Overlapped universal filtered multicarrier system for uplink wireless communication

Universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) is a promising new waveform that eliminates cyclic prefix and performs filtering on a chunk of successive subcarriers. Therefore, it is suitable for applications with requirements on high spectral efficiency and low latency. However, the limited bandwidth may be an obstacle for reliable communication in frequency selective channels. This paper proposes a new transmitter structure for uplink wireless communication system based on UFMC waveform. The basic idea is to allow a user to transmit its information on more than one subband simultaneously, increasing its robustness against frequency selectivity. To eliminate the multiuser interference brought by the overlapped transmission strategy, an iterative receiver with parallel interference cancellation is designed. Rate analysis is provided to reveal the rationale of the proposed scheme. Simulations on the symbol error rate performance are conducted to validate the transceiver design. It is found that the proposed scheme outperforms existing UFMC design without sacrificing any other performance metrics with only moderately increased complexity.     

Tradeoff between diversity gain and interference suppression in a MIMO MC-CDMA system

In this paper, the uplink of an asynchronous multi-carrier direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (MC-DS-CDMA) system with multiple antennas at both the transmitter and the receiver is considered. We analyze the system performance over a spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channel with multiple-access interference (MAI), and evaluate the antenna array performance with joint fading reduction and MAI suppression. Assuming perfect channel knowledge available at the transmitter, maximal ratio transmission is employed to weight the transmitted signal optimally in terms of combating signal fading. At the receiver, adaptive beamforming reception is adopted to both suppress MAI and combat the fading. Note that while correlations among the fades of the antennas in the receive array reduce the diversity gain against fading, the array still has the capability for interference suppression. We examine the effect of varying the number of transmit and receive antennas on both the diversity gain and the interference suppression.     

Joint Turbo Equalization and Multiuser Detection of MC-CDMA Signals With Low Envelope Fluctuations

In this paper, we consider the uplink transmission in multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems. As other multicarrier signals, MC-CDMA signals have high envelope fluctuations and a high peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR), which leads to amplification difficulties. This is particularly important for the uplink transmission, since an efficient low-cost power amplification is desirable at the mobile terminals (MTs). Moreover, the transmission over time-dispersive channels destroys the orthogonality between spreading codes, which might lead to significant multiple-access interference levels. To reduce the envelope fluctuations of the transmitted signals, while maintaining the spectral efficiency, the MC-CDMA signal associated to each MT is submitted to a clipping device, followed by a frequency-domain filtering operation. However, the nonlinear distortion effects can be high when an MC-CDMA transmitter with reduced envelope fluctuations is intended (e.g., a small clipping level and/or when successive clipping and filtering operations are employed). In this paper, we define an iterative receiver that jointly performs a turbo multiuser detection and the estimation and cancellation of the nonlinear distortion effects. Our performance results show that the proposed receiver structure allows good performances, very close to the linear receiver ones, even for high system load and/or when a PMEPR as low as 1.7 dB is intended for each MT.      

High-Bit-Rate Dense SS-WDM PON Using SOA-Based Noise Reduction With a Novel Balanced Detection

The major drawback of incoherent broadband sources (BBSs) is their inherent intensity noise. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) can be exploited at the transmitter to mitigate this noise. Optical filtering at the receiver, however, leads to the return of most of suppressed noise. Wider filtering at the receiver is the best known strategy to maintain performance gains, at the price of reduced spectral efficiency due to the tradeoff between noise cleaning and adjacent channel crosstalk. We introduce a novel balanced receiver for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems that maintains greater noise cleaning and leaves spectral efficiency unchanged. Unlike standard receivers, our balanced scheme does not filter the desired signal. In this paper, we first demonstrate that the newly proposed receiver is equivalent to standard WDM receivers when no SOA for noise cleaning is present at the transmitter. Although a 2.9-dB power penalty is incurred, network capacity is unchanged, i.e., bit error rate (BER) floors due to intensity noise are the same. When SOAs are employed to mitigate severe intensity noise, we show that our receiver outperforms the wide filtering strategy by two orders of magnitude. Dense WDM capacity is demonstrated up to 10 Gb/s using a thermal source, a saturated SOA, and the balanced detection scheme. A BER of 10^-6 is achieved at 10 Gb/s; further improvement is possible using low overhead forward error correction or a better SOA design. This demonstrates the ability of spectrum-sliced wavelength division multiplexing (SS-WDM) passive optical networks (PONs) to operate at 10 Gb/s at good spectral efficiency. Error performance better than 10^-9 is achieved up to 8 Gb/s with 30-GHz optical channel bandwidth and 100-GHz spacing.     

