The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gap approximation provides a closed-form expression for the SNR required for a coded modulation system to achieve a given target error performance for a given constellation size. This approximation has been widely used …
In traditional multicarrier systems, the pilot carriers used to estimate the channel are placed as uniform as possible over the bandwidth. However, with the raise of cognitive radio systems, where the multicarrier system is used by the secondary …
This contribution deals with phase noise estimation from pilot symbols. The phase noise process is approximated by an expansion of discrete cosine transform (DCT) basis functions containing only a few terms. We propose a feedforward algorithm that …
As a multicarrier signal can exhibit large peaks in the time domain, the amplifier used to transmit the multicarrier signal must be highly linear, and thus expensive, to avoid non-linear signal distortion. To reduce the high peak-to-average power …
In this contribution, we propose a novel code-aided channel tracking and carrier frequency offset (CFO) and/or phase noise (PN) estimation algorithm for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Starting from the maximum-likelihood …
In this contribution, we propose a new code-aided synchronization and channel estimation algorithm for uplink MC-CDMA. The space alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm is used to estimate the channel impulse responses, …
