| Abstract | Adaptive antenna arrays are used for reducing the effects of interference in mobile communications. The adaptation typically consists of updating the antenna weights by a recursive least-squares algorithm. We add another adaptive loop that greatly improves the performance when the environment is randomly-varying. Consider a single cell system with a (receiving) antenna array at the base station. Algorithms for tracking time varying parameters require a balance between the need to track changes (needing a short memory) and the need to average the effects of disturbances (needing a long memory). Typical algorithms seek to recursively compute the antenna weights that minimize (at times kh, k=1, 2..., for small h) E/spl Sigma//sub l=1//sup k/ /spl alpha//sup k-l/e/sub l//sup 2/:e/sub l/ are the reception errors and /spl alpha/<1. This minimization is used only to get good weights. The performance is measured by the sample average bit error rate, which depends heavily on /spl alpha/. The optimal /spl alpha/ can change significantly in seconds. The method can be used to improve algorithms for tracking parameters of time varying systems. The additional adaptive loop, based on a natural "gradient descent" method and of the stochastic approximation type, tracks the optimal value of /spl alpha/. The antenna weights and the value of /spl alpha/ are adapted simultaneously. Simulations under a variety of operating conditions show that the algorithm is practical and tracks the optimal weights and value of /spl alpha/ very well. In terms of average bit error rates and for all of the scenarios tested, the new system always performs better (sometimes much better) than an algorithm that uses any fixed value of /spl alpha/. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
