As it requires no CP, it has the advantage of a theoretically higher spectral efficiency. Furthermore, efficient pulse shaping can also be easily implemented. However, the classical channel estimation methods used for OFDM cannot be directly applied to OFDM/OQAM. In this paper, we present an analysis of this problem and we introduce a channel estimation method using scattered pilots. The performance results are evaluated for a slow varying multi-path channel model. For both scenarios, the results of OFDM/OQAM, using 2 different pulse shaping, are compared to those of CP-OFDM.","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":"125063421","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}

Furthermore, in order to avoid frequency planning, a frequency reuse factor of one is desirable. In this case, system capacity is limited by interference, which is particularly crucial for mobile terminals with a single receive antenna. For a high throughput, interference cancellation algorithms are required in the receiver. In this paper, a single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC) algorithm is introduced for amplitude-shift keying (ASK) modulation schemes used in coded OFDM transmission which achieves high gains in comparison to a conventional coded OFDM transmission employing quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) in an interference limited scenario. Furthermore, an adaptive least-mean-square (LMS) and a recursive least-squares (RLS) SAIC receiver, respectively, are presented. We show that in particular the RLS solution enables a good tradeoff between performance and complexity and is robust even to multiple interferers and frequency synchronization errors.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"5 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":"127562895","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}

Our results indicate that under realistic assumptions regarding the channel estimation error the system is mainly interference limited and as such, the particular power constraint does not significantly affect the asymptotic behavior of the error probability.

During this initialization phase, any other scheme for distributed Bayesian estimation utilizing communication among the same nodes must have equal or worse performance to EP. We discuss the sub-optimality of some other proposed schemes for distributed estimation in sensor networks: consensus propagation and distributed adaptive filtering, arguing that these techniques may presently be seen as seeking suboptimal performance among particular cost functions and with a goal of reduced computation and complexity relative to EP.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"124 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":"122482289","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}

In MIMO systems employing HARQ and equalization, optimal performance at the receiver is obtained when the signals corresponding to each transmission are combined before the equalizer. Performance can be exchanged for reduced receiver memory by first equalizing the signals after each individual reception and then combining them. For systems that use bit-level combining, post-equalization combining may be the only option for equalizer-based receiver implementation. In this paper the performance limit of post-equalization combining is derived for both linear and decision feedback equalizers used by receivers of HARQ MIMO systems. Moreover, pre-equalization combining and post-equalization combining architectures are compared in terms of the storage-performance tradeoff that they achieve.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"32 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":"117169205","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 new approach stems from the well known fact that the crosscorrelation of the channel is a weighted summation of monochromatic plane waves (or inverse Fourier transform of its power spectral density). In the case of Doppler spread, these plane waves are locally distributed around a main frequency which is nothing but the carrier frequency offset (CFO). This special feature accounts for the Taylor series expansions that we use herein to develop a two-ray spectrum approximate model. The resulting approximation allows us to determine a new simple and accurate closed-form estimator of the Doppler spread under the unique symmetry assumption on the channelpsilas spectrum. Simulations illustrate the advantages of the proposed technique and its robustness to the CFO.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"9 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":"132657371","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 concept is particularly simple in OFDM systems, where the channel effect on each subcarrier amounts to a complex multiplication of the transmitted symbol. It is also well known that, provided the antenna noise covariance matrix is known by the receiver, interference rejection combining (IRC) is the optimal linear combining solution. However, estimation of this matrix is usually unfeasible, in which case suboptimum combining techniques such as antenna selection, equal gain combining (EGC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) are employed. MRC is commonly employed, because it is the optimum technique for uncorrelated noise. However, we will see in this contribution that when interference is taken into account, sub-optimum MRC or EGC may be a better choice.","PeriodicalId":197154,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE 9th Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications","volume":"64 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":"131087720","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 goal of this paper is to bring some common adaptive signal processing techniques into the sensor network context in order to robustify the iterative exchange of data against communication noise. In particular, we will compare the performance of two algorithms: (a) a method, reminiscent of stochastic approximation algorithms, using a decreasing step size, with proper decaying law, and (b) a leakage method imposing that the consensus cannot be too distant from the initial measurements. We provide a theoretical analysis, validated by simulation results, of both methods to show how to derive the best tradeoff between the system parameters in order to get the minimum estimation variance, taking into account both observation and interaction noise.","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":"131219419","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}
