Geometric derivation of expectation-maximization and generalized successive interference cancellation algorithms with applications to CDMA channel estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is well established as a computationally efficient method for separable signal parameter estimation. Here, a new geometric derivation and interpretation of the EM algorithm is given that facilitates the understanding of EM convergence properties. Geometric considerations lead to an alternative separable signal parameter estimator based on successive cancellation. The new generalized successive interference cancellation (GSIC) algorithm is then applied to multiuser delay and channel estimation for codedivision multiple access (CDMA) radiolocation and communication. The radiolocation application uses a handshaking protocol in which multiple reference nodes transmit acknowledge (ACK) CDMA packets to a master node, which then computes roundtrip travel times (RTTs). Simulation results comparing EM and GSIC are presented for the CDMA channel-estimation problem.

Amplitude and Phase Estimation Considerations for Asynchronous CDMA with Successive Interference Cancellation
Successive interference cancellation, in conjunction with very low rate convolutional codes, has been shown to approach the Shannon capacity of a Gaussian channel [1]. This approach to CDMA is very well suited to asynchronous (uplink) wireless channels. However, accurate phase and amplitude estimation is required for effective operation. In this paper, we develop a power control algorithm speci...
