An analysis of pilot symbol assisted modulation for Rayleigh fading channels (mobile radio)

TLDR
In this paper, the bit error rate in binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) and in quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), for a tight upper bound on the symbol error rate for 16-QAM was presented.
Abstract
The author presents pilot-symbol-assisted modulation (PSAM) on a solid analytical basis, a feature missing from previous work. Closed-form expressions are presented for the bit error rate (BER) in binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) and in quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK), for a tight upper bound on the symbol error rate in 16 quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16-QAM), and for the optimized receiver coefficients. The error rates obtained are lower than for differential detection for any combination of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Doppler spread, and the performance is within 1 dB of a perfect reference system under slow-fading conditions and within 3 dB when the Doppler spread is 5% of the symbol rate. >

Statistical transmit processing for enhanced MIMO channel estimation in presence of correlation

TL;DR: A novel pilot aided channel estimation scheme is considered for wireless MIMO systems in presence of fading correlation and it is demonstrated that adequate statistical shaping of the training sequence depending on the correlation properties of the channel can minimize the estimation of the mean squared error.

High user capacity collaborative code-division multiple access

TL;DR: A novel collaborative multi-user transmission and detection scheme for the uplink of code-division multiple access (CDMA) that exploits the differences between users' fading channel signatures to increase the user capacity well beyond the spreading length in multiple access interference (MAI) limited environment is proposed.

Optimal training for time-selective wireless fading channels using cutoff rate

TL;DR: This work considers the optimal allocation of resources—power and bandwidth—between training and data transmissions for single-user time-selective Rayleigh flat-fading channels under the cutoff rate criterion and derives the optimal resource allocation for the Gauss-Markov correlation model.

Rayleigh fading compensation method for 16QAM in digital land mobile radio channels

TL;DR: In this paper, a Rayleigh fading compensation method for 16-QAM was proposed, where second-order interpolation was used for the fading compensation, and the degradation due to the proposed fading compensation was about 2 dB.
