Title
CDMA downlink code acquisition performance in frequency-selective fading channels
Abstract
In this paper, the performance of some code acquisition schemes are studied in the downlink of DS-CDMA systems. The conventional matched filter, the minimum variance method, the MUSIC algorithms and the eigenvector method based delay acquisition schemes are studied in a frequency-selective fading channel. The three last algorithms are based on different estimation schemes for the inverse of the sample-covariance matrix. Based on the results, the minimum variance based method can be used to improve the acquisition performance in comparison to the conventional non-coherent matched filter method. The MUSIC algorithm becomes useless in highly loaded systems. The best performance, however, was obtained by using a longer despreading interval in the conventional delay estimator. Unfortunately, it would require either unmodulated pilot channel or a control channel with lower data rate, which may not be available in all applications
