A Robust Detector for Time-Varying, Frequency-Flat, Rayleigh Fading Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
A receiver structure for unknown timevarying, frequency-flat, Rayleigh fading channels is proposed. Unlike the maximum likelihood receiver structure, this receiver structure does not need any knowledge of the channel autocovariance or the received signal-to-noise ratio, and yet it achieves performance close to the optimal structure. The multiplicative fading process is decoupled from the received signal, and it is modelled as a polynomial in time. Accordingly, good robust predictor tap weights are derived for predicting the fading process, and these taps are used in computing the branch metric of the detector. The receiver’s performance is studied via analysis and simulation.

A Receiver Structure for Frequency-Flat Time-Varying Rayleigh Channels and Performance Analysis
This paper proposes a wavelet based receiver structure for frequency-flat time-varying Rayleigh channels, consisting of a receiver front-end followed by a Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) detector. Discretization of the received continuous time signal using filter banks is an essential stage in the front-end part, where the Fast Haar Transform (FHT) is used to reduce complexity. Analysis of our recei...

Linearly time-varying fading models are used to investigate noncoherent detection of frequency-shift keying (FSK) signals transmitted over frequency-flat fading channels. The structure of the optimal noncoherent FSK detector is derived and a novel analytical technique is proposed to compute the error performance of noncoherent FSK detectors in fast fading. Error performance results obtained by ...
متن کاملA Blind Hammerstein Diversity Combining Technique for Flat Fading Channels
Diversity combining techniques play an important role in combating the destructive effects of channel fading in wireless communication systems. In this work we present a blind diversity combining technique for Rayleigh flat fading channels based on Hammerstein type filters. We show that the performance of this technique is very close to ideal MRC system which is accepted as an optimum receiver ...
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...
متن کاملErgodic Capacity, Capacity Distribution and Outage Capacity of MIMO Time-Varying and Frequency-Selective Rayleigh Fading Channels
The ergodic capacity, capacity distribution and outage capacity are investigated for MIMO wireless systems under time-varying and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. Our theoretical results and Monte-Carlo simulations show that: (1) if the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel impulse response has no inter-tap correlations, then its ergodic capacity is the same as that of the fr...
