A least square (LS) channel estimation and a carrier frequency offset (CFO) correlation estimation are combined in this contribution. CFOs are generally estimated using training sequences in a special synchronization timeslot. In this contribution, CFO estimation is further improved by taking advantages of channel estimation based on pilot symbols in traffic timeslots. The CFOs can be first obtained from the primary channel estimation. And then, with the knowledge of the CFOs estimated, channel estimation can be enhanced greatly. Computer simulation results indicate that the proposed JCCFO scheme is of good performance. Besides, the computational complexity is low.展开更多

In this paper, we propose joint multi-user detection schemes with weighting factors for unsourced multiple access. First, we introduce bidirectional weighting factors in the extrinsic information passing process between the multi-user detector based on belief propagation (BP) and the LDPC decoder. Second, we incorporate bidirectional weighting factors in the message passing process between the MAC nodes and the user variable nodes in BP- based multi-user detector. The proposed schemes select the optimal weighting factors through simulations. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed schemes exhibit significant performance improvements in terms of block error rate (BLER) compared to traditional schemes. .展开更多

The goal of code designs is to obtain an improved bit error rate (BER) performance without loss of bandwidth efficiency. The code designs achieve space diversity by employing multiple antennas at both transmit ends and receive ends. Codes are reasonably spread into time, frequency and space domain. The proposed codes are attractively characterized with length flexibility, which breaks the "power of two" constraint. The simulation results indicate that the proposed codes improve overall BER performance, by exploiting space diversity gains. The flexibility in code length also results in high spectral efficiency.展开更多
