Improved Method for Interleaving Parameter Estimation in a Non-Cooperative Context

Abstract

In a non-cooperative context, a sequence acquired from remote sensing through satellites and aircraft can be recognized as an unknown sequence to a receiver who lacks the information of the transmission parameters. Therefore, the transmission parameters have to be estimated to reconstruct the unknown sequence. This paper focuses on the estimation of an interleaving period among transmission parameters and proposes an improved method to blindly estimate the interleaving period. Through computer simulations, we validate the method by analyzing the estimation performance in terms of the detection probability and the false alarm probability in a fading channel.
