Rapid variation of channel coefficients is one of the most challenging problems in wireless communication. To provide and keep communication in desired quality, channel coefficients should be estimated continuously. This can be made by using pilot symbols between data blocks which are known by the transmitter and receiver. The channel coefficients between pilot symbols can be estimated by interpolation but this method has a disadvantage in fast fading channels since the channel coefficient estimates have better quality around the pilot blocks than away from them. To solve this problem, we propose to extend the pilot block by making use of the soft information produced by channel decoder. We track the channel estimates in time by the LMS algorithm bidirectionally so that we can estimate coefficients more accurately by interpolation . We also introduce a new interleaver which divides the bits into subregions based on their proximity to pilot blocks and permutes them within their own region.

In wireless communications, knowledge of the channel coefficients is required for coherent demodulation. In this thesis, a blind channel estimation method based on the Lloyd-Max algorithm is proposed for single-tap fading channels. The algorithm estimates the constellation points for the received signal using an iterative least squares approach.

Detection of symbols in the presence of many interference sources is a difficult task in wireless channels. It is obligatory to reduce the interference for reliable communication. In this dissertation, minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection is investigated to suppress interference. Faster Than Symbol Rate (FTSR) sampling and Frequency Domain Oversampling (FDO) methods are proposed to enhance the interference suppression level of MMSE detection for both single user and multiuser communication. The aim of...

Design of a reduced complexity rateless spinal decoder
Taş, Murat; Diker Yücel, Melek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Wireless communication systems utilize several forward error correcting techniques to cope with changing channel conditions efficiently. One way is selecting from a list of coding/modulation schemes by considering the actual channel state. When this approach of choosing a fixed rate code is not applicable, one can use rateless codes whose rates are dynamically changing with respect to the changing channel conditions. A rateless encoder continues to send its codeword/packet to the destination unless the rece...
Graph based iterative detection and channel estimation for sparse frequency selective channels
Kaygusuz, Ahmet Baran; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
The wireless channel is not only susceptible to noise and interference but also other channel impediments like multipath spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, and these impediments may change over time. Iterative receiver structures are commonly studied and utilized as they can be very effective in mitigating detrimental effects of the wireless channel. Iterative detection that performs decoding and estimation jointly can be realized in various ways. However, some methods depend on the memory of the channe...
