Multistage MMSE PIC Space–Time Receiver With Non-Mutually Exclusive Grouping

The arrival of new data services for wireless mobile communications requires an efficient use of the available bandwidth. Interference-limited cellular systems based on code-division multiple access (CDMA) can benefit from multiuser detection (MUD) and beamforming with antenna array to reduce multiple-access interference. Group-based techniques have been proposed to reduce the complexity of space-time MUD and have been shown to provide a performance-complexity tradeoff between matched filtering and full MUD. In this paper, the intergroup interference, which is a limiting factor in group-based systems, is reduced using multistage parallel interference cancellation after group-based minimum mean square error (MMSE) linear filtering. In addition, the extra resources that are available at the receiver are exploited by sharing users among groups. The proposed receiver is shown to converge, as the number of stages increases, to the full space-time MMSE linear MUD filter. The results show that the new approach provides bit error rate (BER) performance close to the full MUD receiver at a fraction of the complexity.

Space-time profiles of an ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beam

By using a different initial value from the previous treatments, we reveal that the pulsed Gaussian beam in free space can be expressed as a simple wave packet along with the complex time, which gives all the information about the spatial and temporal behaviors of the pulse. Then the space-time profiles of a space-time Gaussian pulse are studied. It is shown that even when the pulse propagates in free space, there exist couplings among the beam parameters in space and time. The spot-size-related couplings enlarge the temporal domain (TD) spatial size of the pulse and lessen the carrier frequency of the pulse of the paraxial points, and the wavefront-related couplings bend the transverse spatial shape of the pulse with the wavefront     

Space-time profiles of shaped ultrafast optical waveforms

A derivation of the space-time profiles of ultrafast optical waveforms shaped by filtering of spatially separated frequency components is presented. Closed form expressions for the space-time impulse response functions are given for the cases of single and double passes through a pulse shaping apparatus. For a single pass and a short unshaped pulse, diffraction by the mask filter gives rise to a translational spatial shift in the desired electric field profile that varies linearly with time along the shaped waveform. This result is completely general, and applies to frequency-domain pulse shaping with either continuous or discrete mask filters. It is also shown that double passing the apparatus does not generally reverse this effect but rather introduces further space-time coupling such as a time-varying spotsize. Examples of specific mask patterns are presented and implications for the generation of high-fidelity shaped optical waveforms are discussed     

Alternating Multiuser Detection with Soft Interference Cancellation for Heterogeneous-Signaling MIMO CDMA Systems

This paper presents an effective alternating multiuser detector for the uplink of heterogeneous-signaling multiple-input multiple-output code division multiple access systems over multipath fading channels, where the data are transmitted using either spatially multiplexing for high transmission rate or space-time block code for transmit diversity gains. The new MUD first separates users into two groups according to their transmission signaling schemes and then detects the transmitted symbols in each group alternately with the removal of iteratively refined soft information-assisted multiple access interference to enhance the interference cancellation capability. Moreover, for practical low-complexity implementations, the users in each group are further partitioned into smaller subgroups based on their effective channel correlations and then detected in parallel by a bank of minimum mean-squared error soft detectors to further reduce the computational load. Conducted simulations show that the proposed MUD can render superior performance compared with previous approaches, especially in highly loaded scenarios.     

Estimation of motor unit conduction velocity from surface EMG recordings by signal-based selection of the spatial filters

