Yayın Design of optimum nyquist signals based on generalized sampling theory for data communications(IEEE, Piscataway, NJ, United States, 1999-06) Panayırcı, Erdal; Özuğur, Timuçin; Çağlar, HakanA new method is given for the optimal design of bandlimited Nyquist-type signal shapes for data communications, which maximizes its energy in a given time interval. The method is based on the periodically nonuniform sampling (PNS) theory making use of the linear splines. The computation is straightforward, and the constraint for intersymbol interferrence is shown to be easy to include in the problem. A numerical example is given, and performance of the optimal signal shapes is compared with that resulting from the use of previously obtained signal shapes in the literature. It is also concluded that the optimal signal shapes thus obtained are almost immune to small offsets at the sampling instants.Yayın Maximum likelihood blind channel estimation for space-time coding systems(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2002-05) Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal; Çekli, ErdinçSophisticated signal processing techniques have to be developed for capacity enhancement of future wireless communication systems, In recent years, space-time coding is proposed to provide significant capacity gains over the traditional communication systems in fading wireless channels. Space-time codes are obtained by combining channel coding, modulation, transmit diversity, and optional receive diversity in order to provide diversity at the receiver and coding gain without sacrificing the bandwidth. In this paper, we consider the problem of blind estimation of space-time coded signals along with the channel parameters. Both conditional and unconditional maximum likelihood approaches are developed and iterative solutions are proposed. The conditional maximum likelihood algorithm is based on iterative least squares with projection whereas the unconditional maximum likelihood approach is developed by means of finite state Markov process modelling. The performance analysis issues of the proposed methods are studied. Finally, some simulation results are presented.Yayın Adaptive identification and equalization of magnetic recording channels(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998-03) Özden, Mehmet Tahir; Kayran, Ahmet Hamdi; Panayırcı, ErdalA new RLS adaptive Volterra filter is presented. The nonlinear filtering problem is transformed into an equivalent multichannel, but linear, filtering problem. The multichannel input signal is completely orthogonalized using sequential processing multichannel lattice stages. Thus, a fast convergent, highly modular and, simple filter with good numerical properties is designed. In the identification of magnetic recording channels, the filter identifies the channels directly and parameters for the channel nonlinearity are quantified simultaneously. In the equalization of magnetic channels, the most effective equalizer length can be assigned dynamically.Yayın Iterative channel estimation approach for space-time/frequency coded OFDM systems with transmitter diversity(Assoc Elettrotecnica Ed Elettronica Italiana, 2004-06) Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal; Doğan, HakanFocusing on transmit diversity orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission through frequency selective channels, this paper pursues novel iterative channel estimation approaches for both space-frequency OFDM (SF-OFDM) and space-time OFDM (ST-OFDM) systems. Relying on the unifying signal model for SF-OFDM and ST-OFDM transmitter diversity systems, we develop computationally efficient, maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation algorithms according to the MAP criterion. The algorithms require a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively using the expectation-maximisation (EM) method. In order to explore the performance, the closed-form expression for the average symbol error rate (SER) probability is derived for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC). Furthermore, to benchmark performance of the MAP channel estimator, the modified Cramer-Rao bound of channel estimates is also derived. Finally, we provide simulation results studying the influence of delay spread, propagation parameters and modelling mismatch on the performance of channel estimation techniques. Simulation results confirm our theoretical analysis and illustrate that the proposed algorithms are capable of tracking fast fading and improving overall performance.Yayın Linear expansions for frequency selective channels in OFDM(Elsevier GMBH, 2006) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, ErdalModeling the frequency selective fading channels as random processes, we employ a linear expansion based on the Karhumen-Loeve (KL) series representation involving a complete set of orthogonal deterministic vectors with a corresponding uncorrelated random coefficients. Focusing on OFDM transmissions through frequency selective fading, this paper pursues a computationally efficient, pilot-aided linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) uncorrelated KL series expansion coefficients estimation algorithm. Based on such an expansion, no matrix inversion is required in the proposed MMSE estimator. Moreover, truncation in the linear expansion of channel is achieved by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We first exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE. We also provide performance analysis results studying the influence of the effect of SNR and correlation mismatch on the estimator performance. Simulation results confirm our theoretical results and illustrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of tracking fast fading and improving performance.Yayın Maximum a posteriori multipath fading channel estimation for OFDM systems(Assoc Elettrotecnica Ed Elettronica Italiana, 2002-10) Panayırcı, Erdal; Çırpan, Hakan AliIn this paper, a non-data-aided maximum a posteriori (MAP) channel estimation technique for OFDM systems employing M-PSK modulation scheme is proposed. The technique requires a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve orthogonal expansion and estimates the complex channel parameters of each subcarriers iteratively in frequency