On optimum detection of linearly filtered CPM signals

A novel structure of the MLSE receiver for linearly filtered CPM (continuous phase modulation) signals is derived. It is shown that the correlator bank required in the works of Svensson (1987) can equivalently be replaced by a reduced correlator bank, preceded by a linear filter with impulse response h*(-t) [channel matched filter]. The reduced correlator bank only incorporates characteristics of the CPM signals and is independent of the channel impulse response. This implies that the complexity of the modified correlator bank depends only linearly on the channel filter impulse response length. The proposed receiver structure permits considerable complexity reduction when compared to the currently known solution     

On the detection of bandlimited direct-sequence spread-spectrumsignals transmitted via fading multipath channels

Recent investigations suggest bandlimited direct-sequence spread-spectrum transmission for use in CDMA mobile radio systems. In this paper, transmission systems with signal bandwidths not exceeding the chip rate are considered. First, the optimum noncoherent single-user receiver and various suboptimum approximations thereof are derived. These receivers utilize the fact that the received signals can be sampled at chip rate. This results in receiver concepts, which are well suited for fully digital implementations. Then, it is shown that the main result on the structure of the optimum single-user receiver is directly applicable to optimum noncoherent multiuser joint detection and interference cancellation. In this paper, noncoherent detection is considered. By this, we mean that only the channel statistics and not the channel itself is known to the receiver. It is shown that due to this less restrictive assumption, more powerful channel coding and interleaving schemes can be employed
