Abstract

Parameter estimation and signal identification play an important role in modern wireless communication systems. In this thesis, we address different parameter estimation and signal identification problems in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT), cognitive radio systems, and high speed mobile communications. The focus of Chapter 2 of this thesis is to develop a new uplink multiple access (MA) scheme for the IoT in order to support ubiquitous massive uplink connectivity for devices with sporadic traffic pattern and short packet size. The proposed uplink MA scheme removes the Media Access Control (MAC) address through the signal identification algorithms which are employed at the gateway. The focus of Chapter 3 of this thesis is to develop different maximum Doppler spread (MDS) estimators in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective fading channel. The main idea behind the proposed estimators is to reduce the computational complexity while increasing system capacity. The focus of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 of this thesis is to develop different antenna enumeration algorithms and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimators in MIMO timevarying fading channels, respectively. The main idea is to develop low-complexity algorithms and estimators which are robust to channel impairments. The focus of Chapter 6 of this thesis is to develop a low-complexity space-time block codes (STBC)s identification algorithms for cognitive radio systems. The goal is to design an algorithm that is robust to time-frequency transmission impairments.
