What is the value of joint processing of pilots and data in block-fading channels?

The spectral efficiency achievable with joint processing of pilot and data symbol observations is compared with that achievable through the conventional (separate) approach of first estimating the channel on the basis of the pilot symbols alone, and subsequently detecting the datasymbols. Studied on the basis of a mutual information lower bound, joint processing is found to provide a non-negligible advantage relative to separate processing, particularly for fast fading. It is shown that, regardless of the fading rate, only a very small number of pilot symbols (at most one per transmit antenna and per channel coherence interval) shouldbe transmitted if joint processing is allowed.

General Aviation Security for Airport Personnel, Pilots, and Tenants December 28, 2004

The following general aviation security guidelines have been adapted from the National Working Group on General Aviation Security. This group consisted of members from the nation’s major aviation associations. In 2003the group submitted a report on general aviation security to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The following guidelines from the report affect airport personnel, pilots and tenants. Additional guidelines on airport security have been shared with airport managers and sponsors. The most up-to-date general aviation security guidelines are posted on the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Office ofAviation Web site: iawings.com
