After deriving the exact distribution of the variables of interest, the outage probability of the system—with and without the direct link—is obtained in closed-form, and the ∈-outage capacity is derived in the particular case where the channel model is reduced to a Rayleigh fading.

Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, when no resources has been assigned in the uplink to a given UE (User Equipment), the ACK/NACK associated with the received packets are conveyed back to the LTE base station through the so-called Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). In PUCCH, the data streams transmitted by multiple UEs are multiplexed in the frequency-domain with the aid of spreading codes. However, in multi-cell scenarios, the presence of Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) arising from the lack of code orthogonality severely limits receiver performance. In this paper, we propose a new multi-user receiver for PUCCH LTE operating in a cell-cooperative setting. Using the fact that the received signal in PUCCH signaling follows a constrained tensor model, a multiuser receiver based on an iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection is proposed. The uniqueness conditions of this particular tensor model allows us to derive the maximum number of terminals that can be simultaneously detected at the LTE base station. Simulation results show the remarkable performance gains of the proposed receiver compared to the conventional time-frequency decorrelator based receiver.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122409126","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 this paper, the effects of CFO on a filter bank based multicarrier system (FBMC) in a multipath fading channel are discussed, where an ideal root-raised cosine (RRC) filter with roll-off factor 1 is used as the prototype filter which enables analytical derivations of the interference caused by the CFO. Based on these results, an approximation on the SNR degradation with very small CFO is also given. Numerical experiments as well as Monte Carlo simulations are done to verify the analysis and the accuracy of the approximation in FBMC systems. A comparison with the SNR degradations in cyclic prefix based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) systems has indicated an advantage of FBMC systems as being more robust to frequency misalignments.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125606101","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}

Ranging from Kalman Filter (KF) to particle filters, there is a plethora of alternatives depending on model assumptions. We focus our interest into a recently developed algorithm known as the square-root Quadrature Kalman Filter (SQKF). Under the Gaussian assumption, the SQKF is seen to optimally tackle arbitrary nonlinearities by resorting to the Gauss-Hermite quadrature rules. However, its complexity increases exponentially with the state-space dimension. In this paper we study a marginalization procedure to alleviate this problem which roughly consists in taking advantage of the linear substructures of the model. A target tracking application is used to validate the proposed algorithm. The results exhibit a reasonable performance of the proposed algorithm, while drastically reducing the computational complexity when compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":436215,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 11th International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132319367","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}
