Since the interfering signals can be seen as (very) long term echoes, an effective method to combat echoes, such as OFDM, is a natural candidate for the SFN. However, although OFDM is a very efficient method, the very long delays that characterise SFN echoes require extremely long packets in OFDM transmissions and high stability of the subcarriers frequencies. An alternative approach based on array processing is proposed. The signals received by the sensors are filtered and downconverted. Then, source separation is performed using transmitters localisation and multiplication by the pseudo-inverse of the estimated mixture matrix. Symbol timing and carrier recovery is then performed on each separated component. Furthermore, in order to increase the SNR, these components can be globally synchronised (using a correlator) and summed. Experimental results are finally presented and show good performance of the approach in a realistic configuration.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

Estimating each path's angle of arrival (AOA) and propagation delay is necessary for several applications such as mobile localisation for emergency services and advanced handover schemes. In conventional JADE methods, the channel impulse response is estimated first from the received samples and then this impulse response is used to estimate AOAs and time delays of the multiple paths. We propose a Bayesian approach for joint AOA and time delay estimation of fading multipath signals in symmetric a-stable noise. Approximating /spl alpha/-stable noise by Gaussian mixtures, we derive a posterior probability density for the AOAs, time delays and the fade amplitudes given the received samples and the model order (number of multipaths). This posterior probability is then used with the Metropolis-Hasting algorithm to derive the samples for the AOAs, time delays and the fade amplitudes. Unlike the conventional subspace-based methods, this algorithm can be used with significantly lower number of samples.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

In this paper, we present an algorithm that extracts the desired signal in the presence of interferers and estimates the delay of the signal. The algorithm is based on the second order cyclic statistics of the signal. The delay is estimated using the cyclic auto-correlation and we propose a new cost function based on the second order lag product to extract the signal.

Pilot symbol-assisted channel estimation has been adopted in the development of the third-generation wideband CDMA mobile communication system. However, the performance of the pilot symbol-assisted channel estimation is limited in a fast fading environment because only a few pilot symbols are inserted in each frame of received data in the third-generation wideband CDMA system. In this paper, a blind channel identification method is proposed based upon the Cross-Relation Method of Xu, Liu, Tong, and Kailath, in order to reduce the need for pilot symbols in coherent detection. First, an equivalent time-invariant single-input multi-output system is created for the de-spreaded signals through employing multiple antennas at receiver site. Second, the Cross-Relation Method is applied to the equivalent linear time-invariant single-input multi-output-channel model to blindly identify the channel. Simulations are performed to evaluate the blind channel identification method's applicability to third-generation wideband CDMA.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

First, an approximation based on the convergence of the Cholesky decomposition performed within ZF-BLE is studied. Then, by inverting one row of a small part of the matrix equation, a filter for each CDMA code is constructed. Since size and energy consumption are more critical at the mobile than at the base station, all complexity evaluations within this paper are done in the downlink, using for digital applications the current set of parameters of the ETSI proposal.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.
