Injured fireman rescue is an emergent task in firefighting, where a rapid localization plays a significant role. For an indoor fire inside a building, a distributed system, i.e., a sensor network, can be preset surrounding the building for indoor positioning. However, for an accidental wildfire, it is intuitively impossible to preset this kind of on-site positioning system since the scene of this...
Phase noise is of importance in OFDM systems, since it generates intercarrier interference and general system performance degradation. In this paper we analyse the accuracy of maximum likelihood estimation of the phase noise bandwidth for OFDM systems. We utilize the auxiliary functions used in the EM algorithm to obtain an expression for the Fisher information matrix. Our key conclusion is that it...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation scheme of choice for digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) which is required to operate under high mobility conditions resulting in significant Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI). Under these conditions, the conventional one-tap per subcarrier channel estimation and equalization is suboptimal since it does not account for ICI...
In this paper, we study bandwidth management of a wireless/optical based access/metro network in support of voice and data services. For voice services, we use a finite state Markov Chain to estimate the blocking probability of voice circuits over an Adaptive modulation and coding wireless channel, as a function of the channel parameters. For data services, we evaluate a rate matching and a buffer...
Effects of improved channel estimation are studied for a proposed IEEE 802.11n OFDM MIMO system. Three channel estimation methods are considered: maximum likelihood (ML), time-domain truncation (TDT) and model-based (MB). TDT and MB are particularly useful when the channel delay spread is short. For an MMSE receiver, MB shows a 1-2.5 dB improvement over ML on the packet error rate performance for...
