• A 2-D signal representation

• Facilitates signaling by exploiting multipath and Doppler

• Identifies Doppler as another dimension for diversity

Channel Modeling Requirements

• Multipath environment

• Independent paths

• Rayleigh fast fading

Channel ModelingOur approach

• Jakes’ model for individual paths

• Independence assured by having:

Spacing >> Tcoh ( ~ )

• Random delays for different multipath

components

• Canonical representation

Conclusion

• Canonical representation + EM algorithm

New Detector for Fast Fading Multipath Env.

– Two special cases: TF RAKE and MultiStage

• Outperforms TF RAKE and MultiStage

• For rapid convergence use appropriate k

Future work

• Theoretical error probability analysis

• Near-Far resistance analysis

• Optimum value for k

• Extension to asynchronous case

That’s all Folks!
