Baseband characterization of additive white symmetric α-stable noise

چکیده
The performance of conventional digital communication schemes in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) has been widely studied and optimized. The efficiency of these systems, however, is severely hampered if the channel noise is impulsive. Impulsive noise is non-Gaussian in nature and is modeled well by random processes based on heavy-tailed symmetric α-stable (SαS) distributions. If the noise samples are identical and mutually independent, the additive white SαS noise (AWSαSN) model is used to simulate the channel. As performance is conventionally analyzed at the baseband level, we investigate characteristics of complex baseband noise derived from passband AWSαSN. The baseband noise samples are shown to be mutually independent with identical distribution. The bivariate distribution of each complex noise sample takes on a star-like geometrical configuration. We also investigate the baseband scale parameter as a function of the noise impulsiveness and system parameters.

PSK Communication with Passband Additive Symmetric α-Stable Noise
The conventional additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) model adequately simulates many noisy environments that hamper the performance of practical digital communication systems. However if the channel noise is impulsive, the approximation this model provides reduces significantly. The AWGN channel may then be replaced by the more general additive white symmetric α-stable noise (AWSαSN) model. Wh...
متن کاملAn Analysis Method for the Performance Comparison of Communication Systems
This paper demonstrates the application of cumulant equations to the analysis of non-recursive systems with polynomial characteristics, as they are often found in the baseband equivalents of communication systems. The described method leads to an analytical characterization of the systems, which is not known so far for many chaos communication systems. We use the DPSK and DCSK communication sch...

Abstract A K-user direct-sequence spread-spectrum code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system with (q log2 K)-bit baseband signal quantization at the demodulator is considered. It is shown that additionally quantizing the K + 1 level output signal of the CDMA modulator into q bits improves significantly the average bit-error performance in a non-negligible regime of noise variance, σ 2, and use...

Most point-to-point communication links (e.g., the telephone line channel, fixed microwave channels, etc.) are well-modeled using a bandpass additive noise system model of the form shown in Figure 1.1. All the signals in this model are written with “tildas” which will be dropped in the complex baseband representation of the following section. A more detailed description of the link model is as ...

The representation of α-stable distributions as scale mixture of normals is exploited to model the noise in musical audio recordings. Markov Chain Monte Carlo inference is used to estimate the clean signal model and the α-stable noise model parameters in a sparse linear regression framework with structured priors. The musical audio recordings were processed both as a whole and in segments by us...
