چکیده
Wireless cellular systems need good estimates of local mean signal power level for use in channel access, power control and handoff. Many systems today use weighted sample average estimators which are not optimal in Rayleigh fading environments. We derive the optimal local mean signal level estimator for the Rayleigh fading environment and compare it with the sample average estimator.

Estimating Local Mean Signal Power Level in a Rayleigh Fading Environment
Good estimates of local mean signal power level are needed by wireless cellular systems for use in channel access, power control and handoff. Many systems today use weighted sample average estimators which are not optimal in Rayleigh fading environments. The optimal local mean signal level estimator for the Rayleigh fading environment will be derived and compared with the sample average estimator.
متن کاملProbability of error for equal-gain combiners over Rayleigh channels: some closed-form solutions
The probability of error of a general equal-gain combiner (EG) in closed form is not available in the literature. In this letter, by formulating the problem in the framework of signal detection and evaluating the probability of error directly from the characteristic function (CF) of the signal at the combiner output, we obtain closed-form solutions for the probability of error of the EG combine...
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 کاملOptimal resource allocation for pilot symbol aided multiuser receivers in Rayleigh faded CDMA channels
We consider a synchronous code-division multipleaccess system where each user undergoes independent frequencyflat Rayleigh fading, and where pilot symbols are periodically inserted into the data stream of each user in order to assist in the coherent demodulation of the data symbols. The motivating question for this work is: for any given set of system parameters, how often should we insert pilo...
متن کاملMLSE Receiver for the Dispersive Rayleigh Fading Channel
A maximum likelihood sequence estimator for the dispersive Rayleigh fading channel is developed. Following [1, 2], the MLSE uses a Kalman based channel estimator to acquire the channel parameters necessary to formulate the maximum likelihood metric. However, unlike the MLSE receiver presented in [1, 2], the proposed receiver uses the f-power series channel model [3, 4] to formulate the ML metri...
