Accurate and fast estimation of the FER is thus a crucial element of these power control or adaptive systems. This paper proposes an accurate and fast FER estimation method for any receivers equipped with iterative processors and the ability to stop the iterative processing early. Based on the observation that the average number of processing iterations is strongly correlated to the operating FER, the proposed method estimates the FER through the average number of actual processing iterations. As confirmed by extensive simulation results, the proposed estimation algorithm is much more accurate and responsive to changing operating conditions than traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Moreover, since the covariance matrix is Hermitian, the Lanczos algorithm can be used to compute the Krylov subspace basis. The conjugate gradient (CG) method is another approach to solving a system of linear equations. We derive the relationship between the CG method and the Lanczos based MSNWF and finally transform the formulas of the MSNWF into those of the CG algorithm. Consequently, we present a CG based MSNWF where the filter weights and the mean square error (MSE) are updated at each iteration step. The resulting algorithm is used for linear equalization of the received signal in an enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) system. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the MSNWF to reduce receiver complexity while maintaining the same level of system performance.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

The BER level distribution was compared to the distribution obtained when simulating a pedestrian speed TETRA DMO radio channel. The dynamics of the mobiles can have a strong influence on the radio link quality. As a general tendency, higher practical BER values can be expected as compared to the simulations when using the simple TETRA radio channel model.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

This implies that by using an appropriate energy allocation strategy, significant improvement in the error floor can be achieved with no practical degradation in the waterfall region.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Both independent and generically correlated fading cases are considered. For independent fading, closed-form solutions are also derived for both Nakagami-q fading (either with identical or dissimilar fading statistics) and mixed fading cases. Previous results are shown to be specific instances of our general expressions. Additionally, a new concise, derivative formula is obtained for calculating the bit error rate of square-law detected multichannel binary differential phase-shift-keying (BDPSK) signals. All these expressions are applicable in many cases of practical interest and provide accurate predictions of the performance of both binary and M-ary orthogonal signalling over generalized fading channels (with arbitrary fading parameters). Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of the theory, including the investigation into optimal diversity order in energy-sharing communications, characterization of block orthogonal codes with soft-decision decoding (i.e., MFSK may also be viewed as a form of repetition coding) and analysis of MFSK with space (antenna) diversity.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.
