The pilot symbol rate depends on the severity of the Doppler effect. There are existing algorithms such as differential decision-feedback (D-DF) and double-differential decision-feedback (DD-DF) for single-input single-output (SISO) systems to improve channel tap estimation. Such algorithms improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of pilot symbol aided decision feedback demodulation. In this paper, minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation was implemented to further improve the channel tap estimation for the D-DF and DD-DF algorithms. BER performance showed significant improvement for higher order modulation schemes. On the other hand, implementation of the new algorithm on quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) showed negligible improvement.","PeriodicalId":102625,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference (WDD)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128840773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PF-TBD has been extended to track two targets but only for the special case of the second target spawning from the first target. This paper proposes the extension of the recursive PF-TBD approach to detect multiple targets in low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The new algorithm estimates the joint posterior probability density of all the target trajectories while keeping track of targets entering and leaving the noisy radar scene under observation using multiple modes.

In this context, we introduce three optimization problems for spectrum shaping in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). These optimization problems utilize the concept of transmission hyperspace (TH). The first problem involves maximization of sum-rate of the network under primary and secondary quality-of-service (QoS) constraints utilizing frequency and space dimensions of the TH. The second problem relaxes the omnidirectional assumption and incorporates antenna directionality in the first problem. As for the third problem, time dimension of the TH is added to the first two problems and the resulting problem is formulated as a time scheduling problem. We show that all these problems are NP-hard which requires the development of efficient heuristic algorithms.","PeriodicalId":102625,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference (WDD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130503945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With recent advances in cognitive radio, it is highly desired to combine the security advantages of chaos communication with the flexibility of cognitive radio to create a chaos based cognitive radio communication system that improves the spectrum usage while maintaining high security features. In this paper, we propose a multi-user non-continuous orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NC-OFDM) based chaotic communication system employing orthogonal polyphase spreading codes. Specifically, a polyphase spreading code called carrier interferometry code is layered onto the frequency domain chaotic waveform to create multi-user support. The proposed system not only maintains the capability of operating over multiple non-contiguous spectrum holes, but also offers security features by chaos sequence modulation. For comparison purposes, we develop two benchmark schemes using both NC-OFDM and chaos modulation. Simulation results show significant performance advantage of the proposed scheme than the benchmark schemes. Finally, we point out that the proposed scheme allows flexible access control for different users and groups, in broadcast, multicast and unicast services.","PeriodicalId":102625,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference (WDD)","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130883430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
