Turbo synchronization: an EM algorithm interpretation
Nele Noels,Cédric Herzet,A. Dejonghe,Vincenzo Lottici,Heidi Steendam,Marc Moeneclaey,Marco Luise,Luc Vandendorpe +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown how maximum-likelihood estimation of those synchronization parameters can be implemented by means of the iterative expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and how the EM algorithm iterations can be combined with those of a turbo receiver, leading to a general theoretical framework for turbo synchronization.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical framework for soft-information-based synchronization in iterative (Turbo) receivers
Nele Noels,Vincenzo Lottici,A. Dejonghe,Heidi Steendam,Marc Moeneclaey,Marco Luise,Luc Vandendorpe +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to show that such "turbo-estimation" approach can be regarded as a special case of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and lead to a general theoretical framework for turbo synchronization that allows to derive parameter estimation procedures for carrier phase and frequency offset, as well as for timing offset and signal amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Code-Aided Turbo Synchronization
Cédric Herzet,Nele Noels,Vincenzo Lottici,Henk Wymeersch,Marco Luise,Marc Moeneclaey,Luc Vandendorpe +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to show how the many turbo-synchronization algorithms that have already appeared in the literature can be cast into a simple and rigorous theoretical framework and evaluates improvement that can be obtained from them, especially in the low-SNR regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
True Cramer-Rao bound for timing recovery from a bandlimited linearly Modulated waveform with unknown carrier phase and frequency
TL;DR: Comparison of the true Cramer-Rao bound to existing symbol synchronizer performance reveals that decision-directed timing recovery is close to optimum for moderate-to-large signal- to-noise ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cramer-Rao bound for phase estimation from coded linearly modulated signals
TL;DR: This letter expresses the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for carrier phase estimation from a noisy linearly modulated signal with encoded data symbols, in terms of the marginal a posteriori probabilities (APPs) of the coded symbols.
