In this paper, we derive bit error performance bounds for turbo codes on Nakagami fading channels with diversity combining. We first derive the average pairwise error probability expressions for turbo codes with maximal ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC), and selection combining (SC) on Nakagami fading channels. Using the pairwise error probability expressions and the union bound...

In this paper, we propose an online SNR estimation scheme for Nakagami-m fading channels with equal gain diversity combining. We derive the SNR estimates based on the statistical ratio of certain observables over a block of received data. An online SNR estimator for an AWGN channel has been derived by Summers and Wilson. Recently, we derived an SNR estimation scheme for Nakagami-m fading channe...

In diversity combining at the receiver, the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is often maximized by using the maximal ratio combining (MRC) provided that the channel is perfectly estimated at the receiver. However, channel estimation is rarely perfect in practice, which results in deteriorating the system performance. In this paper, an imperialistic competitive algorithm (ICA) is proposed and ...

We introduce a novel merger of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) and smart antenna arrays. With regard to the DS-CDMA scheme, we employ carrier interferometry DS-CDMA (CI/DS-CDMA), a novel implementation of DSCDMA where chips are decomposable into N narrowband frequency components. With regard to the antenna array, we deploy the oscillating-beam smart array. Here, applying...

Spatial-temporal equalizer can be used in the wireless communication systems with antenna arrays to improve the performance. In this article, we introduce two blind adaptive algorithms for spatial-temporal equalization, and present their convergence. Computer simulation demonstrates that the new algorithms converge faster than fractionally spaced constant-modulus algorithm (FSCMA). 1 PROBLEM FO...

Receiver diversity methods play a key role in combating the detrimental effects of fading in wireless communication and other applications. Commonly used linear diversity methods include maximal ratio combining, equal gain combining and antenna selection combining. A novel linear combining method is proposed where a universal orthogonal dimension-reducing space-time transformation is applied pr...

This paper analyzes the performance of cooperative amplify-and-forward (CAF) relay networks that employ adaptive M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM)/M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) digital modulation techniques in Nakagami-m fading channel. In particular, we present and compared the analysis of CAF relay networks with different cooperative diversity and opportunistic routing strategi...

The average symbol error probability (ASEP) and outage probability (OP) performance of the switched diversity combining (SDC) system over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated in this paper. The probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used to derive exact and approximate ASEP expressions for phase shift keying (PSK) and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Exa...

This paper proposes a frequency domain diversity approach for two or more microphone signals, for example, for in-car applications. The microphones should be positioned separately to insure diverse signal conditions and incoherent recording of noise. This enables a better compromise for the microphone position with respect to different speaker sizes and noise sources. This work proposes a two-s...
