多相分解滤波器在OFDM高速水声通信中的应用

影响OFDM浅海高速水声通信的一个重要的因素是多普勒,多普勒频率会导致OFDM子载波间的正交性被破坏,进而带来OFDM子载波间干扰,严重影响OFDM水声通信的质量,因此必须对如何消除多普勒进行研究。在水声通信中消除多普勒的影响通常分两步：首先对多普勒因子正确估计,进而对接收数据变采样。在仿真实现变采样的基础上,利用多相分解降低其运算量,实现了高速率的变采样滤波器,并将算法运用到OFDM系统仿真中,最终对OFDM湖试数据进行解码,取得了满意的结果,很大程度上降低了多普勒频移对OFDM水声通信系统的影响。     

OFDM水声通信系统的LS-OMP信道估计

对于正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)水声通信系统,最小二乘(Least Squares,LS)信道估计方法受噪声影响较大,并且使用的导频数量较多,影响通信效率。而基于压缩感知理论的正交匹配追踪(Orthogonal Matching Pursuit,OMP)信道估计方法可以充分利用水声信道的稀疏特性,同时能够有效地抑制系统噪声,但控制迭代运算次数的相关参数(稀疏度或误差容忍值)是OMP算法的关键条件。针对上述问题,提出了利用少量导频随机分布的LS和OMP联合的信道估计方法,该方法首先利用少量导频采用LS方法估计出OMP算法的误差容忍值,再利用OMP算法恢复数据子载波的信道信息。理论分析和仿真结果同时表明,与传统的LS算法或OMP算法相比,新算法能够在数据恢复的同时有效抑制系统噪声,应用稀疏特性及较少量的导频,进一步提高了系统的频谱效率,对时变稀疏水声信道具有更好的适应性。

Carrier frequency offset estimation and correction for OFDMA uplink

The paper develops a new method for estimating and correcting the carrier frequency offsets (CFO) of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems at the uplink receiver. Multiple CFO of the different users in the OFDMA system may violate the orthogonality among subcarriers and induce inter-carrier interference (ICI) and inter-user interference (IUI). The IUI provides some extra challenges to CFO estimation not addressed in OFDM systems with only a single CFO. By significantly reducing the IUI, the paper presents an improved CFO estimator which can provide a higher accuracy than the existing approaches. After having estimated the CFO, the author also proposes a new method for CFO correction or compensation at the uplink receiver. Through simulations, it is shown that the new CFO estimator and the correction method outperform the existing approaches.     

Pilot overhead reduction in turbo coded OFDM systems employing an iterative channel estimation under low signal-to-noise ratio environments

The authors evaluate the improved energy and spectral efficiency by pilot overhead reduction of turbo coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems employing an iterative phase estimation algorithm. Developed from the recently proposed iterative phase estimation schemes, the phase estimation and compensation process is embedded into the basic iterative turbo decoding process for the application to OFDM systems with just a slight complexity overhead. At each decoding iteration, sub-carrier phase rotations are estimated from the extrinsic information arranged in each sub-carrier and are compensated for the next decoding iteration. This enables the iterative phase estimation algorithm to successfully work under very low signal-to-noise ratios even without pilot symbols. The pilot symbols are just very rarely inserted only for breaking the erroneous phase estimation propagation frame to frame in case of large residual phase offset beyond reliable decoding range. Simulation results show that the iterative phase estimation algorithm drastically reduces the pilot insertion overhead and thus, it achieves improved spectral efficiency as well as bit error rate (BER) performance by saving pilot energy compared to the conventional method.     

Multi-user interference cancellation technology in the presence of multiple frequency offsets

The performance of multi-user detectors in the presence of multiple frequency offsets under a Rayleigh fading channel environment is analysed, and techniques to estimate and remove multiple frequency offsets (FOs) for successive interference cancellation (SIC) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receivers are also proposed. The closed form expressions derived for bit error rate (BER) of SIC and PIC schemes in the presence of multiple FOs have been verified using extensive simulation results. The PIC is shown to be less sensitive to frequency offsets as compared to SIC. It is demonstrated through analytical and simulation results that the proposed frequency offset estimation and correction techniques provide approximately 8 dB gain in the BER performance over conventional SIC and PIC schemes in the presence of multiple frequency offsets     

Complexity Effective Frequency and Sidelink Synchronization Algorithm for LTE Device-to-Device Communication Systems

Device-to-device (D2D) communication is considered as a major challenge in the long term evolution (LTE) network wherein devices directly communicate with each other. One of the key challenges in D2D sidelink is reliable and reduced-complexity synchronization. To address this issue, a computationally efficient sequential detection scheme for integer carrier frequency offset and sidelink identity is proposed in the LTED2D system. To perform the frequency offset detection without retrieving the sidelink identity, the conjugate relation between two primary sidelink synchronization sequences is exploited, which facilitates the detection tasks of frequency offset and sidelink identity to be decoupled. It is demonstrated from simulation results that the inherent property of the sidelink synchronization sequences is effectively used for joint detection of frequency offset and sidelink identity with significantly reduced complexity, compared to existing estimation schemes.     

基于频域导频时域处理的OFDM系统信道估计算法

针对正交频分复用(OFDM)系统,提出了一种适用于时变信道的信道估计算法。该方法利用频域导频,经离散傅立叶变换(DFT),获得的信道冲击响应等效于利用频域导频对应的时域序列和接收信号进行循环相关获得的信道冲击响应。因此,避免了在时域采用复杂的循环相关运算。同时,通过消除频域导频时域序列的自相关误差,能有效降低由DFT谱泄漏导致的信道估计误差。仿真和分析表明,在时变多径衰落信道下,提出的信道估计方法的性能比传统的基于DFT的算法和频域维纳滤波算法有明显提高。

Low complexity blind estimation of residual carrier offset in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based

The presence of residual carrier frequency offset (CFO) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system leads to a loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers. This introduces inter-subcarrier interference and degrades the system performance significantly. In the literature, Liu and Tureli proposed a blind CFO estimation method based on the observation that in a typical OFDM system not all the subcarriers are used for data transmission. However, the computational complexity of such a method is very high. Based on practical considerations, we propose an approximate closed-form solution for the blind estimation of CFO that is easily implementable at a very low cost. We also propose a successive CFO estimation and compensation procedure, which reduces the performance degradation of the proposed algorithm as compared with the method of Liu and Tureli when relatively large CFO values are assumed. In addition, a decision-directed extension of the successive algorithm, which further improves the CFO estimation at a slightly higher complexity, is also given.     

Maximum a posteriori channel estimation for cooperative diversity orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing systems in amplify-andforward mode

Transmit diversity-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have been proposed to mitigate the detrimental effects of channel fading. However, owing to the space and power limitations, the use of multiple transmit antennas is not practical in certain wireless devices, such as portable terminals and wireless sensors. Therefore cooperation among users at the physical layer has been proposed recently. Here, space-time block coded in amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying mode has been proposed as cooperative diversity for OFDM systems (CO-OFDM) in the presence of perfect channel-state information. Then, the channel estimation techniques for CO-OFDM systems in AF mode based on pilot symbols are investigated over frequency-selective channels. In particular, expectation-maximisation (EM) based maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation is developed and compared with comp-type pilot-aided channel estimation (PACE) based the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator and the least minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) channel estimation techniques for CO-OFDM systems. To overcome the drawback owing to the receiver complexity, the Karhunen-Loeve expansion with the optimal truncation property is also considered. Simulation results that demonstrate the overall performance advantage of the EM-MAP based receiver over the PACE-ML and PACE-LMMSE based receivers are presented.
