Fractional Sampling Improves Performance of UMTS Code Acquisition
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improved technique with a fractional sampling based on two samples per chip, according to the Nyquist criterion, has been employed by the authors to enhance the performance in the code synchronization of UMTS (or W-CDMA) systems. In this paper, we investigate on the theoretical rationale of such a promising behavior. The performance is analyzed for several wireless channels, in the presence of typical pedestrian and vehicular scenarios of the IMT2000/UMTS cellular systems.

Performance enhancements to the UMTS (W-CDMA) initial cell search algorithm
The purpose of the cell search algorithm in UMTS is to estimate the spreading code of the serving base-station and its corresponding timing offset. The search procedure consists of 3 sequential and distinct stages: (1) slot-boundary synchronization, (2) frame-boundary synchronization with code-group identification, and (3) scrambling code identification. Algorithms that have appeared in literat...

In this paper, a novel detection method called the twin-cell detection is addressed for spread spectrum code acquisition in the presence of fractional Doppler frequency offset (FDFO). When the FDFO exists, the correlation peak used for detection during the acquisition process is split into two smaller neighboring peaks, resulting in severe degradation in the detection performance (and, conseque...

Wireless communication is the major form of connection nowadays. In most cases it exploits the benefits of the spread spectrum techniques to overcome channel introduced corruptions like Doppler residual frequency, noise, interference and jamming. These techniques also enhance the security and quality of the link. Using long spreading pseudo-noise codes provides further security for the link tho...

In this article, we study the performance benefits of the cell search algorithm. The purpose of the cell search algorithm in Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS) is to estimate the spreading code of the serving base-station and its corresponding timing offset. We study the performance benefits of estimating multiple “code-time” hypotheses in each stage of the cell search process. I...
