An efficient receiver scheme for downlink ZP-CDMA

A signal transmitted through a wireless channel may be severely distorted by intersymbol interference (ISI) and multiple access interference (MAI). In this paper, we propose an efficient CDMA receiver based on frequency domain equalization (FDE) with a regularized zero forcing (RZF) equalizer and parallel interference cancellation with a unit clipper decision function (CPIC) to combat both the ISI and the MAI. We call this receiver the FDE-RZF-CPIC receiver. This receiver is suitable for downlink zero padding CDMA cellular systems. The effects of the decision function, the channel estimation, the number of cancelled users, and the user loading on the performance of the proposed receiver are discussed in the paper. The bit error rate (BER) of the data received by the proposed receiver is evaluated by computer simulations. The experimental results show that the proposed receiver provides a good performance, even with a large number of interfering users. At a BER of 10^?3, the performance gain of the proposed receiver is about 2 dB over the RAKE receiver with a clipper decision function and PIC in the half-loaded case (eight users) and is much larger in the full-loaded case (16 users).     

Group-blind multi-user detection under multi-path channel

This article proposes an improved generalized side-lobe canceller(GSC)receiver structure based on a new group constraint,which is suitable to eliminate multiple-access interference(MAI),inter-symbol interference(ISI)in direct-sequence code-division multiple access(DS/CDMA)downlink multi-user system.The new group constraint is deduced to construct the group-blind adaptive multi-user detector.The analysis indicates that the improved GSC under the new constraint not only retains the property of suppressing ISI and canceling MAI,but also can extract useful information from the succeeding bit for the desired user.The simulations show that the improved GSC filter can cancel the MAI efficiently whether the wireless channel length is short or long,and achieve better performance than other compared filters.     

Blind adaptive DS/CDMA receivers for multipath and multiuser environments

This paper proposes several blind adaptive receivers to eliminate multiple-access interference (MAI), intersymbol interference (ISI), and interchip interference (ICI) in direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS/CDMA) downlink multiuser systems. We use the following concepts to formulate the cost function: 1) the variance of the despreading output approaches to the variance of the desired signal and 2) the discreteness property of the input signal. The proposed approaches are called variance-oriented approaches (VOAs). The VOA is then applied to three proposed receiver structures, especially the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) scheme that is generally the concept of spatial domain in beamforming system, to eliminate the MAI by one particular constraint in temporal domain. Besides, by this constraint, GSC filter possesses the property of global convergence in multipath environment once the channel estimation is appropriate. Simulation examples are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness and comparison of the proposed blind adaptive receivers.

The SAIC is considerably simpler to implement than existing techniques; computer simulation results demonstrate that it can perform much better than conventional Rake receivers     

Interference Cancellation with Space Diversity for Downlink MC-CDMA Systems

Modern wireless communications require an efficient spectrum usage and high channel capacity and throughput. Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), Linear equalizers, multi-user detection and multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) are possible solutions to achieve spectral efficiency, high channel capacity, eliminate multiple access interference (MAI), eliminate Inter symbol interference (ISI) and robustness against frequency selective fading. In this paper, we combine all these techniques and investigate BER performance. We propose a low complexity receiver structure for Single-input Multiple-output (SIMO) downlink MC-CDMA systems. It employs an interference cancellation scheme to suppress the interference caused by the multipath fading channel. Also, the proposed scheme is developed for MIMO MC-CDMA system. The performance analysis of Downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems with V-BLAST over frequency selective fading channel is investigated under various number of transmit and receive antennas. The simulation results show proposed SIMO equalization with parallel interference cancellation scheme is effective in reducing the ISI and the MAI. It improves the performance significantly and the simulation results show that MIMO MC-CDMA with V-BLAST multi-user detection provides high data rate and the BER significant improvement.     

