Performance analysis of an indoor UWB ranging system

To evaluate the ranging performance of impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) signals, an exper-iment is performed in a typical indoor environment. In order to mitigate the ranging error caused by theoretical algorithm and practical circuits, one way-time difference of the arrival (OW-TDOA) ranging method and corre-sponding approaches are proposed and carried out according to the structure of UWB transceivers. Generalized maximum likelihood (GML) estimator based on energy detection is applied for the time of arrival estimation. The obtained results show that this UWB ranging system can achieve a relative high ranging accuracy in a multipath environment (e.g. About 5 cm at ranges up to 6 m), which is practical and meaningful for many sensor applications.     

New HB-weighted time delay estimation algorithm under impulsive noise environment

The traditional HB-weighted time-delay estimation （TDE） method degenerates under the impulsive noise environment. Two new time-delay estimation methods are proposed based on fractional lower order statistics （FLOS） according to the impulsive characteristics of fractional lower order α-stable noises. Theoretic analysis and computer simulations indicate that the proposed covariation based HB weighted （COV-HB） algorithm can suppress impulsive noises in one received signal for 1 ≤α≤ 2, whereas the other proposed fractional lower order eovariancebased HB weighted （FLOC-HB） algorithm has robust performance under arbitrary impulsive noise conditions for the whole range of 0 〈α≤ 2.     

Performance analysis of Turbo-Codes in communication channels with impulsive noise

Performance of Turbo-Codes in communication channels with impulsive noise is analyzed. First, mathematical model of impulsive noise is presented because it has non-Gaussian nature and is found in many wireless channels due to impulsive phenomena of radio-frequency interference. Then, with linear Log-MAP decoding algorithm for its low complexity, Turbo-Codes are adopted and analyzed in such communication channels. To confirm the performance of the proposed method, simulations on both static and fully interleaved fiat Rayleigh fading channels with impulsive noise have been carried out. It is shown that Turbo-Codes have a better performance than the conventional methods (e.g. convolutionally coded system).
