Hybrid position and orientation estimation for visible light systems in the presence of prior information on the orientation

Visible light communication (VLC) is seen as a potential access option for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication (Wang et al., 2014) and (Ayyash et al., 2016) and beyond 5G (Strinati et al., 2019). A reliable VLC system benefits from an …

LoRa signal synchronization and detection at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios

In recent years, LoRa has been deployed in countless Internet of Things (IoT) applications across the globe. However, as LoRa is a proprietary technology, research into its physical-layer performance has been challenging. Implementing LoRa on …

Simultaneous position and orientation estimation for visible light systems with multiple LEDs and multiple PDs

Visible light communication (VLC) is seen as a supplement for fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication in short-range high data rate communication applications [1]. A reliable VLC system relies on an accurate estimate of the position and …

Analysis and efficient evaluation of the BER of OSTBCs with imperfect channel estimation in arbitrarily correlated fading channels

An analysis of the exact bit error rate (BER) performance of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) with maximum-likelihood detection in the presence of channel estimation errors is presented. The possibly correlated coefficients of the …

Sequence estimation and synchronization from nonsynchronized samples

Recent advances in digital signal processing chips have motivated the study of algorithms for data detection and timing extraction that are easily digitally implemented. These algorithms operate on samples of the output of a matched-filter obtained …
