BLIND IDENTIFICATION OF CHANNEL TAP NUMBERS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
The present disclosure relates to a method for blind identification of channel tap numbers in wireless communication by using deep neural networks (DNN). In the proposed method, it is possible to train a DNN using only the transmitted and received signals of a wireless system in order to obtain the number of channel taps. We propose a robust and efficient sparse representation technique for the identification of wireless channels. We estimate the number of channel taps which is considered as one of the sparse features of the hannel The blind estimation performed in the proposed system, enhances the spectral efficiency of the used wireless communication system since the employed DNN does not require to transmit extra signals for identifying the channel taps. In our identification method, physical insights are not available or used.
Low resolution OFDM receivers via deep learning
Various embodiments provide for deep learning-based architectures and design methodologies for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver under the constraint of one-bit complex quantization. Single bit quantization greatly reduces complexity and power consumption in the receivers, but makes accurate channel estimation and data detection difficult. This is particularly true for OFDM waveforms, which have high peak-to average (signal power) ratio in the time domain and fragile subcarrier orthogonality in the frequency domain. The severe distortion for one-bit quantization typically results in an error floor even at moderately low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) such as 5 dB. For channel estimation (using pilots), various embodiments use novel generative supervised deep neural networks (DNNs) that can be trained with a reasonable number of pilots. After channel estimation, a neural network-based receiver specifically, an autoencoder jointly learns a precoder and decoder for data symbol detection.

An access point device embeds into a preamble of a transmission packet discovery information including modifications determined by passing in-phase quadrature (IQ) symbols through a finite impulse response (FIR) filter to introduce a phase shift in selected ones of the IQ symbols. The phase shifts are encoded into bits in selected ones of a plurality of subcarriers, bounded by a maximum phase shift and a maximum number of the subcarriers to limit the packet error rate.
