The name of the first receiver is the decorrelating discrete-time RAKE receiver (D-DTR), which improves the performance in the presence of channel estimation errors in diffuse channels. The second receiver is the discrete-time version of the generalized RAKE (G-DTR) receiver. The G-DTR has been proposed for correlated interference mitigation. The last system is the generalized decorrelating discrete-time RAKE receiver (GD-DTR), which combines the benefits of the D-DTR and the G-DTR. In the literature, it is shown that the D-DTR is sensitive to the estimation of the channel covariance matrix. In this work, we reduced this sensitivity and according to our results in worst case scenario the performance of the D-DTR is equal to a conventional discrete-time RAKE receiver (C-DTR). For the case of the GD-DTR, we introduce a very simple method for the estimation of the noise plus interference statistics and we modify the channel statistics estimation method of the D-DTR to be valid for the GD-DTR. Our simulations show that the GD-DTR needs an estimation quality above some threshold for a performance gain compared to the C-DTR","PeriodicalId":415037,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 14th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126998699","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}

These problems represent different cases in terms of the structure of their set of equations. The two considered cases are; undercomplete set of equations (sparse channel estimation problem) and overcomplete set of equations. These cases are carefully selected in order to demonstrate that SBS algorithms can be applied to both types of equations. The basic matching pursuit (BMP) and the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithms are selected as the SBS algorithms. In sparse channel estimation problem, the BMP and the OMP algorithms are compared with the least square channel estimates and the minimum variance unbiased estimates (MVUE). It is shown that the OMP algorithm gives estimates that are almost converging to MVUE. In angle of arrival (AOA) detection problem, the detection performances of the BMP and OMP algorithms are compared with the well known MUSIC algorithm and the Cramer Rao bounds.
