Doppler Spread Estimation for Broadband Wireless OFDM Systems Over Rician Fading Channels

In this paper, we present a new Doppler spread estimation algorithm for broadband wireless orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with fast time-varying and frequency-selective Rayleigh or Rician fading channels. The new algorithm is developed by analyzing the statistical properties of the power of the received OFDM signal in the time domain, thus it is not affected by the influence of frequency-domain inter-carrier interference (ICI) introduced by channel variation within one OFDM symbol. The operation of the algorithm doesn’t require the knowledge of fading channel coefficients, transmitted data, or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. It is robust against additive noise, and can provide accurate Doppler spread estimation with SNR as low as 0 dB. Moreover, unlike existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm takes into account the inter-tap correlation of the discrete-time channel representation, as is the case in practical systems. Simulation results demonstrate that this new algorithm can accurately estimate a wide range of Doppler spread with low estimation latency and high computational efficiency.     

Suppression of Time-varying Multi-tone Interference Based on Frequency Domain Interference Detection

Existing active multi-tone interference (MTI) suppression methods used in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) consider the interference to be time-invariant. However, in most practical scenarios, the interference is time-varying. These conventional analytic models cannot be directly applied to current realistic systems with time-varying interference. Hence, in this paper, we propose a novel approach based on frequency domain interference detection to suppress MTI experiencing a time-varying fading channel. Our approach operates in two steps. Firstly, we calculate the interference decision threshold by the probability of false alarm based on the Neyman-Pearson (NP) criterion. Secondly, we consider that the frequency bin is corrupted by interference, and the corresponding point is set to zero if the magnitude of the received signal exceeds the threshold. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed method can mitigate time-varying MTI effectively, and can approach the interference-free performance limit over practical ranges of interference power levels and mobility levels.     

Performance analysis of MMSE detectors for high speed VSF-OFCDM

This letter investigates the effect of Doppler frequency shift on the performance of MMSE receivers for high speed variable spreading factor (VSF) orthogonal frequency and code division multiplexing (OFCDM) systems in broadband wireless communications. In VSF-OFCDM systems, the existence of multicode interference (MCI) resulting from multiple code channels occupying the same bandwidth degrades the performance. A full MMSE receiver is analytically studied in this letter, exploiting correlation properties among transmitted data on different subcarriers to combat the MCI. Furthermore, considering the fact that the fast time-varying fading destroys the orthogonality of the time domain spreading codes and thus introduces time domain MCI, its effect on system performance is evaluated accurately. It is also shown that it is expected to use time domain spreading factor N/ sub T/of 8 for a large range of Doppler frequencies, and frequency domain spreading factor as large as possible, especially in high signal to noise ratio. Moreover, in order to improve performance, the pilot channel should occupy around 20% to 25% of the total transmitted power for a large range of Doppler.     

高速场景下基于叠加导频的迭代EKF信道估计方法

针对正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM）系统在高速移动场景下时/频域选择性衰落（双选衰落）和非平稳特性给信道估计带来的技术挑战,本文采用导频与数据叠加的帧结构,提出一种基于基扩展模型（Basis Expansion Model,BEM）的迭代扩展卡尔曼滤波（iterative Extend-Kalman Filter,iEKF）信道估计方法.基于BEM信道模型且采用EKF信道估计方法可以联合估计出信道冲激响应（Channel Impulse Response,CIR）与时变的时域自相关系数,有效消除子载波间干扰（Inter Carrier Interference,ICI）.同时,为了进一步消除叠加导频位置处的数据符号干扰,我们提出将叠加位置处的数据和导频先解耦、后重构再进行迭代EKF的信道估计方法.仿真分析表明,相较传统叠加导频的信道估计方法和导频符号辅助调制（Pilot Symbol Assisted Modulation,PSAM）估计方法,本文提出的信道估计方法在高速场景特别是低信噪比的条件下,具有更高的估计精度,更强的鲁棒性及更大的吞吐量.     

