Performance Analysis of the Downlink CP-WCDMA System with Turbo Code in Frequency Domain

Modern wireless communications require an efficient spectrum usage and high channel capacity and high throughput. Turbo code, linear equalizers, multi-user detection and wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) are possible solutions to achieve spectral efficiency, high channel capacity, eliminate MAI, eliminate ISI and robustness against frequency selective fading. In this paper, we combine all these techniques and investigate BER performance. We propose a low complexity receiver structure for Single-input Single-output downlink cyclic prefix CP-WCDMA systems. It employs frequency domain interference cancellation schemes to mitigate the interference caused by the multipath fading channel. Also, the proposed scheme is developed for the downlink Turbo code CP-WCDMA system to maximize the throughput of the proposed system.

Efficient wireless transmission scheme based on the recent DST-MC-CDMA

The capacity of a multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system is limited by a multiple access interference (MAI) from other users. In this paper, we propose a MAI cancellation scheme to transmit images over a recent discrete sine transform (DST) based MC-CDMA (DST-MC-CDMA) system. In the proposed scheme the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer is used to provide the initial estimate of users’ data and the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme is then used to regenerate and cancel the MAI from the desired user. The proposed scheme is called MMSE-PIC. Simulation results in multi-path fading channel confirm the excellent performance of the proposed scheme as compared to MMSE equalization method. It is also found that the best suitable tentative decision for the proposed scheme is the null zone decision or the clipper decision. We also conduct experiments to show the performance of the proposed scheme with a real image transmission over the DST-MC-CDMA system. Results show that the proposed scheme provides significant image quality improvement as compared to the existing schemes. The average peak signal to noise ratio improvement achieved by the proposed scheme over the conventional MMSE equalizer at a SNR = 30 dB is about 6.5 dB for different number of users.

V-BLAST的并行译码

移动通信系统研究的热点之一是提高系统容量.因此,空时码技术因其可在衰落环境下提供高质量的信号,进而提高系统容量而在无线通信中得到了广泛的研究.最近几年,对空时码中的一个重要分支——垂直-贝尔实验室分层空时码(V-BLAST)的研究已经有很多.然而,传统的V-BLAST算法由于需要进行大量的线性迫零和串行符号删除等运算,时延很大.而且发射天线数越多,时延也就越大.针对上述问题,本文提出了一种新的基于线性迫零和并行符号删除的检测算法.其优点是时延小且结构简单.对于新的译码方案我们在COSSAP中平坦瑞利信道下进行了仿真,仿真结果显示了基于并行符号删除的新方案的误码率(BER)性能.     

Interference mitigation in uplink STBC MC-CDMA system based on PIC receiver

Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) is attractive technique for high speed data transmission in multipath fading channel. MC-CDMA system cannot handle the sudden time variations of the channel which cause the subcarriers to lose their orthogonality. The loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers of a user or unwanted correlation between the spreading codes of different user can lead to increase in Multiple Access Interference (MAI). Space Time Block Code (STBC) based MC-CDMA system is chosen to achieve full diversity and transmission rate without the knowledge of Channel State Information (CSI) at the transmitter. Thus, in the paper STBC is introduced at the transmitter to improve the quality of the receiver. Space Time Block Code-Parallel Interference Cancellation (STBC-PIC) receiver has been proposed for MC-CDMA system. In the proposed STBC-PIC receiver, at each interference cancellation stage, weighted signal of the other user is subtracted from signal of the desired user, thereby reducing the MAI and improving the BER performance. From the simulation results, it is observed that the proposed receiver outperforms STBC-Orthogonal Complete Complementary Code (STBC-OCCC), STBC-Minimum Mean Square Error (STBC-MMSE) and STBC-Zero Forcing (STBC-ZF) receivers for MAI reduction.

FD-MC-CDMA: A Frequency-Based Multiple Access Architecture for High Performance Wireless Communication

Multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) demonstrates good probability of error performances in frequency selective fading channels, a direct result of its ability to resolve the available frequency diversity. However, MC-CDMA performances may be limited by degradation due to large multiple-access interference (MAI). Frequency division multi-carrier code division multiple access (FD-MC-CDMA), a novel multiple access architecture proposed in this paper, exploits the available frequency diversity benefits while reducing MAI. Specifically, instead of transmitting all users' information bits over all carriers, FD-MC-CDMA employs a subset of carriers to support a subset of users (while maintaining the same overall system capacity and throughput as in MC-CDMA). By careful selection of each subset of carriers, the available frequency diversity benefits are fully exploited, while the MAI experienced by each user is reduced. Furthermore, since the number of carriers employed by each user is significantly reduced, the complexity of the truly optimal multiuser detection (MUD) receiver for FD-MC-CDMA is low. An optimal MUD based on the maximum likelihood (ML) criteria is employed to optimize the system performance of FD-MC-CDMA. The proposed FD-MC-CDMA (with MUD) provides significantly better bit error rate (BER) performances than traditional MC-CDMA systems with little increase in system complexity.     

