Not only for radio frequency but also for optical communication systems, knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is essential, e.g., for an adaptive network, where modulation schemes and/or error correction methods should be selected according to the varying channel states. In the current paper, this topic is discussed for a bandlimited optical intensity link under the assumption that the data symbols are known to the receiver unit in form of pilot sequences. This requires a unipolar signal design regarding the symbol constellation, but also a non-negative pulse shape satisfying the Nyquist criterion is necessary. Focusing on this kind of scenario, the modified Cramer-Rao lower bound is derived, representing the theoretical limit of the error performance of the data-aided SNR estimator developed in this context. Furthermore, we derive and analyze a maximum likelihood algorithm for SNR estimation, which turns out to be particularly simple for specific values of the excess bandwidth, among them the most attractive case of minimum bandwidth occupation. Numerical results confirming the analytical work conclude the paper.

In this paper, we propose a new data-aided (DA) joint angle and delay (JADE) maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. The latter consists of a substantially modified and, hence, significantly improved gray wolf optimization (GWO) technique by fully integrating and embedding within it the powerful importance sampling (IS) concept. This new approach, referred to hereafter as GWOEIS (for "GWO embedding IS"), guarantees global optimality, and offers higher resolution capabilities over orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) (i.

In a previous work of the author about non-data-aided estimation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for bandlimited optical intensity channels, a couple of limitations have been identified in terms of error performance and computational complexity. In the current paper, these deficiencies are avoided by the introduction of a second receiver filter with specific properties that is operated in parallel to the receiver filter normally used in this respect. Although not initially intended, the concept is also applied to data-aided SNR estimation by deriving a maximum likelihood algorithm and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) as the theoretical limit of the error performance.

Powerful and reliable estimation of transmission parameters is an indispensable task in each receiver unit-not only for radio frequency, but also for optical wireless communication systems. In this context, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plays an eminent role, especially for adaptive scenarios. Assuming a bandlimited optical intensity channel, which requires a unipolar waveform design, an algorithm for SNR estimation is developed in this paper, which requires no knowledge of the transmitted data.

The proposed algorithm enables synchronous decoding of arbitrary square-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations and it is suitable for a realistic hardware implementation based on block-wise parallel processing. The proposed method is based on principal component analysis (PCA) and it outperforms the well-known and widely used blind phase search (BPS) algorithm at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values, showing much lower cycle slip rate (CSR) both numerically and experimentally.
