直扩信号正交分路相关检测方法研究

直扩通信在军事保密通信中得到了广泛应用,鉴于其具有的高抗干扰、低截获特性,使得对其信号的检测一直是一个难点,也是研究的热点。在直扩信号检测方法中,正交分路相关检测方法凭借其良好的实用性能,得到了人们的关注。但该方法未能完全消除载波成分,使得其在较高信噪比条件下性能不理想。鉴于此,针对正交分路相关检测的互相关函数处理过程加以改进,提高其在较高信噪比条件下的性能。仿真结果表明,在一定信噪比条件下,改进方法的性能较原方法有明显提高。

Effect of phase noise in an OFDM/OQAM system

The performance of an OFDM/OQAM system under phase noise is analyzed. The analysis helps to direct the design of low cost tuners through specifying the required phase noise characteristics. Discrete time formulation of OFDM/OQAM is first derived with the square root raised cosine (SRRC) filter as the pulse-shaping filter. Then the effect of multiplicative phase noise is equivalently represented as additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), the variance of which is given analytically. We can observe that the same result as OFDM/QAM system is derived. Lastly, all the analytical results are verified by the bit error rate (BER) degradation through Monte Carlo simulation.

A simple channel estimator for space-time coded OFDM systems in rapid fading channels

A simple channel estimator for space-time coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in rapid fading channels is proposed. The channels at the training bauds are estimated using the EM (expectation-maximization) algorithm, while the channels at the data bauds are estimated based on the method for modelling the time-varying channel as the linear combination of several time-invariant " Doppler channels". Computer simulations showed that this estimator outperforms the decision-directed tracking in rapid fading channels and that the performance of this method can be improved by iteration.

Blind receiver for OFDM systems via sequential Monte Carlo in factor graphs

Estimation and detection algorithms for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems can be de-veloped based on the sum-product algorithms, which operate by message passing in factor graphs. In this paper, we apply the sampling method (Monte Carlo) to factor graphs, and then the integrals in the sum-product algorithm can be approximated by sums, which results in complexity reduction. The blind receiver for OFDM systems can be derived via Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) in factor graphs, the previous SMC blind receiver can be regarded as the special case of the sum-product algorithms using sampling methods. The previous SMC blind receiver for OFDM systems needs generating samples of the channel vector assuming the channel has an a priori Gaussian distribution. In the newly-built blind receiver, we generate samples of the virtual-pilots instead of the channel vector, with channel vector which can be easily computed based on virtual-pilots. As the size of the vir-tual-pilots space is much smaller than the channel vector space, only small number of samples are necessary, with the blind de-tection being much simpler. Furthermore, only one pilot tone is needed to resolve phase ambiguity and differential encoding is not used anymore. Finally, the results of computer simulations demonstrate that the proposal can perform well while providing sig-nificant complexity reduction.

A Reduced Complexity Time-Delay Tracking and Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems

This paper presented an improved channel estimator for orthogonal frequency division muhiplexing （OFDM） systems using joint time delay detection and channel gain estimation. The algorithm well designs an adjustment scheme using the time correlation of time delays to increase the accuracy of the time delay detection. The most attractive advantage is that the complicated matrix calculation is replaced by the search steps to estimate the channel parameters without significantly increasing the complexity of the system. The computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed algorithm can track the time delays adaptively and improve the channel estimation performance. Consequently, the better system performance will be achieved.

Dynamic Energy Saving Subcarrier, Bit and Power Allocation in OFDMA Relay Networks

To reduce energy consumption while maintaining users＇ Quality of Service （QoS） in Orthogonal Frequency Division Mul- tiplex Access （OFDMA） relay-enhanced net- works, an adaptive energy saving subcarrier, bit and power allocation scheme is presented. The optimal subcarrier, bit and power alloca- tion problems based on discrete adaptive modula- tion and coding scheme have been previously formulated for relay-enhanced networks, and have been reformulated into and solved by integer programming in optimization theory. If the system still has a surplus of subcarriers after resource allocation, we carry out Band- width Exchange （BE） to enable more subcar- riers to participate in transmission to save en- ergy. In addition, as the relay selection scheme is closely linked with heuristic energy saving resource allocation, a relay selection scheme is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm consumes less energy when transmitting the same number of bits than greedy energy saving schemes, although its spectrum efficiency is worse.

