The MIMO-OFDM channel matrix is first estimated blindly up to an ambiguity matrix using the subspace identification algorithm based on the second-order statistics of the channel outputs. The ambiguity matrix is then estimated using a few training symbols. It shows that the number of training symbols required by the proposed semiblind method is significantly less than that used in the training sequence based channel estimation algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

This approach captures the true nature of the MIMO channel maintaining the spatial correlation present between the antenna arrays. Correlation in time and frequency is conserved as well. The decomposition into eigenmodes, which form the channel subspace, gives an interesting interpretation of the channel's eigenstructure. These investigations lead to a very efficient method to synthesize new channels with the same correlation in time, frequency and space of a reference channel. The model allows the interpolation of a channel in order to retrieve more samples in frequency and time to perform statistical analysis such as bit error rate and capacity curves. In addition the model allows the generation of new random channels with the same spatial, time, and frequency correlations of a reference channel, which, for instance, could be obtained from measurements.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

The modulation rate is determined based on the predicted channel state. The modulation rate limits are adjusted by maximizing the throughput in error-free link-level frames, averaged over the pdf of the true channel state. No bit error rate constraint is imposed. This approach is appropriate when fast link-level retransmissions can be used to attain required error levels. The resulting scheme is evaluated analytically in a multiuser environment where predictive link adaptation is used in combination with a scheduling strategy that provides multiuser diversity gain. Prediction errors typical of prediction 1/3 wavelength ahead in space will then result in only 8%-12% reduction in the spectral efficiency, as compared to a case with perfectly known channels. The resulting performance is very robust with respect to the prediction error variance assumed when optimizing the rate adaptation scheme.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

The complexity of the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is mainly concentrated in the feedforward filter, which is often realized in FIR form. When the number of taps of the FIR filter needed to obtain nearly optimal performance becomes large, one may take advantage of the efficiency of the FFT/IFFT algorithm realizing the feedforward filter in the discrete frequency domain. In this paper we consider the minimum mean square error (MMSE) DFE with feedforward filter in the discrete frequency domain, assuming perfect knowledge of a static channel. We move from the observation that the optimal MMSE-DFE feedforward filter is IIR, and point out that the classical scheme of unconstrained frequency domain filtering with overlap/save digital signal processing may induce substantial increase in the error rate when the approximation of the linear convolution between the received signal and the mentioned IIR, to a circular convolution is poor. Our main finding is that the error rate can be significantly improved by deliberately augmenting the power of the noise in the computation of the transfer function of the frequency domain feedforward filter.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

The implemented version assumes that each beam has its own HS-DSCH channel. In the FB cases the power is equally divided between the beams belonging to the same sector. Each beam employs a scrambling code, thus in total four scrambling codes per cell, compared to one scrambling code for the sector case. A secondary common pilot channel (S-CPICH) on which the UE measures the CIR is assumed to be available for the FB system. In order to investigate thoroughly the interaction between FB and HS-DSCH (analyze the effect of antenna technique), on one hand a WWW traffic model and max-CIR scheduler, and on the other hand, a continuous data stream with infinite packet size in conjunction with proportional fair scheduler, were examined. Two channel models are also investigated: the 3GPP typical urban and the pedestrian A. The results show that for four fixed beam antennas in the pedestrian A channel model and the highly dispersive channels, significant capacity gains are obtained, threefold compared to a single sector antenna.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

Analysis indicates that for the Neyman-Pearson detection model, the most significant parameter is the false alarm rate, which is inversely proportional to the breach probability.

In addition to increased data capacity, they also support QoS (quality of service) for mobile users. Users may run multiple applications (service instances) simultaneously and QoS guarantees must be assured for one or more of them. We address the problem of providing QoS guarantees on the reverse link of a 3G (CDMA) network. We present a flexible, low overhead framework for efficient management of the reverse link resources to satisfy the QoS guarantees of each user's applications. We show how the QoS demands of all service instances of a particular user can be converted and combined into a single resource demand, namely the data rate of the corresponding reverse link channel.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.

We first elucidate that the additional improvement derived from FSS with independent frequency-block assignment by taking advantage of frequency-selective fading compared to FSS with entire-bandwidth assignment is small from the viewpoint of the received signal level when the number of frequency-block is not large. Then, we investigate the effect of FSS with entire-bandwidth assignment in laboratory and field experiments considering the application of key techniques for high-speed packet access such as hybrid ARQ with packet combining, soft-decision turbo decoding, and pilot channel-assisted channel estimation. Field experiments, which are conducted in an urban area near Tokyo, show that by applying FSS, the required signal power at the average residual packet error rate (PER) of 10/sup -3/ can be reduced by approximately 2.0 and 1.0 dB compared to the case without FSS when the maximum number of retransmissions in Incremental redundancy is 0 and 1, respectively.","PeriodicalId":201962,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (IEEE Cat.
