We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

This paper developed a FIR-Rake receiver which makes use of a pilot signal broadcast by the TD-SCDMA (division-synchronous code division multiple access) base station to estimate the channel parameters. The FIR-Rake receiver can reduce multipath interference for the mobile stations. The analysis in frequency and discrete domain and computer simulations confirm that the proposed FIR-Rake receiver achieves a better performance under typical multipath fading propagation conditions.

In this paper, we proposed adaptive MMSE receiver, which use channel equalizer to eliminate the interference due to multi-path fading and adaptive filter to eliminate the multiple access interference. The unique features of proposed receiver schemes are as following. We use pilot channel to estimate the channel coefficients exactly and guard symbols which are inserted periodically to estimate channel coefficients exactly without interference from user signals. The length of channel equalizer also can be reduced with the help of guard symbols. Especially utilizing adaptive code-matched filter(AMMSE) when the user population is high and SNR is not low we accepts excellent performance improvement.

In this paper, we propose the iterative receiver for LDPC-coded OFDMA systems in uplink environments. Applying the Wiener filtering to pilot symbols, an initial channel estimation can be performed effectively. To reduce the complexity of the Wiener filtering, we approximate Wiener filtering coefficients to pre-determined coefficients according to estimated correlation of channel. After an LDPC decoding process, soft symbol derived by extrinsic information of decoder outputs is used to estimate channel. we also derive the error variance of channel estimation and maximum ratio combined results. Using combined results, the channel correlation is re-estimated. Then the proper Wiener filtering coefficients are chosen according to the re-estimated result of the channel correction. Using a computer simulation, we show that the proposed receiver structure has the better performance than the receiver using only pilot symbols.

DS-CDMA downlink distinguishes actual user by orthogonal spreading codes ,but its orthogonality may be lost by the multiple access interference(MAI) caused by the multipath channel. Therefore in this paper, we proposed the single-user receiver, which use linear channel equalizer to eliminate the interference due to multipath channel and to recover orthogonality and then use code-matched filter to detect transmitted data. Unlike existing research, which mainly assumed ideal channel information, we use pilot channel assisted methods that is a kind of transmission of a parallel reference method to estimate the channel coefficients. Especially we use guard symbols which are inserted periodically to estimate channel coefficients exactly without interference from user signal. The results show that we accepted an approximately ideal channel information and achieved excellent performance improvement using proposed receiver compared with the conventional receiver especially user populations are high.

In this paper a sequence estimator of CDMA communication system is suggested. A sequence estimator uses Galois Field operation. A sequence estimator can provide another CDMA pilot signal which is un-modulated spreaded signal. A estimated sequence signal and received signal have no correlation. Tow signals can be summed using MRC(maximal ratio combine) method. The stronger signal can be added as a larger ratio, but the weaker signal can be added as a smaller ratio. We can distinguish strong signal using SNR estimator. Therefore it is possible to receive an additional pilot signal, and to support more reliable communications by using sequence estimator.

Doubly-selective channel estimator for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) systems is proposed in this paper. Based on the generalized complex exponential basis expansion model(GCE-BEM), we describe the time-variant channel with time-invariant coefficients over multiple OFDM blocks. The time variation of the channel destroys the orthogonality between subcarriers, and the resulting channel matrix in the frequency domain is no longer diagonal, but the main interference comes from the near subcarriers. Based on this, we propose a channel estimator with low pilot ratio. We first develop a least-square(LS) estimator under the assumption that only the maximum Doppler frequency and the channel order are known at the receiver, and then verify that the correlation matrix of inter-channel interference(ICI) is a scaled identity matrix based on which we derive an optimal pilot insertion scheme for the LS estimator in the sense of minimum mean square error. The proposed estimator has the advantages of low pilot ratio and robustness against inter-carrier interference.

The structure of MMSE receiver frontended by CMA array working in CDMA forward link is proposed. By using the despreaded pilot signal of forward link as a reference signal, CMA array can capture multi-path signals securely even in severely faded mobile channel. The remaining MAl (Multiple Access Interference) is cancelled by the cascaded MMSE receiver. Through computer simulation, it is proved that the proposed system shows much better BER performance than any other systems. As a mobile based spatio-temporal receiver, the proposed system also reduces implemental cost and complexity by adopting the simplest algorithm for its spatial and temporal domain processing.

This paper proposes an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform for the forward link of a fixed broadband satellite system. We focus on the synchronization tasks in the receiver. Our objective is to minimize the required overhead, in order to improve the spectral efficiency with regard to a single carrier waveform system. A non pilot aided algorithm is used for fine synchronization. It is preceded by a coarse synchronization stage, which relies on a limited overhead (short cyclic prefix associated to some pilots). The performance of the proposed receiver is assessed through simulation results.

The structure of MMSE receiver front-ended by CMA(Constant Modulus Array) array working in CDMA forward link which is applicable to LEO spread spectrum satellite communication system is proposed. By using the despreaded pilot signal of forward link as a reference signal, the CMA array can capture multi-path signals securely even in severely faded LEO satellite channel. The remaining MAI (Multiple Access Interference) is cancelled by the cascaded MMSE receiver. Besides theoretical development, through relevant computer simulation, it is proved that the proposed system shows much better BER performance than any other possible candidate systems. As a spatio-temporal receiver mounted on a mobile vehicle, the proposed system also reduces implemental cost and complexity by adopting the simplest algorithm for its spatial and temporal domain processing.
