Higher Order Cumulants for Identification and Equalization of Multicarrier Spreading Spectrum Systems, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2011, nr 2

This paper describes two blind algorithms for multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system equalization. In order to identify, blindly, the impulse response of two practical selective frequency fading channels called broadband radio access network (BRAN A and BRAN E) normalized for MC-CDMA systems, we have used higher order cumulants (HOC) to build our algorithms. For that, we have focussed on the experimental channels to develop our blind algorithms able to simulate the measured data with high accuracy. The simulation results in noisy environment and for different signal to noise ratio (SNR) demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are able to estimate the impulse response of these channels blindly (i.e., without any information about the input), except that the input excitation is i.i.d. (identically and independent distributed) and non-Gaussian. In the part of MC-CDMA, we use the zero forcing and the minimum mean square error equalizers to perform our algorithms. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms

Channel Identification Using Chaos for an Uplink/Downlink Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access System, Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2010, nr 1

A scheme of chaotic spreading sequence for multicarrier code division multiple access system (MC-CDMA) is proposed to estimate the transmission channel. This system spreads spectrum and identifies the channel, simultaneously. The proposed scheme uses a chaotic sequence generated by a logistic map as a training signal and estimate channel parameters according to dynamics of the chaotic sequence. Encoding data by chaotic sequences is first built and then the orthogonal codes are used to spread the encrypted data for multiusers scheme. At the reception, first the channel parameters are identified using a training chaotic sequence in order to equalize the received data, and then the encrypted information is decoded for the desired user. The studies reveal that the proposed system (chaos plus orthogonal codes) significantly outperforms the Walsh-Hadamard code spreading in MC-CDMA system. The performance of the system is considered in the multiuser case by means of simulation. The simulation result shows that the proposed chaotic code spreading approach for channel identification achieves significant improvement in the channel identification, comparing to using others training sequence or the least square method

Observer for Nonlinear Systems with Time-Varying Delays: Application to a Two-Degrees-of-Freedom Helicopter

This paper deals with the problem of the estimation of non-uniformly nonlinear systems with time-varying delays in the state and input. In addition, the problem of the sampled output measurement is also been addressed. Thus, an observer design for a class of uncertain, non-uniformly nonlinear systems in the presence of time-varying delay is proposed. A continuous–discrete observer based on a high-gain approach is designed to achieve undelayed estimation. Thus, sufficient conditions to ensure the convergence of the observer are obtained. The analysis is based on a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, which shows that the bounded observation error depends on the sizes of the known upper delay and the upper sampling rate. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by considering a control-based observer for a two-degrees-of-freedom helicopter system with a known time-varying delay and sampled output measurements
