Popis: Electromagnetic interference can cause severe performance degradation on wireless communication systems. The performance degradation is largely affected by the characteristics of the interference. With knowledge of the actual interference environment, radio receivers can be adapted to interference characteristics, and thereby providing greatly improved performance. In this work, we propose two different methods for adaptive demodulation in impulse noise. The proposed methods compute appropriate log- likelihood ratios (LLR) based on classification and parameter estimation, respectively, of Middleton's Class A noise. The methods are evaluated with Monte Carlo simulations and shown to outperform the compared demodulators. Simulations show that the methods perform close to the theoretical limit in different proportions of impulse noise and in pure, randomized Class A interference. The proposed adaptive demodulation techniques can be used to improve decoding or demodulation performance in many real-life situations where non-Gaussian interference commonly occurs.
