Abstract(in English) Automatic Identification System (AIS) information can be obtained across the open sea by the space-based AIS. In Japan, JAXA has conducted a space-based AIS experiment, which is called space-based AIS experiment (SPAISE). In this experiment, satellites equipped with AIS receivers have been launched to altitude 600km and receive AIS signals suffering from Doppler shift. The experiment results clarify that the wide coverage of the satellite causes collision of many AIS signal packets, which makes signal detection very hard. In order to estimate the number of collision packets for separating and detecting the collision packets, this report proposes an estimation method exploiting correlation between received signals and the training sequence. The phase of the training sequence is rotated by candidates of the Doppler frequency and then received timing is delayed by candidates of delayed time. Then, the correlation between the resultant training sequences and the received signals is calculated. By searching for the highest peak of the correlation, we can estimate the Doppler frequency and delayed time of the dominant AIS packet. The training sequence with the estimated Doppler frequency and delayed time is subtracted from the received signals. The correlation between the resultant received signals and training sequence is calculated again. These processes are repeated until the peak of the correlation does not exceed a threshold, which can estimate the number of collision packets. Computer simulations evaluate mean squared estimation errors of the Doppler frequency, the delay time, and the complex envelope, and show that when the average received power of each packet is equal, how the error rate of the number of collision packets depends on the average signal to noise ratio. Especially, it is demonstrated that the error detection rate becomes approximately 45% when the number of collision packets is 4, 20 % for 3, and 5% for 2.
