Methods of designing optimized and partially-optimized power estimators, based on the Wiener model, for complex-valued signals are presented. Our application is a predictive received power level estimation in closed loop transmitter power control of mobile CDMA communications systems. The proposed estimators have the benefits of guaranteed positive output, high computational efficiency as compared to quadratic filters, and providing for a predescribed prediction step, all the aspects being of great interest when applying the estimators in delay sensitive closed control loops. The user capacity of a CDMA communications system is generally found to be greatly interference limited, and thus proper power control system functioning is of paramount interest. The partially-optimized power estimators are simulated along with Heinonen-Neuvo (1988) polynomial predictors in singleand multiuser CDMA uplink closed power control loop simulators.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

In this paper, link level results obtained for FMA1 without spreading are presented. In particular, the application of the novel rate compatible punctured turbo-codes (RCPTC), are compared with conventional nonsystematic convolutional coding. The emphasis lies on the packet transmission and on the circuit switched high bit rates. These simulation results can be applied to frequency division duplex (FDD) and to time division duplex (TDD) operation.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

However in most beamforming methods, a priori knowledge of the directions of arrival (DOA) or waveform of the signals of interest (SOI) is often required. In this paper, the cyclostationary property of most communication signals is exploited to develop a new method of beamforming. The DOA is estimated by a signal selective direction finding scheme, and then the optimum weights are determined according to multiple linear constraints. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

We first, use a finite-state Markov chain to represent the time-varying channel. Each channel state can have either a frequency-selective or a frequency-nonselective fading characteristic. This model is an unconstrained model as it does not take into account two time-parameters. The first time-parameter is the \"time unit\" for the Markov channel, which has to be determined by the channel Doppler spread or its fading rate. The second time-parameter has to do with the detection structure. Incorporating the constraints imposed by these two time-parameters we discuss modifications of the unconstrained model, derive related statistics (e.g., probability distribution function or characteristic function) of the acquisition time and then provide numerical examples of the acquisition time performance.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

We consider m>p antennas receiving mixtures of these signals through multi-path propagation (equivalently, oversampling of the received signals of a smaller number of antenna signals could be used). Current approaches to multiuser blind channel identification include subspace-fitting techniques, deterministic maximum-likelihood (DML) techniques and linear prediction methods. The two first techniques are rather closely related and give the channel apart from a triangular dynamical multiplicative factor, moreover, they are not robust to channel length overestimation. The latter approach is robust to channel length overestimation and yields the channel estimate apart from a unitary static multiplicative factor, which can be determined by resorting to higher order statistics. On the other hand, Gaussian maximum likelihood (GML) methods have been introduced in de Carvalho and Slock (1997) for the single user case and have given better performances than DML. Extending GML to the multiuser case, we can expect good performances, and, as is shown in the identifiability section, we get the channel apart from a unitary static multiplicative factor.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.

In the blind detectors proposed previously, the CMA is applied to the output of the chip match filters. In this paper, we consider the use of the CMA at the output of a bank of filters matched to the signature waveforms of each user. For simplicity, a synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) system is adopted. The convergence performance of the blind detector is also analyzed and the results indicate that the CMA does not have the stable undesired equilibrium, which has been proven to exist for the practical Goddard algorithm with the finite tap equalizer when used in intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. However, the permutation ambiguity and the phase ambiguity occur. To avoid the permutation and phase ambiguities, some constraints are introduced into the CMA and their validity is also proven by analysis and simulations. When the CMA for each user converges to the desired solution, the blind detector is approaching to the decorrelating detector.","PeriodicalId":335954,"journal":{"name":"VTC '98. 48th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference.