Muscle fiber conduction velocity (CV) can be estimated by the application of a pair of spatial filters to surface electromagnetic (EMG) signals and compensation of the spatial filter transfer function with equivalent temporal filters. This method integrates the selection of the spatial filters for signal detection to the estimation of CV. Using this approach, in this paper, we propose a novel technique for signal-based selection of the spatial filter pair that minimizes the effect of nonpropagating signal components (end-of-fiber effects) on CV estimates (optimal filters). The technique is applicable to signals with one propagating and one nonpropagating component, such as single motor unit action potentials. It is shown that the determination of the optimal filters also allows the identification of the propagating and nonpropagating signal components. The new method was applied to simulated and experimental EMG signals. Simulated signals were generated by a cylindrical, layered volume conductor model. Experimental signals were recorded from the abductor pollicis brevis with a linear array of 16 electrodes. In the simulations, the proposed approach provided CV estimates with lower bias due to nonpropagating signal components than previously proposed methods based on the entire signal waveform. In the experimental signals, the technique separated propagating and nonpropagating signal components with an average reconstruction error of 2.9 +/- 0.9% of the signal energy. The technique may find application in single motor unit studies for decreasing the variability and bias of CV estimates due to the presence and different weights of the nonpropagating components.

A multidimensional nonlinear edge-preserving filter for magneticresonance image restoration

The paper presents a multidimensional nonlinear edge-preserving filter for restoration and enhancement of magnetic resonance images (MRI). The filter uses both interframe (parametric or temporal) and intraframe (spatial) information to filter the additive noise from an MRI scene sequence. It combines the approximate maximum likelihood (equivalently, least squares) estimate of the interframe pixels, using MRI signal models, with a trimmed spatial smoothing algorithm, using a Euclidean distance discriminator to preserve partial volume and edge information. (Partial volume information is generated from voxels containing a mixture of different tissues.) Since the filter's structure is parallel, its implementation on a parallel processing computer is straightforward. Details of the filter implementation for a sequence of four multiple spin-echo images is explained, and the effects of filter parameters (neighborhood size and threshold value) on the computation time and performance of the filter is discussed. The filter is applied to MRI simulation and brain studies, serving as a preprocessing procedure for the eigenimage filter. (The eigenimage filter generates a composite image in which a feature of interest is segmented from the surrounding interfering features.) It outperforms conventional pre and post-processing filters, including spatial smoothing, low-pass filtering with a Gaussian kernel, median filtering, and combined vector median with average filtering.     

Space-time turbo multiuser detection for coded MC-CDMA

The system capacity and performance of multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) communication systems can be significantly enhanced by jointly employing MAP-based multiuser detection (MUD) and channel decoding techniques. In this paper, a group-oriented soft iterative MUD based on the combination of smart antennas and iterative MAP-based MUD is presented. The proposed method is featured as a novel technique for further increasing the system capacity and performance. In this method, all the users are first grouped into several groups according to their impinging direction of arrivals (DOAs). All users with similar DOAs are classified into the same group and then low-complexity MAP-based iterative MUD is employed in each group. Because spatial filtering cannot suppress all the interference between the groups, interference cancellation among the groups is used prior to MUD within each group. It is shown that the proposed group-oriented soft iterative MUD algorithm can significantly reduce the computational complexity compared with the conventional optimal MAP-based MUD schemes. It is also demonstrated that the performance of the proposed algorithm can approach that of a single-user coded MC-CDMA system with an antenna array in additive white Gaussian noise and frequency selective fading channels.

A CMOS Imager with On-Chip Temporal Filtering for Motion Pre-Processing

Previous hardware implementations of the Reichardt motion detection model based on the fly visual system suffer from drawbacks such as large pixel area and fixed spatial frequency response. In this work, we introduce a two-stage implementation of the Reichardt model in order to overcome these issues. We perform the pixel-level temporal filtering required for motion processing along with photoreception on a single analog chip using continuous-time low-order filters. The rest of the computation—spatial filtering and correlation—is performed on a subsequent discrete-time digital processing stage. We designed and tested an integrated CMOS imager with integrated, pixel-level temporal filtering necessary for motion detection. This temporal filtering enhances transients and provides a delayed and non-delayed channel for each pixel in the array. By varying bias currents on the chip, we are able to control the time constant of continuous-time low pass filters that set the delay and hence the temporal response of the imager. By varying a reset switching frequency, we can control the high pass filter time constant which determines the time course of transient enhancement. Operation primarily in weak inversion results in a low-power sensor well suited for integration into a motion processing system. We have constructed a 16 × 16 temporal processing array in a 0.5 m CMOS process. Motion information is extracted by post processing the imager output in a discrete time domain, which validates the functionality of the temporal filters.     

