simulating the characterizations of different environments. A core idea of the simulator is to construct a Rice distribution-based multipath fading module produced by a modified Gans Doppler power spectrum, and in combination with a Markov model to predict the time-dependent characteristics of packet in different radio circumstances. It can simply predict the packet performance of the future channel and evaluate the relations between the radio channel and the modulation schemes, error control protocols and channel coding. Simulation results demonstrate that it is a reliable and efficient method.

The influence of PRF on BER performance of THSS UWB radio systemwith PPM in dense multipath fading environments

The influence of pulse repetition frequency(PRF) on performance of wireless digital time hopping spread spectrum(THSS) ultrawide bandwidth(UWB) radio systems with PPM in dense multipath fading environments is firstly investigated. The receiver used in this UWB system is a hybrid selection/maximal-ratio combining(H-S/MRC) diversity receiver in which L strongest multipath components out of N multipath diversity branches are selected and combined using maximal-ratio combining. The exact expressions for the bit error rate(BER) of this UWB system are firstly derived by using the virtual branch technique in term of PRF, the number of multipath components selected and combined L, and multipath spread of the channel and then this BER performance is evaluated. With the computer simulation for impulses having different pulse shapes, numerical results show that PRF, as well as pulse shape and the number of multipath diversity branches selected and combined L, has much effect on the BER performance of this UWB system in dense multipath fading environments. As PRF increases, the BER performance of this UWB system is much degraded under the conditions of fixed L and pulse shape.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR LDPC-CODED OFDM SYSTEM IN MULTIPATH FADING CHANNEL

In this paper, the channel estimation techniques for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） systems based on pilot arrangement are studied and we apply Low Density Parity Check （LDPC） codes to the system of IEEE 802.16a with OFDM modulation. First investigated is the influence of channel cstimation schemes on LDPC-code based OFDM system in static and multipath fading channels. According to the different propagation environments in 802.16a system, a dynamic channel estimation scheme is proposed. A good irregular LDPC code is designed with code rate of 1/2 and code length of 1200. Simulation results show that the performance of LDPC coded OFDM system proposed in this paper is better than that of the convolution Turbo coded OFDM system proposed in IEEE standard 802.16a.

Pattern-reconfigurable antenna-assisted secret key generation from multipath fading channels

Physical layer key generation(PKG)technology leverages reciprocal channel randomness to generate shared secret keys.However,multipath fading at the receiver may degrade the correlation between legitimate uplink and downlink channels,resulting in a low key generation rate(KGR).In this paper,we propose a PKG scheme based on the pattern-reconfigurable antenna(PRA)to boost the secret key capacity.First,we propose a reconfigurable intelligent surface(RIS)based PRA architecture with the capability of flexible and reconfigurable antenna patterns.Then,we present the PRA-based PKG protocol to improve the KGR via mitigation of the effects of multipath fading.Specifically,a novel algorithm for estimation of the multipath channel parameters is proposed based on atomic norm minimization.Thereafter,a novel optimization method for the matching reception of multipath signals is formulated based on the improved binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO)algorithm.Finally,simulation results show that the proposed scheme can resist multipath fading and achieve a high KGR compared to existing schemes.Moreover,our findings indicate that the increased degree of freedom of the antenna patterns can significantly increase the secret key capacity.

Performance of Adaptive Subchannel Assignment-Based MIMO/OFDM Systems over Multipath Fading Channels

Adaptive antenna arrays at both the base and mobile stations can further increase system capacity and improve the quality of service of conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems. Conventional adaptive antenna array-based multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO）/OFDM systems use the sub-carriers characterized by the largest eigenvalue to transmit the OFDM symbols. This paper describes the performance of adaptive subchannel assignment-based MIMO/OFDM systems over multipath fading channels, The system adaptively selects the eigenvectors associated with the relatively large subchannel eigenvalues to generate the antenna array weights at the base and mobile stations and then adaptively assigns the corresponding best subchannels to transmit the OFDM symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed system can achieve better performance than the conventional adaptive antenna arraybased MIMO/OFDM system over multipath fading channels.

An enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm for OFDM systems

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication, the system throughput and data rate are usually limited by pilots, especially in a high mobility environment. In this paper, an enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm is proposed to enhance the system throughput and data rate. With lower pilot power, the proposed scheme increases system throughput firstly, and then the channel estimation and symbol detection proceed iteratively within one OFDM symbol to improve the BER performance. In the proposed algorithm, the original channel estimate of each OFDM symbol is based on the channel estimate of the previous OFDM symbol, thus the variation of the mobile channel is traced efficiently, so the number of pilots in the time domain can be reduced greatly. Besides reducing the system overhead, the proposed algorithm is also shown by simulation to give much better BER performance than the conventional iterative algorithm does.

In this scheme, multiple antennas are employed to strengthen the robustness in transmission, and to get more diversity gain. The bit error rate （BER） of the MIMO-CDSK is studied analytically in AWGN channel model and multipath fading channel model. The theory and simulation results show that, the performance gain can be obtained with multiple antennas allocated in the transmitter and receiver. Moreover, it is observed that MIMO-CDSK system can effectively reduce the multipath interference.
