ML-based follower jamming rejection in slow FH/MFSK systems with an antenna array

The jamming robustness of frequency hopping (FH) systems with M-ary frequency shift keying (MFSK) modulation may be potentially neutralized by a follower partial-band jammer. In this paper, a maximum likelihood (ML)-based algorithm that uses a two-element array is proposed for joint follower jamming rejection and symbol detection in slow FH/MFSK systems over quasi-static flat Rayleigh fading channels. The algorithm is derived by treating both the received jamming components and the unknown data symbols as deterministic quantities to be jointly estimated in an integrated ML operation. In addition, an approximate expression for the symbol error rate (SER) of the proposed scheme is derived when BFSK signaling is employed in a jamming dominant scenario. Analytical and simulated results show that the proposed approach is able to remove jamming and outperform the conventional and sample matrix inversion (SMI)-based beam-formers in the presence of a follower partial-band jammer.     

A Robust Acquisition Scheme for FH Signal in Adverse Environments

Both partial-band jamming and multi- tone jamming have severe effect on the acquisition of frequency-hopping (FH) signal in adverse environments. In this paper, an anti-jamming FH signal acquisition scheme based on cognitive correlation process is proposed to boost the robustness of acquisition. The main idea of this scheme is to utilize a priori knowledge of FH speed and FH pattern to distinguish jamming signal from received signal. Furthermore, theoretic analysis on detection probability and false probability is given to demonstrate the robust performance of the FH signal acquisition method compared with conventional acquisition scheme without any prior information on FH speed and pattern in adverse environments.     

Analysis of an antijam FH acquisition scheme

An easily implemented matched filter scheme for acquiring hopping code synchronization of incoming frequency-hopping (FH) signals is analyzed, and its performance is evaluated for two types of jamming: partial-band noise jamming and partial-band multitone jamming. The system is designed to reduce jammer-induced false alarms. The system's matched filter output is compared to an adaptive threshold that is derived from a measurement of the number of acquisition channels being jammed. Example performance calculations are given for the frequency coverage of the jamming either fixed over the entire acquisition period or hopped, that is, changed for each acquisition pulse. It is shown that the jammer's optimum strategy (the worst case) is to maximize the false alarm probability without regard for the effect on detection probability, for both partial-band noise and multitone jamming. It is also shown that a significantly lower probability of false acquisition results from using an adaptive matched filter threshold, demonstrating that the strategy studied here is superior to conventional nonadaptive threshold schemes

Optimization of a hybrid SFH/DS MFSK link in the presence of worstcase multitone jamming

The performance of a hybrid slow frequency hopped direct sequence multiple frequency shift keyed (SFH/DS MFSK) communication link in the presence of partial band multitone jamming is considered. The communication signal is characterized by a DS-spread MFSK signal bandwidth that may exceed the FH slot spacing, and the signal consists of multiple M-ary symbols per DS code period. An equation for the bit error rate (BER) is developed for the signal in the presence of multitone jamming. The equation is flexible enough to allow examination of optimization of jamming strategy. It is shown that the jamming strategy may be optimized by varying the number of tones, their placement, or both. It is shown that in the presence of optimized jamming, overlapping systems are more resistant to jamming than nonoverlapping systems with equal parameters (except for the number of FH slots). It is also demonstrated that, in some cases, the addition of DS spreading to an FH system, without increasing the total system bandwidth, can significantly improve the system's resistance to partial band multitone jamming

MIMO solution for performance improvements of OFDM–CDMA system with pilot tone

In this paper, MIMO OFDM–CDMA downlink scheme is proposed as a solution for improving performance of the OFDM–CDMA downlink system with pilot tone and threshold detection combining (optimum TDC). The new presented system with MIMO included uses space–time block coding applied to two, three and four transmit antennas and it has an arbitrary number of receive antennas. Bit error rate performance in the case of Ricean frequency selective fading is evaluated for the original system as well as for the one with MIMO included. For that reason an adequate simulation model is developed. The results show that the proposed system significantly outperforms the OFDM–CDMA downlink system with pilot tone and optimum TDC.     

An Enhanced Embedded-Pilot Channel Estimation Architecture for MIMO MC-CDMA Systems

In this work an enhanced semi-blind channel estimator is presented for multicarrier CDMA systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. The novel scheme is based on embedded pilots that are characterized as virtual users and their number is determined in a dynamic fashion according to the propagation channel conditions. The superimposed code-multiplexed pilots are used initially for channel estimation before the despreading operation, thus achieving per subcarrier estimation using the known unique multi-layer pattern of the virtual users. Afterwards, the estimation is enhanced by using the despread pilots. Furthermore, an iterative scheme is incorporated in channel estimation process minimizing the effect of multiuser interference and operates either in interference cancellation, or in virtual user mode. The proposed architecture is evaluated for spatial diversity systems (space- frequency block coded) with two transmit and up to four receive antennas operating in realistic propagation channels for various modulation and coding schemes. The results demonstrate a significant performance improvement especially as the channel is dominated by its time variant characteristics. The dynamic assignment of spreading codes in the payload and the pilots offers to the system realistic flexibility and adaptivity in demanding channels achieving concurrently maximization of the real overall system throughput, while maintaining low overhead and complexity burden.

