Acquiring Multiple Spread Spectrum Signals in a Multiantenna Ad Hoc Network

October 2004

Robert M. Taylor, Jr., The MITRE Corporation

ABSTRACT

In this study we investigate acquisition (code offset and channel state estimation) of multiple direct sequence spread spectrum DSSS signals in a multi-antenna ad hoc network. We derive the form of the optimal acquisition algorithm and show that it is NP-complete. We then derive a tractable suboptimal approach where we use a successive multistage cancellation approach in estimating the initial code offsets and channel matrix. Finally, we show probability of error curves for the optimal and suboptimal delay estimators.
