Performance of the decorrelator receiver for DS-CDMA mobile radio system employing RAKE and diversity through Nakagami fading channel

Multiple-access interference (MAI) and multipath fading are two of the most significant factors limiting the capacity and performance of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. In this paper, synchronous multiuser receivers that combine antenna diversity, RAKE reception, and a multipath decorrelator for MAI cancellation are analyzed in a Nakagami faded environment using a maximal ratio combiner or a selection combiner. A coherent binary phase-shift keying employing DS-CDMA is considered. Arbitrary branch correlation is also considered for any diversity order in the case of identical severity fading on the branches.     

Asynchronous multiple-access interference suppression and chipwaveform selection with aperiodic random sequences

A linear decentralized receiver capable of suppressing multiple-access interference (MAI) for asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems with aperiodic random signature sequences is proposed. Performance bounds on this receiver are also obtained. Using them as performance measures, the problem of chip waveform selection in DS-CDMA systems with the proposed receiver under the near-far scenario is investigated. In particular, the performance of several practical chip waveforms is compared. An LMS-type adaptive algorithm is developed to obtain the parameters needed in the receiver, which only requires the signature sequence and coarse timing information of the desired user     

Bit error performance evaluation of double-differential QPSK infaded channels characterized by Gaussian plus impulsive noise andDoppler effects

A Fourier-Bessel series-based analysis that allows real-time symbol-to-symbol error performance evaluation for mobile radio direct-sequence code division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems is described. The technique analyzes mobile radio communication aeronautic links and generates average bit error rate (BER) and bit-to-bit patterns. Various communication systems parameters (e.g., modulation scheme, data rate, signal-to-noise ratio, and receive speed) as well as multiaccess interference (MAI) environments (i.e., Rayleigh-faded channels with Doppler frequency shift) may be specified and permit performance comparison. Additive white Gaussian (AWG) and impulsive ϵ-mixture type of noise are also considered to be present for the asynchronous and quasi-synchronous DS-CDMA configurations, with both schemes characterized by the incorporation of double-differential QPSK (DDQPSK) modulation. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed combination in terms of multiplexing and digital modulation may be a suitable alternative solution for air-to-air and/or air-to-ground aeronautic communications for optimized BER versus signal-to-noise ratio system performance and, hence, for “best” channel capacity versus receiver complexity     

Optimal PN sequence design for quasisynchronous CDMA communicationsystems

Direct sequence (DS) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) is a modulation and multiple access technique currently being implemented in digital cellular mobile radio communication systems. The conventional quasisynchronous (QS) DS-CDMA communication system is generalized, and the problem of optimal spreading pseudonoise (PN) sequence design for new QS DS-CDMA communication systems is formulated. The classes of optimal PN sequences which have good pseudo-randomness and very small cross-correlation values for some range of offsets are designed by using a matrix-based approach. In contrast to the case of the other sequences, the optimal PN sequences produce small multiple-access interference (MAI) which is not affected by the number of users if there are sufficiently large number of users in the link. The new results are compared with the commonly used PN sequences to prove the superiority of our designed sequences, and the system performance of the QS-CDMA systems using different PN sequences are also evaluated     

Multiple-Access Interference Suppression for Interleaved OFDMA System Uplink

In this paper, the issue of multiple-access interference (MAI) suppression for the uplink in an interleaved orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) system is investigated. In such a system, a carrier frequency offset (CFO) disrupts the orthogonality between the subcarriers and gives rise to MAI among users. Based on the signature vector formulated for each user, we propose a novel detector that performs MAI suppression before CFO compensation and fast Fourier transform (FFT) demodulation. Subspace zero-forcing and minimum mean square error (MMSE) techniques are then developed to suppress MAI. The proposed scheme is shown to become almost MAI free, provided that the CFO estimation is accurate enough. From the obtained simulation results, the proposed scheme is also found to be able to enhance the system performance at low complexity.     

