We propose a maximum likelihood detection (MLD) technique that incorporates beat noise estimation (BNE). MLD can minimize a bit error rate theoretically because a bit pattern with the maximum posteriori probability is selected as the detected signals. Also, BNE can extract a specific beat noise from mixed multiple signals using a correlation. By combining these techniques, the influence of beat noise is reduced and the bit error rate becomes lower in an OCDM-based system. This paper describes the MLD algorithm and the BNE design. And numerical simulation results confirm the validity and performance of this technique.
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.
