The impact of impulse postfix length on the BER performance of IP‐OFDM systems

The impulse postfix OFDM (IP‐OFDM) system exploits the IP, which consists of a high power impulse sample and several zero samples at the end of a zero padded‐OFDM symbol block, to estimate channel impulse response (CIR) in time domain. In this paper, the impact of IP length on the BER performance of the IP‐OFDM system is analyzed. According to the analytic results, the BER performance can be significantly degraded with both a shorter length of IP as well as a longer length of IP than that of the CIR. Thus, an adaptive IP scheme, which adjusts the length of IP adaptively depending on the length of CIR, is proposed to enhance the BER performance of IP‐OFDM systems and its effectiveness is demonstrated by computer simulations. The BER performance of the IP‐OFDM systems with the proposed adaptive scheme is compared with that of the conventional IP‐OFDM system over various modulation schemes. Simulation results show that the IP‐OFDM with the proposed scheme can achieve about 2 dB performance enhancement compared with that of conventional systems at BER=10^?2.

Residual Synchronization Error Elimination in OFDM Baseband Receivers

It is well known that an OFDM receiver is vulnerable to synchronization errors. Despite fine estimations used in the initial acquisition, there are still residual synchronization errors. Though these errors are very small, they severely degrade the bit error rate (BER) performance. In this paper, we propose a residual error elimination scheme for the digital OFDM baseband receiver aiming to improve the overall BER performance. Three improvements on existing schemes are made: a pilot‐aided recursive algorithm for joint estimation of the residual carrier frequency and sampling time offsets; a delay‐based timing error correction technique, which smoothly adjusts the incoming data stream without resampling disturbance; and a decision‐directed channel gain update algorithm based on recursive least‐squares criterion, which offers faster convergence and smaller error than the least‐mean‐squares algorithms. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme works well in the multipath channel, and its performance is close to that of an OFDM system with perfect synchronization parameters.

Practical robust uniform channel decomposition scheme for CSI mismatch in limited feedback MIMO systems

Uniform channel decomposition (UCD) has been proven to be optimal in bit error rate (BER) performance and strictly capacity lossless when perfect channel state information (CSI) is assumed to be available at both the transmitter and receiver side. In practice, CSI can be obtained by channel estimation at receiver and conveyed to transmitter via a limited-rate feedback channel. In such case, the implementation of traditional UCD by treating the imperfect CSI as perfect CSI cause significant performance degradation due to inevitable channel estimation error and vector quantization error. To overcome this problem, a practical robust UCD scheme was proposed in this paper, which includes two steps, firstly, a matching architecture was proposed to eliminate the mismatch between CSI at receiver (CSIR) and CSI at transmitter (CSIT), secondly, an MMSE based robust UCD scheme considering channel estimation error and vector quantization error as an integral part of the design was derived. Simulation results show that the proposed practical robust UCD scheme is capable of improving the BER performance greatly in the context of channel estimation error and vector quantization error compared with the traditional UCD scheme.

Multi-user receiver scheme and uplink performance of space–time-coded CDMA system in Rician fading channels

The uplink performance of multi-user space–time-coded code-division multiple access (STC-CDMA) system in Rician fading channel is presented. A simple and effective multi-user receiver scheme is developed for STC-CDMA system. The scheme has linear decoding complexity when compared to the existing scheme with exponential decoding complexity, and thus implements low-complexity decoding. Based on the bit error rate (BER) analysis and moment generation function, theoretical BER expressions are derived for STC-CDMA with orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal spreading code, respectively. It is shown that these expressions have more accuracy. Using these expressions and the approximation of error function, closed-form approximate BER expressions are obtained, which can simplify the calculation of the derived theoretical BER. Simulation results show that the developed low-complexity decoding scheme can achieve almost the same performance as the existing scheme. The theoretical BER are in good agreement with the corresponding simulated values. Moreover, the presented approximate expressions are also close to the simulated values due to the better approximation. Under the same system throughput and concatenation of channel code, the presented full-rate STC-CDMA system has lower BER than the corresponding full-diversity STC-CDMA systems.     

