This architecture utilizes the non data aided carrier recovery for synchronization, which is based on the DC error tracking behavior of a control loop. We exploit the hardware-software co-design in this architecture, which makes it flexible for different design parameters. The early-late gate technique as a conventional symbol timing recovery is also addressed within the proposed framework. Hardware-software implementation in field programmable gate array (FPGA) and its issues are presented for different data rates.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125415834","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}

Therefore, an equivalent point-to-point MlMO channel is realized for each mobile, and the spatial interference among the multiple data streams directed to each user (self-interference) can be eliminated using signal processing algorithms developed for point-to-point MlMO systems. The proposed nonlinear preceding approach results in an improvement of the null space constraint technique (NS technique), in which linear pre-processing is used to pre-eliminate the MUI at the base station.

Systematic methods for recursively generating certain types of DAPU matrices as well as a fast algorithm to implement them in a system are presented.

The resulting half-pixel FTS, HP-FTS, is implemented and analyzed as part of an H.263 encoder. Results indicate that the computational complexity of the proposed HP-FTS is lower compared to a two-stage (full-pixel first and half-pixel second) FTS algorithm. Further, the compression ratios and the quality of the reconstructed sequences using the proposed HP-FTS are similar to those of the two-stage FTS.","PeriodicalId":346880,"journal":{"name":"PACRIM. 2005 IEEE Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and signal Processing, 2005.","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121480518","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}
