Cross-ambiquity function domain multipath channel parameter estimation
Cataloged from PDF version of article.A new array signal processing technique is proposed to estimate the direction-of-arrivals (DOAs), time delays, Doppler shifts and amplitudes of a known waveform impinging on an array of antennas from several distinct paths. The proposed technique detects the presence of multipath components by integrating cross-ambiguity functions (CAF) of array outputs, hence, it is called as the cross-ambiguity function direction finding (CAF-DF). The performance of the CAF-DF technique is compared with the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) and the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) techniques as well as the Cramer-Rao lower bound. The CAF-DF technique is found to be superior in terms of root-mean-squared-error (rMSE) to the SAGE and MUSIC techniques. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
An Empirical Air-to-Ground Channel Model Based on Passive Measurements in LTE
In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for
unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) channels is introduced. The downlink signals of
an in-service long-time-evolution (LTE) network which is deployed in a suburban
scenario were acquired. Five horizontal and five vertical flight routes were
considered. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the
received data by exploiting the cell specific signals (CRSs). Based on the
CIRs, the parameters of multipath components (MPCs) are estimated by using a
high-resolution algorithm derived according to the space-alternating
generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) principle. Based on the SAGE
results, channel characteristics including the path loss, shadow fading, fast
fading, delay spread and Doppler frequency spread are thoroughly investigated
for different heights and horizontal distances, which constitute a stochastic
model.Comment: 15 pages, submitted version to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

Position and Orientation Estimation through Millimeter Wave MIMO in 5G Systems
Millimeter wave signals and large antenna arrays are considered enabling
technologies for future 5G networks. While their benefits for achieving
high-data rate communications are well-known, their potential advantages for
accurate positioning are largely undiscovered. We derive the Cram\'{e}r-Rao
bound (CRB) on position and rotation angle estimation uncertainty from
millimeter wave signals from a single transmitter, in the presence of
scatterers. We also present a novel two-stage algorithm for position and
rotation angle estimation that attains the CRB for average to high
signal-to-noise ratio. The algorithm is based on multiple measurement vectors
matching pursuit for coarse estimation, followed by a refinement stage based on
the space-alternating generalized expectation maximization algorithm. We find
that accurate position and rotation angle estimation is possible using signals
from a single transmitter, in either line-of- sight, non-line-of-sight, or
obstructed-line-of-sight conditions.Comment: The manuscript has been revised, and increased from 27 to 31 pages.
