Performance of cofdm for satellite digital audio broadcasting

This paper analyses the performance of a coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) based system for digital audio broadcasting using a highly inclined orbit satellite constellation. The sources of performance degradation considered are non-linear amplification in the satellite transponder and multipath propagation for mobile reception. Despite its strong peak-to-mean amplitude variation, COFDM has been found to be very robust against non-linear amplification. In the multipath channel, practical cases demonstrate low performance losses even in highly populated areas when highly inclined elliptical orbits (HEO) are used.

Channel Estimation by Using Short Training Sequences in CDMA Systems

Multiuser detection techniques are known to be effective to counter the presence of multiuser interference in code division multiple access channels. Multiuser detectors can provide excellent performance only when the channel impulse responses of all the users are precisely known. Hence, channel estimation becomes a challenging issue in mobile communication systems. In this paper, we address the problem of efficient maximum likelihood mobile radio channel estimation at high channel efficiency that requires a short training sequence along with the known spreading sequence. The proposed system can be employed in both the uplink and downlink of a heavily loaded multiuser CDMA system. The extension of the approach with unknown users' delays are also proposed. We present results that show the success of this method in recovering the transmitted bits with a relatively small number of preamble bits.

Adaptive blind receivers for MC‐CDMA communication systems

In this paper, we propose three adaptive blind algorithms for multiuser multicarrier code division multiple‐access systems in multipath fading channels. The proposed adaptive blind receivers are based on the property of the discreteness of the input data symbol and are updated in every symbol interval. We also use the concept that the variance of the output signal approaches to the variance of the desired signal to get the cost function. The three proposed receiver structures are the traditional finite impulse response (FIR) structure, the despreading (DES) filter structure and the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure. The advantage of the FIR filter is that the length of the filter weights does not have to be the same length as the spreading code. For the DES filter, the combination of the adaptive weight and the despreading code has the simplest structure than the other two proposed receiver structures. The constrained GSC filter is superior to the other two proposed receiver structures in the environments dominated by multiple‐access interference. By this constraint, the blind GSC filter can guarantee to converge to the desired solution. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness and comparison of the proposed adaptive blind receivers. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Training Sequence Aided Signature Waveform Estimation

In code division multiple access channels multiuser detection techniques are known to be effective strategies to counter the presence of multiuser interference towards improving spectral efficiency. Generally, multiuser detectors can provide excellent performance only when the signature waveforms of all users are precisely known. Hence, the estimation of signature waveforms is a challenging issue in mobile communication systems. In this paper, we compare the performance of two short training sequence aided signature waveform estimators. One is maximum likelihood type signature waveform estimator that requires the knowledge of spreading sequences and short training sequences. The other estimator is recently proposed based on subspace method and requires the knowledge of training sequences only. Through the simulations, we show the signature waveform estimation performance of both systems and the effect of the estimation error on the performance of a multiuser detector. The complexity comparisons of both systems are also given. We use the term “signature waveform” to refer to the convolution of the channel and the spreading code throughout the paper.

Implementation of the Decorrelating Receiver for Asynchronous DS-CDMA Systems over Multipath Fading Channels

This paper presents a decorrelating detector for DS-CDMAasynchronous systems over multipath fading channels. The decorrelatingreceiver applies the inverse correlation matrix of signature waveformsto detect the received signal. A procedure for finding such an inversematrix is developed. This procedure employs the reciprocal basis,derived from the basis of normalized user signatures, to cancelsimultaneously both the multiuser and the intersymbolinterference. The proposed multiuser detector operates over a finitedetection window, and the only restriction imposed on the set of signaturesis that the signatures must be independent at the receiver end. If the channelis slowly variant, the detectorcan be very efficient for high bit rate transmissions. Theoreticalbounds for the multiuser interference are obtained. Simulationresults, in which both binary and non-binary sequences are used,reveal that the behaviour of the detector approaches the single userbound when an adequate set of signatures is employed. The reducedcomplexity of this detector indicates that it could be a good candidatefor practical implementation.     

Differentially Coherent Blind Adaptive Receiver for Rayleigh Fading CDMA Channels

Interest in code division multiple access (CDMA) has increased dramaticallyin boththe industry and academia. This is due to the potential increase in usercapacity andinterference, multipath fading, and jam-resistant capabilities. Differentapproaches ofmultiuser detection schemes have shown improvement over the conventionalreceiver.However, multiuser detectors require system parameters and adaptive multiuserreceivers require training sequences. These parameters are difficult toobtain inmultipath fading channels with a degradation in performance. A blind adaptivemultiuser receiver for flat fading and frequency-selective fading environments isstudied in this paper. This receiver alleviates the problem of multiuser detectors and adaptivemultiuser receivers by using a blind adaptive equalization method. The structure of the receiveris similar to that of the adaptive MMSE receiver which consists of an adaptive equalizer and an adaptivemechanism that uses a standard least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm, but uses a matched filterto generate a reference signal. The receiver is shown to be effective in different fadingchannels with perfect power control and a near-far effect. Furthermore, the simulationresults show that the blind MMSE receiver outperforms the conventional receiver and theRAKE receiver.

A multipath interference cancellation technique for WCDMA downlink receivers

In this paper, we present a simple interference cancellation technique for the downlink of wideband code‐division multiple‐access (WCDMA) systems in multipath environment. With the same knowledge required by a RAKE receiver, the present method acts as an equalizer and cancels the interfering multipath signals from the received signal to retrieve the orthogonality property of the received signal. The present receiver has a simple structure and it has significant performance gain against the RAKE receiver. In addition, the noise enhancement is negligible when there is a line of sight path or the channel power delay profile has an exponential decaying form. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Characterization of the aeronautical satellite navigation channel through high‐resolution measurement and physical optics simulation

In this paper we discuss the results of a measurement campaign investigating the environment of satellite navigation receivers for aeronautical applications, where reflections on the plane as well as from the ground decrease the accuracy of the positioning. The focus is on the most critical flight phase—the final approach. For this scenario a wideband model is derived, which allows to investigate the performance of present and future global navigation satellite systems. The work was carried out under an European Space Agency contract (ESTEC Contract number 16059/02/NL/DS) entitled ‘Navigation signal measurement campaign for critical environments’, by Joanneum Research (Austria) with subcontracts to DLR (Germany) and the University of Vigo (Spain).
