doc.: IEEE /0050r0 Submission January 2007 Monisha Ghosh, PhilipsSlide 2 Advantage Of Binary Preambles Binary preambles enable very simple channel estimation, with no multiplications required. –Significant complexity advantage for large FFT sizes, e.g 2K-FFT systems. Storage requirements are minimal: 1 bit per preamble symbol. Generating the preambles with shift-registers eliminates the need for any storage of multiple sequences.

doc.: IEEE /0050r0 Submission January 2007 Monisha Ghosh, PhilipsSlide 3 Method For Generating Binary Preambles. General preamble structure in the frequency domain: [0 p 1 … p L 0 … 0 p L+1 … p 2L ] Problem: Determine the sequences [p 1..p L ] and [p L+1 … p 2L ] to minimize PAPR of 4-times oversampled signal in the time domain. Let N = smallest power of 2 > L. For example, if L = 840, choose N = Pick a maximal length sequence of length N. For example, for N = 1024, choose x 10 +x 8 +x 7 + x 5 +1, and initialize the shift-register with all zeros, to generate a sequence a(n). Cyclically shift sequence a(n) by shift S 1 and let [p 1..p L ] = first L values of shifted sequence. Cyclically shift sequence a(n) by shift S 2 and let [p L+1..p 2L ] = first L values of shifted sequence. Form the preamble sequence [0 p 1 … p L 0 … 0 p L+1 … p 2L ]. Take IFFT of oversampled preamble and evaluate PAPR. Repeat for all combination of S 1 and S 2. Pick the combination (S 1, S 2 ) that minimizes PAPR.

Superframe/frame short: training symbol on every 4 th frequency. –Length 256 M-sequence: x 8 + x 7 +x 3 + x –S 1 = 226, S 2 = 109; PAPR = dB Frame long: training symbol on every 2 nd frequency. –Length 512 M-sequence: x 9 + x 8 + x 7 + x 6 +x 4 +x –S 1 = 256 S 2 = 492; PAPR = dB Superframe long: training symbol on every frequency. –Length 1024 M-sequence: x 10 +x 8 +x 7 +x 5 +1 –S 1 = 296, S 2 = 808; PAPR = dB If multiple preambles are required choose another generator, or another combination of (S 1,S 2 ).

doc.: IEEE /0050r0 Submission January 2007 Monisha Ghosh, PhilipsSlide 6 Conclusions Binary preambles for various decimation factors can be easily generated with low PAPR. Method presented leads to a very simple specification (generator + shifts) of sequences.
