Performance Analysis for the Expanding Search PN Acquisition Algorithm

An approach is presented for approximating the cumulative probability distribution of the acquisition time of the serial PN search algorithm. The results are applicable to variable as well as fixed dwell time systems. The theory is developed for the case where some a priori information on the PN code epoch is available (reacquisition problem or acquisition of very long codes). The special case of a search over the whole code is also treated. The accuracy of the approximation is demonstrated by comparing with published exact results for the fixed dwell time algorithm.

Application of Adaptive Filtering to Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum Code Acquisition

A novel hybrid scheme utilizing an adaptive FIR filter is proposed for acquisition of DS-SS signals. Timing information on the delay offset between the incoming DS-SS signal and the locally generated replica of the spreading code is extracted from the tap-weight vector of the acquisition adaptive filter. Expressions for the mean acquisition time, detection, and false alarm probabilities for a coherent, chip synchronous DS-SS system in AWGN are derived. The improvement in acquisition performance over serial search techniques is twice the length of the adaptive filter. This is similar to that gained by other hybrid schemes that search the same number of cells at a time. However, a significant reduction in hardware complexity is obtained. The proposed system is also compared to a system utilizing a partial matched filter structure. Moreover, the same hardware could be used for code tracking and, hence, eliminating the need for a separate tracking loop.

Generalized Window-Based PN Acquisition Scheme in CDMA Spread Spectrum Systems

Abstract?In this letter, we propose a generalized version of the window-based pseudonoise (PN) acquisition scheme verifying one or more best hypotheses rather than the best one per search window. The false alarm probability, detection probability, and mean acquisition time (MAT) of the proposed scheme are derived by using the well-known flow graph approach in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels. Numerical results demonstrate that the acquisition performances are improved through the proposed generalization, particularly when the pilot energy to total received energy ratio (pilot Ec/Io) is low.     

Performance Analysis for General PN-Spread-Spectrum Acquisition Techniques

This paper presents a unified approach for computing the probability density function (pdf) of the acquisition time for pseudonoise (PN) search algorithms. This approach can be applied to arbitrary search strategies and a priori distributions of the code phase. Furthermore, it is shown that the mean and the variance of the acquisition time can be obtained directly without computing the pdf first.     

Noncoherent sequential PN code acquisition using slidingcorrelation for chip-asynchronous direct-sequence spread-spectrumcommunications

Noncoherent sequential pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition using sliding correlation is proposed in this paper. Noncoherent detection and chip asynchronization should be taken care of to handle a severely noisy environment, while frequency offset and data modulation effects can be simultaneously dealt with in the proposed technique. To realize sequential detection, the cross-correlation sequences at the output end of the integrate/dump (LID) filter under out-of-lock conditions have to be modeled as either a Gaussian random sequence for chip-asynchronous applications or as their upper bound for chip-synchronous applications in order to avoid significantly high probabilities of false alarm caused by the conventional zero-sequence model. Meanwhile, the in-lock sequence also has to be modified by taking the frequency offset and chip-asynchronization effects into account in order to avoid the occurrence of high probabilities of miss. Extensive computer simulation results indicate that the proposed technique can achieve low probabilities of false alarm and miss and can outperform its fixed-sample-size (FSS) counterparts by roughly 2~4 dB. This superiority, furthermore, increases with decreasing SNRs and/or decreasing desired error probabilities     

Performance analysis of a double-dwell serial search technique forcellular CDMA networks in the case of multiple pilot signals

The performance of a double-dwell serial search technique is analyzed for cellular code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks in the case of multiple pilot signals. A general expression for the mean acquisition time is obtained by considering the multiple H₁ regions formed by the pilot signals coming from different base stations. The statistics of the demodulator output in code acquisition systems are discussed in detail for synchronous cellular CDMA networks with a focus on the nonstationarity of the interference in the forward link. The probabilities of detection and false alarm are then derived for frequency-selective Rayleigh fading environments in the case where the interference can be approximated by a stationary Gaussian noise process. Numerical evaluations are performed to examine the effects of decision thresholds, postdetection integration, fading rate, and so on, with emphasis on the case where the mobile station is located around the cell boundary     

Adaptive acquisition of PN sequences for DSSS communications

Since the received signal levels in mobile communications are unknown and the location is varying, acquisition schemes for pseudonoise (PN) sequences with fixed thresholds cannot provide satisfactory performance. This fixed-threshold scheme may cause too many false alarms or result in a low detection probability for a selected threshold value. We present an adaptive acquisition scheme for PN sequences which estimate the background power level, multiply it with a threshold coefficient to keep the false alarms constant, and use it as a threshold

低信噪比下超长PN码的快速捕获技术

直扩系统中,为了硬件实现上的简便,PN码的捕获一般都采用串行搜索的方法。但当PN码很长时,由于要搜索的相位点很多,串行搜索法将使捕获时间过长。并且当信噪比较低时,会有较高的虚警概率。这些都会使系统的捕获性能下降。文献[6]针对长码提出了分布采样的快速捕获方案(DSA)。本文就此提出了改进,利用积累使之能够适应低达-50dB的低信噪比环境。仿真结果表明,改进后的算法改善了原算法在极低信噪比下的性能,降低了平均捕获时间。     

Selection diversity combining with multiple antennas for MM-waveindoor wireless channels

Presents predetection and postdetection combining schemes for selection diversity reception with multiple antennas for MM-wave indoor radio channels. For those combining schemes, a reduction in complexity is achieved by limiting the number of combined signals to small values and by increasing the number of received signals. Bit error rate (BER) performance of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) with predetection combining of selected signals (CSS) and BER performance of differential BPSK with postdetection CSS are analyzed for slow fading and Rayleigh-distributed envelope statistics. Predetection maximal ratio combining of signals that comes from a single group or several groups of diversity channels as well as postdetection combining of received signals for groups of channels are considered. In comparing predetection combining with groups (PCG) and predetection combining of the best signals (PCB), we observe that the required SNR for achieving a certain BER is approximatively the same (with PCG having a slight advantage of 0.5 dB) for a given number, N, of diversity channels and L combined signals. Furthermore. PCG is equivalent to PCB for L=N since both techniques then correspond to conventional predetection maximal ratio combining (MRC), PCG and PCB are also equivalent when L=1 as both schemes then correspond to conventional selection combining. A small degradation of approximately 2 dB in the required SNR is observed when postdetection diversity reception with groups (PDG) is used instead of PCG. For L=N, PDG reduces to post detection MRC. The PDG technique is considered more suitable than PCB or PCG for MM-indoor wireless systems

Spread Spectrum PN Code Acquisition Using Hybrid Correlator Architectures

A hybrid correlator architecture is described which combines the serial structure of an active correlator with the parallel structure of a matched filter correlator. The mean PN code acquisition time performance of this hybrid serial-parallel correlator structure is analysed. Results are shown which compare the acquisition performance of the serial, parallel, and serial-parallel structures. The results are for a PN code length of 64 code chips and assumes a Gaussian channel with the receiver detection threshold set to obtain a constant false alarm rate. An enhancement to the serial-parallel acquisition algorithm is also described which can increase the acquisition time performance by about 15% for typical operating conditions. Overall the results demonstrate that the hybrid correlator can provide rapid code acquisition with a limited receiver complexity.
