The Two-Step Non-Data-Aided SNR Estimation in the Low SNR Region of OFDM Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel two-step non-data-aided (NDA) signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimator is proposed to improve its accuracy in the low SNR region of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The two-step estimator consists of a coarse estimation followed by a refinement step. In the first step, three linear independent coarse estimations of the signal and noise power are obtained by exploring the cyclic-prefix (CP)-induced redundancy. In the second step, these three coarse estimations are refined by resorting to the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE). Compared with the schemes which only rely on two out of these three coarse estimations, a more accurate SNR estimation can be obtained in the low SNR region. Simulation results show that the proposed noise and signal power estimator achieve approximately 6dB and 2dB SNR gain respectively in the low SNR region, therefore, the proposed SNR estimator provides approximately 4dB SNR gain.

Blind SNR Estimation with Coherent Function for OFDM Systems
In OFDM receivers, an accurate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation is desirable for all sorts of operations involved in highperformance baseband demodulation. In this work, conventional SNR estimation techniques are investigated. Next, a blind SNR estimation scheme for the phase-shift keying (PSK) signals based on the coherence function is proposed. The proposed method is non-data-aided (NDA...

In this paper we investigate the sub-channel assignment and power control to maximize the total sum rate in the uplink of two-cell network. It is assumed that there are some sub-channels in each cell which should be allocated among some users. Also, each user is subjected to a power constraint. The underlying problem is a non-convex mixed integer non-linear optimization problem which does not h...

During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...
