A periodic low power training sequence is superimposed on the information sequence at the transmitter. The channel parameters can be estimated without consuming any extra system bandwidth, but an unknown information sequence can interfere with the ST channel estimation method, so in this paper, an iterative method was adopted to improve estimation performance. An underwater acoustic channel＇s properties include large channel dimensions and a sparse structure, so a matching pursuit （MP） algorithm was used to estimate the nonzero taps, allowing the performance loss caused by additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN） to be reduced. The results of computer simulations show that the proposed method has good channel estimation performance and can reduce the peak-to-average ratio of the OFDM channel as well.展开更多

Commonly, these channels are composed of a few dominant coefficients and a large part of coefficients are approximately zero or under noise floor. To exploit sparsity of multi-path channels (MPCs), there are various methods have been proposed. They are, namely, greedy algorithms, iterative algorithms, and convex program. The former two algorithms are easy to be implemented but not stable;on the other hand, the last method is stable but difficult to be implemented as practical channel estimation problems be-cause of computational complexity. In this paper, we introduce a novel channel estimation strategy using smooth L0 (SL0) algorithm which combines stable and low complexity. Computer simulations confirm the effectiveness of the introduced algorithm. We also give various simulations to verify the sensing training signal method.展开更多

This study investigated how working memory was encoded by the power of multichannel local field potentials （LFPs） based on sparse non negative matrix factorization （SNMF）. SNMF was used to extract features from LFPs recorded from the prefrontal cortex of four SpragueDawley rats during a memory task in a Y maze, with 10 trials for each rat. Then the powerincreased LFP components were selected as working memoryrelated features and the other components were removed. After that, the inverse operation of SNMF was used to study the encoding of working memory in the time frequency domain. We demonstrated that theta and gamma power increased significantly during the working memory task. The results suggested that postsynaptic activity was simulated well by the sparse activity model. The theta and gamma bands were meaningful for encoding working memory.展开更多

Based on the basis expansion model （BEM） of the channel, the joint-sparsity of MIMO-OFDM channels is described. The sparse characteristics enable us to cast the channel estimation as a distributed compressed sensing （DCS） problem. Then, a low complexity DCS-based estimation scheme is designed. Compared with the conventional compressed channel estimators based on the compressed sensing （CS） theory, the DCS-based method has an improved efficiency because it reconstructs the MIMO channels jointly rather than addresses them separately. Furthermore, the group-sparse structure of each single channel is also depicted. To effectively use this additional structure of the sparsity pattern, the DCS algorithm is modified. The modified algorithm can further enhance the estimation performance. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our method over fast fading channels in MIMO-OFDM systems.展开更多

The dimension of signal subspace can be reduced to improve the performance of channel estimation. The simplified version of original subspace fitting algorithm is employed to derive the sparse multipaths. In order to overcome the difficulty of termination condition, we consider it as a model identification problem and the set of nonzero paths is found under the generalized Akaike information criterion （GAIC）. The computational complexity can be kept very low under proper training design. Our proposed method is superior to other related schemes due to combining the procedure of selecting the most probable taps with GAIC model selection. Simulation in hilly terrain （HT） channel shows that the proposed method has an outstanding performance.展开更多

This paper aims to emulate realistic multi-Path propagation channels in terms of angles of arrivals (AoA) and cross-polarization ratio (XPR) with Rayleigh fading, inside an anechoic chamber, for antenna diversity measurements. In this purpose, a practical multi-probe anechoic chamber measurement system (MPAC) with 24 probe antennas (SATIMO SG24) has been used. However, the actual configuration of this system is not able to reproduce realistic channels. Therefore, a new method based on the control of the SG24 probes has been developed. At first time, this method has been validated numerically through the comparison of simulated and analytical AoA probability density distributions. At the second time, the performance of an antenna diversity system inside the SG24 has been performed in terms of the correlation coefficient and diversity gain (DG) using an antenna reference system. Simulated and measurements results have shown a good agreement.展开更多

Iterative channel estimation( ICE) can be used to refine channel estimation with limited number of pilots,by coupling the channel estimator with channel decoder. In this paper,various feedback strategies in ICE are discussed. The performance of a decision feedback based on the cost function is improved by modifying the design and another four feedback strategies are summarized,including hard/soft decision feedback and their threshold-controlled versions. Simulation results show that ICE can achieve impressive gains over the non-iterative receiver and the gains are more significant with fewer pilots. Furthermore,soft decision feedback outperforms hard decision feedback; while the feedback based on the cost function and soft decision feedback have quite close performance.展开更多

However, the excessive pilot overhead for the estima- tions severely reduces system throughput in fast-rotation scenarios. In order to address this problem, we firstly demonstrate the potential sparseness property of 60-GHz channel in beam tracking; subsequently, via exploiting this property, we propose a novel compressed SNR-and-channel estimation. The estimation is conducted in a three-stage fashion, includ- ing the unstructured estimation, nonzero-tap detection, and structured estimation with non- zero-tap location. Numerical simulations show that, in the case of substantial reduction of the pilot overhead, the proposed estimator still reveals a significant improvement in terms of estimation performance over the scheme in IEEE 802.1 lad. Furthermore, it is also demon- strated that the proposed SNR and channel estimators can approach the lower bounds in sparse channels so long as SNR exceeds 8 dB.展开更多

In order to address this problem, we firstly demonstrate the potential sparseness property of 60-GHz channel in beam tracking; subsequently, via exploiting this property, we propose a novel compressed SNR-and-channel estimation. The estimation is conducted in a three-stage fashion, includ- ing the unstructured estimation, nonzero-tap detection, and structured estimation with non- zero-tap location. Numerical simulations show that, in the case of substantial reduction of the pilot overhead, the proposed estimator still reveals a significant improvement in terms of estimation performance over the scheme in IEEE 802.1 lad. Furthermore, it is also demon- strated that the proposed SNR and channel estimators can approach the lower bounds in sparse channels so long as SNR exceeds 8 dB.

文摘Modulation recognition becomes unreliable at low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)over fading channel.A novel method is proposed to recognize the digital modulated signals with frequency and phase offsets over multi-path fading channels in this paper.This method can overcome the effects of phase offset,Gaussian noise and multi-path fading.To achieve this,firstly,the characteristic parameters search is constructed based on the cyclostationarity of received signals,to overcome the phase offset,Gaussian white noise,and influence caused by multi-path fading.Then,the carrier frequency of the received signal is estimated,and the maximum characteristic parameter is searched around the integer multiple carriers and their vicinities.Finally,the modulation types of the received signal with frequency and phase offsets are classified using decision thresholds.Simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed method is better than the traditional methods when SNR is over 5dB,and that the proposed method is robust to frequency and phase offsets over multipath channels.
