Spatial diversity is an attractive technology for coping with the fadingchannels encountered in mobile communications.In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) is analyzed theoretically fordiversity reception with a RAKE receiver in aNakagami fading environment using either selection or maximal ratio combining.A coherent binary phase-shiftkeying (CBPSK) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systemis considered. An arbitrary branchcorrelation is also considered for any diversity order in the case ofidentical fading severity on the branches.     

Multi-User MIMO Mobile CDMA Uplink System Employing Turbo Coding and Joint Detection Through a Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channel

In this paper, a generalized multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system that can be fitted to the uplink of a wireless communication system is considered for the general case of multi-user. At the transmitter, the information bits are Turbo coded, then interleaved and passed through a serial-to-parallel converter. The channel is assumed bad urban suffering from multipath Rayleigh fading resulting in inter-symbol and multiple access interferences (ISI and MAI). At the front-end of the receiver, a number of receiving antennas are used followed by a joint multi-user estimator based on the Minimum Mean Square Error Block Linear Equalizer (MMSE-BLE).Computer simulations demonstrate a significant performance improvement in both single user and multi-user cases.This paper depends in parts on that presented at the 11th European Wireless Conference, Cyprus, Nicosia, pp. 187–192, April 2005.

初始判决指导下的DS/CDMA最大似然检测算法

本文首先给出了多径异步多用户ＤＳ／ＣＤＭＡ系统的一种数学模型，得出了恒参信道下最大似然检测（ＭＬＳＥ）算法的一种新的表示形式。然后作者具体分析了以ＲＡＫＥ接收机作为衰落信道的匹配滤波器时，最大似然检测器的算法设计问题。分析指出，在多径环境下ＭＬＳＥ算法的复杂度和计算量与多径时延的分布有关，如果用户时延扩散在一个信息码元之内，算法复杂度和恒参信道下相同，而其实现可以用状态数可变的Ｖｉｔｅｒｂｉ算法来实现。最后，本文用传统判决方法得出的初始判决信息缩减Ｖｉｔｅｒｂｉ算法的搜索空间，在保证一定性能的前提下，算法的计算复杂度大大降低。

Feasibility of Spectrum Sharing Between Fixed and Mobile Radio Systems

General techniques are presented to investigate the feasibility of spectrum sharing between a DS-CDMA mobile radio system and a fixed point-to-point microwave link. The limitations of a spectrum sharing arrangement are identified for specific system parameters. Initial results indicate that, for the systems considered, spectrum sharing will be difficult to implement in many environments and that the spectrum sharing arrangement is limited by the mobile radio system performance, in particular the reverse mobile link. However it is shown that the coordination requirements of the two systems converge when the mobile transmission power is increased. When excision suppression is used to remove fixed service interference at a mobile receiver, it may have an adverse effect on the mobile system performance due to a degradation in the correlation characteristics of the received signal. The degradation in the received signal depends on the width and centre frequency of the excised interference relative to the mobile signal.     

On Multicarrier Detection and Coherent CDMA Mobile Receiver Radio Systems with Joint Antenna Diversity

The combination of code division multiple access(CDMA) and multicarrier (MC) transmission techniques,termed MC-CDMA, is considered a promising alternative toconventional DS (direct sequence)-CDMA. For this reason, recent research activities haveconcentrated on the application of MC-CDMA to mobileradio systems. In this paper an MC-CDMA concept which iswell suited for mobile radio applications is described. The described MC-CDMA concept overcomesdisadvantages of previously proposed concepts. InMC-CDMA mobile radio systems, signal reception isimpaired by time-varying multipath propagation. Theimpairments can be reduced by applying diversitytechniques. Coherent receiver antenna diversity (CRAD)is especially attractive because only the signalprocessing at the receivers must be modified. In thiscommunication, the application of CRAD in combination withjoint detection (JD) techniques to the more criticaluplink of MC-CDMA mobile radio systems is investigated.It is explained that the deployment of JD techniques for CRAD is an effective countermeasure againstthe influence of the mobile radio channel on the systemperformance. Four JD techniques for CRAD which areapplicable to MC-CDMA are presented. Their performances are studied in bad urban, typical urban, andtypical macrocellular environments. It is shown thatMC-CDMA allows a favorable performance compared to otherCDMA concepts.

