Delay Estimation in DS-CDMA Communication Using Conjugate Descent Algorithm
Xiaohui Li, Wei Gao, Hongwei Zhang · 2008
In this paper, we propose a method for DS-CDMA delay estimation through the use of the downlink channel character. This method is based on Independent Component Analysis using the conjugate descent algorithm to estimate the multi-path mixture matrix and find the delay information which is embodied by the column vector of the mixture matrix using both the independence of information source and the known spread spectrum code. The simulation results show that it has better estimated effect and enhance the performance of traditional detector comparing with MMSE and Fast-ICA algorithm.
