Dual Mode Channel Estimation for Coherent Detection of CDMA Uplink with Staggered Burst Pilot

概要

論文の詳細を見る
This paper proposes a new coherent CDMA channel structure for the uplink with staggered burst pilot and its detection algorithm. In the uplink, mobiles in a cell share a pilot channel by transmitting periodic bursts in nonoverlapping time slots, which enables coherent detection. We analyze the uplink capacity and derive the capacity formula. The dual mode channel estimator (DMCE) consists of pilot-based channel estimation (PBCE) and data-based channel estimation (DBCE). The proposed DMCE algorithm is very stable in the presence of Gaussian noise and Doppler shift because the pilot burst initiates the DMCE operation periodically. A negligible loss (0.068 dB) in E_b/N_0 results from the introduction of the burst pilot. When compared with ideal (0 km/h) coherent detection, the required E_b/N_0 in Doppler shift, corresponding to the speed of 160 km/h, is degraded less than 2.0 dB. The simulation result also shows increased channel capacity. The burst pilot can be implemented without added complexity even though some extra correlators are needed for the DMCE. This improvement is significant compared to previously published studies of coherent CDMA detectors with non-shared pilots.
