Turbo Receiver Design for Differentially Encoded PSK in Bursty Impulsive Noise Channels

Chin-Hung Chen, Boris Karanov, Wim van Houtom +2

It has been recognized that the impulsive noise (IN) generated by power devices poses significant challenges to wireless receivers. In this paper, we comprehensively assess the ach…

Blind Turbo Demodulation for Differentially Encoded OFDM with 2D Trellis Decomposition

Chin-Hung Chen, Yan Wu, Wim van Houtum +1

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)-like systems employ differentially encoded (DE) phase-shift keying (PSK) for transmission. While turbo-DE-PSK receivers offer substantial performan…

Phase-Aware Code-Aided EM Algorithm for Blind Channel Estimation in PSK-Modulated OFDM

Chin-Hung Chen, Ivana Nikoloska, Wim van Houtum +2

This paper presents a fully blind phase-aware expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for OFDM systems with the phase-shift keying (PSK) modulation. We address the well-known local…

Physics-Aware Initialization Refinement in Code-Aided EM for Blind Channel Estimation

Chin-Hung Chen, Ivana Nikoloska, Wim van Houtum +2

This paper addresses the well-known local maximum problem of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm in blind intersymbol interference (ISI) channel estimation. This problem pr…

Equivalence of Serial and Parallel A-Posteriori Probabilities in the Decoding of DAB Systems

Andrea Di Giusto, Wim van Houtum, Alberto Ravagnani +1

Motivated by applications to digital audio broadcasting (DAB) systems, we study the a-posteriori probabilities (APPs) of the coded and information bits of the serial concatenation…

Robust Blind Channel Estimation for Bursty Impulsive Noise with a Constrained EM Approach

Chin-Hung Chen, Ivana Nikoloska, Wim van Houtum +3

Impulsive noise (IN) commonly generated by power devices can severely degrade the performance of high sensitivity wireless receivers. Accurate channel state information (CSI) knowl…
