Orthogonal on-off BPSK: a convenient signaling scheme for near-farresistant detection in DS/CDMA

This paper proposes a convenient signaling scheme-orthogonal on-off BPSK (O³BPSK)-for near-far (NF) resistant detection in asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems (uplink). The temporally adjacent bits from different users in the received signals are decoupled by using the on-off signaling, and the original data rate is maintained with no increase in transmission rate by adopting an orthogonal structure. The detector at the receiver is a one-shot linear decorrelating detector, which depends upon neither hard decision nor specific channel coding. The application of O³ strategy to the differentially encoded BPSK (D-BPSK) sequences is also presented. Finally, some computer simulations are shown to confirm the theoretical analysis     

Performance analysis and improvement of decorrelating detection for multirate DS/CDMA

We study access strategies for decorrelating detection applied in multirate direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems, including multimodulation (MM), multicode (MC), and variable-spreading-length (VSL) schemes by jointly considering signal constellations and multiple-access interference. The mathematical analysis shows that when the number of active users is large, the MM scheme outperforms MC and VSL schemes especially for high-rate transmission. We also conclude that the design of modulation is important in MC and VSL schemes. Numerical analysis demonstrates that applying 4-PSK instead of 2-PSK in MC and VSL schemes can improve about 9 dB performance gain. In addition, by considering cross-correlation of noise components, we propose a detector that minimizes the symbol error probability under the constraint that the complexity grows linearly with the number of active users as decorrelating detectors. Simulations show that about 4 dB performance gain over conventional decorrelating detectors can be achieved for multirate DS/CDMA communications.     

Interference suppression for DS/CDMA

A direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) receiver for suppressing multiple-access interference in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) communication systems is introduced. The proposed receiver does not require knowledge of other users' spreading codes, timing, or phase information. Moreover, the receiver allows the number of taps to be chosen independently of the processing gain and, hence, is easily applicable to CDMA systems employing either a small or a large processing gain. Performance analysis, including average probability of error and signal-to-noise ratio, is provided, and results are presented for systems varying from lightly loaded (for example, eight user/255 chip) to heavily loaded (for example, 50 user/200 chip). Performance results indicate that the proposed receiver outperforms the linear correlation receiver and, in many cases, it does so by a considerable margin

Two-stage nondata-aided adaptive linear receivers for DS/CDMA

Closed-form steady-state performance analysis of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the output of well-known adaptive implementations of the linear minimum mean-square error (MSE) receiver for direct-sequence code-division multiple access show that nondata-aided (NDA) schemes may suffer from a considerable performance degradation with respect to their data-aided counterparts. Motivated by this fact, we propose a new two-stage NDA scheme where symbol-by-symbol predecisions at the output of a first adaptive stage are used to train a second stage. We derive closed-form steady-state performance analysis for both the two-stage and classical decision-directed schemes, taking into account detection errors in decision-directed adaptation. Our analysis shows that the SINR of the two-stage algorithm is close to optimal over a large range of values, while the SINR of the decision-directed scheme is far from optimal when the optimal SINR is small. Finally, we consider the case of time-varying fading channels. We derive modified recursive least square and least mean square adaptation schemes by considering SINR maximization rather than MSE minimization (that is useless under the assumption of zero-mean random channels). The resulting two-stage receiver shows good tracking properties in heavy near-far conditions (at least for moderate normalized Doppler bandwidth), while the decision-directed receiver may easily loose tracking after deep fades.     

Concatenated coding for DS/CDMA transmission in wirelesscommunications

We investigate the use of forward-error correction (FEC) as well as concatenated coding for reliable data transmission in asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access communications over frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. The FEC scheme combines antenna diversity with low complexity concatenated codes which consist of a Reed-Solomon outer code and a convolutional inner code. Under this concatenated coding scheme, we analyze the average bit-error rate performance and capacity tradeoffs between various system parameters under a fixed total bandwidth expansion and concatenated codes constraint requirements     

An effective multiuser receiver for DS/CDMA systems

Multiuser detection (MUD) is a key technique for combating multiple access interference (MAI) in CDMA systems. We propose a simple and effective multiuser receiver, which we refer to as the objective function based multiuser detector (OFMUD). This is a successive multistage joint detector based on the statistical optimization of an objective function. Two objective functions are considered in this paper. The first one is based on a maximum likelihood solution, and the second one is based on the least squared error solution. A key feature of the proposed detector is that among all the K user bits, we update the estimate of one and only one bit (the one that is most likely to be wrong) in every stage. Analytical and numerical results show that significant performance improvement can be achieved compared with the conventional DS/CDMA receiver. At the same time, the near-far problem is alleviated. In addition, it is shown that the proposed receiver can outperform the popular multiuser parallel interference cancellation receiver in most cases with a smaller computational cost

A two-stage decorrelating detector for DS/CDMA systems

This paper presents an improved two-stage decorrelating detection scheme for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. Decorrelator outputs corresponding to each user are tested to determine whether or not a final decision can be made with high reliability. For users with high reliability, a hard decision is made at this stage. For the remaining users, a conditional quantization algorithm is employed before a decision is made. Results indicate that significant performance enhancement can be achieved at the expense of a modest increase in computational complexity. The algorithm is also applied to synchronous as well as asynchronous multipath channels with excellent results. We also extend the two-stage decorrelating detection scheme to time-variant communication scenarios and present an adaptive version of the two-stage decorrelator     

Power control considerations for DS/CDMA personal communicationsystems

A model of the personal communication system (PCS) employing code division multiple access (CDMA) is presented and analyzed. In the analysis, the effect of multipath transmissions that are usually present in the portable environments is included. This effect causes severe fading degradation in the received signal power. The model introduces the factors that mostly affect the reception of different signals at the base station, and their effect on the received power is discussed. The performance of the system is measured by the probability of error and the increase in the amount of power (the power cost) necessary to overcome multipath fading effects. Upper bounds on the probability of error are obtained to show the limits on the performance

Blind Channel Estimation for Multi-Rate Multicarrier DS/CDMA Communications

Multi-rate multicarrier DS/CDMA is a potentially attractive multiple access method for future wireless communications networks that must support multimedia, and thus multi-rate, traffic. Several receiver structures exist for single-rate multicarrier systems, but little has been reported on multi-rate multicarrier systems. Considering that high-performance detection such as coherent demodulation needs the explicit knowledge of the channel, based on the finite-length chip waveform truncation, this paper proposes a subspace-based scheme for timing and channel estimation in multi-rate multicarrier DS/CDMA systems, which is applicable to both multicode and variable spreading factor systems. The performance of the proposed scheme for these two multi-rate systems is validated via numerical simulations. The effects of the finite-length chip waveform truncation on the performance of the proposed scheme is also analyzed theoretically.

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.     

Modified constant modulus algorithm for blind DS/CDMA detection
