This paper presents the RAKE receiver over a multipath fading channel. This interference between the propagation paths in a multipath fading causes a serious degradation in the mobile communication environment. In order to derive the path interference and reduce the fading effect, the RAKE receiver is used. As a result, the RAKE receiver gives a better performance than the DS / SS receiver over a multipath fading channel.

The paper investigates a novel detector receiver with Kalman channel information estimator and iterative channel response equalization for MIMO (multi-input multi-output) OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) communication systems in fast multipath fading environments. The performances of the existing linear equalizers (LE) are not good enough over most fast fading multipath channels. The existing adaptive equalizer with decision feedback structure (ADFE) can improve the performance of LE. But error-propagation effect seriously degrades the system performance of the ADFE, especially when operated in fast multipath fading environments. By considering the Kalman channel impulse response estimation for the fast fading multipath channels based on CE-BEM (complex exponential basis expansion) model, the paper proposes the iterative receiver with soft decision feedback equalization (SDFE) structure in the fast multipath fading environments. The proposed SDFE detector receiver combats the error-propagation effect for fast multipath fading channels and outperform the existing LE and ADFE. We demonstrate several simulations to confirm the ability of the proposed iterative receiver over the existing receivers.

in this paper, we analyzed CDD-DLL code tracking loop for tracking of direct-sequence spread-spectrum signals in a multipath fading channel. The multipath fading channel is modeled as two-ray rayleigh fading channel which is well applicable in a land mobile communication environments. We use trackin jitter variance and mean-time-to-lose-lick as performance measures. From the numerical resutls, it is shown that the effect of multipath fading decreases as SNR/bit increases. Also it is shown that CDD-DLL provides superior jitter performance compared with noncoherent DLL and jitter performance improvement is more significant for a two-ray rayleigh fading channel than an AWGN channel.

This paper presents the CDMA system using the RAKE receiver over a multipath fading channel and in multi-user environments. The interference between the propagation paths in a multipath fading causes a serious degradation in the mobile communication environment. In order to derive the path inteference and reduce the fading effect, the RAKE receiver is used. In a computer simulation, the path number of a fading channel and the branch number of the RAKE receiver are modified. As a result, the CDMA system using the RAKE receiver gives a better performance than the conventional CDMA system over a multipath fading channel and in multi-user environments.

The performance of tau-dither loop (TDL) is evaluated for a direct-sequence spread-spectrum system in a multipath fading channel. The multipath fading channel is modeled as a two-ray rayleight fading channel. The code tracking perfomrance of TDL is analyzed in terms of tracking jitter and mean-tiem-to-lose-lick (MTLL). The tracking jitter performance is degraded while MTLL perfomrance is improved with increasing discriminator offset and decreasing power ratio of main to second paths. It is shown that for a large bit SNR, the effect of multipath fading becomes more significant. And it is also shown that tracking jitter and MTLL performance is less sensitive to delay spacing and discriminator offset for a small bit SNR than for a large bit SNR.

In this paper, the error rate performance of DS/SSMA system in multipath fading channel is calculated by computer simulation. At first, the multipath fading channel is modeled with TDL(Tap Delay Line) model. The characteristics of channels, including multipath fading effects and error pattern, are examined by doppler frequency and signal bandwidth, and time spread variation. Using the multipath fading channel model, the error rateperformance of block code and convolutional code is compared, thus the coding sys- tem is applied to the DS / SSMA system. The BER results of DS / SSMA system show that the proposed receiver gives about 2~3[dB] improve- ment compared with the conventional receiver.

In this paper, it is assumed that a mobile radio channel is a Rayleigh distributed multipath fading channel and Erlang capacity and equivalent channel numbers are calculated for the reverse link of a imperfect power controlled DS/CDMA cellular system considering both shadowing and multipath fading. The DS/CDMA blocking probability is calculated based on a new analysis method that considers Erlang capacity and ICF(interference correction factor) using the median value of $E_{b(i)}$/ $I_{o}$ corresponding to each reverse link user. It is showed that the effect of multipath fading must not be ignored in Erlang capacity of the IS-95 DS/CDMA cellular system and the Erlang capacity is decreased according to the increase of the deviation of the imperfect power control, to the decrease of the processing gain, to the increase of the voice activity.y.

In this paper, performance of COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) which is OFDM with a forward error correction code, is studied in frequency selective fading underwater acoustic communication channel. The OFDM is a multiplexing technique resistant to frequency selective multipath channel. In OFDM, a broadband information signal is transformed into several narrow band signals and transmits narrow band signals whose bandwidths are less than the channel coherence bandwidth. However, its performance is degraded in a specific narrow band signal due to its deep fading by multipath. To mitigate this degradation, COFDM which is OFDM with convolution code as a forward error correction code, is evaluated. The performance of COFDM is found to be better than that of OFDM in multipath channel.

We consider an improved multicarrier(MC) CDMA system that combines both DS-CDMA with a concatenated orthogonal/PN spreading sequence and MC modulation. This system incorporates the advantages of DS-CDMA with a concatenated sequence to achieve large user capacity and MC modulation technique to combat the effects of a multipath fading channel and intersymbol interference(ISI). Considering voice activity and imperfect sectorization, the system performance is analysed for the maximal ratio combiner(MRC) under a multicell, multiuser, and multipath Rayleigh/Rician fading channels. The performance of the system is improved much more for the single path fading channel compared to the multipath fading channel. Also the system is shown to have the more improved average bit error rate(BER) over the orthogonal MC-CDMA with the conventional PN sequence.

This paper proposes an improved multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channel environment. The conventional multi-stage timing offset estimation scheme is very sensitive to the random multipath components. By exploiting the sample standard deviation of the cross-correlation values, the proposed scheme achieves a robustness to the random multipath components. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a higher correct estimation probability and has a better mean square error (MSE) performance than the conventional scheme in multipath fading channels.
