Relying on the widely-used dynamic motion model for arbitrary moving targets, tracking of moving objects can be formulated using received signal strength (RSS) measurements. We provide a closed-form solution that integrates localization and filtering for both an ideal channel as well as noisy channel. We first derive an exact linear model from the non-linear system of equations provided by the RSS measurements. We subsequently present an iterative method to estimate the unknown parameters and the error covariance matrix. Moreover, we prove that the estimator gives more accuracy when the number of samples increases. The Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the estimator are determined in Gaussian case. Computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed approach not only achieves more accuracy than traditional methods but also saves significant computation time.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133133312","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}

Using the first order statistics of the received signal, the proposed algorithm is carried out without aided data. The synchronization parameter and nuisance ones are separated from each other on account of the structure of the Vandermonde matrix, and their estimates are obtained by one-dimensional searching according to the orthogonality among vectors. During the searching process, relative path delays and attenuations come out as by-products. Most importantly, the proposed algorithm has a very low complexity, because the computational requirements are determined mainly by simple additions and inner products among vectors. Simulations and comparisons are performed to illustrate the promising performance of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115347864","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}

This kind of nonlinear models has important applications in the field of telecommunications, e.g. to model uplink channels in Radio Over Fiber multiuser communication systems. The proposed technique is based on the decomposition of a tensor composed of covariances of the chip-rate sampled received signals, the transmitted signals being assumed to be Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulated. The considered tensor-based approach allows a great flexibility on the number of antennas and the spreading factor, which is particularly desirable when identifying nonlinear systems. Two blind channel estimation algorithms are considered: the Alternating Least Squares (ALS) algorithm and a non-iterative algorithm based on Eigenvalue Decompositions (EVD). The performance of the proposed estimation algorithms is illustrated by means of computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114379696","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}

It is assumed that noncausal and causal Wiener filters are employed at the receiver to perform channel estimation with the aid of training symbols sent periodically by the transmitter. For both filters, the variances of estimate errors are obtained from the Doppler power spectrum of the channel. Subsequently, achievable rate expressions are provided. The training period, and data and training power allocations are jointly optimized by maximizing the achievable rate expressions. Numerical results are obtained by modeling the fading as a Gauss-Markov process. The achievable rates of causal and noncausal filtering approaches are compared. For the particular ranges of parameters considered in the paper, the performance loss incurred by using a causal filter as opposed to a noncausal filter is shown to be small. The impact of aliasing that occurs in the undersampled version of the channel Doppler spectrum due to fast fading is analyzed. Finally, energy-per-bit requirements are investigated in the presence of noncausal and causal Wiener filters.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122118522","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 asymptotic sum-rate of the channel, under Rayleigh-distributed fading, is also presented. We prove that the sum-rate of the MAC with D&F relays converges almost surely to the sum-rate without relays. Hence, at the asymptote, multiuser diversity makes D&F relaying useless. Nevertheless, is also shown here that for finite number of users, the sum-rate converges to a strictly increasing function of the number of relays.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129283361","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 receive filter is the first function after the Analog-to-Digital converter and is for that reason one of the most computation intensive parts in a receiver. The proposed filter architecture measures the out-of-band interference and calculates the required attenuation, which is used to select the appropriate filter. To assess the advantages of this on-demand receive filter, we have carried out field strength measurements in the UMTS FDD downlink band (2.1 GHz). These measurements were carried out in Amsterdam, a dense urban area with 5 active UMTS operators. Our measurement results show that in a live network configuration there is almost no out-of-band interference. Moreover, an on-demand filter would save in this case more than 68% power compared to a fixed conventional receive filter.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129638250","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}
