A low complexity multiuser detector for synchronous CDMA system

In a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system, multiuser detection (MUD) can exploit the information of signals from other interfering users to increase the system capacity. However, the optimum MUD for CDMA systems requires the solution of an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem. It is well known that the computational complexity of the optimum multiuser detector is exponential with the number of active users in the system. In this paper, we apply a hybrid algorithm to develop a suboptimal MUD strategy. The result of symmetric successive overrelaxation (SSOR) preconditioned conjugate-gradient method is first used to initialize the reduced-complexity recursive (RCR) multiuser detector. Then, RCR algorithm is applied to detect the received data bit by optimizing an objective function in relation with the linear system of decorrelating detector. Simulation results for the synchronous case show that the performance of our proposed SSOR-RCR multiuser detector is promising and outperform the decorrelator and linear minimum mean squared error multiuser detector with lower computational complexity.

Closed-form space-time channel blind estimation for space-time coded MC-CDMA sytems with uniform linear array

This paper proposes a closed-form joint space-time channel and Direction Of Arrival （DOA） blind estimation algorithm for space-thne coded Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access （MC-CDMA） systems equipped with a Uniform Linear Array （ULA） at the base station in frequency-selective fading environments. The algorithm uses an ESPRIT-like method to separate multiple co-channel users with different impinging DOAs. As a result, the DOAs for multiple users are obtained. In particular, a set of signal subspaces, every one of which is spanned by the space-time vector channels of an individual user, are also obtained. From these signal subspaces, the space-time channels of multiple users are estimated using the subspace method. Computer simulations illustrate both the validity and the overall performance of the proposed scheme.     

基于CTIA的PV-HgCdTe线阵近红外激光响应特性

使用超连续谱激光辐照PV 型线阵HgCdTe 探测器,探测到了线阵器件输出信号随光照强度变化的全过程,发现了被辐照单元过饱和降压、低压稳定输出的反常响应规律;同时,未被辐照单元也存在响应。在总结实验响应规律的基础上,给出了各不同响应阶段功率阈值范围,并分别对辐照单元出现的过饱和降压、低压稳定输出等异常现象及未被辐照单元存在的整体降压反常响应现象进行了深入研究。研究认为采用CDS 相关双采样电路使器件的基底信号在强光下存在光响应是造成辐照单元异常响应的主要原因;而器件内部公共P 级结构、电路共用Vref 电压结构是导致未被辐照单元反常响应输出的主要因素。     

Block adaptive subcarrier allocation for wireless multiuser OFDM system

In this paper, a blockwise adaptive subcarrier allocation algorithm for multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is introduced. Assuming the knowledge of channel information for all users, the algorithm minimizes the total transmit power while satisfying the total power and users‘ rate constraints. The result of simulation shows that the proposed algorithm reduces the average bit Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by approximately 4 dB compared with OFDM-Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM-FDMA), and supports more users in a multiuser Rayleigh fading channel. As assigning subcarriers in block, the computational complexity of the algorithm is much lower than that of the derivation of “water-filling” algorithm.

An adaptive multiuser detector for DS‐CDMA systems in multipath fading channels

In this paper, we investigate the performance of an adaptive multistage detection scheme for direct‐sequence code‐division multiple‐access (DS‐CDMA) systems. The first stage consists of an adaptive multiuser detector which is based on the linear constrained minimum variance (LCMV) criterion. The interference cancellation (IC) occurs in the second stage. The performance of the iterative receiver over both flat and frequency‐selective fading channels is investigated and compared to the single‐user bound. In all cases, and under heavy system loads with near‐far problems, the iterative receiver is shown to offer substantial performance improvement and large gain in user‐capacity relative to the standard LCMV. In flat‐fading channels, our results show that the performance of the iterative detector is very close to the single‐user bound. For the frequency‐selective channel, this performance is noted to be in the order of 1 dB far from the single‐user bound. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Performance Analysis of Multiuser Detectors for Uplink Quasi-synchronous MC-CDMA Systems

This paper analyses and compares the average bit error rate (BER) of different multiuser detectors (MUD) in the uplink of a multicarrier code- division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system. In particular, maximum likelihood, zero-forcing, minimum mean-square error and interference cancellation-based multiuser detectors have been analysed for the special case of uncorrelated subcarriers. The derived BER expressions are based upon previous results on diversity combining and also on recent findings on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) architectures. The subcarrier correlation is considered in the context of physical parameters currently under discussion for future wireless systems to give an indication up to what extent the assumption of uncorrelated subcarrier fading is plausible.
