Performance of coherent receiver with weighted despreading sequencefor DS-CDMA

The performance of a DS-CDMA system using coherent receivers with the despreading sequences weighted by adjustable chip waveforms is presented. A new expression for the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) of the decision variable is derived for the proposed receiver. When the system parameters are given, the derived SINR expression is determined only by one parameter of the weighted despreading sequence. As a result, the parameter can be simply tuned in practice for multiple access interference (MAI) rejection

A Theoretical Evaluation of Parallel Interference Cancellation in M-Ary Orthogonal Modulated Asynchronous DS-CDMA System Over Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channels

In this paper, we tackle the problem of theoretical evaluation for the multistage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme in a direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system with orthogonal modulation and long scrambling codes. The studied system operates on the reverse link in a time varying multipath Rayleigh fading channel. By applying the Central Limit Theorem and some other approximations to multiple access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI), as well as assuming identically distributed chips from a single interferer, the bit error rate (BER) performance of the PIC scheme at any stage can be recursively computed from the signal-to-noise ratio, number of users, the number of path per user, processing gain of the CDMA system, and the average received power of each path. For completeness, the BER expression is derived for chip synchronous and chip asynchronous systems over both equal and unequal power multipath channels. The proposed analysis is validated by the Monte Carlo simulations and proved to be reasonably accurate, and it gives insight into the performance and capacity one can expect from PIC-based receivers under different situations. For instance, the analytical results can be used to examine the convergence property, multipath diversity gains, and near-far resistance of the PIC scheme.

A DS-CDMA system using despreading sequences weighted by adjustablechip waveforms

This paper evaluates the performance of a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access system using coherent receivers in which the despreading sequences are weighted by adjustable chip waveforms. The chip weighting waveforms under consideration are designed for multiple-access interference (MAI) rejection. Assuming that the received chip waveforms are rectangular, new expressions for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the decision variable are derived when different weighted despreading sequences (WDSs) are used in the receiver. The novelty of the derived expressions is that each of the expressions, when the system parameters are given, is determined only by one parameter of the adjustable chip waveforms employed. As a result, we can simply tune the parameter to its optimal value in real-time for MAI rejection without knowing the other users' spreading codes, timing, and phase. The criterion for tuning the parameter is to maximize the SINR of the decision variable based on the relative strength between the additive Gaussian white noise and the MAI. Numerical results show that when the multiple-access interference is significant, the receivers using WDSs outperform significantly the conventional receiver using a rectangular despreading sequence. Brief analysis for bandlimited spreading signals is also provided to reveal the practical implications of the proposed technique

On the Performance of Chaos-Based Multicode DS-CDMA Systems

Multicode DS-CDMA systems assign more than one spreading sequence to each of the users. In these systems multiple access interference (MAI) is made of a synchronous and an asynchronous component. It is well known that asynchronous MAI alone can be minimized by means of chaos-based spreading. Here we address the trade-off between synchronous and asynchronous MAI by tuning the autocorrelation profile of the chaosbased spreading codes. Improvements in the number of users allowed in the system is demonstrated in certain load conditions with respect to the classical approach of providing each user with a set of orthogonal sequences taken from an i.i.d. process.     

An optimal signal design for band-limited asynchronous DS-CDMAcommunications

An optimal signal design for band-limited, asynchronous, direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) communications with aperiodic random spreading sequences and a conventional matched filter receiver is considered in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. With bandwidth defined in the strict sense, two optimization problems are solved under finite bandwidth and zero interchip interference constraints. First, a chip waveform optimization is performed given the system bandwidth, the data symbol transmission rate, and the processing gain. A technique to characterize a band-limited chip waveform with a finite number of parameters is developed, and it is used to derive optimum chip waveforms which minimize the effect of multiple-access interference (MAI) for any energy and delay profile of users. Next, a joint optimization of the processing gain and the chip waveform is performed, given the system bandwidth and the data symbol transmission rate. A sufficient condition for a system to have lower average probability of bit error for any energy profile is found, and it is used to derive some design strategies. It is shown that the flat spectrum pulse with the processing gain leading to zero excess bandwidth results in the minimum average probability of bit error. Design examples and numerical results are also provided     

