Spatial Scheduling With Interference Cancellation in Multiuser MIMO Systems

This paper proposes a novel downlink spatial scheduling algorithm in multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which selects a good combination of terminals and base station's (BS's) transmit beams so that the BS's beams nullify interstream interference at the selected terminals. In the derivation process, we reveal the new property that the optimization problem of downlink spatial scheduling is equivalent to that of uplink scheduling under the BS's zero-forcing beamforming. Using this property, an efficient downlink scheduling algorithm is presented, applying the principle of an uplink scheduling algorithm. Numerical results show that the presented spatial scheduling achieves a much higher system throughput than a multiuser MIMO system without spatial scheduling or with conventional spatial scheduling by linear processing. We also present a realistic control structure to achieve the uplink and downlink spatial scheduling in time-division duplex systems.     

Novel Finite Summation Expressions for Total Interference Power due to Carrier Frequency Offset in Uplink Multiuser OFDM Systems

Carrier Frequency Offset which poses adverse threats in uplink Multiuser OFDM systems induces Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and Multiuser Interference (MUI). It is very essential that the power of ICI and MUI is calculated precisely. In previous work, the total interference power was presented in an indefinite integral form or as an infinite series. Further, an ideal channel was the scenario under consideration in earlier work. In this paper, novel finite summation expressions for power of ICI and MUI are derived over slowly fading channels which make the calculation of total interference simpler for any number of users by just specifying the total number of users and the number of subcarriers allotted for each user. Based on the mean of the dominant signal and the total interference power experienced in the system, closed-form expressions for mean and variance of the desired signal in uplink multiuser OFDM system are obtained which provide an idea of the strength of the desired signal. Finite-sum expressions for the total interference power, and closed-form expressions for mean and variance of the desired signal under Rayleigh, Weibull and Nakagami fading channels are derived and plotted from which the response of the system can be understood perfectly.     

Inter-Carrier Interference Cancellation for OFDM Systems with Macrodiversity and Multiple Frequency Offsets

Macrodiversity provides improved coverage in wireless communications. It isused in single frequency networks (SFN), and in some cellular systems, whena mobile is in a soft handoff. The combination of OFDM and macrodiversity isvery attractive for the ability of OFDM to cope with delay spread resultingfrom macrodiversity. However, such system is very sensitive to poor frequencysynchronization among transmitters, which results in multiple frequencyoffsets. These cause inter-carrier interference (ICI), which severely degradesperformance. In this paper we quantify the degradation, providing expressionsfor the receiver SINR, and find the optimum receiver frequencysynchronization. Furthermore, we propose to mitigate ICI degradation usinglinear and decision feedback interference cancellation. In each case, weprovide a solution using both the decorrelating and the MMSE criteria.Simulation results show that, for macrodiversity OFDM, our approach resultsin significantly improved performance and robustness to frequency offsets.     

Optimal Pulses Robust to Carrier Frequency Offset for OFDM/QAM Systems

Optimal pulses with minimum ICI power at a given CFO point for OFDM/QAM systems are found analytically. A lower bound of the ICI power is introduced as a measure of the robustness to CFO for a given pulse. Numerical comparison verifies that the optimal pulse is more robust to CFO than previously suggested pulses at the selected CFO point.     

Space-Time Adaptive MMSE Multiuser Decision Feedback Detectors With Multiple-Feedback Interference Cancellation for CDMA Systems

In this paper, we propose a novel space-time minimum mean square error (MMSE) decision feedback (DF) detection scheme for direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems with multiple receive antennas, which employs multiple-parallel-feedback (MPF) branches for interference cancellation. The proposed space-time receiver is then further combined with cascaded DF stages to mitigate the deleterious effects of error propagation for uncoded schemes. To adjust the parameters of the receiver, we also present modified adaptive stochastic gradient (SG) and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms that automatically switch to the best-available interference cancellation feedback branch and jointly estimate the feedforward and feedback filters. The performance of the system with beamforming and diversity configurations is also considered. Simulation results for an uplink scenario with uncoded systems show that the proposed space-time MPF-DF detector outperforms existing schemes such as linear, parallel DF (P-DF), and successive DF (S-DF) receivers in terms of bit error rate (BER) and achieves a substantial capacity increase in terms of the number of users, compared with the existing schemes. We also derive the expressions for MMSE achieved by the analyzed DF structures, including the novel scheme, with imperfect and perfect feedback and expressions of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for the beamforming and diversity configurations with linear receivers.

Alternating Multiuser Detection with Soft Interference Cancellation for Heterogeneous-Signaling MIMO CDMA Systems

This paper presents an effective alternating multiuser detector for the uplink of heterogeneous-signaling multiple-input multiple-output code division multiple access systems over multipath fading channels, where the data are transmitted using either spatially multiplexing for high transmission rate or space-time block code for transmit diversity gains. The new MUD first separates users into two groups according to their transmission signaling schemes and then detects the transmitted symbols in each group alternately with the removal of iteratively refined soft information-assisted multiple access interference to enhance the interference cancellation capability. Moreover, for practical low-complexity implementations, the users in each group are further partitioned into smaller subgroups based on their effective channel correlations and then detected in parallel by a bank of minimum mean-squared error soft detectors to further reduce the computational load. Conducted simulations show that the proposed MUD can render superior performance compared with previous approaches, especially in highly loaded scenarios.

Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for OFDM Systems with Null Subcarriers

An accurate estimation of carrier frequency offset (CFO) is a crucial task for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems but should be performed with affordable computational complexity for practicality. In this paper, the authors derive two new estimation algorithms (one for the integer part and the other for the fractional part of CFO), each of which utilizes only one OFDM block with null subcarriers but offers improved accuracy and reduced complexity. The proposed estimator for fractional CFOs operates iteratively and is insensitive to the initial CFO. The other proposed estimator for integer CFOs employs a pseudonoise binary random sequence to assist in subcarrier arrangement and accurate estimation of the integer CFO. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods, numerical results are provided from computer simulation and analysis, and comparisons are made with other existing methods in the literature.
