The algorithm is applicable to a nonuniform array where the number of users could be greater than the number of antennas, and does not require a prior knowledge of the DOAs of the signals of any user. The method requires the code sequence of a reference user only. The proposed algorithm provides us with the joint estimates of the spatial signature and the channel impulse response of the used signal sources as well as the calibration of the sensor gains and phases, even under multiple access interference. The algorithm is near-far resistant and thus well suited for the multipath fading channel.","PeriodicalId":186198,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference Fall 2000.

The technique proposed gives a new way to estimate the time-frequency synchronization parameters in an uplink MC-CDMA system, with the consideration that all the users reach the base station in an asynchronous mode. The proposed scheme combines the CDMA insertion mode for different spreading codes for all the users, and the SS-MC-MA (spread spectrum multi-carrier multiple access) mode as an insertion technique for the offset correction sequences. The insertion of pilots and offset correction sequences for each user are located at different carriers and obey to the non-overlapping principle with the rest of the user's position.","PeriodicalId":186198,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference Fall 2000.

In this context, the channel delay profile characteristics constitute a significant constraint by imposing an irreducible error rate which results in a limitation of the transmission rate. We examine the effects of equalization techniques on the performance of broadband wireless communications with CQPSK modulation. Although general in nature, this study is carried out in the context of its application to high data rare wideband transmission at millimeter-wave frequencies. The performance results are based on Monte Carlo simulations with a simplified model of the generated received signal which depend on the power delay profile characteristics. Two power delay profile models are considered: a one sided exponential model and a uniform model. Simulations results show that the relative performance of linear and non-linear equalization techniques strongly depends on the characteristics of the power delay profile model.","PeriodicalId":186198,"journal":{"name":"Vehicular Technology Conference Fall 2000.

Several configurations of these concatenated synchronization schemes are introduced for resolving shorter or longer packet delays, where the sync word is encoded with a data packet. The decoder-assisted synchronization module accepts soft-decision feedback from the decoder.
