本文研究了码分多址移动通信系统中RAKE接收机的特性在无线移动信道中一种新的衡量方式。目前已有的无线移动信道的衡量方式，只侧重于对无线电波传播过程的研究。如大尺寸环境路径损失，小尺寸环境多径衰落等；已有的RAKE接收机特性的衡量方式。即分辨多径个数和，只强调RAKE接收机能处理的多径对其性能的影响。这两种衡量方式已不能很好地衡量信道的特性对目前新型RAKE接收机的影响。本文提出了一种新的联合衡量无线信道及RAKE接收机特性的方式－多径分辨系数，它能很好地衡量无线移动信道对新型RAKE接收机的影响以及新型RAKE接收机算法的先进性。

An adaptive multiuser receiver for CDMA systems

A new real-time, digital adaptive multiuser receiver structure is proposed for the uplink in a mobile communications system employing code division multiple access (CDMA). The receiver efficiently implements the decorrelating detector of Lupas and Verdu (1989) and can be adapted to incorporate decision feedback to further improve the detector performance. While the basic receiver design is presented for synchronous CDMA over AWGN channels, experimental evaluation of the receiver for the asynchronous case verifies its robustness for cases when the relative user delays are small compared to the symbol duration as in microcellular scenarios. An efficient decorrelating RAKE combiner for frequency-selective multipath channels is also proposed and analyzed. Performance evaluation of the detector via computer simulation scenarios is conducted in support of analytical results to substantiate its potential for real-time operation     

Combined adaptive RAKE diversity (ARD) and coding for DPSK DS/CDMAmobile radio

A diversity combining scheme, adaptive RAKE diversity (ARD), is proposed for a differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) mobile communications system. The ARD scheme minimizes the mean squared errors in the diversity combiner output. This suppresses the effects of the interference only paths in the time window for path diversity combining. Bit error rate (BER) performances with the proposed ARD and conventional equal gain combining (EGC) schemes are evaluated through laboratory experiments and compared. Block error rate (BKER) performance with the ARD scheme is also evaluated experimentally. Based upon the BKER evaluation results, an error correction scheme is proposed that is suitable for error occurrence characteristics of ARD output     

Experiments on coherent adaptive antenna array diversity forwideband DS-CDMA mobile radio

In wideband direct sequence code division multiple access (W-CDMA), employing an adaptive antenna array is a very promising technique to reduce severe multiple access interference (MAI) from high rate users. A four-antenna pilot symbol-assisted coherent adaptive antenna array diversity (PSA-CAAAD) receiver comprising an adaptive antenna array based on a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion and a RAKE combiner is implemented in preliminary laboratory and field experiments. There are two important design concepts of the PSA-CAAAD receiver. The first is that the adaptive antenna array forms an antenna beam for each resolved propagation path and tracks only slow changes in the directions of arrival (DOAs) and average powers of the desired and interfering user signals. The second is that the RAKE combiner tracks the instantaneous changes in channel conditions and coherently combines the signals of the desired user propagating along the resolved paths to maximize the instantaneous signal-to-interference plus background noise power ratio (SINR). This paper presents, both by laboratory and field experiments, the effectiveness of PSA-CAAAD receiver as a powerful means to reduce severe MAI from high rate users, and that it is more effective than using a space diversity receiver with the same number of antennas in the W-CDMA reverse link     

Linear space-time multiuser detection for multipath CDMA channels

We consider the problem of detecting synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) signals in multipath channels that result in multiple access interference (MAI). It is well known that such challenging conditions may create severe near-far situations in which the standard techniques of combined power control and temporal single-user RAKE receivers provide poor performance. To address the shortcomings of the RAKE receiver, multiple antenna receivers combining space-time processing with multiuser detection have been proposed in the literature. Specifically, a space-time detector based on minimizing the mean-squared output between the data stream and the linear combiner output has shown great potential in achieving good near-far performance with much less complexity than the optimum space-time multiuser detector. Moreover, this space-time minimum mean-squared error (ST-MMSE) multiuser detector has the additional advantage of being well suited for adaptive implementation. We propose novel trained and blind adaptive algorithms based on stochastic gradient techniques, which are shown to approximate the ST-MMSE solution without requiring knowledge of the channel. We show that these linear space-time detectors can potentially provide significant capacity enhancements (up to one order of magnitude) over the conventional temporal single-user RAKE receiver     

On the performance of multicarrier RAKE systems

In this paper, we integrate the multicarrier signaling technique and the RAKE receiver to design a DS-CDMA system with the capability to increase the data rate, mitigate the effect of correlation among the various subcarriers, and suppress partial-band interference. In the proposed system, a data sequence is serial-to-parallel converted, and multicarrier DS-CDMA is used on each of the parallel data streams. The receiver provides a RAKE for each subcarrier, and the outputs of the RAKEs are combined by a maximal-ratio combiner. We employ a correlated subcarrier and frequency-selective fading channel model to derive the average probability of error of the system and compare the results with those of both a single carrier RAKE system and a multicarrier DS-CDMA system in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with an exponential multipath intensity profile, when multiple access interference and partial-band interference are present     

