A Signal processing method of OFDM communication receiver based on CNN

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) the signal processing is a key issue in wireless communication research. The multipath effect and Doppler shift of wireless communication channels can lead to distortion of the transmitted signal, which poses a considerable challenge to the information recovery of communication receivers. This paper presents the signal processing method of OFDM communication based on convolutional neural network (CNN). The method replaces all signal processing modules of the OFDM communication receiver with CNN, and the information is recovered by the CNN. In order to adapt to the processing of communication signals, we designed a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CONV-CNN) model as the neural network structures by this method. Simulation results indicate that the signal processing method effectively reduces the bit error rate (BER) and improves its performance compared with the conventional reception method under different channel conditions.

Semi-coherent time of arrival estimation using regression

Time of arrival (ToA) estimation is essential for many types of remote sensing applications including radar, sonar, and underground exploration. The standard method for ToA estimation employs a matched filter for computing the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for ToA. The accuracy of the MLE decreases rapidly whenever the amount of noise in a received signal rises above a certain threshold. This well-known threshold effect is unavoidable in several important applications due to various limitations on the power and the spectrum of a narrowband source pulse. A measurement performed in the presence of the threshold effect employs a receiver which operates in the semi-coherent state. Therefore, the conventional methods assuming a coherent state receiver should be adapted to the semi-coherent case. In this paper, a biosonar-inspired method for the semi-coherent ToA estimation is described. The method abandons the exploration of an echo signal by a single matched filter in favor of the analysis by multiple phase-shifted unmatched filters. Each phase-shifted unmatched filter gives rise to a biased ToA estimator. The described method uses regression for combining these estimators into a single unbiased ToA estimator that outperform the MLE in the presence of the threshold effect.

A signal optimization strategy for next generation navigation and communication integration applications

For 6G and future communication technologies, integration of navigation and communication has become a hot research topic, which can greatly improve the transmission data rate and can be applied to self-driving vehicles. In former research, a novel integrated navigation and communication signal has been designed by combining traditional global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and cyclic code shift keying (CCSK) signals. In this paper, we design an enhancement strategy for this signal, optimizing the number of cyclic shifts of the CCSK signal, which can make larger values of cross-correlation function align with the peak value of self-correlation function to overcome the cross-correlation interference and improve communication performance. Simulation results validate that the proposal not only can avoid interference between navigation and communication signals, but also can improve the signal detection probability and reduce the transmit error rate. Taking Beidou B1I signal as an example, when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is set to -27 dB, the detection probabilities for the navigation and communication signals increase about 11.4% and 13.5%, respectively, while the symbol error rate (SER) for the navigation and communication signals decrease about 16.3% and 17.8%, respectively.

Hybrid coherent and frequency-shifted-reference ultrawideband radio

Ultrawideband communications often occur in heterogeneous networks where different receivers have different complexity and energy consumption requirements. In this case it is desirable to have a modulation scheme that works well with coherent receivers as well as simpler receivers, namely transmitted-reference (TR) receivers. In particular, we consider a TR scheme that employs slightly frequency-shifted-reference (FSR) signals [D.L. Goeckel, Q. Zhang, Slightly frequency-shifted-reference ultrawideband (UWB) radio, IEEE Trans. Commun. (2007)] and thus avoids one of the main drawbacks of conventional TR schemes, namely the need to implement a delay line. We propose and analyze a modulation scheme that works well with both FSR receivers (where it has at least the same performance as conventional TR modulation), and coherent receivers. Coherent receivers receiving conventional TR modulation suffer a 3 dB penalty, because they cannot make use of the energy invested into the reference pulse. Our proposed scheme avoids this drawback by including a data preprocessor that can be viewed as a nonsystematic rate-$1/2$ convolutional code. These codes give 1.5 dB gain over our previously proposed constraint-length-two systematic codes at a BER of $1\times 10^{-4}$ in 802.15.3a CM4 multipath fading channels. We also develop a sliding-window based scheme to derive the template waveform that is needed for coherent rake receivers. This scheme exploits the data preprocessor structure and flexibly uses the received signal over a certain window. The distortion to the self-derived template waveform is a decreasing function of the window length; in the extreme but unrealistic case of a very long window length in a slowly fading channel, the self-derived template waveform is noiseless (i.e., the ideal template without distortion).
