In the localized Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) uplink cooperative system, multiple carrier frequency offsets (MCFO), arising from the nodes' separate oscillators and Doppler spreads, drastically degrade the performance of the receiver. To solve the problem, this letter proposes an efficient MCFO compensation method which fully exploits the diversity gain of space frequency block coded (SFBC) and the characteristic of inter-carrier interference (ICI). Moreover, the bit error ratio (BER) lower bound of the proposed algorithm is theoretically derived. Simulation results validate the theoretical analysis and demonstrate that the proposed MCFO compensation method can achieve robust BER performance in a wide range of MCFO in the multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

Relay, which promises to enhance the performance of future communication networks, is one of the most promising techniques for IMT-Advanced systems. In this paper, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay channels based on outdoor measurements are investigated. We focus on the link between the base station (BS) and the relay station (RS) as well as the link between the RS and the mobile station (MS). First of all, the channels were measured employing a real-time channel sounder in IMT-Advanced frequency band (2.35 GHz with 50 MHz bandwidth). Then, the parameters of multipath components (MPCs) are extracted utilizing space-alternating generalized expectation algorithm. MPC parameters of the two links are statistically analyzed and compared. The polarization and spatial statistics are gotten. The trends of power azimuth spectrum (PAS) and cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) with the separation between the RS and the MS are investigated. Based on the PAS, the propagation mechanisms of line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight scenarios are analyzed. Furthermore, an approximate closed-form expression of channel correlation is derived. The impacts of PAS and XPD on the channel correlation are studied. Finally, some guidelines for the antenna configurations of the BS, the RS and the MS are presented. The results reveal the different characteristics of relay channels and provide the basis for the practical deployment of relay systems.

The use of cross-polarized antennas for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems is receiving attention as they are able to double the number of antenna for half antenna spacing needs. This paper presents the channel correlation property of the 3rd Generation Partner Project (3GPP)/3GPP2 spatial channel model (SCM) with the polarization propagation. The statistical average of the per path polarization correlation given random cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) with co-located ideal tilted dipole antennas is derived. The impact on the random behavior of the polarization correlation due to the slant offset angle, the per path angular spread (AS), and the random XPD is analyzed. The simulation results show that the variation of polarization correlation caused by the random XPD is maximized with a 58 slant offset angle under the assumptions of all predefined scenarios in SCM. The per path AS has minor impact on the statistics of the polarization correlations. The randomness of polarization correlation is negligible for an XPD with small standard deviation.

Performance analysis of a dual-hop semi-blind amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system in mixed Nakagami-m and Rician fading channels, is proposed. We derived the closed-form expression for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the equivalent end-to-end signal to noise ratio (SNR), based on which the exact outage probability and symbol error probability (SEP) are investigated. The theoretical analysis is validated by Monte Carlo simulation results.

In order to upgrade the refresh rate about High-Resolution (1280×1024) OLED-on-Silicon (OLEDoS) microdisplay, this paper discusses one compression scan strategy by reducing scan time redundancy. This scan strategy firstly compresses the low-bit gray level scan serial as one unit; second, the scan unit is embedded into the high-bit gray level serial and new scan sequence is generated. Furthermore, micro-display platform is designed to verify the scan strategy performance. The experiment shows that this scan strategy can deal with 144Hz refresh rate, which is obviously faster than the traditional scan strategy.
