The method utilizes mean-square-error (MSE) statistics in the frequency domain to detect subcarriers damaged by NBI. Approximating the MSE statistics by a decision-feedback (DF) scheme creates a blind solution without extra pilots or any other training sequences. After simplification, the computation overhead of the proposed DF method can be accomplished by only a multiplier and nine adders. Therefore, this novel method requires low computation complexity and is suitable for hardware implementation. The detection result is beneficial for band-group selection and interference detection and avoidance (DAA) mechanisms for MB-OFDM systems. Simulation results show that conventional spreading methods may fail to combat NBI as the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) decreases. Rejecting interfered subcarriers according to the proposed method can improve system performance, reducing the bit error rate (BER) from around 10−2 to below 10−4.","PeriodicalId":433699,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116586340","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}

The pseudo-ternary M-sequence is based on the M-sequence and generated by very simple methods. In the code tracking part of the proposed system, a delay-locked loop (DLL) referring the pseudo-ternary M-sequence is used. The DLL using the pseudo-ternary M-sequence can improve a tracking error performance by comparison with the DLL using the M-sequence. In the code acquisition part, a rectified pseudo-ternary M-sequence and the {-1,+1}-valued M-sequence are used. Because of the rectification, the proposed system realizes an acquisition scheme that is independent of polarity of a received sequence. Moreover, since a cross-correlation function of the pseudo-ternary M-sequence and the {-1,+1}-valued M-sequence shows a pseudo-orthogonal relation, a probability of a false alarm of the proposed system can be smaller than the conventional sliding correlator using Manchester-coded M-sequences.","PeriodicalId":433699,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123365863","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}

As the computation of the CRB is rather intensive, the modified CRB (MCRB), which is a looser bound, is derived in closed form. It can be shown that the MCRB coincides with the CRB in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) limit and to that end the CRB/MCRB ratio is simulated in case of uncoded and convolutional encoded transmission.","PeriodicalId":433699,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Symposium on Spread Spectrum Techniques and Applications","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127878745","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}

In fact, for some values of the reliability thresholds, the proposed detector reaches the optimum multiuser detector performance with a much smaller complexity.
