Time-Variant Channel Equalization via Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequences

چکیده
In this work we present an equalization scheme for a multi-carrier (MC) code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system that is operated in a frequency-selective time-variant (TV) channel. For block oriented data transmission we are interested to describe the TV channel for the duration of a data block with the smallest amount of parameters possible. Slepian showed that time-limited parts of band-limited sequences span a subspace with strongly reduced dimensionality. The discrete prolate spheroidal (DPS) sequences are the basis of this subspace. We exploit this property by using the Slepian basis expansion model (BEM) to describe a TV channel with a minimum amount of parameters. The mean squared error (MSE) of the Slepian BEM is 30 dB smaller than the MSE of the Fourier BEM for a frequency-flat TV channel. We present simulation results in terms of bit error rate (BER) versus Eb=N0 for a multi-user MC-CDMA forward link in a frequency-selective TV channel comparing the Fourier BEM and the Slepian BEM for channel equalization.

This paper describes an iterative time-variant channel estimator for the uplink of a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system. MC-CDMA is based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Due to OFDM every time-variant frequency-flat subcarrier can be estimated individually. We develop a successive Slepian subspace projection in the time and frequency domain. The s...

متن کاملOn the Use of Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Windows for Frequency Selective Filter Design
The FIR filter design problem is considered with respect to a combined integrated squared error-Chebyshev error criterion. Truncation of the DTFT of the desired frequency response with tapered windows is introduced and the discrete prolate spheroidal window is shown to be a good window for this purpose, due to its optimal mainlobe width-sidelobe energy tradeoff. The discrete prolate spheroidal ...
متن کاملThe digital prolate spheroidal window
The optimal window, the time limited sequence whose energy is most concentrated in a nite frequency interval is related to a particular discrete prolate spheroidal sequence. The optimal window is actually a family of windows with many degrees of freedom. The Kaiser window is an approximation to this optimal window. Kaiser used this approximation because the standard method employed to compute t...