A Multicarrier CDMA System for Joint Time-Frequency Diversity Using Divided Spreading Sequence

One of the principal disadvantages of multicarrier modulation technique is the sensitivity to the frequency offset introduced by Doppler shift. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference (ICI) among the multiplicity of carriers in the multicarrier modulated signal. However, Doppler spread induced by temporal channel variations can provides another means for diversity. In this paper, we propose a modified multicarrier code division multiple access (CDMA) system to exploit Doppler diversity as well as multipath diversity. The key work of our framework is a canonical time-frequency-based decomposition of the mobile wireless channel into series of independent fading channel. The decomposition naturally leads to a time-frequency generalization of the Rake receiver that exploits both multipath and Doppler diversity.     

Co-Channel Interference in Cellular Mobile Radio Systems with Coded PSK and Diversity

In this paper, the performance of coding and diversity in narrowband wireless cellular systems affected by fading, shadowing and co-channel interference is analyzed. We consider low-order diversity, that can be practically realized for both coherent and differential phase shift keying. We assume that the shadowing random processes affecting all transmitted signals do not vary appreciably over the transmission duration. Fading, on the contrary, is assumed to vary more rapidly. Our main focus here is on outage probability. After choosing a performance indicator, its expectation is taken with respect to fading and co-channel interference, conditionally on shadowing. Hence, the resulting average performance indicator is a random variable. The probability that this random variable exceeds a specified threshold defines the outage probability. We consider as performance indicators (i) the channel cut-off rate R₀ and (ii) the bit error rate P_b of an actual coded scheme. As we are interested in interference-limited, rather than power-limited systems, we evaluate both R₀ and P_b for very high signal-to-noise ratios. Results are parameterized by the frequency reuse factor and the diversity order.     

A MC-CDMA Mobile Communication System Employing Pre-Rake and Transmit Diversity

In this paper, a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) downlink mobile communication system employing pre-rake and dual transmit diversity is proposed. It combines high spectral efficiency with an immunity to channel dispersion and fading. It also ensures small size, cost and power consumption of the terminal. Theoretical and simulation results for the system under consideration are obtained. Depicted results show appreciable improvements of the proposed system over those previously known.Emad K.

Composite Macroscopic and Microscopic Diversity of Sectorized Macrocellular and Microcellular Mobile Radio Systems Employing RAKE Receiver over Nakagami Fading Plus Lognormal Shadowing Channel

This paper presents a generalized model of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) macrocellular and microcellular sectorized mobile radio systems over Nakagami fading plus lognormal shadowing channels. RAKE receiver, perfect and imperfect sectorization, voice activity monitoring, microscopic and composite microscopic plus macroscopic diversity are considered. The interrelationships among the number of interfering cells, sectorization degree, sectorization imperfection, voice activity factor, fading parameter, microscopic diversity degree, microscopic plus macroscopic diversity degree and the number of users are considered. Numerical results show that voice activity monitoring and sectorization can reduce multiple access interference (MAI). Furthermore, composite microscopic plus macroscopic diversity system can counteract the fast and slow fading components simultaneously.     

Efficient Radio Resource Management in Integrated WLAN/CDMA Mobile Networks

The complementary characteristics of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular networks make it attractive to integrate these two technologies. How to utilize the overall radio resources optimally in this heterogeneous integrated environment is a challenging issue. This paper proposes an optimal joint session admission control scheme for multimedia traffic that maximizes overall network revenue with quality of service (QoS) constraints over both WLANs and CDMA cellular networks. WLANs operate under IEEE 802.11e medium access control (MAC) protocol, which supports QoS for multimedia traffic. A cross-layer optimization approach is used in CDMA networks taking into account both physical layer linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) receivers and network layer QoS requirements. Numerical examples illustrate that the network revenue earned in the proposed joint admission control scheme is significantly more than that when the individual networks are optimized independently.     

