Athaudage, Chandranath R. N. & Jayalath, Dhammika (2003) A novel RMS delay-spread estimation technique for wireless OFDM systems.

This paper presents a novel RMS delay-spread estimation technique for wireless OFDM systems in exponentially decaying multipath power-delay channels. The technique utilizes a correlation function evaluated over the cyclic-prefix of the OFDM signal. The RMS delay-spread is estimated by means of a minimum mean-squared-error (MMSE) fitting between the observed correlation function and its theoretical expectation. Estimation of the symbol timing and frequency offset parameters is also inherent in the technique. Simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the technique for the cases of (i) with perfect synchronization, and (ii) with synchronization error. In particular, it is shown that an RMS estimation error as low as 1-2 samples can be achieved for RMS delay-spread, for high channel SNR values (>15 dB). Pilot-symbol-assisted OFDM channel estimation techniques, which require the RMS delay-spread of the wireless channel for optimal frequency domain channel response interpolation, can be benefited by the proposed technique.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from and citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from theindexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
