In this letter, we first design a novel pilot sequence composed of chirp signals with distinct parity index values. Then, we construct a reduced candidate pilot set by leveraging the invariant parity property of index value sums under time delays. Finally, exploiting the favorable correlation characteristics of the pilot sequences, we propose a low-complexity orthogonal matching pursuit with successive interference cancellation (OMP-SIC) algorithm for solving the JADCE problem in asynchronous multiple access scenarios.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 9","pages":"349-352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11078826","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
