A novel rapid code acquisition scheme is proposed for low spreading factor satellite communication systems relying on message passing algorithms (MPA), where the acquisition of pseudonoise (PN) codes is converted to a sequence estimation problem. Due to the presence of data transitions in low spreading factor systems, conventional acquisition methods based on correlation would show poor capture performance. To overcome the impact of data transitions, this letter proposes a joint data chip and PN sequence estimation technique with the aid of factor graph and belief propagation (BP) algorithm. Meanwhile, in view of the short-term invariance of data chips, this letter models data chips as Markov chains to improve prior knowledge. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can save the mean acquisition time (MAT) about three orders of magnitude and improve the acquisition performance by 2 dB at 99% detection probability compared with serial search.
