Code-aided Phase and Timing Ambiguity Resolution for AWGN Channels

چکیده
We present a novel maximum-likelihood (ML) joint frame synchronization and carrier phase ambiguity resolution algorithm for coded systems that exploits the code properties by accepting soft information from the MAP decoder. Simulation results are presented for turbo codes, and are compared to performance results of a conventional algorithm that does not use the code properties. We show that codeaided frame synchronization and phase ambiguity resolution is required for turbo codes, in order to avoid either significant BER degradations or the need for very long pilot sequences.

LDPC Code-Aided Phase-Ambiguity Resolution for QPSK signals Affected By a Frequency Offset
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes provide capacity approaching performances with very long codes in a coherent channel. However, as the block length increases, their performance becomes worse with residual frequency offsets. Residual frequency offsets can be tackled with sub-block decoding and LDPC code-aided phase ambiguity resolution for binary phaseshift keying (BPSK) signals. Sub-block ...
متن کاملFeed-forward Carrier Frequency and Timing Synchronization for MSK Modulation *
The paper addresses the problem of carrier and timing synchronization for MSK modulation. Based on a second-order and a fourth-order statistical variable, an efficient data-aided algorithm is proposed to estimate the frequency offset and timing error, respectively. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves good performance in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels and it outpe...
متن کاملIterative Code-Aided ML Phase Estimation and Phase Ambiguity Resolution
As many coded systems operate at very low signal-to-noise ratios, synchronization becomes a very difficult task. In many cases, conventional algorithms will either require long training sequences or result in large BER degradations. By exploiting code properties, these problems can be avoided. In this contribution we present several iterative maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithms for joint carrier...
متن کاملImproved Turbo Decoders for Signals with Time and Phase Offset on AWGN Channels
This paper presents behaviour of a turbo coding scheme when the synchronization parameters are not perfectly estimated. We propose improved decoding algorithms for the situations when the timing and phase error are given by the Gaussian probability distribution. It is shown that relatively simple operations can improve the bit error probability without the need of reconstructing the classical d...
متن کاملTiming and Phase Synchronization with Turbo Codes
The system performance analysis of turbo coded systems in wireless packet transmission applications usually assumes that the channel has been estimated and synchronization parameters are properly set. This paper discusses a realistic turbo coding system when the signal phase or timing offset have not been perfectly compensated. Its intention is to give an overview of the synchronization techniq...
