Abstract:

Physical-layer network coding (PLNC) has the ability to drastically improve the throughput of multi-source wireless communication systems. In this paper, we focus on the problem of channel tracking in a Decode-and-Forward (DF) OFDM PLNC system. We proposed a Kalman Filter-based algorithm for tracking the frequency/time fading channel in this system. Tracking of the channel is performed in the time domain while data detection is implemented in the frequency domain. As an important advantage, this approach does not need for training of some subcarriers in every OFDM symbols and this, results in higher throughput, compared to other methods. High accuracy, no phase ambiguity, and stability in fast fading conditions are some other advantages of this approach.

Kalman-Filter Channel Estimator for OFDM System In Time-Varying Channel

This paper presents a method of improving the least square channel estimator accuracy without increasing the pilot density. The Kalman filter process equation can be represented as Autoregressive model, and the least square channel estimate is seen as a noisy measurement of the true channel state, so the Kalman filter measurement equation can be represented as the least square estimated channel...

Performance analysis of high QAM OFDM system over frequency selective time-varying fading channel

t This paper considers the performance degradation of a high Q A M orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system over frequency selective time-varying fading channels. The time variation of the channel during one O F D M frame destroys the orthogonality of different sub-carriers and generates power leakage among the subcarriers, known as Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI). The statisti...

Doppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter

The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...

Kalman-filter-based channel estimation for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems in time-varying channels

A low-complexity Kalman-filter-based channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems is proposed. This method belongs to the pilot-symbol-aided parametric channel estimation method in which the channel responses are characterised as a collection of sparse propagation paths. Because of the slow variation of the signal subspace in the channel samples’ correlation ...
