The new approach is based on the widespread maximum likelihood principle to carry out concurrently frequency offset estimation to alleviate the ICI and multiuser detection to mitigate the MAI. The joint decision statistic, however, is highly nonlinear and conventional linear schemes are not applicable. To reduce the computational complexity without an increase of additional mechanisms, we employ a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the nonlinear optimization involved. Due to the robustness of the GA, the joint decision statistic can be efficiently solved and near optimum results can be obtained. Simulation results show that the proposed approach offers satisfactory performance in various scenarios.","PeriodicalId":191200,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123925472","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 embedded processor is employed as a control kernel to execute the test programs for all the cores in the SoC. A dedicated test access mechanism (TAM) controller is developed which controls the actual test procedure for each core such that no extra buffer is needed for individual cores. The TAM controller together with the test programs can execute scan-based testing, memory BIST and mixed-signal BIST. The platform can test cores wrapped by the standard boundary scan and the IEEE P1500 wrappers, as well as hierarchical and mixed-signal cores. Our methodology alleviates the need of expensive automatic test equipment (ATE), and hence can greatly reduce the total test cost. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed test platform.","PeriodicalId":191200,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123304016","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}

An efficient and reliable blind estimation algorithm is proposed which is based on a combination of second order statistics (SOS) and the kurtosis of the signals. SOS based methods provide efficient estimation of channel zeros from a very small number of samples. As the SOS based methods are phase blind, the kurtosis is used to resolve the ambiguity in system zero locations. It is also shown that the equalizer output could be exploited recursively to improve the estimation accuracy using finite alphabet (FA) properties. It is noted that, as all the available information for blind channel parameter estimation is used, the proposed method can achieve a very high accuracy. Performance of the estimation method is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":191200,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"29 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123501180","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}
