Ultra-wide band (UWB) communication is one of the most promising technology for high data rate networks over short-range communication.
The ultra-wide bandwidth offers pulses with very short duration that provides frequency diversity and multipath resolution.
Ultra-wide band (UWB) channels raise new effects in the receiver, the amplitude fading statistics being different compared
to the conventional narrow band wireless channels. This review paper focuses on modeling of ultra-wide band channels, especially
for simulation of personal area networks and also discusses the benefits, application potential and technical challenges in
wideband communication. The concept of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has recently been applied in wireless
communication systems due to its high data rate transmission capability with high bandwidth efficiency and its robustness
to multi-path delay. UWB OFDM communication was proposed for physical layer in the IEEE 802.15.3a standard which covers wideband
communication in wireless personal area networks. Since the channel model for multicarrier UWB communication is different
from that of plain ultra-wide band channel, a novel modification method in UWB channel model is proposed with specific center
frequency and multipath resolution. Moreover, dynamic channel estimation is necessary before demodulation of UWB OFDM signals
since the radio channel is time varying and frequency selective for wideband systems. The performance of the proposed method
is statistically analyzed using LS and MMSE based channel estimation methods. 相似文献

This paper presents a highly accurate frequency offset estimation algorithm for multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(MB-OFDM) systems effective for realistic ultra-wideband (UWB) environment. The proposed algorithm derives its estimates based
on phase differences in the received subcarrier signals of several successive OFDM symbols in the preamble. We consider different
carrier frequency offsets and different channel responses in different bands to keep the analysis and simulation compatible
for practical multi-band UWB scenario. Performance of the proposed algorithm is studied by means of bit error rate (BER) performance
of MB-OFDM system. In order to compare the variance of the synchronizer to that of the theoretical optimum, we derive the
Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the estimation error variance and compare it with the simulated error variance both in additive
white Gaussian noise and UWB channel model (CM) environments, CM1–CM4. Next, we modify the estimation algorithm by proposing
a multi-band averaging frequency offset synchronization (MBAFS) scheme. We establish superior BER performance with MBAFS compared
to our first scheme. We calculate modified CRLB for MBAFS and compare it with simulation results for CM1–CM4. Both analysis
and simulation show that MBAFS algorithm can estimate the carrier frequency offset effectively and precisely in UWB fading
channels for MB-OFDM applications. We also analyze the computational complexity of both the proposed algorithms in order to
verify their feasibility of implementation in practical UWB receiver design. 相似文献

针对OFDM系统中难以实时获取时变信道统计信息的问题,提出了一种基于期望最大化(EM, expectation maximization)迭代的多符号联合信道估计和数据检测算法。为了获取合适的迭代初始值,利用梳状导频的信息,设计了基于最小二乘算法的低复杂度的初始化方案。通过分析算法中的信道统计量与信噪比的关系,提出了忽略信道自相关矩阵的简化算法,避免了获取信道统计信息的操作。仿真结果表明,提出的算法对信道的功率延迟分布和多普勒功率谱等统计信息不敏感,在未知信道多普勒功率谱的条件下,仍然具有较低的估计误差和误码率。 相似文献

High speed data transmission for wireless communication in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system requires effective channel state information (CSI). CSI should be precisely estimated with low consumption of spectral resources and acceptable computational cost. To realize this goal, an effective compressed sensing (CS) based channel estimation scheme is proposed for sparse channels with large delay spreads, without prior knowledge of channel statistics and noise standard deviation. By fully considering the rank of the measurement matrix, a novel algorithm based on orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) and least squares (LS) methods with a new threshold is proposed for effective channel estimation. Simulation results show that with fewer number of pilots, the proposed method outperforms the compared existing channel estimation methods in a comprehensive way and approaches the optimal channel estimation performance. 相似文献

This paper deals with the problem of estimation of direction of arrivals (DOA) of a multiple ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse postion modulation signals incident on a smart antenna in the presence of white Gaussian noise. We transform the received signal into frequency domain in order to split the array output into multiple frequency channels. Corresponding frequency channels data of the array is arranged into a model similar to narrowband DOA estimation. Iterative quadratic maximum likelihood algorithm is applied to yield DOA estimates. These separate estimates at different frequencies are combined into a single estimate of DOA for each source in an appropriate manner. The performance of the proposed method is studied via extensive computer simulations. It is seen that the technique can successfully resolve the DOA of the closely-spaced UWB signals. 相似文献

