Decoupled multiuser code-timing estimation for code-division multiple-access communication systems

چکیده
We present herein a decoupled multiuser acquisition (DEMA) algorithm for code-timing estimation in asynchronous code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication systems. The DEMA estimator is an asymptotic (for large data samples) maximum-likelihood method that models the channel parameters as deterministic unknowns. By evoking the mild assumption that the transmitted data bits for all users are independently and identically distributed, we show that the multiuser timing estimation problem that usually requires a search over a multidimensional parameter space decouples into a set of noniterative one-dimensional problems. Hence, the proposed algorithm is computationally efficient. DEMA has the desired property that, in the absence of noise, it obtains the exact parameter estimates even with finite number of data samples which can be heavily correlated. Another important feature of DEMA is that it exploits the structure of the receiver vectors and, therefore, is near–far resistant. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate and compare the performances of DEMA and a few other standard code-timing estimators.

Blind code timing and carrier offset estimation for DS-CDMA systems
In this paper, we consider the problem of joint carrier offset and code timing estimation for CDMA (code division multiple access) systems. In contrast to most existing schemes which require multi-dimensional search over the parameter space, we propose a blind estimator that solves the joint estimation problem algebraically. By exploiting the noise subspace of the covariance matrix of the recei...

In this paper, we study an enhanced subspace based approach for the mitigation of multiple access interference (MAI) in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems over frequencyselective channels. Blind multiuser detection based on signal subspace estimation is of special interest in mitigating MAI in CDMA systems since it is impractical to assume perfect knowledge of param...
متن کاملMultiuser channel estimation for long code CDMA systems
Channel estimation techniques for code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems need to combat multiple access interference (MAI) effectively. Most existing estimation techniques are designed for CDMA systems with short repetitive spreading codes. However, current and next generation wireless systems use long spreading codes whose period is much larger than the symbol duration. In this paper, we...
متن کاملAn Iterative Multiuser Detector for DS-CDMA
We propose an iterative multiuser detector for Turbo coded Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) systems. The receiver is derived from the Maximum a-Posteriori (MAP) estimation of the single user’s transmitted data, conditioned on information about the estimate of the Multiple Access Interference (MAI) and the received signal from the channel. The complexity of the proposed receiver increases linearly...
