Performance Evaluation of TDMA Receivers using Maximum Likelihood Estimation Techniques

"The performances of three TDMA receiver structures, using Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE), Block Sequence Estimation (BSE) and Per-Survivor Processing (PSP) techniques were evaluated. The criteria adopted for analysis was according the minimum performance specifications of the IS-55 standard for transmissions over flat fading and frequency selective channels. The results stated that the three structures analyzed reach the minimums specified partially and the PSP structure had a better performance, despite the higher computational load required in this method."
