UFMC-MIMO系统中一种干扰消除算法

通用滤波多载波(UFMC)作为5G最具潜力的候选波形之一,它的优势在于比正交频分复用(OFDM)具有更低的带外泄露,且发送时不需要添加循环前缀(CP),还能与多输入多输出(MIMO)系统良好地兼容。然而现有对UFMC的研究多数停留在单输入单输出(SISO)系统,已不能满足5G及未来通信系统的需要,因此对UFMC-MIMO系统的研究具有重要意义。本文提出一种利用Walsh码设计的特殊训练结构对UFMC-MIMO系统进行定时同步的算法,首先对各信道进行定时同步,再对经过定时同步后的信号作频偏估计得到各发送天线与接收天线的频偏估计值,最后在时域对信号进行频偏补偿,从而达到降低或消除定时频偏对信号传输的影响。本文基于2×2的UFMC-MIMO系统进行仿真,结果表明该算法能够有效降低信号误符号率和显著提升系统的抗干扰性能。     

Symbol Timing Synchronization Using Interpolation-Based Matched-Filters

This paper presents a symbol timing synchronization method by interpolating the discrete impulse response of matched-filter, in which the group delay of matched-filter is adjusted by different interpolation step to achieve symbol timing synchronization. The proposed method is of much less complexity than the conventional polyphase filterbank method that could be viewed as a special case of interpolated matched-filters. The interpolated matched-filters are used in a loop, and the loop is simulated at 2 samples/symbol, the simulation results show that the proposed method can provide precise symbol timing synchronization with less complexity.

A digitally programmable delay element: design and analysis

Variable delay elements are often used to manipulate the rising or falling edges of the clock or any other signal in integrated circuits (ICs). Delay elements are also used in delay locked loops (DLLs). Although, a few types of digitally controlled delay elements have been proposed, an analytical expression for the delay of these circuits has not been reported. In this paper, we propose a new delay element architecture and develop an analytical equation for the output voltage and an empirical relation for the delay of the circuit. The proposed circuit exhibits improved delay characteristics over previously reported digitally controlled delay elements.     

A performance lower bound for quadratic timing recovery accounting for the symbol transition density

The symbol transition density in a digitally modulated signal affects the performance of practical synchronization schemes designed for timing recovery. This paper focuses on the derivation of simple performance limits for the estimation of the time delay of a noisy linearly modulated signal in the presence of various degrees of symbol correlation produced by the various transition densities in the symbol streams. The paper develops high- and low-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) approximations of the so-called (Gaussian) unconditional Crame/spl acute/r-Rao bound (UCRB), as well as general expressions that are applicable in all ranges of SNR. The derived bounds are valid only for the class of quadratic, non-data-aided (NDA) timing recovery schemes. To illustrate the validity of the derived bounds, they are compared with the actual performance achieved by some well-known quadratic NDA timing recovery schemes. The impact of the symbol transition density on the classical threshold effect present in NDA timing recovery schemes is also analyzed. Previous work on performance bounds for timing recovery from various authors is generalized and unified in this contribution.     

Symbol synchronization using signal samples and interpolation

A method for symbol synchronization using two unsynchronized signal samples per symbol is presented. Signal values between the sample points are calculated by interpolation and then processed digitally to find a suitable strobe point. The interpolated value at the strobe point is used for data detection or input to an equalizer. Simulations show that low variance timing estimates can be made for pulses with raised-cosine spectra degraded by quadratic delay distortion     

Performance evaluation of a new BPSK-OFDM timing estimation algorithm

Previously, the timing estimation in OFDM system employs cyclic prefix has been presented with the assumption of independent identified distributed OFDM symbol. The information used to find the symbol synchronization depends on the length of cyclic prefix. Actually, the data in the BPSK-OFDM modulated symbol, transferred by inverse fast Fourier transform, is with a complex symmetry character. With this character, more information from the whole OFDM symbol could be provided for the symbol timing. In this paper, the proposed algorithm uses the autocorrelation of the received signal to obtain the symbol timing. The simulation of Beek’s algorithm and the proposed scheme are presented. The performances of these algorithms are evaluated based on the missing symbol probability and the estimator mean square error. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable to achieve a better symbol synchronization.

For the carrier recovery and for the symbol timing recovery subsystems, a parallel processing of the received modulated signal is employed. Theoretically it is shown that the optimum delay is2/f_{c}and notT/2as published in the literature, where fcandTare the carrier frequency and the symbol interval, respectively. This technique has the advantage over the currently employed serial processing technique in faster acquisition of symbol timing and with it in faster overall system synchronization. Experimental verification of theoretical results is presented and applications in satellite and terrestrial microwave communication systems are discussed.     

A novel timing synchronization for CO-OFDM systems using CAZAC sequences

A novel symbol timing synchronization algorithm based on constant amplitude zero auto correlation (CAZAC) sequences is proposed for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. The training symbol of the proposed algorithm is comprised of four different parts, utilizing even symmetry property of each part to accomplish timing synchronization. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by means of simulations in OFDM and CO-OFDM systems. The proposed algorithm is shown to eliminate the timing sidelobes of Park’s algorithm and has a more accurate timing estimation. In the condition of chromatic dispersion (CD), the timing metric of the proposed method still maintains its peak value at the correct timing point, while the values are almost 0 at all the other positions. Meanwhile, the timing mean square error (MSE) of the proposed algorithm remains around 10-6.
