A rapid synchronization method is presented for an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system using either a continuous transmission or a burst operation over a frequency-selective… (More)
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is robust against frequency selective fading due to the increase of the symbol duration. However, for mobile applications channel time-variations in… (More)
This letter addresses the effect of timing synchronization errors that are introduced by an erroneous detection of the start of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol. Throughout… (More)

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems can provide high data rate wireless services in a rich scattering environment. In this paper we study one of the proposals for MIMO systems, the Bell… (More)
Good estimates of local mean signal power level are needed by wireless cellular systems for use in channel access, power control and handoff. Many systems today use weighted sample average estimators… (More)
Multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) systems have the potential to achieve very high capacities, depending on the propagation environment. Capacity increases as signal correlation decreases. We… (More)
In this letter, we propose tight performance upper bounds for convolutional codes terminated with an input sequence of finite length. To obtain the upper bounds, a weight enumerator is defined to… (More)
