OFDMA-CDM performance enhancement by combining H-ARQ and interference cancellation

In this paper, superimposed packet allocation for orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access code-division multiplexing (OFDMA-CDM) is presented, where each transmitted packet is associated with one spreading code. An iterative algorithm which is a combination of parallel interference cancellation and hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) based on soft value combining (SVC) is proposed, and its performance is studied and compared with other existing H-ARQ schemes. The proposed algorithm exploits the reliability information of erroneously received copies of the same data packet to improve the performance of interference cancellation. The interference of correctly received packets is ideally reconstructed and subtracted. Thus, the overall system performance improves iteratively. As a result, the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional H-ARQ based on SVC, as well as H-ARQ based on maximum ratio combining.     

A single antenna interference cancellation algorithm for increased gsm capacity

In mobile communications networks, system capacity is often limited by cochannel interference. Therefore, receiver algorithms for cancellation of cochannel interference have recently attracted much interest. At the mobile terminal, algorithms can usually rely only on one received signal delivered by a single receive antenna. In this letter, a low-complexity single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC) algorithm for real-valued modulation formats referred to as mono interference cancellation (MIC) is introduced which is well suited for practical applications. Field trials in commercial GSM networks using prototype terminals with the proposed MIC algorithm have demonstrated that the novel concept may yield capacity improvements of up to 80%. The underlying principle is also beneficial for adjacent channel interference and receivers with multiple antennas. Furthermore, in coverage-limited scenarios, there is no performance degradation compared with conventional receivers     

Adaptive parallel interference cancellation for CDMA systems—A weight selection and filtering scheme

Parallel interference cancellation (PIC) is a well-known multiuser detection algorithm in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. It is typically implemented with a multi-stage architecture. One problem associated with the PIC is that unreliable interference cancellation may occur in the early stages and the system performance may be degraded. Thus, the partial PIC detector was developed to control the cancellation level by use of interference cancellation factors. Partial PIC can be implemented with an adaptive form, in which optimal weights are derived using the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. In this paper, we propose an algorithm improving the conventional adaptive partial PIC. The main idea is to reduce the number of active weights in the LMS algorithm, and to perform weight post-filtering such that the resultant excess mean square error can be reduced. We also analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm and derive the bit error rate of the second stage output. Simulation results verify that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional partial PIC, and derived analytical results are accurate.     

A New ML Based Interference Cancellation Technique for Layered Space-Time Codes

This paper presents a new and simple decoding algorithm for layered space time block codes such as the two independent Alamouti's codes which are also called the double space-time transmit diversity (DSTTD) system. By using group interference suppression and successive interference cancellation, we can treat DSTTD as two independent space-time block codes (STBC). We can then decode both of these STBC's through a simple maximum likelihood (ML) detector with null space-based interference cancellation. We also compare the proposed interference cancellation (IC) scheme with the conventional MMSE IC scheme. The performance of the proposed IC scheme is comparable to that of the MMSE IC scheme while the complexity reduction factor of the proposed scheme can be up to 5 compared to the MMSE IC scheme.     

An orthogonalized blind algorithm for hybrid of adaptive array and equalizer

The problems generated by the interference will be more complicated in the future. A combination of adaptive array and equalizer has been employed to solve the problems of interference when an adaptive array alone cannot suppress all the interferences. A constant modules algorithm (CMA) of the combination system was proposed to solve the problems of insufficient degrees of freedom and main‐beam multipath interference when no training signal is transmitted. The limitation of the CMA for combination systems is due to its slow rate of convergence. In this paper, an orthogonalized blind algorithm for hybrid of array and equalizer (OBHAE) is proposed to combat the problems of the interference. Because the modified input vector of the adaptive array is orthogonalized by the OBHAE in advance, the convergent rate of the CMA system can be improved by the OBHAE. When the coherent interference presents, the performance of the system will be degraded. In this paper, an orthogonalized spatial smoothing blind (OSSB) algorithm is proposed to further enhance the cancellation of the coherent interference. In the OSSB, we combine the OBHAE with the spatial smoothing method to combat the coherent interference problem. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the merits of the OBHAE and the OSSB.

