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. >

Pilot-aided rayleigh fading channel estimation using MMSE estimator for DS-CDMA system

TL;DR: A pilot-aided channel estimator for the direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) communication system based on the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimate of the attenuated antipodal transmitted signals in the presence of both fading and noise is developed.

Performance comparison of LS, LMMSE and Adaptive Averaging Channel Estimation (AACE) for DVB-T2

TL;DR: Simulations clearly show that the performance of the AACE-LS is superior to the conventional LS estimator and is near to theperformance of the LMMSE with no need of a prior knowledge of the statistics and the noise of the channel and thus if the channel is unknown to the receiver, the A ACE is a good choice.

Joint Source-Channel Coding for Image Transmission over Flat Fading Channels

TL;DR: This thesis considers transmission of images over a at fading channel using joint source-channel coding (JSCC) using nonlinear dimensional changing mappings, which results in a performance comparable to state-of-the-art systems but with less complexity.

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.
