High-speed parallel particle filter for PCMA signal blind separation

Abstract

The paper proposes an improved high-speed parallel particle filter algorithm for the blind separation of PCMA-signals by utilizing particle filter’s characteristics of parallelism with the help of a cluster computer system built by using the Matlab distributed computing server and Matlab parallel computing toolbox. The simulation results show that the parallel algorithm can perform the PCMA-signal blind separation quickly and effectively. Further, it can greatly decrease the time of the separation, without reducing the performance of the algorithm, and improve the real-time application of system.
