Asynchronous DS-CDMA detectors robust to timing errors
T. Ostman, Martin Kristensson, Björn Ottersten · 2002
An asynchronous DS-CDMA system with timing errors is considered. Two different approaches for dealing with the problem are presented. The first method is based on robustifying the MMSE estimator against timing errors. The second approach models the timing errors as an extra noise term and formulates the best linear unbiased estimator of the data symbols. Simulations of the bit error rate indicate that the two approaches have similar performance. However, the difference to non-robustified algorithms is large.
