Structured multiuser channel estimation for block-synchronous DS

Uplink channel estimation for a block-synchronous chip-asynchronous DS/CDMA system as proposed for the time-division duplex option of third-generation cellular systems is considered. Training midambles are employed for joint channel estimation of all users. The standard unstructured approach based o...
