Abstract

This paper presents a systematic study of high performance soft output demodulation for frequency-selective Rayleigh fading using an AR channel model. For channel taps modeled as AR processes, the optimum symbol-by-symbol demodulator is derived. Additionally a demodulator with an extended Kalman filter (KF) is proposed that jointly identifies and tracks the channel and the unknown parameters in AR channel models. A simulation study shows the proposed algorithms offer significant advantages in performance or complexity compared to previously proposed algorithms
