The asymptotic efficiencies of two decorrelators, path-by-path and channel-matched decorrelators, are analyzed in fading multipath propagation environments, and based upon the analytical results, a new joint multiuser detection and channel estimation scheme is proposed for asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile communications channels. In the path-by-path decorrelator, each of...

In this paper the wireless communication system with the receiver consisting of an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop is considered. Proposed system is subjected to k-μ multipath fading environment and single interference. Performance measures such as average switching rate (ASR) and mean time to loss of lock (MTTL) are investigated. Furthermore, closed form expressions for ASR and MTTL are...

In fixed-to-fixed channel, it is widely assumed that the channel is stationary in time for above rooftop LOS propagation. This assumption is based on the fact that surrounding buildings are the main cause of multipath fading. However, the channel become quasi-stationary in time especially at lower receiving height (below rooftop) and for cases where moving objects are in the vicinity of receivi...

This paper presents an architecture of Multiband Impulse Radio UWB (MB-IR-UWB) system based on Prolate Spheroidal Wave Function (PSWF) by binary time hopping pulse position modulation (TH-PPM) over multipath fading channel. In order to combat multipath fading, Rake receiver using maximal ratio combining (MRC) is applied to this system, which can successfully capture the unique multipath-rich pr...

ETRI Journal, Volume 26, Number 6, December 2004 In this paper, we discuss the design problem and the robustness of space-frequency trellis codes (SFTCs) for multiple input multiple output, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. We find that the channel constructed by the consecutive subcarriers of an OFDM block is a correlated fading channel with the regular correlatio...

A transmitted radio wave interacts with various physical objects within the channel; a process that manifest itself as a multipath propagation, i.e., the transmitted wave reaches the receiver through many different propagation paths. The principle of superposition leads to constructive and destructive interference of the waves, which is evidenced as a variation in the received signal power, ref...

Cognitive radio has more extensive application in recent years, and it may operate in complex wireless environmental condition such as communication systems with time-variant multipath flat-fading channel. As an essential technology for cognitive radio, most existing spectrum sensing methods are designed for time-invariant propagation channel; thus, it could be extremely difficult to achieve ac...

The capacity of future wireless networks must be increased to accommodate more demanding wireless devices and applications. Network coding at the physical layer, although originally applied in wired networks, can be used to exploit the broadcasting capability of the wireless channel to increase network capacity. A wireless channel is characterized by multipath fading which produces interference...

In this study, Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution (EDGE) mobile communication system is analyzed and modeled assuming to operate in both Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel and Rayleigh fading channel. A MATLAB software package is developed to simulate extensively the EDGE system. The system analysis takes into account channel coding, modulation type, interleaving and burst building,...

The timeand frequency-varying behavior of an indoor power-line network is the result of variable impedance loads connected to its termination points. In fact, any signal transmitted through such a communications network is subject to time-varying multipath fading. In this paper, an analytical calculation method is presented, which can be used to determine the multipath components of any point-t...
