Synchronization is a crucial task and big challenge for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems, especially in the presence of inter-symbol interference(ISI) and inter-frame interference (IFI). This paper proposes a blind synchronization and demodulation algorithm that is capable of mitigating ISI and IFI for noncoherent UWB system. Employing a series of codeword matching and averaging operations, the proposal...
In this paper, a novel synchronization algorithm dispensing with searching is proposed for UWB communications. By adopting a stream of alternating orthogonal pulses, frame-level synchronization can be achieved without training sequence involved. Without any searching procedure, the timing offset estimator is obtained in a closed form, therefore considerably reducing the synchronization time. Simulations...
Synchronization remains one of the biggest challenges in the ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio system. In this paper, a frame-level synchronization algorithm is proposed in differential transmitted reference (DTR) UWB systems in the multipath environment. The signal structure is judiciously designed with the aided data and m-sequence code. Enjoying the fine property of m-sequence autocorrelation...
Relying on judicious training symbols, we can construct a redundance-included demodulation template (RDT) from the received signal. When the RDT is available, there are two approaches to select. One is to demodulate transmitted symbols directly by the RDT, which does not require timing acquisition, and thereby has considerably lower complexity. The alternative is to first acquire the timing offset...
In this paper, a blind two-step synchronization algorithm is proposed for direct-sequence (DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems. In the first step, the start of individual frames is estimated via simple square, overlap-add operation and energy detection technique. Then the first frame in each symbol is identified by exploiting the randomicity of DS codes and information symbols at the second...
One of the biggest challenges in ultra-wideband (UWB) communications is the accurate and rapid timing acquisition for the receiver. This paper presents a timing acquisition scheme dispensing with searching for UWB communications. Without training sequence involved, timing offset parameter is estimated by exploiting a stream of alternating orthogonal pulses, and frame-level synchronization can be achieved...
A new probabilistic data association (PDA) approach is proposed for symbol detection in spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. By designing a joint detection (JD) structure for consecutive symbol vectors in the same transmit burst, more a priori information is exploited when updating the estimated posterior marginal probabilities for each symbol per iteration. Therefore...

A novel transmit-reference (TR) signaling scheme for UWB systems is proposed in this paper, where by invoking m-sequence codes the reference and data pulses are transmitted side by side to increase the data rate. This structure enables demodulation with a conventional correlation receiver despite existing server inter-pulse interference (IPI). For higher output SNR, an improved demodulation scheme...
In this paper, a novel quasi-4PPM modulation is presented firstly for UWB systems, and then the corresponding synchronization and demodulation schemes are proposed. Due to the nature of the unique signal structure, the information bits are transmitted and demodulated by twos, which doubles the transmission efficiency compared with conventional existing methods under the same condition. Besides, the...