Interference management for CDMA systems through power control,multiuser detection, and beamforming

Among the ambitious challenges to be met by the third-generation systems is to provide high-capacity flexible services. Code-division multiple access (CDMA) emerges as a promising candidate to meet these challenges. It is well known that CDMA systems are interference-limited, and interference management is needed to maximally utilize the potential gains of this access scheme. Several methods of controlling and/or suppressing the interference through power control, multiuser detection (temporal filtering), and receiver beamforming (spatial filtering) have been proposed to increase the capacity of CDMA systems up to date. We investigate the capacity increase that is possible by combining power control with intelligent temporal and spatial receiver filter design. The signal-to-interference ratio maximizing joint temporal-spatial receiver filters in unconstrained and constrained filter spaces are derived. Two-step iterative power control algorithms that converge to the optimum powers and the joint temporal and spatial receiver filters in the corresponding filter domains are given. A power control algorithm with a less complex filter update procedure is also given. We observe that significant savings in total transmit power are possible if filtering in both domains is utilized compared with conventional power control and joint optimal power control and filtering in only one domain

Multiaccess Interference Suppression in Orthogonal Space–Time Block Coded MIMO Systems by Adaptive Projected Subgradient Method

This paper introduces adaptive filters that are effective to suppress multiple access interference (MAI) in orthogonal space-time block coded/ multiple-input multiple-output (OSTBC-MIMO) systems. We define an optimal linear filter that minimizes the mean-square error between the filter output and a scaled version of the desired output under a constraint defined by the available channel state information (CSI). The adaptive filters refine a given estimate of the optimal filter by suppressing a sequence of closed convex functions with the adaptive projected subgradient method (APSM) at each iteration. To provide robustness against imperfect CSI, the adaptive filters use not only the available CSI but also estimates of previously transmitted symbols, which usually belong to a small finite set in digital communication systems. The resulting algorithms employ computationally efficient projections onto hyperplanes or hyperslabs and do not require any matrix inversion. An efficient recursive scheme based on such an algorithm is also presented. Convergence analysis and simulation results show the excellent performance of the proposed schemes.     

Recursive soft morphological filters

We present properties of recursive soft morphological filters that use previously filtered outputs as their inputs, cascade combinations of these filters, and the idempotent recursive soft morphological filters. The development allows problems in the implementation of cascaded recursive soft morphological filters to be reduced to the equivalent problems of a single recursive standard morphological filter.     

SINR maximizing space-time filtering for asynchronous DS-CDMA

Direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) is a core technology for wireless access that is proposed for future generation (3G) mobile and personal communication systems. The use of a base-station antenna array is strongly endorsed in these systems, because of its capabilities of filtering out the interference in the space domain. This paper considers space-time one shot single user receivers for DS-CDMA, based on a multiple input single output time invariant linear filter. The optimization of the filter response is performed jointly in the space and time domains yielding maximal signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. Using this framework, a space-time noise whitening matched filter (ST-NWMF) for DS-CDMA demodulation is introduced. It is shown that combined spatio-temporal filtering, taking advantage of the fact that the multiple access interference is colored in the space as well as time domains, can reduce the effects of strong interference components and improves the performance. Simpler suboptimal space-time linear receivers, consisting of a single temporal LT filter following the antenna array, are also considered. It is shown that such a filter approaches the ST-NWMF in the limit, when the M chip waveform has a flat spectrum with no excess bandwidth and N the observation interval is infinite. These schemes, optimal as well as suboptimal, for large observation intervals are suitable also for DS-CDMA systems employing long sequence spreading
