A Non-Coherent Tracking Scheme for the RAKE Receiver That Can Cope With Unresolvable Multipath
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel non-coherent tracking technique for the RAKE receiver is introduced that has a good tracking performance even if multipaths cannot be resolved. Multiple chip-spaced correlators are used on unresolvable multipaths to provide estimates with uncorrelated noise. It is shown that the proposed tracker finds the pseudonoise code timing that maximizes the output of the maximal ratio combiner. The new tracking technique is easy to implement and does not require significantly more computations than conventional non-coherent time tracking techniques. The superior performance of the new tracking loop over conventional early-late time estimators in frequency-selective fading channels is demonstrated by means of computer simulations.

Performance degradation due to code tracking errors on a RAKE spread-spectrum receiver in the presence of unresolvable multipath
The effects of multipath and tracking error on a RAKE receiver have been analyzed in this paper. It has been shown that in the presence of unresolvable multipath, the RAKE receiver, formed by combining same samples that are used for tracking, is less sensitive to the tracking error, and that there is a wide range of tracking errors for which such receiver outperforms conventional receiver. Also...
متن کاملChannel Tracking Using Particle Filtering in Unresolvable Multipath Environments
We propose a new timing error detector for timing tracking loops inside the Rake receiver in spread spectrum systems. Based on a particle filter, this timing error detector jointly tracks the delays of each path of the frequency-selective channels. Instead of using a conventional channel estimator, we have introduced a joint time delay and channel estimator with almost no additional computation...

Spatial transmit diversity schemes are now well integrated into third-generation cellular mobile communication system specifications. When DS-CDMA-based technology is deployed in typical macroand microcell environments, multipath diversity and spatial diversity may be exploited simultaneously by a 2D RAKE receiver. The work presented in this paper focuses on taking advantage of spatial transmit...

In this paper, we propose smart step closed-loop power control (SSPC) algorithm and base station assignment based on minimizing the transmitter power (BSAMTP) technique in a direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) receiver in the presence of frequency-selective Rayleigh fading. This receiver consists of three stages. In the first stage, with conjugate gradient (CG) adaptive ...
متن کاملA Novel Multipath Interference Cancellation Scheme for RAKE Channel Estimation
A novel channel estimation scheme is proposed for a RAKE receiver operating in the downlink of a mobile communication scenario. The approach is an extension of the well known Wiener channel estimator and partly cancels multipath interference, with the additional advantage of being able to cope with physically closely spaced multipaths which arise, for example, in an indoor scenario. It is demon...