VLSI Implementation of the Multistage Detector for Next Generation Wideband CDMA Receivers

The multistage detection algorithm has been proposed as an effective interference cancellation scheme for next generation Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) base stations. In this paper, we propose a real-time VLSI implementation of this detection algorithm in the uplink system, where we have achieved both high performance in interference cancellation and computational efficiency. When interference cancellation converges, the difference of the detection vectors between two consecutive stages is mostly zero. Under the assumption of BPSK modulation, the differences between the bit estimates from consecutive stages are 0 and ±2. Bypassing the zero terms saves computations. Multiplication by ±2 can be easily implemented in hardware as arithmetic shifts. However, the convergence of the algorithm is dependent on the number of users, the interference and the signal to noise ratio and hence, the detection has a variable execution time. By using just two stages of the differencing detector, we achieve predictable execution time with performance equivalent to at least eight stages of the regular multistage detector. A VLSI implementation of the differencing multistage detector is built to demonstrate the computational savings and the real-time performance potential. The detector, handling up to eight users with 12-bit fixed point precision, was fabricated using a 1.2 m CMOS technology and can process 190 Kbps/user for 8 users.

Parallel Interference Cancellation in Multiuser CDMA Channel Estimation

Parallel interference cancellation (PIC) based channel parameter estimators for frequency selective fading channels are proposed for the uplink in code-division multiple-access (CDMA) mobile communication systems. The performance of PIC based algorithms depends heavily on the quality of the multiple-access interference estimates, which can be improved by using adaptive channel estimation filters. The performance of two adaptive complex channel coefficient estimation filters has been verified in a fading channel by computer simulations. According to the results, the PIC based adaptive channel estimators outperform clearly conventional, successive interference cancellation, and decorrelation based adaptive channel estimators. The PIC method is also used in delay tracking. By using the principles of sample-correlate-choose-largest (SCCL) delay trackers, a robust algorithm for multiuser delay tracking in fading channels is obtained.

A new ordering and grouping algorithm for the linear weighted group matched filter successive interference cancellation detector

A linear group-wise successive interference canceller in a synchronous code-division multiple-access system (CDMA) is considered in this paper. The proposed hybrid detector that combines successive and parallel cancellation techniques makes use of advantages offered by the two techniques. The convergence of the hybrid interference cancellation (HIC) detector is guaranteed by an adjustable parameter that depends upon the largest eigenvalue of the system's transition matrix. Since the largest eigenvalue is difficult to estimate, an upper bound is necessary for successful convergence. For this reason, a new upper bound for the maximum eigenvalue of the system's transition matrix was developed. Moreover, a new ordering and grouping algorithm that results in a higher convergence speed is proposed. Simulation results show that a significant improvement in performance is obtained using this technique.     

Soft output interference suppression in TDMA wireless communications

We present a novel symbol-by-symbol Bayesian multiuser detector for cochannel interference cancellation in TDMA cellular communications. To begin with, we present the usual composite signal model consisting of the desired signal, interferer, channel parameters and channel noise. Then, we derive the soft output interference cancellation algorithm (SICA) to compute fixed-lag maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates of the data symbols of the desired user, using a fixed lookahead of D observations. In the process, the interferer symbols are treated as nuisance parameters and averaged out. The complexity of the SICA is exponential in the length of the combined channel at the receiver. Subsequently, we present a simple, yet effective, technique for complexity reduction without significant performance degradation. We apply the algorithm to some typical scenarios, using the IS-136 TDMA standard, to demonstrate its interference suppression capabilities. In this paper, we assume that all relevant channel parameters are known. Hence, our results should be viewed as representing the best possible performance that can be obtained with the SICA in the scenarios considered. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Iterative semi-blind multiuser detection for coded MC-CDMA uplink system

We propose two types of iterative semi-blind receivers for coded multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) uplink systems in the presence of both intracell and intercell interference. The first is based on the minimum mean-square error criterion, and the second is a hybrid scheme, consisting of parallel interference cancellation and linear multiuser detection. These iterative receivers utilize known users' information for the computation of log-likelihood ratios (LLR) while blindly suppressing unknown interference. The LLR are refined successively during the iterative process through decoding of all known users. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed iterative semiblind methods offer substantial performance gain over conventional noniterative and nonblind iterative receivers.

Evaluation of a DS/CDMA multiuser receiver employing a hybrid formof interference cancellation in Rayleigh-fading channels

This paper assesses the performance of a multiuser detection DS/CDMA receiver based on a hybrid scheme of successive interference cancellation (SIC) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC). Two configurations of the proposed hybrid IC are presented and compared with existing SIC and PIC schemes. The performance criteria used for comparison are complexity, delay, power control requirements, and average bit-error rate (BER) performance obtained by simulation in Rayleigh-fading channels with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The suggested hybrid IC combines good average BER performance, short delay, acceptable complexity, and also operates under slow power control
