Code-timing estimation for CDMA systems with bandlimited chip waveforms.

Code-timing estimation for CDMA systems with bandlimited chip waveforms.

In this paper, we present a novel code-timing estimator for uplink asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access systems utilizing bandlimited chip waveforms. The proposed estimator requires only the spreading code and training of the desired user. We start from a maximum likelihood (ML...
