Blind Linear MMSE Receivers for MC-CDMA Systems

This paper studies blind constrained minimum output energy (CMOE)-based and subspace-based linear minimum mean-squared-error (LMMSE) detectors for multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. By imposing quadratic weight constraint, the CMOE detector is made more robust against signature waveform mismatch, and a better performance over the standard CMOE detector is obtained. Because of separation of signal and noise subspaces, the more complicated subspace-based LMMSE detector has better performance than the CMOE detector. The recursive subspace tracking algorithms are also investigated for the subspace-based MMSE receiver. Numerical results show that the steady-state performance of the robust CMOE detector is close to the subspace-based MMSE method. The blind mode decision-directed LMMSE detection is studied where the blind detectors are used for initial adaptation. Numerical simulations illustrate that the blind mode decision-directed MMSE detection substantially improves the system performance when the frequency-selective channel is slowly-varying

Asymptotic analysis of blind multiuser detection with blind channel estimation

The analytical performance of the subspace-based blind linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) multiuser detection algorithm in general multipath multi-antenna code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems is investigated. In blind multiuser detection, the linear MMSE detector of a given user is estimated from the received signals, based on the knowledge of only the spreading sequence of that user. Typically, the channel of that user must be estimated first, based on the orthogonality between the signal and noise subspaces. An asymptotic limit theorem for the estimate of the blind linear detector (when the received signal sample size is large) is obtained, based on which approximate expressions of the average output signal-to-inference plus noise ratios (SINRs) and bit error rates (BERs) for both binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) and quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulations are given. Corresponding results for group-blind multiuser detectors are also obtained. Examples are provided to demonstrate the excellent match between the theory developed in this paper and the simulation results.     

Blind adaptive multiuser detection in multipath CDMA channels basedon subspace tracking

A blind adaptive technique for signal demodulation in multipath code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication channels is proposed. This technique is based on signal subspace estimation. The receiver employs a bank of linear filters (decorrelating filters or linear MMSE filters) at the front end to mitigate the multiple-access interference and the multipath interference. A channel estimator is used to estimate the channel state for diversity combining. It is shown that through the use of signal subspace estimation, both the decorrelating filterbank and the linear MMSE filterbank can be obtained blindly, i.e., they can be estimated from the received signal with the prior knowledge of only the signature waveform of the desired user. Two forms of the subspace-based linear filterbanks are developed and their equivalence in terms of the interference suppression capability is established. These subspace-based blind adaptive interference suppression techniques require, at each symbol epoch, the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of an appropriate signal subspace, which ran be obtained using computationally efficient sequential adaptive eigendecomposition (subspace tracking) algorithms. Moreover, a blind adaptive method for estimating the channel state is developed, which also produces the postcombining decision statistic as a byproduct     

Blind multiuser detection for code-hopping DS-CDMA signals in asynchronous multipath channels

Blind detection of a desired user's signal in a code-hopping (CH) direct sequence code-division multiple access (CDMA) system is considered. In CH CDMA systems each user switches between a predetermined set of short-code sequences. A user signal in such systems may be treated as the superposition of several virtual short-code signals. A code-constrained inverse filter criterion (IFC)-based blind detector for short-code CDMA signals in asynchronous multipath channels to detect a desired user's signal was recently presented by Tugnait and Li (2001). A novel approach combining the code-constrained IFC and a penalty function is proposed to simultaneously extract all virtual users associated with a given CH user. Global minima of the proposed cost function are analyzed. An extension of an existing subspace-based approach is also investigated. An illustrative simulation example is provided where the proposed algorithm is compared with a clairvoyant matched filter receiver, two linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receivers with channels known, and the subspace-based approach.     

