Title: ITERATIVE SYNCHRONIZATION:EM ALGORITHM VERSUS NEWTON-RAPHSON METHOD
Authors: Cédric Herzet, Xavier Wautelet, Valéry Ramon, Luc Vandendorpe, Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium
Abstract: This paper deals with iterative maximum-likelihood synchronization of a scalar parameter. An efficient implementation of the Newton-Raphson (NR) maximum-search method is proposed. Considering the latter implementation, the NR approach is shown to be an attractive alternative to synchronization methods based on the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Simulation results for the case of phase-offset synchronization show that NR method usually increases the speed of convergence of the synchronization algorithm.