Iterative Joint Channel Estimation and Signal Detection for OFDM System in Double Selective Channels

Intercarrier interference caused by fast time-varying multipath fading channels degrades the system performance of high-mobility orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. This study considers the challenging problem of joint channel estimation and signal detection in high mobility environments. The estimation method is based on a pilot-aided linear approximation channel modeling and iterative process. After each iteration, the channel estimates are refined with the fed-back detection signal. The channel is re-estimated iteratively, detected increasingly reliable signals. The proposed method is independent of the Doppler-spectrum, delay-profile shape and the number of paths. Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed method is highly robust to fast time-varying multipath fading channels.     

A robust timing and frequency synchronization for OFDM systems

A robust symbol-timing and carrier-frequency synchronization scheme applicable to orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing systems is presented. The proposed method is based on a training symbol specifically designed to have a steep rolloff timing metric. The proposed timing metric also provides a robust sync detection capability. Both time domain training and frequency domain (FD) training are investigated. For FD training, maintaining a low peak-to-average power ratio of the training symbol was taken into consideration. The channel estimation scheme based on the designed training symbol was also incorporated in the system in order to give both fine-timing and frequency-offset estimates. For fine frequency estimation, two approaches are presented. The first one is based on the suppression of the interference introduced in the frequency estimation process by the training symbol pattern in the context of multipath dispersive channels. The second one is based on the maximum likelihood principle and does not suffer from any interference. A new performance measure is introduced for timing estimation, which is based on the plot of signal to timing-error-induced average interference power ratio against the timing estimate shift. A simple approach for finding the optimal setting of the timing estimator is presented. Finally, the sync detection, timing estimation, frequency estimation, and bit-error-rate performance of the proposed method are presented in a multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

A New Transceiver Scheme for OFDMA System Based on Discrete Cosine Transform and Phase Modulation

A high peak-to-average power ratio of the transmit signal is a major drawback of multicarrier transmissions, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). An alternative approach to mitigate the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) problem is based on signal transformation using phase modulation (PM). A phase modulation based systems have the advantage of constant envelope (CE) signals and the ability to improve the diversity of multipath channels. In this paper, a different implementation of discrete Fourier transform DFT-OFDMA system which is based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) is proposed. The DCT-OFDMA system is then used to develop a new transceiver system called DCT-OFDMA-PM which refers to discrete cosine OFDMA with phase modulation. The PM input signal to be modulated must be real which can be produced using DCT-OFDMA with pulse amplitude modulation (M-PAM). The new system involves a signal transformation prior to amplification. This gives the advantage of CE (i.e. 0 dB PAPR). The proposed system is implemented with frequency domain equalization (FDE) to obtain high diversity gains over the frequency multipath channel. Simulation the PM-based systems with multipath fading can outperform that with single path fading.     

Performance evaluation of OFDM and single‐carrier systems using frequency domain equalization and phase modulation

In this paper, we study the performance of the continuous phase modulation (CPM)‐based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CPM‐OFDM) system. Also, we propose a CPM‐based single‐carrier frequency domain equalization (CPM‐SC‐FDE) structure for broadband wireless communication systems. The proposed structure combines the advantages of the low complexity of SC‐FDE, in addition to exploiting the channel frequency diversity and the power efficiency of CPM. Both the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed system are implemented with FDE to avoid the complexity of the equalization. Two types of frequency domain equalizers are considered and compared for performance evaluation of both systems; the zero forcing (ZF) equalizer and the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer. Simulation experiments are performed for a variety of multipath fading channels. Simulation results show that the performance of the CPM‐based systems with multipath fading is better than their performance with single path fading. The performance over a multipath channel is at least 5 and 12 dB better than the performance over a single path channel, for the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed CPM‐SC‐FDE system, respectively. The results also show that, when CPM is utilized in SC‐FDE systems, they can outperform CPM‐OFDM systems by about 5 dB. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A pilot symbol-assisted coherent multistage interference canceller using recursive channel estimation is proposed for DS-CDMA mobile radio cellular system. Since the channel variation caused by fading is recursively estimated at each interference cancelling stage, the accuracy of channel estimation is improved successively.