Blind multiuser detection: a subspace approach

A new multiuser detection scheme based on signal subspace estimation is proposed. It is shown that under this scheme, both the decorrelating detector and the linear minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) detector can be obtained blindly, i.e., they can be estimated from the received signal with the prior knowledge of only the signature waveform and timing of the user of interest. The consistency and asymptotic variance of the estimates of the two linear detectors are examined. A blind adaptive implementation based on a signal subspace tracking algorithm is also developed. It is seen that compared with the previous minimum-output-energy blind adaptive multiuser detector, the proposed subspace-based blind adaptive detector offers lower computational complexity, better performance, and robustness against signature waveform mismatch. Two extensions are made within the framework of signal subspace estimation. First, a blind adaptive method is developed for estimating the effective user signature waveform in the multipath channel. Secondly, a multiuser detection scheme using spatial diversity in the form of an antenna array is considered. A blind adaptive technique for estimating the array response for diversity combining is proposed. It is seen that under the proposed subspace approach, blind adaptive channel estimation and blind adaptive array response estimation can be integrated with blind adaptive multiuser detection, with little attendant increase in complexity     

Blind multiuser detector based on orthogonal projection [for CDMA]

A new stable blind multiuser detector based on signal subspace orthogonal projection is presented. By carrying out a pseudoeigendecomposition (PED) analysis, a technique proposed for the first time, the signal of the interested user can be approximated by the orthogonal projection of a received multiuser signal onto the related subspace of the interested user. Simulations show that compared with the previous subspace-based MMSE blind multiuser detector, the new detector offers better performance without leading to an increase in the computational complexity

Blind channel identification and equalization using periodicmodulation precoders: performance analysis

The paper deals with blind identification and equalization of communication channels within the so-called modulation induced cyclostationarity (MIC) framework, where the input symbol stream is modulated by a P periodic precoder with the purpose of inducing cyclostationarity in the transmit sequence. By exploiting the cyclostationarity induced by the periodic precoder, a subspace-based channel identification algorithm that is resilient to the location of channel zeros, channel order overestimation errors, and color of additive stationary noise, is developed. The asymptotic performance of the subspace-based identification approach is analyzed and compared with the asymptotic lower bound provided by the nonlinear cyclic correlation matching approach. Criteria for optimally designing the periodic precoder are also presented. The performance of MMSE-FIR and MMSE-DFE equalizers is quantified for the proposed cyclostationarity-induced framework in terms of the MMSE. Although cyclostationarity-inducing transmitters present several advantages relative to their stationary counterparts from a channel estimation viewpoint, it is shown that from an equalization viewpoint, MIC-based systems exhibit a slightly increased MMSE/BER when compared with the stationary case     

Blind Multiuser Detection in Frequency Domain for MC-CDMA Systems Using Particle Swarm Optimization

In digital communication systems, the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) for blind multiuser detector has some disadvantage such as slow convergence speed and weight phase rotation. In this paper, we put forward a novel receiver, which combines CMA blind adaptive multiuser detection and particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique in frequency domain for multi-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access (MC DS-CDMA) systems. By this approach we present an adaptive multistage structure based on PSO technique. In this structure, the weights are obtained by PSO technique between the received signal and its estimate through a CMA. The resulting weights contain reliability information for the hard decisions made in the previous stage. The simulation results show that BER performance of the PSO-based CMA blind multiuser detector is superior to that of steepest decreasing constant modulus algorithm (SDCMA), linearly constrained constant modulus algorithm (LCCMA), CMA based multiuser detection and is worthy due to its significant detection performance to achieve desirable improvement in convergence speed and tractability.

