The antenna diversity based on log-likelihood ratio (LLR) is better than that based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in bit error rate performance for MIMO systems. Thus in this paper, we present a novel transmit antenna selection scheme based on bit log-likelihood ratio when the Alamouti code is employed .Then the BER expressions of application based on Bit-LLR (BLLR) for MPSK and MQAM modulation with Gray code are derived. The simulation results show that the new scheme based on BLLR is superior to SNR. With the increase of the transmit antennas, the performance of system is improved significantly. Furthermore, the diversity order is the same as that of the full complexity systems.

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the potential technologies for fifth generation (5G) cellular networks. This technique can combine with other techniques such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). In NOMA downlink, signals from multiple users are superposed in time-frequency domain. Hence, NOMA systems have a larger throughput than orthogonal multiple access systems. There are several schemes for NOMA detection. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) is commonly used to decode desired signals at the receivers. Some NOMA schemes with SIC are ideal SIC, symbol-level SIC and codeword-level SIC. The previous studies showed that the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) has a performance as ideal SIC. In this paper, we derive the bit error rate for a NOMA downlink system with 2 users (UE) using LLR receiver. This study considers the system over a Rayleigh fading channel and the presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise. The closed-form equations have been proposed for each user with QPSK mapping. The simulation results show that the performance of the system is consistent with the proposed formula

This research was conducted to investigate how frequently Turkish advanced learners of English use the logical connector ‘thus’ in their academic prose and to investigate whether it was overused, underused or misused semantically in comparison to English native speakers. The data were collected from three corpora; Corpus of Contemporary American English and 20 scientific articles of native speakers as control corpora, and 20 scientific articles of Turkish advanced EFL learners. The raw frequencies, frequencies per million words, frequencies per text and log-likelihood ratio were measured so as to compare varieties across the three corpora. The findings revealed that Turkish learners of English showed underuse in the use of the connector ‘thus’ in their academic prose compared to native speakers. Additionally, they did not demonstrate misuse in the use of the connector ‘thus’. Nevertheless, non-native learners of English tended to use this connector in a resultative role (cause-effect relation) more frequently whereas native speakers used it in appositional and summative roles more as well as its resultative role. Furthermore, the most frequent occurrences of ‘thus’ have been in academic genre.
