P-order metric UWB receiver structures with superior performance

The generalized Gaussian probability density function is shown to better approximate the probability density function of the multiple access interference in ultra-wide bandwidth systems than the Gaussian approximation and the Laplacian density approximation. Two ultra-wide bandwidth receiver structures based on this new approximation using a p-order metric receiver decision statistic are investigated for the detection of time-hopping ultra-wide bandwidth wireless signals in multiple access interference channels. The first receiver outperforms both the conventional matched filter ultra-wide bandwidth receiver and the soft-limiting ultra-wide bandwidth receiver when only multiple access interference is present in UWB channels. The second new receiver with adaptive limiting threshold outperforms the conventional matched filter ultra-wide bandwidth receiver, the soft-limiting ultra-wide bandwidth receiver, and the adaptive threshold soft limiting ultra-wide bandwidth receiver in all multiple access interference-plus-noise environments. In multipath channels, a new Rake receiver based on the p-order metric receiver is proposed for signal detection. Mathematical analysis and numerical results show that this new Rake receiver can achieve larger signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio than the standard matched filter Rake receiver when multipath components are resolvable in UWB channels.     

Performance of Jointly Optimized Prefilter-Equalizer Receivers

A linear receiver for digital communication over unknown dispersive and noisy channels obtained by jointly optimizing the prefilter and equalizer has been described by the authors in a recent paper [4]. An extension to incorporating a decision-feedback equalizer is made. Performance of the new receiver is evaluated by means of computer simulation. Comparison of the performance of the new receiver, the matched filter-equalizer receiver, and the fixed low-pass filter-equalizer receiver is made both with respect to convergence rate and error rate. It is conjectured that the new receiver exhibits performance superior to both the matched filter-equalizer receiver and the fixed low-pass filter-equalizer receiver.     

Soft-Limiting Receiver Structures for Time-Hopping UWB in Multiple-Access Interference

A novel receiver structure based on soft-limiting is proposed for detecting a time-hopping ultrawide-bandwidth (UWB) signal in the presence of multiple-access interference (MAI). The proposed structure contains a nonlinear limiter for suppressing the MAI. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver achieves better bit-error-rate performance than the conventional matched receiver when operating in MAI. When operating in an MAI-plus-Gaussian-noise environment, the receiver structure outperforms the conventional matched-filter receiver for moderate to large values of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A receiver structure with adaptive limiting threshold is further proposed to ensure that the performance of the soft-limiting receiver always meets or surpasses the performance of the conventional UWB receiver for all values of SNR. Application of the soft-limiting structure in the fingers of a rake receiver is shown to enhance the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio.

Random Correlation-Based Receiver for Impulse Radio Communications in UWB Channels

Impulse radio is a low-complexity ultra-wideband system which is suitable for highly dispersive multipath channel. In this paper, we propose a random correlation-based receiver for impulse radio communications. The proposed receiver correlates the received pilot symbols with the randomly generated base functions according to channel statistics and forms the detection template by combining several base functions which have larger correlation coefficients with the pilot symbols. The proposed receiver demodulates the received signal by employing a symbol rate sampling. Computer simulation results have shown that the proposed receiver outperforms the conventional correlator-based receiver, compressive sensing correlator-based receiver, weighted energy detector and autocorrelation receiver.
