Space-time synchronization algorithms for UMTS/TDD systems with strong co-channel interference

چکیده
This paper presents methods for synchronization in the downlink of a UMTS/TDD system. Space-time processing based on multiple receive antennas is used to suppress potentially strong co-channel interference caused by other base stations. We develop a detection-based synchronization procedure exploiting the structure of UMTS/TDD, and we present three alternative detection algorithms. Simulation results using various propagation scenarios indicate the good performance of our synchronization methods in the presence of strong co-channel interference.

متن کاملSpace-time algorithms for multiuser channel estimation in the downlink of UMTS/TDD
We present space-time methods for channel estimation in the downlink of a UMTS/TDD system. The channels associated to all base stations near the mobile receiver are estimated by a multiuser, multi-antenna technique. We develop a minimum mean-square error (MMSE) channel estimator that incorporates midamble detection/estimation and least-squares channel estimation as preparatory stages. Combinati...
متن کاملA Multi-Antenna Detection Algorithm for UMTS/TDD Receivers in Strong Interference Environments - Global Telecommunications Conference, 2003. GLOBECOM '03. IEEE
We propose a space-time detection algorithm for a UMTS/TDD downlink scenario with strong interference. Conventional space-time detection schemes based on MMSE equalization require accurate estimation of the correlation matrix of the received signal vector, which is difficult because of the time variation of the mobile radio channel. We thus develop a decision feedback detection scheme in which ...

2 Universidade de Aveiro, Instituto de Telecomunicações / DETUA, 3810 Aveiro, Portugal Abstract Channel estimation is an essential building block for UTRA-TDD high performance receivers. Once the performance of the channel estimator algorithm proposed by 3GPP is highly dependent on the time spreading between consecutive multi-path components, a Successive Multi-path channel Estimation Technique...
متن کاملSpace-Time Coding for UMTS. Performance Evaluation in Combination with Convolutional and Turbo Coding
Space-time codes provide both diversity and coding gain when using multiple transmit antennas to increase spectral efficiency over wireless communications systems. Space-time block codes have already been included in the standardization process of UMTS in conjunction with conventional channel codes (convolutional and turbo codes). We discuss different encoding and decoding strategies when trans...
