Maximum Likelihood Synchronization of DS-CDMA Signals Transmitted over Multipath Channels

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood approach for near-far robust synchronization of asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems operating over multipath channels. The algorithm is suitable for use in for instance a slotted system where each user transmits a short data burst with an embedded training sequence. The algorithm is shown to outperform the standard sliding correlator estimator. The Cramér-Rao bound is derived and is used to indicate the best performance that can be achieved by an unbiased estimator.

Bit Error Performance for Asynchronous Ds Cdma Systems Over Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channels (RESEARCH NOTE)
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of CDMA in mobile communications. Bit error rate is one of the most important parameters in the evaluation of CDMA systems. In this paper, we develop a technique to find an accurate approximation to the probability of bit error for asynchronous direct–sequence code division multiple–access (DS/CDMA) systems by modeling the multipl...
متن کاملMultiuser Detection in Shadowed Fading Channels with Impulsive Noise
In direct sequence-code division multiple accesses systems (DS-CDMA), the signals are transmitted over multipath channels that introduce fading. Multipath fading along with multiple access interference and intersymbol interference degrades the system performance. Further, simultaneous presence of multipath fading and shadowing leads to worsening of wireless channels. Moreover, experimental resu...
متن کاملSlot timing maximum likelihood estimation with bursty pilot signals for DS-CDMA in multipath fading channels
This paper focuses on the initial slot timing acquisition in DS-CDMA with bursty pilot signals, when the propagation channel is a ected by multipath and by fading. Subject to certain simplifying working assumptions, we obtain a nice form for the likelihood function and we derive the maximum likelihood estimator by solving a constrained maximization problem via the Lagrange-Kuhn-Tucker method. O...

In this paper, an adaptive near-far resistant detector using a multiple antennas for acquiring synchronization of an asynchronous DS-CDMA system is presented. The only requirement is the prior knowledge of the user-spreading sequence of interest. Also, there is no need of a training sequence and a training period. Synchronization acquisition of asynchronous DS-CDMA signals is treated as a binar...
متن کاملInitial synchronization of DS-CDMA via bursty pilot signals
We consider initial timing acquisition in DS-CDMA when propagation is affected by multipath and fading and where the base-station broadcasts a synchronization pilot signal in the form of bursts of modulated chips transmitted periodically and separated by long silent intervals. Subject to certain simplifying assumptions we derive the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator by solving a constrained max...
