doc.: IEEE /122r0 Submission April 2008 Hou-Shin Chen and Wen Gao, Thomson Inc.Slide 5 TDSC Method In DVB-T, every fourth OFDM symbols have the same pilot tone position. Define C(v) as the accumulated TDSC function, where v = l-m is the symbol index difference of two OFDM symbol A: the number of pilot position sets, here A = 4. S v : the number of TDSC accumulated for C(v).

These accumulated TDSC functions have different phase and hence we cannot simply add them together. In order to solve this problem, lets define and let decision statistic be where a v is combining ratios.

doc.: IEEE /122r0 Submission April 2008 Hou-Shin Chen and Wen Gao, Thomson Inc.Slide 7 Combining Ratio We use an intuitive criterion to find the combining ratios a v. We choose a v such that the Kullback-Leibler divergence is maximized for two hypotheses H 0 and H 1. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the probability distributions of the test statistic for both hypotheses approach complex Gaussian distribution For two complex Gaussian random variables, the Kullback-Leibler divergence is given by

doc.: IEEE /122r0 Submission April 2008 Hou-Shin Chen and Wen Gao, Thomson Inc.Slide 8 Combining Ratio By computing for all v, the optimal combining ratios are obtained. It is too complex to solve. As a result, we assume that which is reasonable when the SNR is very low. Then, a suboptimal solution is given by a v = S v S v+d Where S v is the number of TDSC accumulated for C(v).

Due to the CP nature of OFDM, as long as the sampling instance falls in the CP, the TDSC equation is correct. If the length of CP is L, and we try a sampling instance every L samples, at least one sampling instance will fall in CP for [N/L]+1 consecutive trials. We use the maximum amplitude over these timing trial as decision statistic. N-LL L L-1

Channel bandwidth is 8 MHz. The timing offset is 300 samples and the frequency offset is set to be KHz which corresponds to 2.5 subcarrier spacing for the 2K modes. The sensing time is 50 ms which corresponds to 216, 210, 198, and 178 symbols for CP equaling to 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 of the subcarrier number. P FA = 0.01.

doc.: IEEE /122r0 Submission April 2008 Hou-Shin Chen and Wen Gao, Thomson Inc.Slide 16 Conclusions The performances of the CP method have a dramatic degradation when the length of CP is decreased from 1/4 to 1/32 of the carrier number. The performances of the TDSC method are almost the same for all kinds of CP. Indeed, the performance of the shorter CP is a little better than that of the longer CP because there are more OFDM symbols for shorter CP in the same sensing time. The TDSC method has higher complexity. However, it outperforms the CP method for all kinds of CP and for CP is 1/32, it outperforms the CP method for 7 dB.
