Multi-User MIMO Mobile CDMA Uplink System Employing Turbo Coding and Joint Detection Through a Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel

In this paper, a generalized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system that can be fitted to the uplink of a wireless communication system is considered for the general case of multi-user. At the transmitter, the information bits are Turbo coded, then interleaved and passed through a serial-to-parallel converter. The channel is assumed bad urban suffering from multipath Rayleigh fading resulting in inter-symbol and multiple access interferences (ISI and MAI). At the front-end of the receiver, a number of receiving antennas are used followed by a joint multi-user estimator based on the Minimum Mean Square Error Block Linear Equalizer (MMSE-BLE).Computer simulations demonstrate a significant performance improvement in both single user and multi-user cases.This paper depends in parts on that presented at the 11th European Wireless Conference, Cyprus, Nicosia, pp. 187–192, April 2005.

The research on channel estimation and signal-noise ratio estimation based on minimum error entropy kalman filter for single carrier frequency domain equalization system

In this paper, the channel estimation and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation technique of single-carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) system under low SNR in aeronautical multipath channel are studied, a SNR estimation algorithm which is easy to implement in engineering and an improved LS channel estimation algorithm based on Kalman filter using minimum error entropy (MEE-KF) are proposed. This paper first introduces the SC-FDE system and introduces the principle of MEE-KF, and then, the channel estimation flow based on MEE-KF is obtained by combining it with the traditional LS channel estimation algorithm, which makes the estimation results perform better. Simulation results show that after getting more accurate noise variance, the channel estimation results can better follow the changes of the channel after MEE-KF processing, so as to resist the doppler frequency offset effect and make the channel estimation results more accurate, that is the channel response results of the data part can be closer to the real situation, so that the communication performance of SC-FDE system has also been greatly improved.     

Optimization for faster-than-Nyquist signaling based combining under multi-path channel

We propose a faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling based combining scheme to increase the achievable rate for the single-input-single-output (SISO) system and the single-carrier system under the multi-path channel, where the combining scheme aims to combine the signals received at all symbol periods during the channel length for each transmitted symbol. An important feature of the FTN signaling based combining scheme is that the transmitter ceases the transmission for b symbol periods after transmitting each symbol. By proposing the optimization algorithm for finding the optimum b that maximizes the achievable (information) rate, we propose in this paper the optimal FTN signaling based combining scheme. We first establish the optimization problem and then present a theorem for proving the existence of the optimum b that maximizes the lower bound of the average achievable (information) rate. On the basis of this theorem, we present the steps of the proposed optimization algorithm. Numerical results are provided, and they confirm that the proposed optimization algorithm can find the optimum b.

Equaliser Performance for HIPERLAN in indoor channels

In order to accomplish practical deployment modelling for system performance evaluation and comparison for possible modulation and equalisation schemes to be used in HIPERLAN, a wide band tapped delay line (WTDL) channel model has been adopted by ETSI to characterise the multipath fading in the indoor radio environment. Based on this statistical channel model, and using Monte Carlo method, this paper evaluates the average probability of error for linear and decision feedback equaliser as a function of signal-to-noise ratio. It also evaluates the matched filter bound for this channel model. The results show the optimum performance levels achievable via the use of any equaliser.The work described in this paper was supported by the UK DTI/EPSRC LINK project: PC2011 High Throughput Radio Modem under EPSRC grant reference GR/K00318 in collaboration with Symbionics Networks limited.     

一种多径线性调频信号的参数估计方法

基于循环互相关变换，提出了一种结合循环频率域的信号分离技术的多径LFM信号参数估计方法。该方法首先利用信号循环相关变换，估计出源信号的特征参数，根据估计出的参数重构出源信号，并将其和观测信号作循环互相关变换，再根据信号循环频率域上的多径信号特征，估计出最强路径信号分量的时延和衰减因子参数，然后重构最强路径分量，最后将其从观测信号中滤去，这样逐次分离出各径信号，从而有效地抑制了强路径信号分量对弱路径信号分量的影响。最后运用计算机进行了仿真实验。
