HybridConcatenated Coding Scheme for MIMO Systems
Abstract: Inthis paper, two hybrid concatenated super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes(SOSTTC) applying iterative decoding are proposed for flat fading channels. Theencoding operation is based on the concatenation of convolutional codes,interleaving and super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes. The firstconcatenated scheme consists of a serial concatenation of a parallelconcatenated convolutional code with a SOSTTC while the second consists ofparallel concatenation of two serially concatenated convolutional and SOSTTCcodes. The decoding of these two schemes is described, their pairwise errorprobabilities are derived and the frame error rate (FER) performances areevaluated by computer simulation in Rayleigh fading channels. The proposedtopologies are shown to perform better than existing concatenated schemes with aconstituent code of convolutional andspace-time codes in literature
Separable Implementation of L2-Orthogonal STC CPM with Fast Decoding
In this paper we present an alternative separable implementation of
L2-orthogonal space-time codes (STC) for continuous phase modulation (CPM). In
this approach, we split the STC CPM transmitter into a single conventional CPM
modulator and a correction filter bank. While the CPM modulator is common to
all transmit antennas, the correction filter bank applies different correction
units to each antenna. Thereby desirable code properties as orthogonality and
full diversity are achievable with just a slightly larger bandwidth demand.
This new representation has three main advantages. First, it allows to easily
generalize the orthogonality condition to any arbitrary number of transmit
antennas. Second, for a quite general set of correction functions that we
detail, it can be proved that full diversity is achieved. Third, by separating
the modulation and correction steps inside the receiver, a simpler receiver can
be designed as a bank of data independent inverse correction filters followed
by a single CPM demodulator. Therefore, in this implementation, only one
correlation filter bank for the detection of all transmitted signals is
necessary. The decoding effort grows only linearly with the number of transmit
antennas
Design of a simulation platform to test next generation of terrestrial DVB
Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB) is a member of our daily life
routine, and nonetheless, according to new usersâ necessities in the fields of
communications and leisure, new challenges are coming up. Moreover, the current Standard is not able to satisfy all the potential requirements.
For that reason, first of all, a review of the current Standard has been performed
within this work. Then, it has been identified the needing of developing a new
version of the standard, ready to support enhanced services, as for example
broadcasting transmissions to moving terminals or High Definition Television
(HDTV) transmissions, among others.
The main objective of this project is the design and development of a physical
layer simulator of the whole DVB-T standard, including both the complete transmission and reception procedures. The simulator has been developed in Matlab. A detailed description of the simulator both from a functional and an architectural point of view is included. The simulator is the base for testing any
possible modifications that may be included into the DVB-T2 future standard. In fact, several proposed enhancements have already been carried out and their performance has been evaluated. Specifically, the use of higher order modulation schemes, and the corresponding modifications in all the system
blocks, have been included and evaluated. Furthermore, the simulator will allow
testing other enhancements as the use of more efficient encoders and
interleavers, MIMO technologies, and so on.
A complete set of numerical results showing the performance of the different parts of the system, are presented in order to validate the correctness of the implementation and to evaluate both the current standard performance and the
proposed enhancements.
This work has been performed within the context of a project called FURIA,
which is a strategic research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce. A brief description of this project and its consortium
has been also included herein, together with an introduction to the current situation of the DTTB in Spain (called TDT in Spanish)

Fixed-complexity quantum-assisted multi-user detection for CDMA and SDMA
In a system supporting numerous users the complexity of the optimal Maximum Likelihood Multi-User Detector (ML MUD) becomes excessive. Based on the superimposed constellations of K users, the ML MUD outputs the specific multilevel K-user symbol that minimizes the Euclidean distance with respect to the faded and noise-contaminated received multi-level symbol. Explicitly, the Euclidean distance is considered as the Cost Function (CF). In a system supporting K users employing M-ary modulation, the ML MUD uses MK CF evaluations (CFE) per time slot. In this contribution we propose an Early Stopping-aided Durr-Høyer algorithm-based Quantum-assisted MUD (ES-DHA QMUD) based on two techniques for achieving optimal ML detection at a low complexity. Our solution is also capable of flexibly adjusting the QMUD's performance and complexity trade-off, depending on the computing power available at the base station. We conclude by proposing a general design methodology for the ES-DHA QMUD in the context of both CDMA and SDMA systems
Turbo space-time coding for mimo systems : designs and analyses
Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems can provide high diversity, high data rate or a mix of both, for wireless communications. This dissertation combines both modes and suggests analyses and techniques that advance the state of the art of MIMO systems. Specifically, this dissertation studies turbo space-time coding schemes for MIMO systems.
Before the designs of turbo space-time codes are presented, a fundamental tool to analyze and design turbo coding schemes, the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart method, is extended from the binary/nonbinary code case to coded modulation case. This extension prepares the convergence analysis for turbo space-time code.
Turbo space-time codes with symbols precoded by randomly chosen unitary time variant linear transformations (TVLT) are investigated in this dissertation. It is shown that turbo codes with TVLT achieve full diversity gain and good coding gain with high probability. The probability that these design goals are not met is shown to vanish exponentially with the Hamming distance between codewords (number of different columns). Hence, exhaustive tests of the rank and the determinant criterion are not required. As an additional benefit of the application of TVLT, with the removal of the constant modulation condition, it is proved that throughput rates achieved by these codes are significantly higher than the rates achievable by conventional space-time codes. Finally, an EXIT chart analysis for turbo space-time codes with TVLT is developed, with application to predicting frame error rate (FER) performance without running full simulation.
To increase the data rate of turbo-STC without exponentially increasing the decoding complexity, a multilevel turbo space-time coding scheme with TVLT is proposed. An iterative joint demapping and decoding receiver algorithm is also proposed.
For MIMO systems with a large number of transmit antennas, two types of layered turbo space-time (LTST) coding schemes are studied. For systems with low order modulation, a type of LTST with a vertical encoding structure and a low complexity parallel interference cancellation (PlC) receiver is shown to achieve close to capacity performance. For high order modulation, another type of LTST with a horizontal encoding structure, TVLT, and an ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) receiver is shown to achieve better performance than conventional layered space-time coding schemes, where ordering is not available in the SIC detection