An uplink DS-CDMA receiver using a robust post-correlation Kalman structure

Kalman filtering has been proposed in the literature for wireless channel estimation, however, it is not sufficiently robust to uncertainties in the channel auto-correlation model as well as to multiple access interference (MAI). This paper presents a receiver structure for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems by using robust Kalman estimation and post-correlation (i.e., symbol rate) processing for channel estimation. The proposed structure is also generalized to incorporate multiple-antenna combining and interference cancellation techniques. The resulting receiver outperforms earlier structures in the presence of channel modeling uncertainties, MAI, and low-received signal-to-noise ratio. The enhancement in performance is achieved at the same order of complexity as a standard Kalman-based receiver.     

Performance evaluation of DS-CDMA system with M-ary orthogonalsignaling

The effects of signature sequence on the performance of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems employing Walsh M-ary orthogonal signaling are considered. The mean-squared value of multiple access interference (MAI) is derived by treating the signature sequence as deterministic. The numerical results show that Walsh orthogonal signaling changes the original properties of signature sequences, and a different choice of signature sequence results in significant performance difference. These results can be used as guides in selecting signature sequences for systems that employ Walsh M-ary orthogonal signaling     

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.

Reductions of multiple-access interference in fiber-grating-based optical CDMA network

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) encoder/decoder scheme based on correlation subtractions of nearly orthogonal M-sequence codes is presented. With proper coder design, a receiver can reject interfering users and obtain quasi-orthogonality between optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) users in the network. However, optical CDMA networks may be degraded by multiple-access interference (MAI) due to nonflattened incoherent sources and nonideal FBG coders. A compensating module is therefore proposed to compensate for such MAI effects. As a result, the MAI effects induced by nonideal FBG coders can be perfectly eliminated by the compensating module. With spectral width reduction on the incoherent source, the scheme can partly compensate the MAI effects induced by nonflattened sources and further reduce the average error probability in the system performance.     

An enhanced widely linear CDMA receiver with OQPSK modulation

This paper studies an enhanced widely linear (WL) receiver for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems that employ aperiodic spreading sequences with offset quadrature phase-shift keying (OQPSK) modulation. The modulation scheme generates improper complex multiple-access interference (MAI) and necessitates the use of WL receivers. Focus is on bandlimited pulse shapes and the inherent cyclostationarity (CS) of the uncoded received signal. The enhanced WL receiver replaces the conventional chip-matched filter with new filters that exploit the CS of the received signal through frequency shifting. The proposed WL receiver is shown to outperform the classical strictly linear (SL) receiver when the interfering users are (quasi-)synchronous with respect to the user of interest. High-powered interfering users, that may exist to support high data rates, increase the performance improvement delivered by the WL receiver. Moreover, it is shown that MAI can become proper, either identically or asymptotically, when users are asynchronous and equally powered. This is despite the fact that individual interfering signals are improper. Numerical results demonstrate that the WL receiver can outperform the SL receiver by 1-3 dB under the examined scenarios with current CDMA standards settings. In asynchronous or quasi-synchronous transmission modes, performance gain of the WL receiver degrades unless the number of high-powered active users remains small. An example for implementation of the WL receiver is proposed and compared with that of the SL receiver when minimum-shift keying modulation, a special case of OQPSK, is used. The implementation is based on a fractionally spaced equalizer whose taps are updated by an adaptive algorithm. It is shown that the proposed structure is capable of delivering the maximum signal-to-noise ratio predicted by theory.     

DS-CDMA system with joint channel estimation and MAP detection intime-selective fading channels

In this paper, maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection is applied to a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system jointly with identification and estimation of time-selective fading channels. By sampling the outputs of the matched filter and combining antenna array elements, strong and time-varying multiple-access interference (MAI) is characterized and suppressed instantaneously. The decision statistics for MAP detection are obtained from the conditional probability density function of the prediction error. The prediction is accomplished by approximating the fading channel with a constrained nonlinear state model. Unknown parameters such as auto-regressive (AR) process coefficients, noise covariance matrices, and the antenna array vector are estimated based on received sample vectors only. Also, differential modulation is applied to eliminate the need for pilot insertion. Through computer simulations, near-optimum bit error rates (BERs) are found     

