Performance of Pilot-Symbol-Aided 16QAM with N-branch Postdetection Diversity Reception over Multipath Fading Channels
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper studies the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a pilot-symbol-aided (PSA) 16QAM system with an N-branch postdetection selection combining diversity reception over multipath fading channels. Both pilot symbols and data symbols are used to compensate for the fading distortion. Computer simulation results have shown that the use of diversity reception can significantly improve the BER performance of the PSA-16QAM system. The improvement is more significant at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and at high signal-to-interference ratio (SIR).

Performances of 16QAM with fading compensation and postdetection diversity reception in satellite mobile channels
The paper studies the effects of N-branch postdetection selection diversity reception, where N = 1, 2, 3 or 4, incorporated with fading compensation on a digital satellite mobile system. The digital satellite mobile system transmits a pilot-symbol-aided 16-ary quadratureamplitude modulated (PSA-16QAM) signal over the Rician channels. A selection method that makes use of the pilot symbols to sel...

A novel pilot-symbol-aided (PSA) fading estimation technique that combines the estimates from a conventional PSA technique and a bandwidth-efficient PSA technique to achieve better performances is proposed for digital signals in multipath fading channels. The conventional technique has better performances at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), while the bandwidth-efficient technique is superior ...

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...