A Decorrelating-MRC Based Space–Time Multiuser Receiver for Time-Hopping UWB System

In this paper, we propose a two-stage linear multiuser detector (LMD) for ultra wideband (UWB) multiple single-input multi-output (M-SIMO) system and multipath fading environment. Time-hopping (TH) and antipodal pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) are employed for the multiple access system. The decorrelating detector is first employed at the front end of each receive antenna to eliminate the multi-user interference (MUI), then a set of maximum-ratio-combiners (MRC) are proceeded to maximize the signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR) for each user. Since the channel information is crucial for the Decorrelating-MRC (D-MRC) receiver, we develop a subspace-based blind M-SIMO channel estimation method. The effect of channel estimation error on system performance is extensively evaluated. It is also verified from the analytical and numerical results that by exploiting both spatial and temporal diversities, the D-MRC receiver dramatically improves system performance even without additional coding. Moreover, we demonstrate that both the D-MRC receiver and subspace-based blind channel estimator are computationally feasible and near-far resistant.

Space-time blind multiuser detection for multirate DS/CDMA signals

Multiuser detection for multirate direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS/CDMA) has been an active area of research. For example, nonblind low-rate (LR) and high-rate (HR) decorrelators have been proposed and analyzed in the literature for synchronous dual-rate systems with single receive antenna. Inspired by the subspace-based space-time (ST) blind linear detectors for synchronous single-rate systems, this paper extends the existing results and proposes the subspace-based ST-LR and ST-HR blind linear detectors, i.e., blind decorrelators and blind minimum mean-squared error (mmse) detectors, for synchronous dual-rate DS/CDMA. It is shown that: 1) ST-LR blind linear detectors can support no less users than ST-HR blind linear detectors as long as the desired spatial signature is identifiable (assuming that all the other system parameters are the same) and 2) the bit-error rate performance of ST-LR blind decorrelator is not inferior to that of its HR counterpart. The above conclusions are generalized to synchronous multirate systems. The extension to asynchronous systems is also described. Finally, the two-stage ST dual-rate blind detectors, which combine the adaptive purely temporal dual-rate blind mmse detectors with the nonadaptive beamformer, are presented.

Blind equalization and multiuser detection in dispersive CDMAchannels

The problem of blind demodulation of multiuser information symbols in a high-rate code-division multiple-access (CDMA) network in the presence of both multiple-access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) is considered. The dispersive CDMA channel is first cast into a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal model framework. By applying the theory of blind MIMO channel identification and equalization, it is then shown that under certain conditions the multiuser information symbols can be recovered without any prior knowledge of the channel or the users' signature waveforms (including the desired user's signature waveform), although the algorithmic complexity of such an approach is prohibitively high. However, in practice, the signature waveform of the user of interest is always available at the receiver. It is shown that by incorporating this knowledge, the impulse response of each user's dispersive channel can be identified using a subspace method. It is further shown that based on the identified signal subspace parameters and the channel response, two linear detectors that are capable of suppressing both MAI and ISI, i.e., a zero-forcing detector and a minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) detector, can be constructed in closed form, at almost no extra computational cost. Data detection can then be furnished by applying these linear detectors (obtained blindly) to the received signal. The major contribution of this paper is the development of these subspace-based blind techniques for joint suppression of MAI and ISI in the dispersive CDMA channels     

Iterative cyclic subspace tracking for blind adaptive multiuser detection in multirate CDMA systems

In this paper, the problem of subspace-based blind adaptive multiuser detection in multirate direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems adopting short (periodic) spreading codes is considered. The solution that we propose is based on the well-known formulation of the linear minimum mean-squared error and decorrelating detectors in terms of signal subspace parameters. Since in a multirate scenario the correlation properties of the observable and, hence, the signal subspace parameters are periodically time-varying, classical subspace tracking algorithms, which assume that the subspace to be tracked is time-invariant or slowly time-varying, are shown to be not useful in this situation. A new recursive cyclic subspace tracking algorithm is thus developed. This procedure, which is based on a generalization of the PASTd algorithm, is able to capture the periodical variations of the signal subspace, and thus enables subspace-based blind adaptive multiuser detection in multirate CDMA systems. The proposed algorithm has a smaller computational complexity than the recently developed cyclic recursive-least-squares procedure, and, as numerical results confirm, is capable of providing very satisfactory performance.
