Analysis of Optimum Diversity Combining and Decision Feedback Equalization in Dispersive Rayleigh Fading
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a simplified derivation of the structure and performance of the optimum diversity comhiner/decision feedback equalizers, previously derived by Balahan and Salz. O u r analysis is based on fundamental results of linear prediction and estimation theory. New closed-form expressions that benchmark the performance of these receivers in a two-hem slowly Rayleigh fading channel having equal and unequal mean strength paths are provided. The results give insight into the henefits of utilizing space diversity and decision feedback equalization in a frequency-selective fading environment.

A Blind Hammerstein Diversity Combining Technique for Flat Fading Channels
Diversity combining techniques play an important role in combating the destructive effects of channel fading in wireless communication systems. In this work we present a blind diversity combining technique for Rayleigh flat fading channels based on Hammerstein type filters. We show that the performance of this technique is very close to ideal MRC system which is accepted as an optimum receiver ...
متن کاملFast adaptive equalization/diversity combining for time-varying dispersive channels
We examine adaptive equalization and diversity combining methods for fast Rayleigh-fading frequency selective channels. We assume a block adaptive receiver in which the receiver coefficients are obtained from feedforward channel estimation. For the feedforward channel estimation, we propose a novel reduced dimension channel estimation procedure, where the number of unknown parameters are reduce...

In this contribution we propose a novel Space-Time Coding (STC) scheme for transmissions over dispersive Rayleigh fading channels, which invokes a Joint-Detection assisted Minimum Mean Square Error based Decision Feedback Equalizer (JD-MMSE-DFE) for jointly detecting the channel-impaired wideband signals of multiple transmit antennas. The performance of the proposed scheme was investigated usin...

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
متن کاملEnergy Detection of Unknown Signals over Composite multipath/shadowing Fading Channels
In this paper, the performance analysis of an energy detector is exploited over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels, which is modeled by Rayleigh-lognormal (RL) distribution. Based on an approximate channel model which was recently proposed by the author, the RL envelope probability density function (pdf) is approximated by a finite sum of weighted Rayleigh pdfs. Relying on this inter...