An iterative algorithm for joint decoding and channel estimation in frequency-hopping (FH) networks is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, soft decoder outputs are used in the iterative estimation of the time-varying variance of the additive interference resulting from the sum of the thermal noise, partial-band noise jamming, and other-user interference. The soft outputs are also used in the estimation of the independent random carrier phases and multiplicative Rayleigh fading coefficients in different frequency dwells. The estimation process is further enhanced through the insertion of known symbols in the transmitted data stream. The proposed iterative symbol-aided demodulation scheme is compared with the coherent scenario, where the channel state information is assumed to be known a priori at the receiver, for both convolutionally coded and turbo coded FH systems. The proposed iterative channel estimation approach is suited for slow FH systems where the channel dynamics are much slower than the hopping rate. This observation motivates the consideration of another robust approach for generating the log-likelihood ratios for fast hopping systems in additive white Gaussian noise channels. Simulation results that demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed algorithms in various scenarios are also presented 相似文献

The cognitive ultra‐wideband (UWB) network detects interfering narrowband systems and adapts its configuration accordingly. An inherently adaptive and flexible candidate for cognitive UWB transmission is the wavelet packet multicarrier modulation (WPMCM). In this letter, we use an enhanced forward consecutive mean excision thresholding algorithm to tackle the noise uncertainty in the wavelet‐based sensing of WPMCM systems, and mathematical analysis is performed for primary user channel fading. As a benchmark, we compare the proposed system with a conventional fast Fourier transformation‐based system, and performance investigation proves significant improvements when primary and secondary links are subjected to multipath fading and noise. 相似文献

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has been considered to offer an innovative solution for future short-range high-speed wireless
communications. These systems use very low transmission power, spread over a bandwidth of several gigahertz. The very low
transmission power and the large bandwidth used, enable UWB radio systems to co-exist with other narrowband systems over the
same frequency band without interfering the narrowband systems. Nevertheless, these narrowband systems may cause interference
which may jam the UWB receiver completely. Since standard narrowband interference suppression techniques are not applicable,
techniques for interference suppression have to be developed. In this paper, the method of the local polynomial estimator
in time-hopping impulse radio (TH-IR) for UWB communication is considered, which should not estimate any parameter of channel.
And the narrowband interference (NBI) is modeled as a stationary process. Theoretical analysis of this algorithm reveals that
it can eliminate the narrowband interference almost completely and can be computed by simple expression. Moreover, the sampling
rate is very low. 相似文献

We propose a new scheme for pilot-symbol-aided channel estimation in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channels, that does not require knowledge of the channel statistics (e.g., Doppler or power spectrum). It is based on using the radial basis function (RBF) network to model the dynamics of the fading process. Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional RBF networks are proposed to exploit the channel correlation in the time domain and in the time-frequency domain. The proposed RBF networks are essentially nonlinear interpolators of the pilot channels. Compared with the existing OFDM channel estimation methods based on linear filtering, the proposed new techniques offer both robustness to fading rate, and a better performance especially in relatively fast fading channels. 相似文献

Ultra wideband (UWB) systems are expected to coexist with narrowband systems as well as other UWB systems. By estimating the direction of arrival of the multipaths, one would be able to limit the transmission to these directions and limit the interference to other systems. The focussing of subspaces is used to improve the resolution performance in direction of arrival estimation of wideband signals. The focussing matrix is calculated based on initial coarse estimation of DOA. The error in initial estimation results in an irreducible bias in final estimated DOA. By making use of the known pilot signals in Wimedia systems, a new focussing scheme is proposed in this paper that does not require coarse estimation. Computer simulation experiments validating this scheme are also presented. The bias in final estimation is drastically reduced. 相似文献

This paper proposes a new blind channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The algorithm makes use of the redundancy introduced by the cyclic prefix to identify the channel based on a subspace approach. Thus, the proposed method does not require any modification of the transmitter and applies to most existing OFDM systems. Semi-blind procedures taking advantage of training data are also proposed. These can be training symbols or pilot tones, the latter being used for solving the intrinsic indetermination of blind channel estimation. Identifiability results are provided, showing that in the (theoretical) situation where channel zeros are located on subcarriers, the algorithm does not ensure uniqueness of the channel estimation, unless the full noise subspace is considered. Simulations comparing the proposed method with a decision-directed channel estimator finally illustrates the performance of the proposed algorithm 相似文献

