Outline of Final Research Achievements

A hybrid single-carrier (SC) and multi-carrier (MC) system is proposed for next-generation mobile communication systems, where both high data rate and wide coverage system are attained by appropriately selecting SC or MC signal. The final target of the research project is experimental evaluation of hybrid SC/MC. At first, the scheduling method with terminal positioning information and map information for the hybrid SC/MC is proposed and evaluated by using computer simulation. For experimental evaluation of hybrid SC/MC system, a multimode frequency domain equalizer (FDE) is implemented on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and evaluated bit error rate (BER) performance by using adaptive switching function.
