Since OFDM/OQAM schemes do not employ a cyclic prefix, equalization has to be performed. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for blind channel identification in pulse shaping OFDM/OQAM systems. Our approach assumes that the receiver knows the transmitter pulse shaping filter. Exploiting cyclostationarity of the received OFDM signal blind channel identification is accomplished using second-order statistics only. The proposed method exhibits low noise sensitivity, is computationally efficient, and does not require knowledge of the channel order. Finally, we provide simulation results demonstrating the performance of the new algorithm.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

We assume a radio channel characterized by frequency flat Rayleigh fading which is correlated (but not coherent) from antenna element to antenna element. Different design criteria are considered and we show the relationship between downlink and uplink formulations and solutions. The resulting beamformers are typically given by quadratically constrained optimization problems which could be expected to give increased robustness to signal cancellation. Unfortunately, signal cancellation is still present, but diagonal loading can be introduced to minimize the problem.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

Estimation of (partial) channel impulse response and design of finite-length MMSE (minimum mean-square error) blind equalizers is investigated. The basis of the approach is the design of multiple zero-forcing equalizers that whiten the noise-free data at multiple delays. In the past such an approach has been considered using just one zero-forcing equalizer at zero-delay. Infinite impulse response (IIR) channels are allowed. The proposed approach also works when the \"sub-channel\" transfer functions have common zeros so long as the common zeros are minimum-phase zeros.

It is characterized by a FDD and a TDD mode, both with a CDMA component. Two options are being considered for the spreading for the TDD mode: a multicode option, where each user may have several codes of fixed length, and a single code option, where each user always has one code, but with a variable length. This paper compares the peak-to-average ratio as well as the receiver complexity and performances for both options. It shows that the single code option enables to decrease the complexity by up to 50% and to increase the performances by up to 1 dB, compared to the multicode option. The single code option allows in addition a reduced peak-to-average ratio of the RF signal, resulting in a more efficient power amplifier.","PeriodicalId":365086,"journal":{"name":"1999 2nd IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (Cat.

After that we project the obtained basis vectors iteratively to the finite alphabet constellation. We call the projection part of our algorithm DILSF (decoupled iterative least-squares with subspace fitting). Assuming two co-channel users in a GSM-like TDMA system and a Rayleigh fading channel with finite angular spread, we obtained a BER<10/sup -3/ with only 3 antennas, spaced 10/spl lambda/ apart.