Spectral efficiency of MIMO multiaccess systems with single-user decoding

The use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver is considered for the uplink of cellular communication systems. The achievable spectral efficiency in bits/s/Hz is used as the criterion for comparing various design choices. The focus is on wideband code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems when the receiver uses the matched-filter or the minimum mean-squared error detector, followed by single-user decoders. The spreading sequences of the CDMA system are assumed to be random across the users, but could be dependent across the transmit antennas of each user. Using analytical results in the large system asymptote, guidelines are provided for the sequence design across the transmit antennas and for choosing the number of antennas. In addition, comparisons are made between (random) CDMA and orthogonal multiaccess with multiple antennas. It is shown that CDMA, even with single-user decoding, can outperform orthogonal multiaccess when the number of receive antennas is sufficiently large.     

Compensation of non-reciprocal interference in adaptive MIMO-OFDM cellular systems

In a time-division-duplex communication system, the channel knowledge can be obtained at the transmitter side due to channel reciprocity and it can be used to increase the spectral efficiency of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. However, the interference structure between transmission directions does not necessarily correlate. The obtained quality of service at the receiver may differ significantly from the desired one if the transmission parameters are assigned based on the reverse link measurements only. In this paper, the performance of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) cellular system with adaptive MIMO transmission is studied in the presence of non-reciprocal inter-cell interference when the downlink interference structure is known at the receiver and only limited feedback information about the interference is available at the transmitter. The results are compared to those with perfectly known interference structure per each sub-carrier. The system level impact of realistic interference non-reciprocity scenarios is studied via network simulations. Linear minimum mean squared error (MMSE) filter is applied at the receiver to suppress the impact of structured inter-cell interference together with a simple and bandwidth efficient closed-loop compensation algorithm. Both link and system level simulation results show that the proposed compensation algorithm with a simple scalar power offset feedback combined with interference suppression at the receiver results in nearly the same performance as the ideal case     

On the performance of wireless sensor networks with QSSK modulation in the presence of co-channel interference

This paper proposes the use of quadrature space shift keying (QSSK) modulation for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). QSSK is a multiple input multiple output communication protocol that attracted substantial interest due to several promised inherent advantages. It has been shown in literature that QSSK scheme achieves high spectral efficiency with low average error probability, high energy efficiency, and very simple transmitter and receiver architectures. Hence, its use in WSNs is very promising to ameliorate the major limitations of such networks. The performance of a WSN with QSSK modulation and in the presence of co-channel interference is studied in this paper. A closed form expression for the average pair wise error probability is derived and used to obtain a tight upper bound on the overall average bit error ratio. Obtained results verified the superiority of QSSK scheme as compared to traditional modulation techniques especially for high spectral efficiency.     

An adaptive CMMSE receiver for space-time block-coded CDMA systems in frequency-selective fading channels

A technique that can suppress multiple-access interference (MAI) in space-time block-coded (STBC) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems is developed. The proposed scheme, called a constrained minimum mean square error (CMMSE) receiver, is an extension of the CMMSE receiver for a single-input-single-output system to MIMO systems. It is shown that the complexity of the proposed CMMSE receiver is almost independent of the number of transmitter antennas. The advantage of the proposed receiver over the existing receivers for STBC CDMA systems is demonstrated by comparing the closed-form expressions of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio and simulated bit error rates. The results indicate that the proposed CMMSE receiver can provide a significant performance improvement over the conventional receivers and that the gain achieved by suppressing the MAI can be larger than that from increasing the transmitter or receiver diversity.     

Time-spreading wavelength-hopping optical CDMA system using EWO and TCM

In this paper, time-spreading wavelength-hopping optical CDMA system using trellis coded modulation scheme is investigated. The carrier hopping prime code and its shifted version are employed as signature sequences. Since the carrier hopping prime code is a symmetric code, the out of phase autocorrelation is zero. Applying the orthogonality of the signature sequences, the ternary transmission mechanism can be achieved. The proposed coding scheme is simple in both transmitter and receiver. As the multiple access interference and beat noise are the major deterioration of system performance, using coding scheme is an effective way to reduce the error floor. The numerical results reveal that the proposed coding scheme can significantly improve the system performance.     

Design and Performance Analysis of Soft Decision-Based Network-Assisted Interference Cancellation and Suppression Scheme

Recently, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed a network-assisted interference cancellation and suppression scheme to reduce the effect of interference. In this paper, we propose an advanced receiver based on soft decision to reduce the interference from the neighbor cells. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by calculating the unbiased estimation value of the interference signal using the minimum mean square error or the interference rejection combining receiver. The interference signal is updated using soft information expressed by the log-likelihood ratio. We perform the system-level simulation based on 20 MHz bandwidth of a 3GPP LTE-Advanced sidelink system. The simulation results show that the proposed receiver can improve the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio, throughput, and spectral efficiency of a conventional system.
