| Abstract: | The problem of sequence estimation and synchronization from nonsynchronized samples is studied both for the Gaussian and Poisson channels. For the Poisson channel, a receiver that performs jointly sequence estimation and synchronization for arbitrary sampling rates and arbitrary pulse shapes is developed and its error probability studied. For the Gaussian channel, three different aspects of the receiver are studied: 1) using an integrate-and-dump filter instead of a matched-filter. 2) using rational sampling rates instead of integer sampling rates; and, 3) using a low-pass filter after the matched-filter instead of sampling the output of the matched-filter directly. The performances in terms of the error probability and the Cramer-Rao lower-bound on the mean square timing error are studied for the above methods. It is found that each method has its advantages and disadvantages. |