Generalized principal ratio combining for space-time codes inslowly fading channels

We present a generalized version of principal ratio combining (PRC), which is a near-optimum detection scheme for space-time codes in quasistatic flat fading environments. In Tarokh and Lo (1998), the performance penalty increases as the number of receive antennas increases. In the proposed scheme, receive antennas are optimally grouped by K, and the PRC detection method is applied to each group. This shows a flexible tradeoff between performance and decoding complexity by choosing the appropriate K     

Interference Cancellation with Space Diversity for Downlink MC-CDMA Systems

Modern wireless communications require an efficient spectrum usage and high channel capacity and throughput. Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), Linear equalizers, multi-user detection and multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) are possible solutions to achieve spectral efficiency, high channel capacity, eliminate multiple access interference (MAI), eliminate Inter symbol interference (ISI) and robustness against frequency selective fading. In this paper, we combine all these techniques and investigate BER performance. We propose a low complexity receiver structure for Single-input Multiple-output (SIMO) downlink MC-CDMA systems. It employs an interference cancellation scheme to suppress the interference caused by the multipath fading channel. Also, the proposed scheme is developed for MIMO MC-CDMA system. The performance analysis of Downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems with V-BLAST over frequency selective fading channel is investigated under various number of transmit and receive antennas. The simulation results show proposed SIMO equalization with parallel interference cancellation scheme is effective in reducing the ISI and the MAI. It improves the performance significantly and the simulation results show that MIMO MC-CDMA with V-BLAST multi-user detection provides high data rate and the BER significant improvement.

Transmit‐sense‐receive–based cognitive antijamming for airborne ad hoc networks

In this paper, a transmit‐sense‐receive mode–based simultaneous transmit‐and‐receive cognitive antijamming (SCAJ) strategy is proposed to enhance spectrally efficient of airborne networks in congested electromagnetic spectrum environment. We explore the performance of spectrum sensing based on energy detection in SCAJ system. The tight close form expressions of jamming detection and false‐alarm probability are derived under different channels, the throughput of individual SCAJ system is analyzed, and SCAJ transceiver‐based airborne ad hoc network capacity is presented for air platform equipping with digital beamforming antennas. Simulation results show that proposed SCAJ technology can improve the antijamming capability and airborne ad hoc network capacity compared to the half‐duplex cognitive antijamming scheme. It is an effective approach to solve the problem of designing airborne networks arise from the limited availability of spectrum and the desire to provide much higher data rates.     

Performance Analysis of MIMO Based CDMA Code Acquisition Over Rayleigh Fading Channels

This paper proposes a new MIMO based CDMA code acquisition scheme. The pilot codes consist of a number of short Gold code sequences which are transmitted in parallel using a group of transmit antennas. Reception diversity is performed by multiple receive antennas at the receiver. Three different acquisition detection techniques are proposed and compared. Corresponding threshold optimizations are investigated as well. Detection and false alarm probabilities are derived in closed form based on the outputs of non-coherent matched filters. The acquisition performance is evaluated in terms of mean acquisition time (MAT) in Rayleigh fading environment. It is shown that the proposed MIMO acquisition scheme exhibits a much better MAT performance than the conventional single-antenna acquisition scheme. The results reveal that multiple receive antennas can be utilized to significantly reduce the MAT at the expense of receiver complexity increase. On the other hand, increasing the number of transmit antennas makes the MAT performance more robust in the presence of strong interference.     

A DSFBC-OFDM for a Next Generation Broadcasting System With Multiple Antennas

In this paper, we propose a differential space-frequency block code-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DSFBC-OFDM) scheme as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission technique for next generation broadcasting system. A linear decoding method for DSFBC, which performs comparably to the ML decoding method, is derived for the cases of two or four transmit antennas. A simple table lookup method is proposed to improve the efficiency of the encoding/decoding process of DSFBC for the case of non-constant modulus constellations. This not only reduces the computational load, but also removes the necessity of channel estimation. Also, synchronization techniques with a DSFBC-encoded phase reference symbol (PRS) are discussed. Finally, an MIMO channel model for the next generation broadcasting system is developed by extending the 3GPP MIMO model to fit broadcasting environments. The MIMO channel model is then used to compare BER performances of differential space block code schemes for various channel environments. Simulation results show that the DSFBC-16QAM scheme using either four transmit antennas with one receive antenna or two transmit antennas with two receive antennas achieves a performance gain of 12 dB, with a data rate twice faster than that of the conventional DQPSK scheme

Diversity and coding for FH/MFSK systems with fading and jamming.II. Selective diversity

For pt.1 see ibid., vol.COM-35, p.1329-41 (1987). A performance evaluation is presented for selective diversity with feedback for frequency-hopping M-ary frequency-shift-keyed systems operating over Rayleigh faded channels in the presence of partial-band noise and partial-band tone jamming. The behavior of uncoded and coded systems is studied. For coded systems, the performance is evaluated for hard-decision receivers without channel state information and soft-decision receivers with perfect jammer state information. The results demonstrate that the performance of uncoded FH/MFSK with selective diversity is unacceptable. However, this diversity technique can offer definite improvements for coded FH/MFSK systems. Specifically, the effectiveness of selective diversity signaling depends on the provision of a feedback channel between the transmitter and receiver to provide the transmitter with the fading gains of the independently faded channels. To obtain an improvement from the selective diversity signaling scheme described here, there must be multiple independently faded channels between the transmitter and receiver. If not, the performance of the selective diversity signaling scheme will be identical to the performance of FH/MFSK without diversity