In multicarrier communication systems, a time‐domain equalizer (TEQ) can be applied to shorten the channel impulse response and to eliminate inter‐symbol interference (ISI). However, the presence of impulsive noise in the channel may paralyze the operation of TEQs and subsequently lead to poor error performance. In this paper, a multicarrier receiver that incorporates a constant false alarm rate algorithm and an iterative estimation technique (CFAR‐IET) in conjunction with a TEQ is proposed to increase the robustness of the receiver against impulsive noise. Furthermore, an improved version of the CFAR‐IET‐TEQ scheme, which uses the buffering, sorting, removing and amplitude averaging (BSRA) processes, is presented. Performance comparisons of the proposed schemes with the existing Gaussian‐optimized schemes are made. Simulation results show that the BSRA‐IET‐TEQ scheme is an effective approach to reduce symbol error rate (SER) in impulsive channels while performing satisfactorily in Gaussian channels.

Particle filtering (PF) algorithm has the powerful potential for coping with difficult non-linear and non-Gaussian problems. Aiming at non-linear, non-Gaussian and time-varying characteristics of power line channel, a time-varying channel estimation scheme combined PF algorithm with decision feedback method is proposed. In the proposed scheme, firstly the indoor power line channel is measured using the pseudo-noise (PN) correlation method, and a first-order dynamic autoregressive (AR) model is set up to describe the measured channel, then, the channel states are estimated dynamically from the received signals by exploiting the proposed scheme. Meanwhile, due to the complex noise distribution of power line channel, the performance of channel estimation based on the proposed scheme under the Middleton class A impulsive noise environment is analyzed. Comparisons are made with the channel estimation scheme respectively based on least square (LS), Kalman filtering (KF) and the proposed algorithm. Simulation indicates that PF algorithm dealing with this power line channel estimation difficult non-linear and non-Gaussian problems performance is superior to those of LS and KF respectively, so the proposed scheme achieves higher estimation accuracy. Therefore, it is confirmed that PF algorithm has its own unique advantage for power line channel estimation. 相似文献

In the last few years, ultra-wideband (UWB) systems became an appealing technology for wireless communication applications. Unfortunately, when the transmission channel is affected by intersymbol interference (ISI), system performance of UWB systems equipped with receivers based on conventional matched filters presents error-floor phenomena. Aimed by these considerations, in this letter, we present a novel transmit-receive scheme allowing blind channel estimation and minimum mean-square error linear channel equalization. Essentially, the proposed scheme exploits a very short duration of the UWB pulse for achieving reliable blind deconvolution of the received signal. A nice feature of the resulting system is that blind deconvolution of the received signal is achieved without power and throughput losses. Simulation results support the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and show that it is able to gain about 8 dB over current UWB receivers based on matched filtering on several test channels impaired by ISI. 相似文献

This paper evaluates the level of interference caused by different ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to other various radio systems, as well as the performance degradation of UWB systems in the presence of narrowband interference and pulsed jamming. The in-band interference caused by a selection of UWB signals is calculated at GSM900, UMTS/wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA), and Global Position System (GPS) frequency bands as a function of the UWB pulsewidth. Several short-pulse waveforms, based on the Gaussian pulse, can be used to generate UWB transmission. The two UWB system concepts studied here are time hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum. Baseband binary pulse amplitude modulation is used as the data modulation scheme. Proper selection of pulse waveform and pulsewidth allows one to avoid some rejected frequency bands up to a certain limit. However, the pulse shape is also intertwined with the data rate demands. If short-pulses are used in UWB communication the high-pass filtered waveforms are preferred according to the results. The use of long pulses, however, favors the generic Gaussian waveform instead. An UWB system suffers most from narrowband systems if the narrowband interference and the nominal center frequency of the UWB signal overlap. This is proved by bit-error rate simulations in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with interference at global system for mobile communication (GSM) and UMTS/WCDMA frequencies. 相似文献
