A matrix-algebraic approach to successive interference cancellationin CDMA

In this paper, we describe linear successive interference cancellation (SIC) based on matrix-algebra. We show that linear SIC schemes (single stage and multistage) correspond to linear matrix filtering that can be performed directly on the received chip-matched filtered signal vector without explicitly performing the interference cancellation. This leads to an analytical expression for calculating the resulting bit-error rate which is of particular use for short code systems. Convergence issues are discussed, and the concept of ϵ-convergence is introduced to determine the number of stages required for practical convergence for both short and long codes     

Systematic approach to multistage linear successive interferencecancellation for multiuser detection in dynamic asynchronous CDMAsystems

A systematic approach is proposed for the implementation of multistage linear successive interference cancellation (SIC) in dynamic asynchronous CDMA systems. It is shown that the multistage linear SIC can asymptotically converge to the ideal decorrelating or LMMSE detector in the random code time-varying CDMA systems as well as in short-code time-invariant systems. Through simulations it is found that a moderate number of stages gives a performance close to that of an ideal detector

NOMA Transceiver Design for Highway Transportation in Mobile Hotspot Networks

The mobile hotspot network (MHN), which is capable of providing a data rate of gigabits per second at high speed, is considered a potential use case of the future enhanced mobile broadband for 5G. Because a unidirectional network deployment has been considered for an MHN, non‐orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be employed to improve the system performance. For a practical implementation of NOMA under an MHN highway scenario where multiple pieces of MHN terminal equipment are served through the same beam simultaneously, a NOMA transceiver is proposed in this paper. For the NOMA transmitter, Gray‐coded QAM constellation mapping is extended to arbitrary modulation order q. For the NOMA receiver, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is no longer necessary, and instead, a parallel demodulation is proposed. The numerical and simulation results suggest that the proposed NOMA transceiver outperforms the conventional NOMA SIC receiver and can be flexibly used for an MHN highway scenario.     

Iterative power control for imperfect successive interference cancellation

Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is a technique for increasing the capacity of cellular code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. To be successful, SIC systems require a specific distribution of the users' received powers, especially in the inevitable event of imperfect interference cancellation. This apparent complication of standard CDMA power control has been frequently cited as a major drawback of SIC. In this paper, it is shown that surprisingly, these "complications" come with no additional complexity. It is shown that 1-bit UP/DOWN power control-like that used in commercial systems-monotonically converges to the optimal power distribution for SIC with cancellation error. The convergence is proven to within a discrete step-size in both signal-to-noise plus interference ratio and power. Additionally, the algorithm is applicable to multipath and fading channels and can overcome channel estimation error with a standard outer power control loop.     

Space–Time Turbo Equalization With Successive Interference Cancellation for Frequency-Selective MIMO Channels

This paper addresses the issue of iterative space–time equalization for multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective fading channels. A new soft equalization concept based on successive interference cancellation (SIC) is introduced for a space–time bit-interleaved coded modulation (STBICM) transmission. The proposed equalizer allows us to separate intersymbol interference (ISI) and multiantenna interference (MAI) functions. Soft ISI is successively suppressed using a low-complexity suboptimum minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. The decoupling of ISI and MAI offers more flexibility in the design of the whole space–time equalizer. Different multiantenna detection criteria can be considered, ranging from simple detectors to the optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion. In particular, we introduce two soft equalizers, which are called SIC/SIC and SIC/MAP, and we show that they can provide a good performance-to-complexity tradeoff for many system configurations, as compared with other turbo equalization schemes. This paper also introduces an MMSE-based iterative channel state information (CSI) estimation algorithm and shows that attractive performance can be achieved when the proposed soft SIC space–time equalizer iterates with the MMSE-based CSI estimator.

Successive Interference Cancelers for Multimedia Multicode DS-CDMA Systems Over Frequency-Selective Fading Channels

Noncoherent and coherent multicode direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems with successive interference cancellation (SIC) for multimedia reverse links over frequency-selective fading channels are studied. Followed by a RAKE receiver, the SIC scheme is applied for combating the multiple access interference. The bit error rate (BER) using the SIC technique over Nakagami-m fading channels is derived. Simulation results show that the multicode DS-CDMA system with SIC has demonstrated better performance than that without SIC under the multipath fading environment, while their corresponding numerical results from performance analyses are also provided for verifications. Furthermore, the coherent receiver could achieve a more satisfactory BER than the noncoherent counterpart at the expense of synchronization.     

Performance of multicarrier CDMA with successive interference cancellation in a multipath fading channel

A high capacity, low complexity, and robust system design for a successive interference cancellation (SIC) system is developed and analyzed. Multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) is used to suppress multipath and to overcome the multipath channel estimation problem in single-carrier SIC systems. In addition, an optimal power control algorithm for MC-CDMA with SIC is derived, allowing analytical bit-error rate expressions to be found for an uncoded system. Low-rate forward error-correcting codes are then added to the system to achieve robustness. It is found that the capacity of the coded system approaches the additive white Gaussian noise capacity for SIC, even in a fading multipath channel with channel estimation error. This indicates that MC-CDMA is very attractive for systems employing SIC.     

