In this paper, we present a mathematical modeling and perform a performance analysis of double-dwell serial search algorithm, which has a search window concept, for pilot channel in DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access). We derive a code detection function, a false alarm function, a code miss function, and a mean code acquisition time for the performance analysis. We calculate the mean code acquisition time of the mathematical model in IS-95 forward link and compare it with that of the conventional search methods. The performance of the code acquisition system is also evaluated to investigate the effect of dwell times and search window size. The JTC channel model, which is a PCS channel model in North America, is used for the analysis. The numerical result shows that the mean code acquisition time of the double-dwell serial search algorithm with a search window is reduced by about 17%~25% than those of the conventional ones.

This paper considers the evaluation of the hybrid acquistion perdformance for the pilot signal in the direct sequence code division multiple access(DS/CDMA) forward link. the hybrid acquisition is introduced by the combination of two schemes, the parallel and serial acquisions. The mean acquisition time of the proposed scheme is derived to consider both the best case(the correct code-phase offsets are included i one subset) and the worst case(the correct code-phase offsets exist at the boundary of two subsets), which are cause by the distribution of the correct code-phase offsets in the subset. Expressions for the detection, false alarm, and miss probabilities are derived for the case of multiple correct code-phase offsets and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results present the hybrid acquistion performance with repect to design parameters such as postdetectio integration length in the search and verification modes, subset size, and number of I/Q noncoherent correlators, and compare the hybrid acquistion with the parallel acquistion in terms of the minimum acquistion time under the same hardware complexity.

In this paper, we propose a new code acquisition architecture having the features of low complexity and high speed for the MC-CDMA system. The newly designed searching finger has function of the searcher as well as the finger. The searching finger tests the PN code Phase as the searcher during the initial acquisition, and as the finger after the initial acquisition. The proposed system has reduced the average acquisition time of the PN codes to $T_{acq}$/19 in the 20MHz MC-CDMA system with 75% reduction of H/W complexity.y.

This paper proposes the code acquisition scheme on a MIMO channel for preamble search in a CDMA-MIMO uplink system. The multiple transmit/receive antennas are used for beamforming. The performance of a ML code acquisition technique based on transmit and receive beamforming is analyzed by considering rho detection probability. The acquisition performance and MAT for a MIMO code acquisition system are numerically evaluated. It is shown that multiple transmit antennas can give the code acquisition system a transmit beamforming gain and result in much better performance than a SIMO case.

In this paper, we perform a performance analysis of serial acquisition scheme using AWGN rejection filter in Rayleigh fading channel and propose robust acquisition scheme using Reference filter, which is utilized to vary threshold at fading rate, in Rayleigh fading channel. AWGN rejection filter is utilized to evaluate running average for compensating channel gain. The JAKE model, which a channel model, is used for the analysis. The simulation result shows that the mean acquisition time of the proposed acquisition system is minimized than acquisition system using AWGN rejection filter and serial-search acquisition system.

This paper proposes the acquisition system using the multiple antennas in DS-CDMA system. The conventional acquisition schemes using multiple antennas are the methods to utilize the multi-antenna combining and the fixed multi-beam forming of a serial acquisition. Then, this paper proposes the hybrid acquisition scheme using the fixed multi-beam forming. The numerical results show the performance comparison of two acquisition schemes in terms of the acquisition time ill the multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

In the CDMA mobile communication system with asynchronous mode among base stations, the initial PN code acquisition method using a matched filter can be considered for the rapid PN code synchronization acquisition in the handoff region. In the model of the noncoherent QPSK/DS-SS under the Rayleigh fading channel, the mean acquisttion time of the matched filter is analyzed to have a shortened time in proportion to the length of matched filter to be compared with the serial correlation method. In this paper to improve the HW complexity of the conventional matched device which enables the repeated correlation process, is designed and its function is verified through the FPGAsimulation using Altera MaxPlus Ⅱ.

In this paper, we compare the timing synchronization performance of the adaptive filter to that of the correlator in direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) systems. The test variables used in the code synchronization are statistically analyzed for both schemes, and then the obtained results are used in calculating the detection and false alarm probabilities. Based on the derived probabilities, the synchronization performance is compared and the simulation is followed. Analysis and simulation results show that the correlator outperforms the adaptive filter under most synchronization environments.

This paper proposes a hybrid pseudo-noise (PN) code acquisition scheme for Multicarrier Direct Sequence - Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) mobile communication systems on the code acquisition performance for Nakagami-m fading channel. The hybrid acquisition scheme combines parallel search with serial search to cover the whole uncertainty region of the input code phase. It has a much simpler acquisition hardware structure than the total parallel acquisition and can achieve the mean acquisition time (MAT) slightly inferior to that of the total parallel acquisition. The closed-form expressions of the detection and false-alarm probabilities are derived.

In this paper, a decision method using multiple threshold values for PN code acquisition in Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems is described. We apply this technique to the conventional double dwell serial search algorithm and analyze it in terms of mean code acquisition time. For the analysis, we present mathematical model of proposed algorithm and also perform the simulation under IMT-2000 channel models. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the conventional one by 0.2 - 0.5 sec with respect to the mean code acquisition time because multiple threshold values mitigate the possible decline in search performance caused by the use of a single threshold.