Binary-Code-Allocation Scheme in DS-CDMA Systems

In this paper, we consider a simple binary-transmitter adaptation in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access systems. We propose a binary-code-allocation scheme for reducing the multiple-access interference (MAI). In this scheme, a user is given an orthogonal binary sequence set. By choosing a better sequence from the sequence set, the user can maximize his/her signal to interference ratio. We examine the scheme analytically by both exact analysis and approximation in equal-power synchronous cases. Theoretically, it is found that the scheme can significantly reduce the MAI. It only involves a few bits of feedback information for the transmitter to adjust the sequences. The scheme can also be modified for multiuser adaptation in asynchronous channels. In a multiuser adaptation, simulations show that the users would have a significantly improved performance against the MAI, and the system throughput can also be increased. It is shown that this binary-code-allocation scheme is a simple, widely applicable, and robust binary-sequence-adaptation scheme

Spectral efficiency of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access in cellular mobile radio

In this paper, the spectral efficiency achieved by a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system operating in a cellular mobile radio environment is discussed. In contrast to previous works, here, spectral efficiency is examined in terms of channel capacity per user, estimated in an average sense, and the system's inherent diversity potential is considered. The analysis covers only the forward link, assuming a static model of operation for the considered DS-CDMA system. In addition, it is shown that the application of a power control scheme leads to spectral efficiency enhancement due to cochannel interference reduction. Hence, the derived expressions provide a means for quantitative evaluation of cellular DS-CDMA spectral efficiency with respect to multiple-access and cochannel interference. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Performance of generalized multicarrier DS-CDMA over Nakagami-mfading channels

A class of generalized multicarrier direct sequence code-division multiple-access (MC DS-CDMA) schemes is defined and its performance is considered over multipath Nakagami-m fading channels. The spacing between two adjacent subcarriers of the generalized MC DS-CDMA is a variable, allowing us to gain insight into the effects of the spacing on the bit error rate (BER) performance of MC DS-CDMA systems. This generalized MC DS-CDMA scheme includes the subclasses of multitone DS-CDMA and orthogonal MC DS-CDMA as special cases. We present a unified analytical framework for determining the exact average BER of the generalized MC DS-CDMA system over generalized multipath Nakagami-m (1960) fading channels. The optimum spacing of the MC DS-CDMA system required for achieving the minimum BER is investigated and the BER performance of the system having optimum spacing is evaluated. The resultant BER is compared with that of both multitone DS-CDMA and orthogonal MC DS-CDMA

An embedded transmission scheme using PPM signaling with symmetric error-correcting codes for optical CDMA

An embedded transmission (ET) scheme is proposed to easily apply error-correcting codes into optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems for immunity from multiple-access interference (MAI). The ET scheme offers high transmission capability over the traditional scheme using pulse position modulation (PPM) signaling, because a 2/sup J/-ary symbol of each user is embedded in the signature sequence with 2/sup J/ weighted positions. Furthermore, the ET scheme with 2/sup J/-ary PPM signaling makes the optical CDMA system J parallel transmission systems, because J bits consisting of 2/sup J/-ary symbol are separately decided. Since such a separate decision is a comparison decision, the effect of MAI added in the optical channel is converted to symmetric errors in the individual parallel transmission systems. Using the symmetric error-correcting (SEC) code immunizes the individual parallel transmission systems against MAI more easily than the embedded-modulation scheme described in because the ET scheme avoids using the asymmetric error correcting code, which is difficult to implement. We analyze the bit error rate under Poisson photon counting channel and show that the ET scheme has an advantage of good energy efficiency over the traditional scheme in applying SEC codes.     

Multiple-access interference processes are self-similar in multimedia CDMA cellular networks

We consider bursty data communications in code-division multiple-access (CDMA) cellular networks. The significant fluctuation of the cochannel multiple-access interference (MAI) in such systems makes it very challenging to carry out radio resource management. A main goal of this paper is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the temporal correlation structure of the MAI, which plays a crucial role in effective resource allocation. To this end, we take a cross-layer design approach, and characterize the stochastic MAI process while taking into account both the burstiness of data traffic and time-varying channel conditions. Our main results reveal that under standard assumptions on ON/OFF traffic flows and fading channels, the MAI process exhibits scale-invariant burstiness and is "self-similar" (with Hurst parameter 1/2相似文献   

Optimal spreading sequence design based on PR-QMF theory
