Digital communication receivers P14

Parameter Synchronization for Flat Fading Channels In Chapters 14 and 15, important aspects of digital receiver synchronization for fading channels are discussed. The two sections of Chapter 14 concentrate on linear sync parameter estimation for the flat fading case, i.e., flat fading channel estimation. The derivation of many of the algorithms presented here draws from the ideas and results of Chapter 12. However, while the optimal algorithms of Chapter 12 are, in most situations of interest, far too complex to realize, we shall now turn our attention to reduced-complexity yet close-to-optimal synchronizer structures and algorithms that can actually be implemented using...
