Abstract:
This paper studies the bit-error rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped
(FFH) binary frequency-shift-keying (BFSK) clipper receiver in the
presence of multitone jamming~(MTJ) and additive white Gaussian noise
(AWGN). By using the Taylor-series expansion and the quantization approach,
the BER expressions for higher diversity levels can be obtained without
much extra computational complexity. The analytical BER results, validated
by simulations, show that there is an optimum diversity level for the
clipper receiver. Performance comparisons among various receivers demonstrate
that the BER performance of the clipper receiver is significantly better
than that of the linear-combining receiver. In addition, the clipper
receiver also outperforms the product-combining receiver and the self-normalizing
receiver provided that the clipping threshold is set at the desired
signal power level.

Abstract:
The problem to track time-varying parameters in cellular radio systems
is studied, and the focus is on estimation based only on the signals
that are readily available. Previous work have demonstrated very good
performance, but were relying on analog measurement that are not available.
Most of the information is lost due to quantization and sampling at
a rate that might be as low as 2 Hz (GSM case). For that matter a Maximum
Likelihood estimator have been designed and exemplified in the case
of GSM. Simulations indicate good performance, both when most parameters
are varying slowly, and when subject to fast variations as in realistic
cases. Since most computations take place in the base stations, the
estimator is ready for implementation in a second generation wireless
system. No update of the software in the mobile stations is needed.

Abstract:
The effect of carrier frequency on the performance of an MC-CDMA (Multi-Carrier
Code Division Multiple Access) system is considered. Bit error probability
of the downlink of this system is analyzed taking into the effect of
frequency offset. This paper will be focused on the derivation of the
bit error probability mathematically. Derived results show that the
performance of MC-CDMA is very sensitive even to a relatively minute
degree of frequency offset. Parameters such as degree of carrier offset,
number of subcarriers, number of users, method of combining, and type
of channel will be varied so that the influence of each parameter can
be assessed

Abstract:
In case of a strong frequency modulated interference in a spread spectrum
communication system, the interference can be effectively suppressed
by applying a time-varying notch filter with its zero(s) placed at
an instantaneous frequency (IF) estimate of the interference. In this
paper, we present the use of a time-varying autoregressive model based
IF estimator in such a scenario. We model the received signal with
an autoregressive model whose coefficients are time-varying and modeled
as a combination of a set of known functions of time. The IF of the
interference is estimated from the model. It is demonstrated that this
method provides superior performance compared to using a time-frequency
distribution. The comparison reveals that the Wigner-Ville Distribution
peak based IF estimator suffers drawbacks such that its filtering gain
is limited.

Abstract:
The presence of non-linear devices in several communication channels,
such as satellite channels, causes distortions of the transmitted signal.
These distortions are more severe for non-constant envelope modulations
such as 16-QAM. Over the last years Neural Networks (NN) have emerged
as competitive tools for linear and non-linear channel equalization.
However, their main drawback is often slow convergence speed which
results in poor tracking capabilities. The present paper combines simple
NN structures with conventional equalizers. The NN techniques are shown
to efficiently approximate the optimal decision boundaries which results
in good symbol error rate (SER) performance. The paper gives simulation
examples (in the context of satellite mobile channels) and compares
neural network approaches to classical equalization techniques.

Abstract:
Privacy and security of radio communications becomes increasingly important.
In this context, modulation techniques with embedded scrambling properties
are suitable. The aim of this paper is to present a new transmitting
technique using Linear Time Varying Filters with hopping in the frequency
domain.

Abstract:
In this paper we investigate source controlled channel decoding with
a hard output channel decoder. Various methods have been devised in
the past for source controlled channel decoding, but most of them assume
that a soft output channel decoder is used. Most receivers in mobile
wireless communications have a standard Viterbi channel decoder which
produces only hard outputs. It is shown that a simple sliding histogram
is capable of improving the speech quality significantly. The ideas
and methods in this paper are applied for the full-rate and enhanced
full-rate speech codecs in the GSM system.

Abstract:
Predistortion in GSM has been introduced to deal with saturation in
amplification at Base Transceiver Stations (BTS). This paper will focus
on the elements and architectures in signal predistortion for mone
carrier and multicarrier modulations. The GCMAC neural network has
been introduced as predistorter to provide the design with adaptive,
digital and practical features. Some results are included. These results
show how the predistortion architectures proposed allows working in
saturation regimen. This point is important since it gives flexibility
in reassignment of cells by increasing the coverage when necessary.
It also improves amplification characteristics avoiding co-channel
interference, aging, intermodulation distortion, etc.

Abstract:
In an optical channel for a digital holographic data storage system,
burst errors, in the form of severe amplitude compression, are experienced
in the vicinity of dust and other optical aberrations in the channel.
The locations of these burst errors are approximately fixed over a
range of perturbations in magnification and vertical-horizontal position.
In a calibrated channel, lower error rates can be realized by allocating
energy in the modulation code based on a measurement of the approximate
location of these effects. This paper discusses theoretical bounds
on the energy inside the distortion region, and the modulation code
which is used to approach this bound.
