Turbo iterative acquisition algorithm for satellite high-mobility DSSS signal by Chunxiao JIANG, Jiawei WANG

“…To solve the problems of the low acquisition probability and high computational complexity in satellite high-mobility communications, a new factor graph was designed for acquisition of the high-mobility direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal, where time-varying Doppler rates were modeled by the random walk model.Based on the proposed factor graph, the turbo iterative DSSS signal acquisition algorithm was proposed.In the Doppler-estimation loop, the negative influence of Doppler frequency offsets and Doppler rates could be eliminated effectively.Then in the code-detection loop, constraints of each chip was used to recover the received signal, to achieve DSSS signal acquisition.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving the acquisition performance at less 1.3 dB with low computational complexity.…”

Reconstruction of sparse check matrix for LDPC at high bit error rate by Zhaojun WU, Limin ZHANG, Zhaogen ZHONG, Renxin LIU

“…In order to reconstruct the sparse check matrix of LDPC, a new algorithm which could directly reconstruct the LDPC was proposed.Firstly, according to the principle of the traditional reconstruction algorithm, the defects of the traditional algorithm and the reasons for the defects were analyzed in detail.Secondly, based on the characteristics of sparse matrix, some bit sequences in code words were randomly extracted for Gaussian elimination.At the same time, in order to reliably realize that the extracted bits sequence could contain parity check nodes, the multiple random variables were determined based on the probability of containing check nodes in one extraction.Finally, the statistical characteristics of LDPC under the suspected check vector was analyzed.Based on the minimum error decision rule, the sparse check vector was determined.The simulation results show that the rate of reconstruction of most LDPC in IEEE 802.11 protocol can reach more than 95% at BER of 0.001, and the noise robustness of the proposed method is better than that of the traditional algorithm.At the same time, the new algorithm not only does not need sparseness of parity check matrix, but also has the good performance for both diagonal and non-diagonal check matrix.…”