频率选择性信道下空间相关MIMO的迭代检测技术

给出了一种频率选择性信道下空间相关MIMO的系统模型,其发送端采用准循环系统RA码,接收端采用一种对空间相关和非相关信道均适用的软干扰消除迭代检测算法.该算法首先采用基于最小均方误差检测(MMSE)的滑动窗口模型进行干扰消除,然后采用多天线联合最大似然检测(ML)以得到软信息,再将得到的软信息传递到译码器译码并输出发送比特的软信息作为下一次迭代的先验信息,即完成一次迭代.此模型能够取得比较好的误码率性能(BER),其改进方案既增加了发送端的调制域分集,性能又有提升.作为比较,基于软干扰消除的逐天线MMSE迭代检测的方案(ABA SC/MMSE)性能很差.仿真结果也证明了以上观点.     

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.     

Approaching V-BLAST Capacity With Adaptive Modulation and LDPC Encoding

This paper presents a practical implementation of the vertical Bell Laboratories layered space-time (V-BLAST) type system, in which the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) open-loop capacity can be approached with conventional scalar coding, using adaptive modulation with appropriate channel codes, e.g., low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and optimum successive detection (OSD). The density evolution (DE) technique is employed to determine the maximal achievable rate of an LDPC code for each transmit antenna for a given channel realization at a given SNR. Numerical results show that the average sum rate of the adaptively modulated LDPC-encoded system is quite close to the V-BLAST capacity with both rate and power adaptations. Considering the performing degradation caused by error propagation due to the imperfect feedback and relatively long decoding delay in the OSD, we use parallel interference cancellation (PIC) followed by minimum mean square error (MMSE) filtering in the bit error rate (BER) performance simulation. Simulation results show that a target BER of 10-5 can be achieved by the optimally designed LDPC codes. To simplify the code design, we replace the LDPC codes optimally designed for each channel realization with rate-compatible punctured LDPC codes, at the cost of a slight sum rate loss. If the fading process is nonergodic, the outage capacity corresponding to a given outage probability is used to measure the channel performance. As an example, we design the LDPC codes for an adaptively modulated 2 × 2 V-BLAST system to approach its outage capacity for a given outage probability.      

An Adaptive Multistage Multiuser Detector for MC-CDMA Communication Systems Using Evolutionary Computation Technique

The main targets of multi-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access (MC-DS-CDMA) mobile communication systems are to overcome the multi-path fading influences as well as the near-far effect and to increase its capacity. Many optimal and suboptimal multi-user detection approaches have recently been proposed and analyzed in literature. Unfortunately, most of them share the drawback of requiring a practical solution. Therefore, we have presented an adaptive multistage interference cancellation structure based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach in this paper, and have effectively eliminated the multi-access interference (MAI) and near-far effect, and quickly converges to global optimal solution. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can outperform some of the existed interference cancellation methods in both the additive white Gaussian noise and the multi-path fading channels.

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     

Joint Detection and Diversity Techniques in CDMA Mobile Radio Systems

CDMA mobile radio systems suffer from intersymbol interference (ISI) and multiple access interference (MAI) which can be combated by using joint detection (JD) techniques. Furthermore, the time variation of the radio channels leads to degradations of the receiver performance due to fading. These degradations can be reduced by applying diversity techniques. Three suboptimum detection techniques based on matched filters (MF), zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square-error (MMSE) equalization are considered. For further improvements, switched and equal gain diversity techniques are employed to combat fading. The performance is depicted in terms of the average bit error probability versus the average SNR per bit in a single cell environment showing an appreciable improvement over the non diversity situation. Theoretical results for the SNR at the front end of the receiver and the BER for ideal channel are obtained and compared with the simulation results.     

Group-blind multi-user detection under multi-path channel

This article proposes an improved generalized side-lobe canceller(GSC)receiver structure based on a new group constraint,which is suitable to eliminate multiple-access interference(MAI),inter-symbol interference(ISI)in direct-sequence code-division multiple access(DS/CDMA)downlink multi-user system.The new group constraint is deduced to construct the group-blind adaptive multi-user detector.The analysis indicates that the improved GSC under the new constraint not only retains the property of suppressing ISI and canceling MAI,but also can extract useful information from the succeeding bit for the desired user.The simulations show that the improved GSC filter can cancel the MAI efficiently whether the wireless channel length is short or long,and achieve better performance than other compared filters.

Fuzzy adaptive partial parallel multistage detection for MIMO systems

Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) detection followed by a full parallel interference cancellation (full PIC) or a constant-weight partial parallel interference cancellation (CW-PPIC) scheme has been proposed. However, its performance degrades when the received power of the antenna is unbalanced and/or the system is heavily loaded. Therefore, V-BLAST is proposed, followed by fuzzy adaptive partial parallel multistage detection for MIMO systems. The simulation results show that the error probability of this proposed method is better than that of V-BLAST followed by full PIC or CW-PPIC schemes     

A Novel Joint Detection of Frequency Offset and MAI for MC-CDMA Systems

While multicarrier CDMA techniques are used to reduce interference and improve the performance of the system in fading channel, carrier frequency offset and multiple access interference remain major obstacles for a multicarrier CDMA system's performance. In this article we propose a novel joint detection method called modified maximum likelihood multistage parallel interference canceller (M-ML-MPIC) to eliminate the frequency offset and MAI simultaneously. The main idea of our approach is to combine PIC multiuser detection and frequency offset estimation based on a maximum likelihood function with guard interval. We discuss our scheme and report on its performance using a set of simulation experiments.