A Hybrid Interference Cancellation technique for overloaded CDMA with timing offset error

A novel method of Hybrid Parallel/Successive Interference Cancellation (HIC) for Overloaded Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) system involving two groups of users is proposed in this paper. The impact of timing synchronization error on acceptable channel load in a synchronous binary spread CDMA system is studied by mitigating the effect of multi-access interference (MAI). A small timing synchronization error is introduced in the DS-CDMA system under study to disturb the orthogonality of group-1 users and group-2 users. This orthogonality loss leads to Multi User Interference (MUI) in group-1 users and it is cancelled using Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC). The interference of group-2 users on group-1 users is cancelled using Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). The analytical expressions of the Bit Error Rate (BER) are derived. The simulation results prove that the BER performance of the proposed HIC method is better than the conventional PIC and SIC.     

SUCCESSIVE BEAMFORMING, MULTIUSER DETECTION AND DIVERSITY RECEPTION FOR MULTICARRIER DS-CDMA SYSTEM WITH ANTENNA ARRAY

Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) systems are interference limited,and therefore efficient interference management is necessary to enhance the performance of a CDMA system.In this paper,a successive beamforming (spatial filtering),linear decorrelating MultiUser Detection (MUD, temporal filtering) and diversity reception structure for uplink multicarrier Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) system with antenna array are proposed.By beamforming,the antenna array suppresses interference according to the distinct array signature.Subsequently,linear decorrelating MUD is ap- plied to separate the signals of different users and eliminate Multiple Access Interference (MAI).Finally, the decorrelated signals at different subcarriers that belong to the same user are combined to achieve frequency diversity.Simulation results show that the proposed structure offers significant Bit Error Rate (BER) performance improvement by successively exploiting the space-time-frequency processing.     

Chip-locked space-time filtering for maximizing SINR in asynchronous DS-CDMA systems

This paper considers a chip-locked space-time (CLST) filtering technique for direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. CLST filtering exploits the knowledge of the multiple access interference (MAI) chip delays, as well as the fact that the MAI spectrum is colored in the time and space domains. Chip delays of interferers from the same cell as the desired user are available at the base station and can be used to improve performance of single-user receivers. CLST filtering reduces MAI through joint optimization of spatio-temporal filtering and exploitation of chip delays of locked interference, without the need of interferers spreading codes. A significant improvement in signal-to-interference plus noise ratio can be achieved through CLST filtering with respect to the case when the interference is unlocked. The capabilities of CLST filtering to suppress chip-delay-locked interference improves with increasing chip waveform excess bandwidth. Numerical results show that CLST filtering already provides significant performance gains with square-root raised cosine chip pulses of small excess bandwidth. Furthermore, it is also shown that CLST filtering for a long observation interval is suitable for DS-CDMA systems employing long sequence spreading.     

Bit error performance evaluation of double-differential QPSK infaded channels characterized by Gaussian plus impulsive noise andDoppler effects

A Fourier-Bessel series-based analysis that allows real-time symbol-to-symbol error performance evaluation for mobile radio direct-sequence code division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems is described. The technique analyzes mobile radio communication aeronautic links and generates average bit error rate (BER) and bit-to-bit patterns. Various communication systems parameters (e.g., modulation scheme, data rate, signal-to-noise ratio, and receive speed) as well as multiaccess interference (MAI) environments (i.e., Rayleigh-faded channels with Doppler frequency shift) may be specified and permit performance comparison. Additive white Gaussian (AWG) and impulsive ϵ-mixture type of noise are also considered to be present for the asynchronous and quasi-synchronous DS-CDMA configurations, with both schemes characterized by the incorporation of double-differential QPSK (DDQPSK) modulation. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed combination in terms of multiplexing and digital modulation may be a suitable alternative solution for air-to-air and/or air-to-ground aeronautic communications for optimized BER versus signal-to-noise ratio system performance and, hence, for “best” channel capacity versus receiver complexity     

Blind decentralized projection receiver for asynchronous CDMA in multipath channels

An asynchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system employing periodic spreading sequences is considered to be operating in a frequency selective channel. The cyclostationary spread signal is received at multiple sensors and/or is sampled multiple times per chip (oversampling), leading to a stationary vector-valued received signal. Hence, such a model represents a very particular multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system with plentiful side information in terms of distinct spreading waveforms for the input signals. Depending upon the finite impulse response (FIR) length of the propagation channel, and the processing gain, the channel of a certain user spans a certain number of symbol periods, thus inducing memory or intersymbol interference (ISI) in the received signal in addition to the multiple-access interference (MAI) contributed by concurrent users. The desired user’s multipath channel estimate is obtained by means of a new blind technique which exploits the spreading sequence of the user and the second-order statistics of the received signal. The blind minimum mean square error-zero forcing (MMSE-ZF) receiver or projection receiver is subsequently obtained. This receiver represents the proper generalization of the anchored MOE receiver [1] to the asynchronous case with delay spread. Classification of linear receivers obtained by various criteria is provided and the MMSE-ZF receiver is shown to be obtainable in a decentralized fashion by proper implementation of the unbiased minimum output energy (MOE) receiver, leading to the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) receiver for the signal of the desired user. This MVDR receiver is then adapted blindly by applying Capon’s principle. A channel impulse response is obtained as a by-product. Lower bounds on the receiver filter length are derived, giving a measure of the ISI and MAI tolerable by the receiver and ensuring its identifiability.     

Asynchronous multiple-access interference suppression and chipwaveform selection with aperiodic random sequences

A linear decentralized receiver capable of suppressing multiple-access interference (MAI) for asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems with aperiodic random signature sequences is proposed. Performance bounds on this receiver are also obtained. Using them as performance measures, the problem of chip waveform selection in DS-CDMA systems with the proposed receiver under the near-far scenario is investigated. In particular, the performance of several practical chip waveforms is compared. An LMS-type adaptive algorithm is developed to obtain the parameters needed in the receiver, which only requires the signature sequence and coarse timing information of the desired user

Analysis of adaptive multistage interference cancellation for CDMAusing an improved Gaussian approximation

We consider a simple model for adaptive multistage interference cancellation within a CDMA system, and seek to develop an accurate analytical expression for the performance of this system. Previous work on interference cancellation has relied heavily on simulation techniques or a simple Gaussian approximation (GA). The standard GA ran lead to bit-error rate (BER) results which are optimistic for the conventional receiver, and this also occurs when the approximation is applied to the interference cancellation problem. Additionally, this approximation does not allow the second order effects of the multiple access interference (MAI) to be included in the performance estimates. Several improvements on the standard GA have been suggested which result in accurate performance results for a standard CDMA receiver. This paper presents an analytical expression for the probability of bit error for an adaptive multistage interference canceller, using an improved Gaussian approximation (IGA) for MAI. The BER at any stage of interference cancellation can be recursively computed from the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the statistics of the random powers of users, and the processing gain of the CDMA system. The performance of the resulting EER expression is compared with simulation results. Since the second order effects of MAI can be included, the analytical framework presented here can also be used to evaluate the performance of multistage interference cancellation in arbitrary fading environments, and we present results for the performance of interference cancellation in lognormal fading environments     

A new construction of signature waveforms for synchronous CDMA systems

We consider synchronous code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, where all users are divided into groups of small size. The signature waveforms for users in each group are constructed from the same signature sequence but with different chip waveforms. To minimize the multiple access interference (MAI) at the output of the correlators, Welch-bound-equality (WBE) sequences and chip waveforms having optimal correlation property are employed. The main idea behind the proposed construction is to suppress the inter-group interference from users in different groups as much as possible (even to remove it completely) at the expense of introducing the intra-group interference among the users in the same group. The intra-group interference, however, can be easily handled by a low-complexity, optimal (or suboptimal) multiuser detector(s) if the group size is kept small enough. As special cases, the proposed constructions correspond to the optimal design of the signature waveforms and the conventional system that uses a single chip waveform, respectively. Thus the proposed construction offers a flexibility to trade performance for complexity. In particular, it is demonstrated that, while the conventional system's error performance is very sensitive to even a small amount of overload, the proposed system with two users per group can have up to 100% overload with an excellent error performance.
