Abstract
This paper considers the performance of window-based pilot acquisition system based on the Markov chain acquisition model on the assumption of direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) forward link. Its performance is compared with that of immediate verification algorithm in terms of the mean acquisition time.
The results indicate better performance of window-based algorithm that has shorter mean acquisition time than that of immediate verification algorithm, especially in low Ec/No. This results from the fact that window-based algorithm, which verifies only one code phase that has maximum correlation output, consumes an additional penalty time in each window even in the condition of frequent false alarms. As the mean acquisition time varies with the size of window, we can have the code acquisition fast with the proper window size according to Ec/No.
