Weight Tracking Method for OFDM Adaptive Array in Time Variant Fading Channel

Overview In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, in order to reduce the influence of Co-Channel Interference (CCI), Minimum Mean Square Error-Adaptive Array Antenna (MMSE-AAA) is attractive. To get the space diversity gain, the distance between adjacent elements should be set to be more than several wavelengths. However, it is difficult to derive the optimal weights with a few training symbols because fading status is independent in each element. As a result, Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is deteriorated. This paper proposes a novel weight tracking method to achieve space diversity gain and fast convergence with a few pilot symbols. In the proposed method, before updating the weights, channel estimation is applied to track the multipath fading of the desired signals.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Remember when flying was fun?

However, if you concatenate a series of very low cost biometrics that each gives you a poor error rate, it is possible to achieve a very high performance. For example: voice plus face plus finger recognition give a combined error rate around 10exp...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
