Globalization, Electronic Empire, And The Virtual Geography Of Korea’S Information And Telecommunications Infrastructure, Kwang-Suk Lee Feb 2008

Globalization, Electronic Empire, And The Virtual Geography Of Korea’S Information And Telecommunications Infrastructure, Kwang-Suk Lee

Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)

The present study focuses on the electronic infrastructural condition for current global capitalism. This study briefly surveys the genealogy of globalization theories, focusing especially on Marxist interpretations of capital accumulation on a global scale. The study situates the historical- geographical condition of South Korea’s informatization in relation to the new world system which Hardt and Negri have described as ‘empire’, the replacement for classical imperialism. Based on this concept of ‘empire’, the article explores how Korea has been rapidly and successfully incorporated into the imperial network by mobilizing its citizens toward high-speed telecom mobility and connectivity across the country. It …


Low-Complexity Iterative Detection In Multi-User Mimo Isi Channels, Xiaojun Yuan, Qinghua Guo, Li Ping Jan 2008

Low-Complexity Iterative Detection In Multi-User Mimo Isi Channels, Xiaojun Yuan, Qinghua Guo, Li Ping

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

We propose a low-cost detection strategy for multi-user multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with inter-symbol interference (ISI). The cyclic prefix (CP) technique is assumed. The proposed detection algorithm is derived in a very concise manner based on some elegant properties of circulant matrices. We show that multi-user detection and equalization can be carried out jointly and efficiently. © 2007 IEEE.


A Low-Complexity Iterative Channel Estimation And Detection Technique For Doubly Selective Channels, Qinghua Guo, Li Ping Jan 2008

A Low-Complexity Iterative Channel Estimation And Detection Technique For Doubly Selective Channels, Qinghua Guo, Li Ping

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity iterative joint channel estimation, detection and decoding technique for doubly selective channels. The key is a segment-by-segment frequency domain equalization (FDE) strategy under the assumption that channel is approximately static within a short segment. Guard gaps (for cyclic prefixing or zero padding) are not required between adjacent segments, which avoids the power and spectral overheads due to the use of cyclic prefix (CP) in the conventional FDE technique. A low-complexity bi-directional channel estimation algorithm is also developed to exploit correlation information of time-varying channels. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of …