domain using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. Pilot symbols are employed to choose reliable initial values of the unknown channel parameters. An analytical expression is derived for the exact Cramer-Rao lower bound of the proposed MAP channel estimator. Moreover, robustness of estimator to changes in channel correlation and signal-to-noise ratio is also analyzed. The performance is presented in terms of the mean-square error and the uncoded symbol error rate for a system employing QPSK signaling. Computer simulations demonstrate that the performance of OFDM systems using coherent demodulation based on our channel estimation can be significantly improved.Yayın Sequence estimation with transmit diversity for wireless communications(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2003) Panayırcı, Erdal; Aygölü, Hasan Ümit; Pusane, Ali EmreIn this paper, an optimum sequence estimation algorithm for wireless systems with Alamouti's two transmitter diversity in the presence of multipath fading is proposed. The algorithm is based on a jointly iterative channel and sequence estimation according to the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion, using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm employing an M-level phase-shift keying (M-PSK) modulation scheme with additive Gaussian noise. The discrete multipath channel is represented in terms of the channel gains from each transmit antenna to the receive antenna. EM algorithm estimates jointly the complex channel parameters of each channel and the data sequence transmitted, iteratively, which converges to the true ML solution. The channel estimation is achieved in a simple way through the iterative equations by decoupling of the signals transmitted from different antennas. The algorithm is applied to the trellis coded modulation systems and the efficiency of the algorithm proposed has been shown with computer simulations. The simulation results show that the EM algorithm converges quickly for fast fading channels. The performance of the EM-based decoder approaches that of the ML receiver which has perfect knowledge of the channel.Yayın Joint channel tracking and symbol detection for OFDM systems with Kalman filtering(Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2003) Şen, Adnan; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, ErdalThis paper proposes a new joint channel tracking and symbol detection scheme for pilot symbol-assisted OFDM systems in multipath fading. The proposed scheme uses Kalman filters for both channel tracking and subsequent equalization which are combined in the coupled estimator structure. Modelling the multipath fading channel as random processes to describe channel variations in a general AR framework lends itself to a state-space representation that enables the application of Kalman filtering for the tracking of channel variations. However, the proposed tracking algorithm requires knowledge of the transmitted symbols. This implies that an iterative method should be sought to obtain alternatively either channel or transmitted symbols. To compose the coupled estimator structure, a linear Kalman filter equalizer with the corresponding state-space model is therefore proposed for the detection of transmitted symbols. With the proposed Kalman filters, iterative structure is utilized to decode transmitted symbols and subsequently to track channel parameters. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is investigated through the experimental results.Yayın Non-data-aided ML carrier frequency and phase synchronization in OFDM systems(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001-04) Panayırcı, Erdal; Georghiades, Costas N.; Huq, Ayesha T.In this paper non-data-aided(NDA), maximum likelihood(ML) algorithms are derived for the carrier frequency and phase offset, separately, for OFDM systems employing M-PSK modulation scheme. NDA ML estimation algorithm for frequency offset estimation exploits the redundant information contained in the cyclic prefix preceeding the OFDM symbols, thus reducing the need for pilots. Its mean-squared performance is obtained analytically and compared with simulation results. It is observed that the resulting algorithm generates very accurate estimation even when the offset is high. It is also shown that the frequency estimator may be used in a tracking mode. The ML algorithm derived for the carrier phase estimation is also a non-data-aided(NDA) and maximizes the low SNR limit of the likelihood function averaged over M-PSK signal constellation. It is shown that for sufficiently small SNR the ML phase estimator obtained reduces to the familiar Mth order power synchronizer which belongs to the class of NDA feedforward carrier synchronizers introduced earlier in the literature. Its mean-squared performance is obtained analytically and compared with simulation results. We observe that the resulting algorithm generates very accurate estimation even when the phase offset is high, that the self noise is absent and the performance of the algorithm is basically the same as the Cramer-Rao bound for moderate to high SNR. Finally we note that the error variance derived for the mean-squared performance of this NDA ML synchronizer is an extension of the approximate variance formula appeared in Reference 20,equation(14) for M-PSK.Yayın Feature extraction in shape recognition using segmentation of the boundary curve(Elsevier Science BV, 1997-10) Özuğur, Timuçin; Denizhan, Yağmur; Panayırcı, ErdalWe present a new method for feature extraction of two-dimensional shape information based on segmentation of the boundary curve. This approach partitions closed shapes into segments and finds their angular spans. The number of segments and the angular spans form the first two feature parameters of a given shape. Fourier coefficients of all segments constitute the final feature parameters. The algorithm renders the shapes independent of scale, rotation and translation, The main advantage of this method is to speed up substantially the recognition process of the shapes, mainly because it is possible to design the classification rule in a hierarchical way. It is therefore suitable for objects to be sorted in a factory environment where the silhouette boundary supplies sufficient information for identification.
