Adaptive blind receivers for MC‐CDMA communication systems

In this paper, we propose three adaptive blind algorithms for multiuser multicarrier code division multiple‐access systems in multipath fading channels. The proposed adaptive blind receivers are based on the property of the discreteness of the input data symbol and are updated in every symbol interval. We also use the concept that the variance of the output signal approaches to the variance of the desired signal to get the cost function. The three proposed receiver structures are the traditional finite impulse response (FIR) structure, the despreading (DES) filter structure and the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure. The advantage of the FIR filter is that the length of the filter weights does not have to be the same length as the spreading code. For the DES filter, the combination of the adaptive weight and the despreading code has the simplest structure than the other two proposed receiver structures. The constrained GSC filter is superior to the other two proposed receiver structures in the environments dominated by multiple‐access interference. By this constraint, the blind GSC filter can guarantee to converge to the desired solution. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness and comparison of the proposed adaptive blind receivers. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blind adaptive multiuser detection for DS/SSMA communications withgeneralized random spreading

A new spreading scheme and an accompanying blind adaptive receiver structure are proposed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access communications in a slowly-varying, frequency-selective fading channel. Each user's spreading sequence is given by the Kronecker product of a long-period pseudonoise (PN) sequence, which is accurately modeled by a random sequence, and a short-length deterministic signature code. This spreading scheme bridges the gap between pure PN spreading and pure short-code spreading schemes. It is shown that with this spreading scheme, the channel response to the desired signal component is easily estimated without relying on the spectral decomposition of the signal correlation matrix. With the estimate of the channel response, the receiver suppresses interference based on the maximum signal-to-interference ratio criterion. The blind adaptive receiver requires only coarse timing information and a priori knowledge of the desired user's PN sequence for adaptation. Numerical results show that the adaptive receiver significantly suppresses interference by successfully estimating the channel response and the interference statistics with a low computational complexity. An extension to spatio-temporal processing using an array antenna is also discussed     

A Blind RAKE Receiver With Robust Multiuser Interference Cancelation for DS/CDMA Communications

In this paper, a blind RAKE receiver with robust multiuser access interference cancellation is presented for frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. In contrast to a conventional receiver, here, only knowledge of the spreading code and rough timing of the desired user is required. By investigating the code space of the multipath signals and the data vector space, a RAKE filtering vector is developed to extract the desired data from all the paths of the desired user. Our proposed technique not only exploits the characteristics of multipath propagation but also the characteristics of timing offsets that may occur in the receiver, to facilitate the application of a blind linear filter-optimization technique for robust interference suppression. Based on the RAKE filtering vector, interference rejection is implemented by using the auxiliary-vector (AV) technique. Our approach, however, effectively overcomes the sensitivity of the original AV method to multipath propagation and timing offsets. To mitigate the signal cancellation at relatively high signal-to-interference and noise ratios (SINR) resulting from the estimation errors of the RAKE filtering vector, robust strategies are introduced in addition to the linear filter optimization. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Adaptive transmitter optimization for blind and group-blind multiuser detection

The linear subspace-based blind and group-blind multiuser detectors recently developed represent a robust and efficient adaptive multiuser detection technique for code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. In this paper, we consider adaptive transmitter optimization strategies for CDMA systems operating in fading multipath environments in which these detectors are employed. We make use of more recent results on the analytical performance of these blind and group-blind receivers in the design and analysis of the transmitter optimization techniques. In particular, we develop a maximum-eigenvector-based method of optimizing spreading codes for given channel conditions and a utility-based power control algorithm for CDMA systems with blind or group-blind multiuser detection. We also design a receiver incorporating joint optimization of spreading codes and transmitter power by combining these algorithms in an iterative configuration. We will see that the utility-based power control algorithm allows us to efficiently set performance goals through utility functions for users in heterogeneous traffic environments and that spreading code optimization allows us to achieve these goals with lower transmit power. The signal processing algorithms presented here maintain the blind (or group-blind) nature of the receiver and are distributed, i.e., all power and spreading code adjustments can be made using only locally available information.     

AMOUR-generalized multicarrier transceivers for blind CDMAregardless of multipath

Suppression of multiuser interference (MUI) and mitigation of multipath effects constitute major challenges in the design of third-generation wireless mobile systems. Most wide-band and multicarrier uplink code-division multiple-access (CDMA) schemes suppress MUI statistically in the presence of unknown multipath. For fading resistance, they all rely on transmit- or receive-diversity and multichannel equalization based on bandwidth-consuming training sequences or self-recovering techniques at the receiver end. Either way, they impose restrictive and difficult to check conditions on the finite-impulse response channel nulls. Relying on block-symbol spreading, we design a mutually-orthogonal usercode-receiver (AMOUR) system for quasi-synchronous blind CDMA that eliminates MUI deterministically and mitigates fading regardless of the unknown multipath and the adopted signal constellation. AMOUR converts a multiuser CDMA system into parallel single-user systems regardless of multipath and guarantees identifiability of users' symbols without restrictive conditions on channel nulls in both blind and nonblind setups. An alternative AMOUR design called Vandermonde-Lagrange AMOUR is derived to add flexibility in the code assignment procedure. Analytic evaluation and preliminary simulations reveal the generality, flexibility, and superior performance of AMOUR over competing alternatives     

Blind space-time multiuser channel estimation in time-varying DS-CDMA systems

A multistep linear prediction (MSLP) approach is presented for blind channel estimation for short-code direct sequence code division multiple access signals in time-varying multipath channels using a receiver antenna array. The time-varying channel is assumed to be described by a complex exponential basis expansion model. First, a recently proposed MSLP approach to blind channel estimation for time-varying single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems is extended to time-varying multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to define a "signal" subspace. Second, the knowledge of the spreading code of a desired user is exploited in conjunction with the signal subspace to estimate the time-varying channel of the desired user up to an unknown time-invariant scale factor. Equalization/detection for the desired user can be then carried out if the information sequence is differentially encoded/decoded. Sufficient conditions for channel identifiability are investigated. Three illustrative simulation examples are provided.     

A beamspace-time interference cancelling CDMA receiver for sectoredcommunications in a multipath environment

A beamspace-time (BT) receiver is proposed for interference suppression and multipath diversity reception in sectored wireless code division multiple access communications. The scheme involves two stages. First, a set of adaptive space-time diversity processors, in the form of beamformer-correlator pairs, is constructed which provides effective suppression of unwanted interference and reception of signals from a prescribed space-time region. Second, the output data obtained by these processors are maximum ratio combined to capture the signal multipath components coherently. The proposed BT receiver is blind in that no training signal is required. The only information required is the signature sequence, timing and a rough estimate of the angle of arrival of the signal for selecting the sector of interest     

A Multiuser Detection Receiver Using Blind Antenna Array and Adaptive Parallel Interference Cancellation

In this paper, the problem of multiuser detection for synchronous code division multiple access systems in both additive white Gaussian noise and multipath channels is addressed. A new multiuser detection receiver that uses an adaptive blind array along with an adaptive parallel interference canceler is proposed. The replacement of a conventional antenna array with a two-dimensional RAKE receiver is also considered for frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels. By using a constrained optimization criterion along with the gradient-projection algorithm, a blind algorithm for the adaptation of the array response vector is proposed. The new algorithm is superior to a few typical blind algorithms in the literature in terms of both performance and computational complexity. The proposed receiver has the ability to cancel very strong multiple access interference coming from the same direction as the desired signal. Simulation results are presented to show the excellent performance of the proposed combination scheme in comparison to that of using either a multiuser detection or adaptive antenna arrays in a severe near-far situation.
