In this thesis, we have studied blind channel estimation methods for single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in time and frequency domain, in which the cross relation between the channel gains and a single snapshot of the received signal on each subcarrier is utilized. We have performed blind channel estimation for uncorrelated and correlated Rayleigh fading channel pairs using time and frequency methods in OFDM systems with one-transmitting, two-receiving antennas. Using time and frequency methods, blind channel estimation simulations have been run for different channel lengths, different number of subcarriers and different modulation schemes; i.e., QPSK and 16-QAM. Channel estimation results have been used to calculate the normalized root mean squared errors. Besides, using Zero Forcing (ZF) and Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) equalizers with Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimators in receiver side, we have estimated symbols that are used for transmission and bit error probabilities have been calculated with the estimated symbols. These simulations have been repeated with one-transmitting, three-receiving and one-transmitting, four-receiving antennas in order to observe the effect of antenna diversity over the SIMO-OFDM systems.

Dimension reduced robust beamforming for towed arrays Topçu, Emre; Candan, Çağatay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Adaptive beamforming methods are used to obtain higher signal to interference plus noise ratio at the array output. However, these methods are very sensitive to steering vector and covariance matrix estimation errors. To overcome this issue, robust methods are usually employed. On the other hand, implementation of these robust methods can be computationally expensive for arrays with large number of sensors. Reduced dimension techniques aim to lower the computational load of adaptive beamforming algorithms w...
Graph-based joint channel estimation and data detection for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems / Tekin, Şeref Yaşar; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this thesis, a graph-based soft iterative receiver for large-scale multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems is proposed that performs joint channel estimation and data detection over time-varying frequency selective channel. In an uplink scenario, factor graph structures for the transmitter of users and the receiver of base-station are presented, which provide Gaussian message passing between nodes. Instead of LLR, reliability information of symbols are used to decrease complexity of the proposed algorithm. Training ...
Frame synchronization in OFDM systems Gürsan, Hakan Yesari; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) In this thesis, we considered the problem of frame synchronization and channel estimation in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Since framing error may cause severe ISI and may disturb the orthogonality of the subcarriers, frame synchronization must be accomplished at the OFDM receiver. Furthermore, the effects of channel must be compensated to obtain the symbols accurately. We investigated several frame synchronization algorithms including a maximum likelihood (ML) synchronizer whic...
Indoor localization and tracking based on RSSI and accelerometer measurements Doğan, Melih; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Orguner, Umut; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this study, first, received signal strength (RSS) based indoor localization and tracking techniques including maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), Kalman Filter (KF), serial and parallel extended Kalman Filter (EKF) are investigated and their performances compared to each other via a simulation study. Later, sensor fusion with RSS and inertial measurement unit (IMU) for target tracking is discussed to improve accuracy of RSS-based tracking by using KF and EKF as fusion algorithms. Effects of channel para...
Out-of-band radiation and CFO immunity of potential 5G multicarrier modulation schemes Üçüncü, Ali Bulut; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this study, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) and windowed cyclic preﬁx circular offset quadrature amplitude modulation (WCP-COQAM), which are candidate physical layer modulation schemes for the 5G systems, are compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in terms of out-of-band (OOB) radiation levels and carrier frequency offset (CFO) immunity. GFDM and WCP- COQAM are shown to be superior to OFDM with respect to OOB emissions in some studies in literature. However, we c...