Performance of antenna diversity multiuser receivers in CDMA channels with imperfect fading estimation

The performance of antenna diversity coherent and differentially coherent linear multiuser receivers is analyzed in frequency-nonselective Rayleigh fading CDMA channels with memory. The estimates of the complex fading processes are utilized for maximal-ratio combining and carrier recovery of the coherent multiuser receiver. To analyze the impact of channel estimation errors on the receiver performance, error probability is assessed directly in terms of the fading rate and the number of active users, showing the penalty imposed by imperfect channel estimation as well as the fading-induced error probability floor. The impact of fading dynamics on the differentially coherent decorrelating receiver with equal-gain combining is quantified. While performance of multiuser receivers at lower SNR is determined by both the fading dynamics and the number of active CDMA users, performance at higher SNR is given by an error probability floor which is due to fading only and has the same value as in a single-user case. The comparison of the two receiver structures indicates that the coherent decorrelating receiver with diversity reception may be preferable to the differentially coherent one in nonselective fading CDMA channels with memory.

Statistics of the Carrier-to-Interference Ratio in C/TDMA Cellular Mobile Radio Systems Applying Multi-User Detection

In cellular mobile radio systems, interference is a limiting factor with respect to both system performance and system capacity. Therefore, profound knowledge of the statistics of the carrier-to-interference ratio C/I, given by the received carrier power C and the sum I of received powers associated with various interferers, is essential. In this communication, a general approach allowing the calculation of C/I for both the up- and the downlink of any interference limited mobile radio system is presented. Power control algorithms are explicitly considered. The general approach is used to provide insight into the statistics of C/I of C/TDMA systems applying multi-user detection, which are promising candidates for third generation mobile radio systems. For these C/TDMA systems applying multi-user detection, a representative selection of results is collected from the general approach and presented in this communication. Furthermore, results concerning the composition of the intercell interference are given. These results are of particular interest when plumbing potential benefits of worthwhile future enhanced multi-user detection schemes which explicitly incorporate a given number of intercell interferers.     

多用户检测CDMA系统的阻塞度量和控制

本文讨论了ＣＤＭＡ系统在多用户检测和单用户检测两种情况下系统的阻塞度量和控制问题,并给出了相应的用户功率平衡方程和小区干扰平衡方程。本文证明两种平衡方程有相同的阻塞因子,但干扰平衡方程和维数与系统内小区数相等,并远小于用户功率平衡方程的维数即系统用户数,因而降低了计算复杂度。理论和模拟结果表明多用户检测系统中平衡方程有更小的阻塞因子,因而相对应的迭代算法能很快收敛,并且系统的阻塞率得到降低。     

Vector Channel Estimation and Multiuser Detection for Multicarrier DS CDMA in Time and Frequency Selective Fading Channels

In a multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access (MC DS CDMA) system, different fading channels for different users and/or different carriers are correlated in general; thus a vector channel model is more appropriate than disjoint scalar channel models. For multiuser MC DS CDMA systems, we propose (1) a generalized vector autoregressive model which accounts for correlation between different user/carrier fading channels, (2) the use of a two-phased algorithm to obtain the proposed model’s parameters, and (3) a receiver structure that consists of a generalized decorrelator followed by maximal-ratio combining (MRC) of uncorrelated carrier channel outputs of each user. The estimated fading coefficients provide the necessary quantities to MRC. The computer simulation results show that the proposed scheme has performance close to the case in which the channel is perfectly known, and outperforms separate scalar channel estimation case.

Smart Antennas with Two-Dimensional Array Configurations for Performance Enhancement of a Joint Detection CDMA Mobile Radio System

Smart antennas for base stations of cellular mobile radio systems offer the potential of system performance enhancement by taking advantage of the directionally inhomogeneous signal reception at the receiver. In this paper, two-dimensional array configurations employed at the uplink receiver of a joint detection CDMA (JD-CDMA) mobile radio system are investigated. This smart antenna concept can be split up into a novel channel estimator and data detector which incorporate explicitely the information of the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of signals emerging from users assigned to the considered base station. Proceeding from channel models that model the directional inhomogeneity of the mobile radio channel with single DOAs, the link level performance of a JD-CDMA mobile radio system using this smart antenna concept is evaluated for the rural propagation environment. The performance evaluation is based on Monte Carlo simulations of data transmission and average bit error rates versus the average signal to noise ratio per net information bit are presented for different array configurations. Although these results should be considered as upper bounds for the link level performance, they reveal the advantages of implementing two-dimensional array configurations at the uplink receiver of a JD-CDMA mobile radio system.
