自适应算法在DSSS信号分集接收中的应用

分集接收技术由于能够获得分集增益,可提高多径信号的接收质量,因此在直接序列扩频系统中被广泛采用。常用的信号分集合并方法主要有选择性合并、等增益合并和最大比合并三种,其中最大比合并效果最佳,但需要准确地计算每路信号的信噪比,而采用自适应算法有效解决了准确计算信噪比的问题。因此,提出一种将RLS自适应算法与多径信号分集接收相结合的方法,它首先将接收到的多径信号分离为多路不同延时的信号,然后应用RLS自适应算法根据最小方差准则计算每一路信号的加权系数,通过对加权系数的更新获得最大分集增益,通过对不同的信号合并方式在多径信道下的性能进行仿真比较可知,采用RLS自适应算法的信号合并方式取得的性能最好。

Performance of N-branch receive diversity combining in correlated lognormal channels

Diversity reception techniques combine diversity branches to improve system performance. Fading gains of the diversity branches are correlated lognormal in indoor propagation as well as in systems deploying power control, handovers and dynamic channel allocation. In this letter, novel exact and compact expressions are proposed for the outage probability of N-branch Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC), Equal Gain Combining (EGC) and Selection Combining (SC) under correlated non-identically distributed lognormal channels.

Level crossing rate and average fade duration for pure selection and threshold selection diversity‐combining systems

Exact and closed‐form expressions for the level crossing rate and average fade duration are presented for the M‐branch Pure Selection Combining and for the two‐branch Threshold Selection Combining schemes, assuming independent branches in a Rayleigh environment. The analytical results are thoroughly validated by reducing the general case to some special cases, for which the solutions are known, and by means of simulation for the more general case. The plots presented here are also compared with those of the general solution recently published for the Equal Gain and Maximal Ratio Combining and an agreeable coherence is found.

Effect of aperture averaging and spatial diversity on capacity of optical wireless communication systems over lognormal channels

In this paper it is evaluated average channel capacity of an optical wireless communication system with aperture averaging and diversity reception over lognormal channels using a simple approximate closed form expression. The qualitative improvement in channel capacity is compared and investigated for various turbulence mitigation techniques: namely aperture averaging, diversity techniques such as maximal ratio combining and equal gain combining. Based on our study it is found that aperture averaging gives reasonably improved performance as compared to both types of diversity reception beyond certain turbulence strength. However, irrespective of turbulence strength, substantial improvement in capacity may be achieved with an array of direct detection receivers. Results obtained using the proposed expressions are in excellent agreement with those based on Monte Carlo simulations.     

Effects of threshold based relay selection algorithms on the performance of an IEEE 802.16j mobile multi-hop relay (MMR) WiMAX network

IEEE 802.16j MMR WiMAX network introduces multi-hop relay architecture, which involves cooperative relay stations focusing on increasing the network throughput and coverage. Relay selection algorithms can be used to choose the optimal relay, which help in reducing the computational complexity during the signal processing operation of the wireless network. In this research work, a conventional Amplify-Forward (AF)/Decode-Forward (DF) assisted multi-relay IEEE 802.16j WiMAX network is considered. The effects of relay selection algorithms on the performance metrics such as Symbol Error Rate (SER) and channel capacity are investigated in detail through simulation-based study. Further, the performance of this network utilizing the proposed relay selection algorithms, namely threshold based max_min and threshold based harmonic mean of SNR, are compared with the existing max_min and harmonic mean of SNR based algorithms. Standard diversity combining techniques such as Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) and Selection Combining (SC) are used for combining the transmitted signal at the receiver. In addition, the impact of relay locations on the performance metrics are explored. It is observed that both the proposed threshold based max_min and threshold based harmonic mean of SNR based relay selection algorithms outperform the max_min and harmonic mean of SNR based algorithms, as both the SER and channel capacity for the considered multi-relay WiMAX network is improved significantly. Further, this extensive study and analysis will be beneficial for the design of MMR WiMAX networks.
