Blind joint maximum likelihood channel estimation and data detection for SIMO systems
No full textA blind adaptive scheme is proposed for joint maximum likelihood (ML) channel estimation and data detection of single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems. The joint ML optimisation over channel and data is decomposed into an iterative optimisation loop. An efficient global optimisation algorithm called the repeated weighted boosting search is employed at the upper level to optimally identify the unknown SIMO channel model, and the Viterbi algorithm is used at the lower level to produce the maximum likelihood sequence estimation of the unknown data sequence. A simulation example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this joint ML optimisation scheme for blind adaptive SIMO systems

Kleist, Johann Joachim Spalding and the Bestimmung des Menschen: Philosophy as a Way of Life?
No full text"Bestimmung des Menschen" is a key term belonging to Heinrich von Kleist’s (1777–1811) so-called pre-poetic period, appearing with great frequency in his writings from 1799 to 1801. Besides representing one of the paradigmatic ideas of German thought from the Enlightenment to Idealism, the term serves to clarify the then prevailing intellectual trends, which prioritized practice over theory, hence providing a connection to the well-known view of philosophy as a way of life. Yet, thus far, the term has not received due attention from Kleist scholars, who generally mention it without deeming it worthy of systematic investigation. The aim of this paper is precisely to fill this gap, focusing both on Kleist’s usage of the term while also tracing it back to his most likely source, namely the treatise "Die Bestimmung des Menschen" (first edition 1748–eleventh and final edition 1794) by the Lutheran theologian Johann Joachim Spalding (1714–1804). As a result, the essay will offer a more complete account of Kleist’s early philosophical and theological studies, as well as a re-evaluation of the import of these studies. Along the way, this essay will demonstrate how Kleist’s allegedly immature and dilettante approach to philosophy actually belonged to the well-established, yet often misunderstood paradigm of protreptic, transformative, and performative thinking

Iterative Soft Interference Cancellation Aided Minimum Bit Error Rate Uplink Receiver Beamforming
No full textIterative multiuser receivers constitute an effective solution for transmission over Multiple Access Interference (MAI) infested channels, when invoking a combined multiuser detector and channel decoder. Most reduced-complexity methods in this area use the Complex-valued Minimum Mean Squared Error (CMMSE) Multiuser Detector (MUD). Since the desired output of BPSK systems is real-valued, minimizing the Mean Square Error (MSE) between the beamformer’s desired output and the real part of the beamformer output has the potential of significantly improving the attainable Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. We refer to this MMSE design as the Real-valued MMSE (RMMSE) receiver. In this paper, we explore a new Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) interference cancellation multiuser detection algorithm based on the novel Minimum BER (MBER) criterion. We demonstrate that the MBER turbo receiver outperforms both the CMMSE and the RMMSE algorithms, particularly in so-called ‘overloaded’ beamforming systems, where the number of receiver antennas is lower than the number of users supported
Adaptive Minimum-BER Linear Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA Signals in Multipath Channels
No full textThe problem of constructing adaptive minimum bit error rate (MBER) linear multiuser detectors is considered for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) signals transmitted through multipath channels. Based on the approach of kernel density estimation for approximating the bit error rate (BER) from training data, a least mean squares (LMS) style stochastic gradient adaptive algorithm is developed for training linear multiuser detectors. Computer simulation is used to study the convergence speed and steady-state BER misadjustment of this adaptive MBER linear multiuser detector, and the results show that it outperforms an existing LMS-style adaptive MBER algorithm first presented at Globecom'98 by Yeh, Lopes and Barry
Adaptive Minimum Bit Error Rate Beamforming
No full textAn adaptive beamforming technique is proposed based on directly minimizing the bit error rate. It is demonstrated that this minimum bit error rate (MBER) approach utilizes the antenna array elements more intelligently, than the standard minimum mean square error (MMSE) approach. Consequently, MBER beamforming is capable of providing significant performance gains in terms of a reduced bit error rate over MMSE beamforming. A block-data adaptive implementation of the MBER beamforming solution is developed based on the Parzen window estimate of probability density function. Furthermore, a sample-by-sample adaptive implementation is considered, and a stochastic gradient algorithm, referred to as the least bit error rate, is derived. The proposed adaptive MBER beamforming technique provides an extension to the existing work (Mulgrew and Chen 2001, Chen et al 2001} for adaptive MBER equalization and multiuser detection
