针对现有正交时频空(OTFS)调制系统的信道估计中存在的高峰均比和小数倍多普勒信道下估计困难及复杂度高的问题,提出了一种基于序列导频的匹配滤波(SMF)信道估计方法。该算法首先将序列导频与数据联合成帧,依靠序列的自相关性获取路径数、时延和整数倍多普勒;然后通过互相关匹配滤波估计小数倍的多普勒抽头和信道增益,从而得到信道状态信息;最后根据小数倍信道整数采样的特征,更新信道增益和信道初始相位。仿真结果表明,该方法相比基于嵌入式脉冲导频的信道估计,改善了峰均比,并提高了信道估计性能。相比于传统的序列导频,该方法可以估计得到小数倍多普勒抽头,估计的信道状态信息更准确。该信道估计方法更具有普遍性。

Sensor scheduling over a packet-delaying network

We consider sensor scheduling for state estimation of a scalar system over a packet-delaying network. The current measurement data can be sent over a delay-free channel if the sensor uses larger communication energy; the data will be delayed for one time step if the sensor uses less communication energy. We consider a cost function consisting of a weighted average estimation error and a weighted terminal estimation error and explicitly construct optimal power schedules to minimize this cost function subject to communication energy constraint. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the key ideas of the paper.     

An underwater acoustic direct sequence spread spectrum communication system using dual spread spectrum code

With the goal of achieving high stability and reliability to support underwater point-to-point communications and code division multiple access (CDMA) based underwater networks, a direct sequence spread spectrum based underwater acoustic communication system using dual spread spectrum code is proposed. To solve the contradictions between the information data rate and the accuracy of Doppler estimation, channel estimation, and frame synchronization, a data frame structure based on dual spread spectrum code is designed. A long spread spectrum code is used as the training sequence, which can be used for data frame detection and synchronization, Doppler estimation, and channel estimation. A short spread spectrum code is used to modulate the effective information data. A delay cross-correlation algorithm is used for Doppler estimation, and a correlation algorithm is used for channel estimation. For underwater networking, each user is assigned a different pair of spread spectrum codes. Simulation results show that the system has a good anti-multipath, anti-interference, and anti-Doppler performance, the bit error rate can be smaller than 10^?6 when the signal-to-noise ratio is larger than ?10 dB, the data rate can be as high as 355 bits/s, and the system can be used in the downlink of CDMA based networks.     

Adaptive rate coding using convolutional codes for asynchronous code division multiple access communications over slowly fading channels

This paper presents a method of code rate adaptation using punctured convolutional codes for direct sequence spread spectrum communication systems over slowly fading channels. A blind channel estimation technique is used to estimate the nature of the multi-user channel at the detector (before the decoder). The path gains obtained from the channel estimation technique are used to adapt the code rates. Punctured codes derived from a specific rate 1/2 (M = 4) mother code are used to provide error protection corresponding to the actual channel state. The upper and lower bounds on the bit error probability and the upper bound on the error event probability are derived for hard-decision and soft-decision decoding over Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. The throughput gains obtained using the adaptive scheme and the performances of the punctured codes are studied.

Stabilization conditions involving the size of coding alphabet, the sampling period, system state growth rate and data packet dropout rate are obtained. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the design procedures and effectiveness of the proposed results.

Optimal linear estimation for networked systems with communication constraints

This paper is concerned with the optimal linear estimation problem for discrete time-varying networked systems with communication constraints. The communication constraint considered is that only one network node is allowed to gain access to a shared communication channel, then the various network nodes of the networked systems are scheduled to transmit data according to a specified media access control protocol, and a remote estimator performs the estimation task with only partially available measurements. The channel accessing processes of those network nodes are modeled by Bernoulli processes, and optimal linear filters are designed by using the orthogonal projection principle and the innovation analysis approach. It is shown that the optimal estimation performances critically depend on the channel accessing probabilities of the network nodes and the packet loss probability, and the optimal filters can be obtained by solving recursive Lyapunov and Riccati equations. An illustrative example is finally given to show the effectiveness of the proposed filters.

It can support reliable communication with superiorities of nuclear survivability, less susceptibility to jamming, low probability of interception and more rapid blackout recovery when compared to HF or satellite systems for civil and military applications[1,2]. Due to the nature of meteor channel, MBC transmits messages in an intermittent manner, so its acceptance is hampered by the channel’s low t…

State estimation for networked control systems using fixed data rates

This paper investigates state estimation for linear time-invariant systems where sensors and controllers are geographically separated and connected via a bandwidth-limited and errorless communication channel with the fixed data rate. All plant states are quantised, coded and converted together into a codeword in our quantisation and coding scheme. We present necessary and sufficient conditions on the fixed data rate for observability of such systems, and further develop the data-rate theorem. It is shown in our results that there exists a quantisation and coding scheme to ensure observability of the system if the fixed data rate is larger than the lower bound given, which is less conservative than the one in the literature. Furthermore, we also examine the role that the disturbances have on the state estimation problem in the case with data-rate limitations. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A chaotic communication system of improved performance based on the Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman filter

The Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filter is used for developing a communication system that is based on a chaotic modulator such as the Duffing system. In the transmitter’s side, the source of information undergoes modulation (encryption) in which a chaotic signal generated by the Duffing system is the carrier. The modulated signal is transmitted through a communication channel and at the receiver’s side demodulation takes place, after exploiting the estimation provided about the state vector of the chaotic oscillator by the Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filter. Evaluation tests confirm that the proposed filtering method has improved performance over the Extended Kalman Filter and reduces significantly the rate of transmission errors. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed Derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filter can work within a dual Kalman Filtering scheme, for performing simultaneously transmitter–receiver synchronisation and estimation of unknown coefficients of the communication channel.     

Subspace system identification for training-based MIMO channel estimation

The application of state-space-based subspace system identification methods to training-based estimation for quasi-static multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) frequency-selective channels is explored with the motivation for better model approximation performance. A modification of the traditional subspace methods is derived to suit the non-contiguous nature of training data in mobile communication systems. To track the time variation of the channel, a new recursive subspace-based channel estimation is proposed and demonstrated in simulation with practical MIMO channel models. The comparison between the state-space-based channel estimation algorithm and the FIR-based Recursive Least Squares algorithm shows the former is a more robust modeling approach than the latter.
