This paper first proposes a computationally efficient pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) batch channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems in unknown wireless fading channels. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and finds MMSE estimates of the uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients. Based on such an expansion no matrix inversion is required in the proposed ...

Successive relaying has recently emerged as an effective technique for cooperative networks and provides significant improvements in bandwidth efficiency over traditional relaying techniques ;however to achieve full-diversity the available successive relaying protocols generally assume noise-free sourcerelay and interference-free inter-relay channels. In this paper a novel successive relaying protocol is proposed for N-relay wireless networks by removing these optimistic assumptions. The proposed ...

Communication by means of visible light is a newly developing technology that has been brought up as an alternative to the current electromagnetic based communication systems. The recently conducted studies led to the use of LED Technology for illumination purposes and for this technology to have an edge over devices that consume excessive energy as presently being used by us. LED technology is predicted to become an important part of illumination systems especially in consideration of the low ...

This paper is concerned with a challenging problem of channel estimation for amplify-and-forward cooperative relay based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of sparse underwater acoustic channels and of the correlative non-Gaussian noise. We exploit the sparse structure of the channel impulse response to improve the performance of the channel estimation algorithm due to the reduced number of taps to be estimated. The resulting novel algorithm initially estimates ...

The quality of multiple access interference (MAI) which can be improved by using channel estimation and data estimation of all active users effects considerably the performance of PIC detector. Therefore data and channel estimation performance is obtained in the initial stage has a significant relationship with the performance of PIC. So obviously it is necessary to make excellent joint data and channel estimation for initialization of PIC detector. In this work to initiate PIC module efficiently ...

in this thesis game theoretic utility-based adaptive power control algorithm for uplink of femtocell networks is performed for mitigation of interference in two different ways. The first one is allocation of femtocell interference threshold in randomly activated femtocell base stations in a known macrocell coverage area and the second one is adaptation of the power of the femtocell users for mitigating total interference from femtocell users at the macrocell base station. Accordingly we consider ...

Spatial Modulation (SM) based on the use of antenna indices to transmit information in addition to the conventional signal constellations has been recently proposed to solve practical problems encountered in MIMO systems. In the literature estimation of CSI for SM systems is simply investigated by RLS for slow fading channels. However iterative receivers that offer significant performance gains over a non-iterative when the total number of pilot is not sufficient and the channel is fast fading ...

This paper is concerned with joint multiuser detection and multichannel estimation (JDE) for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of frequency selective channels. The detection and estimation implemented at the receiver are based on a version of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm and the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) which are very suitable for multicarrier signal formats. The EM-JDE receiver updates the data ...

Rapidly time-varying and random disturbing effects on the phase of a signal waveform are known as phase noise. In this paper we consider the problem of joint detection of continuous-valued information source output and estimation of a phase noise by using expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. In order to estimate phase noise initial phase noise values are determined by cubic interpolation that utilizes pilot symbols. Computer simulations are performed for the proposed algorithm and the average ...