A Novel Joint Detection of Frequency Offset and MAI for MC-CDMA Systems

While multicarrier CDMA techniques are used to reduce interference and improve the performance of the system in fading channel, carrier frequency offset and multiple access interference remain major obstacles for a multicarrier CDMA system's performance. In this article we propose a novel joint detection method called modified maximum likelihood multistage parallel interference canceller (M-ML-MPIC) to eliminate the frequency offset and MAI simultaneously. The main idea of our approach is to combine PIC multiuser detection and frequency offset estimation based on a maximum likelihood function with guard interval. We discuss our scheme and report on its performance using a set of simulation experiments.     

A Low-Complexity Adaptive Multi-Beam Space-Time Receiver for CCI/ISI Cancellation over Frequency Selective Multipath Channels

A space-time (ST) receiver is proposed for combating the cochannelinterference (CCI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) in a frequency-selectivemultipath environment. The scheme involves two stages. First, a set ofadaptive beamformers pointed at a prescribed angular sector in space isconstructed on an oversampled antenna array, each providing effectivesuppression of CCI and reception of desired signals. Second, afractionally-spaced decision feedback equalizer (DFE) follows to eliminate theISI left in beamformer outputs. In particular, both the beamformers and DFEcan be realized in the form of a generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) with theaid of channel estimation, and partial adaptivity is incorporated for reducedcomplexity processing and improved convergence. The proposed ST receiver canbe employed as a multi-beam smart antenna system which is suitable forcellular communications. Computer simulations demonstrate that it can achievenearly the same performance as the optimal ST minimum mean square error (MMSE)DFE with a much lower implementation complexity.     

Iterative Equalization using Improved Block DFE for Synchronous CDMA Systems

Iterative equalization using optimal multiuser detector and optimal channel decoder in coded CDMA systems improves the bit error rate (BER) performance tremendously. However, given large number of users employed in the system over multipath channels causing significant multiple-access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI), the optimal multiuser detector is thus prohibitively complex. Therefore, the sub-optimal detectors such as low-complexity linear and non-linear equalizers have to be considered. In this paper, a novel low-complexity block decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is proposed for the synchronous CDMA system. Based on the conventional block DFE, the new method is developed by computing the reliable extrinsic log-likelihood ratio (LLR) using two consecutive received samples rather than one received sample in the literature. At each iteration, the estimated symbols by the equalizer is then saved as a priori information for next iteration. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed low-complexity block DFE algorithm offers good performance gain over the conventional block DFE.     

Performance Analysis of Subspace Based Downlink Channel Estimation for W-CDMA Systems Using Chaotic Codes

This paper presents blind channel estimation for downlink W-CDMA system that employs chaotic codes and Walsh codes for spreading information bits of the multiple users. In a W-CDMA system, while transmitting over multipath channels, both intersymbol interference (ISI) as a result of Inter Chip Interference and multiple access interference (MAI) cannot be easily eliminated. Although it is possible to design multiuser detectors that suppress MAI and ISI, these detectors often require explicit knowledge of at least the desired users’ signature waveform. Earlier work focused on a subspace based channel estimation algorithm for asynchronous CDMA systems to estimate the multiple users’ symbols, where only AWGN channel was considered. In our work, we study a similar subspace-based signature waveform estimation algorithm for downlink W-CDMA systems, which use chaotic codes instead of pseudo random codes, that provide estimates of the multiuser channel by exploiting structural information of the data output at the base station. In particular, we show that the subspace of the (data+noise) matrix contains sufficient information for unique determination of channels, and hence, the signature waveforms and signal constellation. We consider Rayleigh and Rician fading channel model to quantify the multipath channel effects. Performance measures like bit error rate and root mean square error are plotted for both chaotic codes and Walsh codes under Rayleigh and Rician fading channels.     

Performance Analysis of the Downlink CP-WCDMA System with Turbo Code in Frequency Domain

In this paper, we combine all these techniques and investigate BER performance. We propose a low complexity receiver structure for Single-input Single-output downlink cyclic prefix CP-WCDMA systems. It employs frequency domain interference cancellation schemes to mitigate the interference caused by the multipath fading channel. Also, the proposed scheme is developed for the downlink Turbo code CP-WCDMA system to maximize the throughput of the proposed system.
