Turbo Decoding Performance with Iterative Channel Estimation for Multi-channel Reception in Fast Rayleigh Fading

چکیده
Coherent detection of received signals is required for turbo decoding. In this paper, we combine iterative channel estimation with Turbo decoding. Two combinations are considered in this paper. One is called outer-turbo channel estimation (OTCE), in which iterative channel estimation is carried out before turbo decoding. The other is called inner-turbo channel estimation (ITCE), in which channel estimation is incorporated into turbo decoding process. The average BER performances with OTCE and ITCE over frequency nonselective Rayleigh fading channel with antenna diversity are evaluated by means of computer simulations. It is found that the ITCE is superior to the OTCE in a fast fading channel while OTCE and ITCE provides almost the same performance in a slow fading channel.

Abstract— This paper addresses the design and performance evaluation with respect to capacity of M-PSK turbo-coded systems operating in frequency-flat, time-selective Rayleigh fading. The receiver jointly performs channel estimation and turbo decoding, allowing the two processes to benefit from each other. To this end, we introduce a suitable Markov model with a finite number of states, designe...

A novel pilot-based channel estimation scheme is proposed for frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels which works in conjunction with the existing paradigm of turbo-equalization. The iterative nature of the channel estimation technique provides substantial gain over non-iterative methods, and makes it a suitable choice for iterative equalization and decoding. The use of pilot symbols is de...

Adaptive prediction iterative channel estimation is presented for combined antenna diversity and coherent rake reception of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signals. Its first stage uses pilot-aided adaptive prediction channel estimation, while the succeeding iteration stages use decision feedback and moving average filtering for channel re-estimation.
