A Multi-User Receiver for PUCCH LTE FORMAT 1 in Non-Cooperative Multi-Cell Architectures
In this paper, we propose a new multi-user receiver processing for PUCCH LTE that counteracts the ICI in a non-cooperative multi-cell architecture. Using the fact that the received signal in PUCCH signaling follows a constrained tensor model, a multi-user receiver based on an iterative joint channel/code estimation and symbol detection is proposed. The interest in such a challenging setting relies on the overhead reduction among neighboring cells. Simulation results show remarkable performance gains of the proposed receiver compared to the conventional time-frequency decorrelator based receiver under the same conditions. We also show a performance comparison with the cooperative version of such a tensor receiver.
Abstract This study contributes to the literature on socially responsible investing by examining the diversification potential of commodities, specifically oil, gold and clean energy together with the Brazilian Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE). Multivariate GARCH models are used to model volatility spillovers and conditional correlation in pairs of stocks containing ISE. Specifically, A-BEKK and A-DCC models with spillovers are estimated. The models’ results are used to compute and analyze the optimal weights and hedge ratios for stock portfolio holdings. The greatest benefit from diversification is obtained through the acquisition of gold and then OVX.