MMSEC-RAKE receivers with resolution reduction of the diversitybranches: analysis, simulation, and applications

In channels where the delay spread is smaller than the chip interval (e.g., an IS-95 system operating in indoor environments), spread-spectrum signals do not give rise to path diversity. In this situation, maximal-ratio combiner (MRC) RAKE receivers with resolution reduction (RR) of the diversity receiver branches may be used by the mobile stations to provide diversity gain, significantly improving system performance. A new resolution reduction technique based on the use of a minimum mean-square-error diversity combiner (MMSEC) is proposed in this work. We show that, under very general assumptions, this new method of RR is optimal. A detailed study of the performance of a dual-branch MMSEC-RAKE receiver with RR in a typical indoor office environment is presented. In order to allow a simple practical implementation, a suboptimal structure of the MMSEC is also proposed. Numerical results show that this new receiver scheme provides a 1.2-dB improvement over the previously proposed RR technique based on MRC, and a 4.9-dB improvement over conventional MRC-RAKE receiver without RR, at a frame-error rate of 0.01 for the downlink of the IS-95 system in a typical indoor office environment     

SVD pre/post-RAKE with adaptive trellis-coded modulation for TDD DSSS applications

Since reciprocal channels can be found in time-division duplex (TDD) systems, TDD direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems are capable of implementing a pre-RAKE structure as a predistortion technique. In this paper, we propose a singular value decomposition (SVD) pre/post-RAKE in which the RAKE combiner is utilized at both the transmitter and the receiver. If the combining weights of the pre- and post-RAKE are determined by the singular value decomposition, then parallel subchannels can be established in the eigenspace. We obtain the optimal information capacity by applying the water-filling solution to the SVD pre/post-RAKE and investigate the capacity behavior at an asymptotic high SNR. The SVD pre/post-RAKE provides remarkable capacity improvement without increasing the average transmit power or frequency bandwidth, since multiple data streams can be reliably transmitted through the parallel subchannels. For practical implementation, the adaptive trellis-coded modulation technique with a bit and power-allocation algorithm is applied to the SVD pre/post-RAKE. Compared with other RAKE structures, the SVD pre/post-RAKE provides a significant performance gain in high data rate communication.     

Performance of multicarrier DS CDMA systems

In this paper, we apply a multicarrier signaling technique to a direct-sequence CDMA system, where a data sequence multiplied by a spreading sequence modulates multiple carriers, rather than a single carrier. The receiver provides a correlator for each carrier, and the outputs of the correlators are combined with a maximal-ratio combiner. This type of signaling has the desirable properties of exhibiting a narrowband interference suppression effect, along with robustness to fading, without requiring the use of either an explicit RAKE structure or an interference suppression filter. We use bandlimited spreading waveforms to prevent self-interference, and we evaluate system performance over a frequency selective Rayleigh channel in the presence of partial band interference; we also compare system performance with that of a single-carrier RAKE system     

Multicarrier DS/SFH-CDMA systems

Multicarrier direct-sequence/slow-frequency-hopping (MC DS/SFH) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems are proposed, in which multiple carriers are modulated by the same DS waveform and hopped in frequency according to a random hopping pattern. The receiver dehops the received signal with the same pattern, provides RAKE receivers for each carrier, and combines the outputs with a maximal ratio combiner (MRC). The performance of the proposed system is investigated over a frequency-selective Rayleigh-fading channel and compared to that of the MC DS-CDMA systems. It is shown that for the same diversity order, the MC DS/SFH-CDMA systems are superior in reducing multiple-access interference (MAI) while preserving the good capability of narrowband interference suppression, when the system parameters are selected properly.     

A HYBRID INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION SCHEME FOR BLIND MULTIUSER DETECTION IN MULTIPATH FADING CHANNELS

This paper introduces and analyzes a detection scheme for adaptive suppression of Multiuser Access Interference(MAI) and Multipath Distortion(MPD) for mobile station of DS/CDMA system.The proposed detection scheme may amount to a RAKE receiver structure, wherein each branch is considered as a linear multiuser filter designed under a Linear Constrained Minimum Variance(LCMV) optimization strategy to suppress MAI, followed by a proper combin-ing rule to suppress MPD.The adaptive blind multiuser detecting and optimum combining of the proposed receiver are realized, based on the Least-Mean-Square(LMS) algorithm and an adap-tive vector tracking algorithm respectively.Finally,the feasibility of the above two algorithms is proved by the numerical results provided by computer simulation.