Performance tradeoffs among low‐complexity detection algorithms for MIMO‐LTE receivers

The upcoming Third‐Generation Partnership Project—Long‐Term Evolution (3GPP‐LTE) cellular standard will employ spatial multiplexing to significantly increase the data rates. Detection of the spatially multiplexed signals is an essential issue in the design of an LTE receiver. In this paper, we evaluate the performance–complexity tradeoffs for a set of low‐complexity multiple input multiple output (MIMO) detection algorithms in a realistic LTE downlink system. Specifically, antenna correlation and channel estimation errors have been considered for a practical MIMO‐LTE receiver. An LTE downlink model has been implemented in order to evaluate three types of detectors: linear, unsorted successive interference cancellation (SIC), and ordered SIC. Our simulation results show that the unsorted SIC detectors present a very poor performance–complexity tradeoff. Besides, linear detectors are shown to be the best candidates as the performance improvement for the ordered SIC detectors is not significant in a realistic scenario.

On Multiple Access Using H-ARQ with SIC Techniques for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

In this paper, we consider non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for wireless ad hoc networks over block fading channels where the performance is limited by interference and fading. In order to provide a reasonable performance, we can use re-transmission and interference cancellation techniques. Re-transmission techniques can provide a diversity gain over fading channels, while the successive interference cancellation (SIC) can improve the signal to interference ratio (SIR). Using the information outage probability, we show that the NOMA approach with re-transmissions can perform better than the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) approach with re-transmissions when the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is low. It is also shown that the outage probability of the NOMA with SIC is lower than that of OMA when the rate is sufficiently low where SIC can be facilitated.     

An efficient architecture for accumulator-based test generation of SIC pairs

Research conducted over the years has shown that the application of single input change (SIC) pairs of test patterns for sequential, i.e. stuck-open and delay fault testing is extremely efficient. In this paper, a novel architecture for the generation of SIC pairs is presented. The implementation of the proposed architecture is based on Ling adders that are commonly utilized in current data paths due to their high-operating speed. Since the timing characteristics of the adder are not modified, the presented architecture provides a practical solution for the built-in testing of circuits that contain such adders.     

On the integration of SIC and MIMO DoF for interference cancellation in wireless networks

Recent advances in MIMO degree-of-freedom (DoF) models allowed MIMO research to penetrate the networking community. Independent from MIMO, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is a powerful physical layer technique used in multi-user detection. Based on the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of MIMO DoF and SIC, we propose to have DoF-based interference cancellation (IC) and SIC help each other so that (i) precious DoF resources can be conserved through the use of SIC and (ii) the stringent SINR threshold criteria can be met through the use of DoF-based IC. In this paper, we develop the necessary mathematical models to realize the two ideas in a multi-hop wireless network. Together with scheduling and routing constraints, we develop a cross-layer optimization framework with joint DoF IC and SIC. By applying the framework on a throughput maximization problem, we find that SIC and DoF IC can indeed work in harmony and achieve the two ideas that we propose.

Analysis of heterogeneous satellite networks with multi‐user detectors

In this work, a heterogeneous network, where both terrestrial‐ and multiple spot beam‐based geosynchronous satellite networks use the same sub‐channel, is investigated. Moreover, the satellite uses same sub‐channel to serve users across all spot beams. Apart from inter spot beam interference, satellite users also receive strong interfering signal from the terrestrial base station. The satellite receivers manage the inter system interference (ie, interference from terrestrial network) while the inter spot beam interference is mitigated through precoding at the gateway. To be specific, the following interference‐aware detectors are used to mitigate the inter system interference: successive interference canceller (SIC) and joint decoder (JD). The proposed decoders are shown to achieve better data rate and bit error rate (BER) than the interference ignorant decoder at moderate to strong interference levels. Although JD and SIC achieve same sum rate at moderate and strong interference levels, JD is shown to allow the terrestrial user achieve higher data rate than SIC.

Interference Cancellation in CDMA Systems Employing Complementary Codes Under Rician Fading Channels

The ideal correlation properties of single user code division multiple access (CDMA) systems with complementary codes (CC) are lost by multiple access interference and near–far effects in downlink frequency selective fading channels. This severity in interference has motivated to develop ways to overcome the threats with suitable suboptimal interference cancellation schemes. In this paper, we propose successive interference cancellation (SIC) for downlink CDMA systems with CC to improve the system capacity and reduce error rate under near–far situations. Theoretical study and extensive simulations were conducted to verify the effectiveness of proposed SIC under frequency selective Rician fading channels in achieving frequency diversity gain, close to theoretical lower bound in complementary coded CDMA (CC-CDMA) systems.

The bit error rate (BER) expression for a proposed pipelined successive interference cancellation (PSIC) scheme in a direct sequence/code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system is derived analytically. The proposed PSIC scheme is a pipelined modification of a successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme. The numerical results show that the proposed PSIC scheme outperforms the SIC scheme in viewpoints of the BER and the decoding delay performances
