Debjani Mitra, Rakesh Ranjan . Performance Comparison of HMM Discrete Channel Modeling in CDMA Links. International Journal of Computer Applications. 1, 9 ( February 2010), 72-78. DOI=10.5120/195-334
The performance comparison of two Markov models namely the Baum Welch Algorithm based HMM and Semi Hidden Markov Model has been evaluated for a DS-CDMA link in this work. The simulation includes the effects of AWGN, Multipath and Multiple Access Interference. Validation includes a comparison of the run-length statistic for the original and regenerated error sequence from estimated models. The SHMM approach is seen to be capable of developing a more accurate model as compared to the BWA. The length of number of symbols processed at a time does not affect the accuracy in both the methods.
