A new efficient preamble-less short frame, called Quasi-Cyclic Short Packet (QCSP), has been recently proposed for the Internet of Things (IoT) deployment. It has demonstrated its good performances in the process of detection, synchronization, and error correction in an asynchronous Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, with residual frequency offset, and at a very low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The detection process uses the normalized score of a non-coherent frame match filter to assess the presence of a frame or not. In this paper, we improve the detection performance by combining noncoherent detection with coherent detection. The proposed method decreases the probability of miss-detection by two decades, for a given probability of false alarm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
