Bootstrap equalization

چکیده
We introduce bootstrapping as a generic method for improving channel equalization in TDMA cellular systems where the channels remain approximately constant over a transmitted burst. Bootstrapping implies that the detection is repeated, using an equalizer tuned with detected symbols. The procedure can be iterated to achieve even better performance. The initial equalizer is assumed to be tuned using a short known training sequence. When applied to experimental data from a DCS-1800 antenna array testbed, bootstrap equalization yields a performance improvement of 14 dB for a space-time maximum likelihood sequence detector and 17 dB for a space-time decision feedback equalizer in an interference limited scenario.

A comparative study of two blind FIR equalizers
The paper investigates blind finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalization schemes for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signalling. We compare a bootstrap maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) equalizer with a recently introduced concurrent constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and decision directed (DD) equalizer (CMA+DD). Both equalizers are known to outperform the CMA considerably. The concurr...
متن کاملRegularizing Image Intensity Transformations Using the Wasserstein Metric
In this paper we direct our attention to the problem of discretization effects in intensity transformations of images. We propose to use the Wasserstein metric (also known as the Earth mover distance) to bootstrap the transformation process. The Wasserstein metric gives a mapping between gray levels that we use to direct our image mapping. In order to spatially regularize the image mapping we a...
متن کاملBlind FIR Equalisation for High-Order QAM Signalling
We compare some blind finite-impulse-response (FIR) equalisation schemes for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signalling. The popular constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is used as a benchmark in an investigation of two blind FIR equalisers, namely, a bootstrap maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) equaliser and a recently introduced concurrent CMA and decision directed (DD) equal...
متن کاملOn the Impact of Using Unreliable Data on the Bootstrap Channel Estimation Performance
In this paper, we study the performance of the bootstrap channel estimation scheme, which consists in this paper in using the hard-decided outputs of the channel decoder in order to extend the training sequence. Based on a simple large system analysis, we derive the expression of the channel estimation MSE in order to evaluate the impact of using wrong decisions on channel estimation performanc...
متن کاملSingle-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
