Effect of bit-to-bit dependence on packet error rate using asynchronous DS-CDMA for mobile packet radio networks

The probability of packet success for asynchronous direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) over the multipath fading channel is investigated under different fading conditions and for different cases. We studied the bit-to-bit dependence caused by the multipath fading and by the multiple access interference (MAI) originating from the chip and phase offsets between the desired and interfering signals. We investigated the effect of using the Gaussian versus the improved Gaussian process on the computation of probability of packet success as well as the effect of the bit-to-bit dependence within a packet. The improved Gaussian approximation provides more accurate values for the probability of bit error for any number of simultaneous users, while it also allows us to incorporate the effects of bit-to-bit dependence into the calculations of the probability of packet success.This paper was presented in part at the 17th Biennial Symposium on Communiations, Kingston, June 1994.

Selection and MRC Diversity for a DS/CDMA Mobile Radio System through Nakagami Fading Channel

Spatial diversity is an attractive technology for coping with the fadingchannels encountered in mobile communications.In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) is analyzed theoretically fordiversity reception with a RAKE receiver in aNakagami fading environment using either selection or maximal ratio combining.A coherent binary phase-shiftkeying (CBPSK) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systemis considered. An arbitrary branchcorrelation is also considered for any diversity order in the case ofidentical fading severity on the branches.     

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.     

Performance analysis of shadowed-Rice fading channel with cooperative spectrum sensing

In this paper, the performance analysis of wireless communication system over shadowed-Rice (SR) composite fading channel has been investigated and analysed. The unified analytical expressions of the average symbol error probability (ASEP) for several coherent and non-coherent modulation schemes separately with different constellation sizes are derived for composite fading channel under two different fade mitigation methods, with maximal ratio combining (MRC) microdiversity (Method 1) and MRC applied over the composite fading channel (Method 2). Furthermore, an asymptotic analysis is carried out and a closed-form expression of the ASEP with Method 2 is presented. Analytical expressions of the corresponding average probability of energy detection (PD) are formulated for both the methods. Finally, the derived PD expression is utilised to analyse the performance of cooperative system assuming erroneous feedback channel. Analysis of optimisation of detection threshold as well as number of cognitive users to minimise the total error rate is also carried out. The closed-form expressions are validated by comparing them with exact numerical results and Monte Carlo simulation.

Quality of Service for Rapidly Deployable Radio Networks

In this paper, we present an end-to-end QoS provisioning mechanism for a Rapidly Deployable Radio Network (RDRN). A flow specification tailored for a highly dynamic mobile networking environment has been proposed. The instability of wireless links and the mobility of the nodes influence the flow specification. A flow establishment scheme that uses in-band signaling to establish the flows has been described. This approach is designed to make efficient use of the features of IP at the network level and ATM at the link level. In the event of non-availability of the requested QoS, the flow establishment scheme constantly attempts to scale up to the maximum requirements of the application, and establishes the flow when the resources become available. A QoS architecture for an RDRN system has also been proposed, which provides the framework for the configuration, prediction and maintenance of the end-to-end QoS.

Effect of Microdiversity and Macrodiversity on Average Bit Error Probability in Shadowed Fading Channels in the Presence of Interference

The detrimental effect of short‐term fading and shadowing can be mitigated using microdiversity and macrodiversity systems, respectively. In this paper, implementation of selection combining at both micro and macro levels to improve system performance is analyzed. An assessment of the performance of such a system is carried out by considering the desired signal as Rician fading with lognormal shadowing and cochannel interference signal as Rayleigh fading superimposed over lognormal shadowing. The proposed analysis is complemented by various performance evaluation results, including the effects on overall system performance of fading severity, shadowing spreads and branch correlation existing at the base station, and correlation between base stations.

Performance analysis of cooperative diversity for two-way multi-relay system with channel estimation error

In this work, we consider an amplify-and-forward two-way multi-relay system for wireless communication and investigate the effect of channel estimation error on the error rate performance. With the derivation of effective signal-to-noise ratio at the transceiver and its probability density function, we can get approximate expression for average bit error rate. Simulation results are performed to verify the analytical results.     

A New Coded Cooperation Scheme for Wireless Communications and its Performance Analysis

We propose a new coded cooperation scheme for wireless communications to obtain transmit diversity in the scenarios that agents such as mobile handsets, sensor network nodes and etc., due to size, power or other constraints, cannot utilize multiple antennas. New scheme supports more than two cooperative users with a relatively low cooperation level. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme in a frequency nonselective slow fading channel. For two cooperative users, we provide the exact analytical analysis. However, for more than two users, as the analytical analysis is very complicated, our performance evaluation is based on computer simulations. Our numerical results show that each of the N cooperative users obtains a full diversity order of N at moderate to high signal to noise ratio regimes. In addition, the results indicate that the new coded cooperation scheme can achieve a noticeable gain over the non-cooperative scheme. Further, the simulation results confirm the analytical derivations derived for two cooperative users.

Super-orthogonal space–time trellis codes for two transmit antennas in fast fading channels

Super-orthogonal space–time trellis codes (SOSTTC) are full rate, full diversity space–time codes with high coding gains for quasi-static fading channels. In this paper, this design approach is extended to fast fading channels and new SOSTTC are proposed for BPSK and QPSK modulations based on the design criteria valid for this type of channels. The new full rate codes have 4- and 16-state trellises for BPSK and QPSK cases, respectively, to avoid parallel transitions which restrict the error performance. The frame error performances are evaluated through computer simulations and it is shown that the proposed codes have superior performance in the fast fading case compared to their counterparts previously given in the literature for fast and quasi-static fading channels.