Downlink/Uplink Identification of Time-Division Duplexing-OFDMA Systems for Cognitive Radios

When coexisting with dual-link primary systems,secondary systems in cognitive radios should first distinguish between the primary downlinks and uplinks in order to efficiently explore their respective spectrum opportunities.Because of the assumptive prior knowledge about the time-frequency locations of primary downlinks and uplinks,this procedure is usually not considered in the design of cognitive radios.In this paper,a cooperative method is proposed for the downlink/uplink identification of time-division duplex-based orthogonal frequency-division multiple access systems.In this method,the power level of the primary link is extracted as the key feature,which also contributes to the subsequent cognitive behaviours.The effects of the primary and secondary systems and the effects of the detection parameters on the identification accuracy are all analysed in detail.The simulation results show that the proposed method can identify the primary links precisely and quickly with low complexity.

A COMPARISON OF TWO 2D CHANNEL ESTIMATORS FOR OFDM SYSTEM

The paper deals with two-dimensional （2D） channel estimation of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system ill slow fading wireless channel. We concentrate on two channel estimation schemes： Least Square （LS）＋Weighted BiLinear （WBL） and LS＋Linear Minimum Mean-Squared Error （LMMSE） where the first method is proposed in this paper. After theory analysis and simulation in Typical Urban （TU） channel, we find that LS＋LMMSE achieves the optimal perform- anee by exploiting prior knowledge of channel whereas LS＋WBL, without requiring channel knowl- edge and with only half of the computational amount of LS＋LMMSE, approaches LS＋LMMSE in Bit Error Ratio （BER） performance when the distance of two adjoining pilot symbols along frequency direction is sufficiently small. This makes LS＋WBL very suitable for wideband wireless applications.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CHANNEL ESTIMATION FOR LDPC-CODED OFDM SYSTEM IN MULTIPATH FADING CHANNEL

In this paper, the channel estimation techniques for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） systems based on pilot arrangement are studied and we apply Low Density Parity Check （LDPC） codes to the system of IEEE 802.16a with OFDM modulation. First investigated is the influence of channel cstimation schemes on LDPC-code based OFDM system in static and multipath fading channels. According to the different propagation environments in 802.16a system, a dynamic channel estimation scheme is proposed. A good irregular LDPC code is designed with code rate of 1/2 and code length of 1200. Simulation results show that the performance of LDPC coded OFDM system proposed in this paper is better than that of the convolution Turbo coded OFDM system proposed in IEEE standard 802.16a.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Clock Synchronization Error in OFDM System

The performance degradation of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems due to clock synchronization error is analyzed and a pilot-aided maximum likelihood (ML) estimating method is proposed to correct it. The proposed algorithm enables clock synchronization error estimation from a pilot whose duration is only two symbol periods. The study shows that this method is simple and exact. The clock synchronization error can be corrected almost entirely.

An improved channel estimation with multipath search for MIMO-OFDM systems

This paper addresses the problem of channel estimation for broadband MIMO-OFDM systems. An improved channel estimator with multipath time delay detection and channel gain estimation is proposed. In the algorithm, we used the correlation of the channel taps and a well-designed adjustment scheme to increase the accuracy of the time delay detection. The most attractive advantage is that the complicated matrix calculation is replaced by search steps which can acquire the channel order and estimate the channel parameters without significantly increasing the complexity of the system. Computer simulation showed that the proposed algorithm can track the time delays adaptively and, consequently, improve the channel estimation performance.