波束空时分组编码的ICA盲检测方案

理论研究已经证明,结合波束形成和空时分组编码的混合系统与传统的单纯使用波束发射或空时编码的方案相比具有很大的性能提高;传统的译码方案是借助接收端的信道估计来实现的,它需要知道准确的信道状态信息(CSI)。但如果信道估计不易实现,则系统性能将受很大影响。独立分量分析(ICA)作为一种经典的盲信号分离技术可以在不进行信道估计的情况下对发射信号实现有效检测。本文针对接收端的信号结构提出了一种基于ICA的正交检测方案;并通过仿真将新方案与传统方案进行了性能比较。仿真结果表明,新方案具有较好的系统适应性和误码率特性。

A method using optimized combinations based on energy spectrum extension factor to reduce MAI in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems

The principle to suppress multiple access interference (MAI) using double chip waveforms (DCW) in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems is analyzed in the paper. Based on the principle, a new method adopting optimized combinations of chip waveforms (CCW) to reduce MAI is proposed. The energy spectrum extension factor (ESEF) of equivalent chip waveform is introduced to optimally select CCW to reduce MAI, improve the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and bite error rate (BER) performance of asynchronous DS-CDMA users. The general closed form expression of SINR for asynchronous DS-CDMA users with CCW is obtained. The BER is also derived by improved Gaussian approximation (IGA). The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results show that the optimized CCW using ESEF can effectively suppress MAI better, achieve higher SINR and BER performance compared with DCW. Moreover, the overlap between the simulation and IGA BER curves verifies the theoretical derivation.     

基于信道编码及空时编码级联的两用户协同分集

传统协同分集通过使网络中各单天线用户共享彼此天线,形成虚拟多天线阵列来实现空间分集,使得体积和功耗受限的网络终端也能获得分集增益,然而这并没有将信道编码和空时编码结合起来以使系统得到编码增益。为了能够获得编码增益来进一步改善系统性能,本文提出了一种基于信道编码和分布式空时分组码级联方式下的两用户协同分集方案,并且在准静态的瑞利衰落信道下对系统误码性能进行了理论推导和系统仿真,给出了误比特率的上限解析表达式。在协同用户间信道存在噪声的情况下,我们分别对CRC-DSTBC和CC-DSTBC级联下的发射方案进行了性能分析和系统仿真。仿真结果表明:即使协同用户间的信道存在噪声,本文所提出的协同分集方案与传统协同分集相比,不但获得了分集增益,同时也得到了编码增益,系统误比特率大大降低,从而显著提高了系统性能,并且这也和理论分析相吻合。

BER analysis using zero-forcing linear precoding scheme for massive MIMO under imperfect channel state information

ABSTRACT

In massive MIMO systems, inter-user interference has effect on the transmitted signals, so linear precoding techniques are employed for multiuser transmission channels to remove this inter-user interference. It is very complicated to design a suitable linear precoding technique having low computational complexity, which will give an excellent Bit Error Rate (BER) performance. In this paper, we analyse BER under imperfect Channel-State-Information (CSI) using Zero-Forcing (ZF) linear precoding scheme in the downlink, massive MIMO in Time-Division-Duplex (TDD) mode. We derive the closed-form expressions for BER that are obtained from the new expressions derived for Signal-Interference-Noise Ratio (SINR), and then analysis with different parameters using numerical and Monte Carlo simulated results is carried out in MATLAB under imperfect CSI. It was found that our theoretical analysis agrees well with the simulated results. In our analysis, BER was observed in most cases to be good when the number of Base Station (BS) antennas is large enough to accommodate the served users, but when the number of users grows up, the BER performance degrades depending on how many BS antennas are capable of handling the additional users. Also, increasing the downlink transmit power was found to improve the performance, but it is not an energy-efficient way for massive MIMO.     

A synchronous digital hierachy based dynamic error correction technique for wavelength division multiplexing networks

This paper proposes a new synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) based forward error correction (FEC) scheme for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. In this scheme, a dedicated WDM channel is used to transport the FEC redundant bits. This paper also proposes the use of error location analysis of the FEC correctable bits to identify the pattern of errors, combined with the seriousness of errors obtained from B2-byte analysis to decide as to the suitable FEC code to be assigned to the payload channels. The proposed FEC scheme is studied not only under the typical Poisson errors but also the bursty errors. Simulation results show that the proposed FEC scheme performs significantly better than the existing FEC schemes. It is also shown that the performance of the proposed FEC scheme on bursty errors is independent of the line rates, whereas the existing FEC schemes either cannot support bursty errors or degrades with line rates.
