Performance analysis of O/sup 3/BPSK LDD for asynchronous CDMA systems in the presence of synchronization errors

A convenient signaling scheme, termed orthogonal on-off binary phase-shift keying (O/sup 3/BPSK), along with a simple one-shot linear decorrelating detector (LDD), was proposed by F.C. Zheng and S.K. Barton (see ibid., vol.47, p.969-76, 1998; Proc. IEEE PIMRC'94, p.194-8, 1994) as a technique for near-far resistant detection in asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems. The temporally adjacent bits from different users in the received signals are decoupled by using on-off signaling, and the data rate is maintained with no increase in the transmission rate by adopting an orthogonal structure. The paper examines the effects of three classes of synchronization errors (time-delay errors, carrier phase errors, and carrier frequency errors) on the performance of the O/sup 3/BPSK LDD in an asynchronous CDMA near-far environment. It is shown that the performance of the O/sup 3/BPSK LDD has an advantage over that of the isolation bit insertion detector in the presence of synchronization errors. In addition, numerical results show that the O/sup 3/BPSK LDD still offers a good near-far resistant property as long as synchronization errors do not exceed some practical limit.     

A one-shot LDD with pre-SDC/post-MRC for random CDMA overasynchronous Rayleigh channels

It is well known that conventional detectors of direct sequence-code division multiple access systems are interference-limited. Multiuser detection has been considered as a promising approach to combat this problem. Since an optimal multiuser detector is too complex to implement, several suboptimal multiuser detector techniques have been developed. The one-shot linear decorrelating detector (LDD) was proposed to reduce the computational complexity and delay required in the conventional LDD, but it still require high complexity. Another one-shot LDD with low complexity was proposed. To improve its performance, this detector uses a maximal ratio combining (MRC) at the two outputs of the left piece of the present bit and the right piece of the next bit in an one-shot window; this detector is called as a one-shot LDD with post-MRC. In spite of the aid of MRC, the performance of the one-shot LDD with post-MRC is worse than the one-shot LDD. To overcome this problem, we propose the one-shot LDD with pre-SDC/post-MRC that employs selection diversity combining (SDC) with multiple antenna elements in front of the one-shot LDD with post-MRC. In asynchronous random code division multiple access systems over fading channels, the largest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of SDC, near-far resistance (NFR) of the one-shot LDD, and the output SNR of MRC are random variables. We derive the probability density functions (PDFs) for these random variables and calculate the bit error rate) of the proposed detector using the obtained PDFs. In a comparison of mathematical analysis and computer simulation results, we observe good agreement     

Block modulus precoding for blind multiuser detection of DS-CDMA signals

We propose a blind multiuser detector based on a new data precoding technique for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access signals. The modulus of all users' data is block encoded, using a sequence that is unique for each user. This precoding method, together with the analytical constant modulus algorithm for detection, enables a closed-form, one-shot detection of the desired user's signal in a multipath channel using one or more antennas. The detection process does not involve or require a channel estimation step. The proposed detector is shown to be extremely near-far resistant, and can operate properly in the presence of severe carrier frequency offset.     

Near-far resistant channel estimation for CDMA systems using thelinear decorrelating detector

The well-known linear decorrelating detector (LDD) for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems provides near-far resistant performance when the timing of each user is accurately known. Traditional CDMA acquisition techniques suffer from high differences in power levels. The estimation accuracy for a user overwhelmed by stronger ones is likely to be unsatisfactory; at the same time, the interference from a user undergoing acquisition or tracking is not removed by the standard LDD. In this paper, a fully near-far resistant technique for acquisition and tracking for asynchronous CDMA systems applying the LDD is proposed, considering realistic band-limited signals. This technique is based on the adoption of a pair of special sequences equivalent to a dedicated access channel and is shown to provide a relatively fast and robust means to perform channel estimation both in case of single- and multipath channels     

A NOVEL ONE—SHOT DECORRELATOR IN CDMA SYSTEMS

A novel one-shot decorrelator for asynchronous CDMA systems is developed.Com-pared with existing one-shot decorrelator, it can reduce complexity and has better performance while eliminating all MAI.This decorrelator is shown to be near-far resistant in both AWGN and fading channel.     

ITERATIVE "ONE-SHOT" DECORRELATION IN DS-CDMA SYSTEMS

In this paper, an iterative "one-shot" decorrelator for asynchronous code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) systems is proposed. This decorrelator feedbacks the decorrelated symbols of interfering users before decision to mitigate their interferences. As a result, this decorrelator is a linear detector and does not need any amplitude information of users as in decision-feedback detectors. Compared with existing "one-shot" decorrelator, it has reduced complexity and provided better performance while eliminating all Multiple Access Interference(MAI). The performance of this decorrelator is analyzed thoeritically, and analytical result is given. Numerical results show near-far resistant capability of this decorrelator in both AWGN and fading channel.     

An Iterative CFO Estimation Using MVDR Criterion for Interleaved OFDMA Uplink Systems

This letter presents an iterative carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimator based on the minimum variance distortionless response criterion for interleaved orthogonal frequency division multiple access uplink systems, without using specific training sequences. The proposed estimator iteratively searches for the correct CFO vector by minimizing the objective function using a first-order Taylor series approximation of the CFO vector with the one initially given. However, the proposed estimator is not only can estimate CFO, but also has less computational load. Several computer simulation results are provided for illustrating the effectiveness of the blind estimate approach.     

Joint estimation of carrier offset and code timing for DS-CDMA with performance analysis

This paper considers the problem of joint carrier offset and code timing estimation for code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. In contrast to existing schemes that require nonlinear iterative searches over the multidimensional parameter space, this paper proposes a blind estimator that provides an algebraic solution to the joint parameter estimation problem. By exploiting the subspace structure of the observed signal, the multiuser estimation is first decoupled into a series of single-user estimation problems, and then analytical tools of polynomial matrices are invoked for joint carrier and code timing estimation of a single user. The proposed estimator is near-far resistant. It can deal with frequency-selective and time-varying channels. The performance of the proposed scheme is examined analytically by a first-order perturbation analysis. The authors also derive an unconditional Crame/spl acute/r-Rao bound (CRB) that is conditioned neither on fading coefficients nor information symbols; as such, the CRB is considered a suitable lower bound for blind methods. Numerical examples are presented to evaluate and compare the proposed and a multidimensional search (MD-search)-based scheme.     

A Systolic Array Implementation of the One-Shot Decorrelating Detector Used for Mobile CDMA Communications

A systolic array implementation of the one-shot decorrelating detector algorithm designed for Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) spread spectrum communication systems used in mobile communications environments is developed. This detector has the advantage that it is near-far resistant, that is, it minimizes the interference effects that near-end users have on far-end users. However, its implementation requires the on-line inversion of the correlation matrix between the desired and interfering users. For this reason, a systolic computation approach is chosen to help solve the problem of fast on-the-fly matrix inversion. Performance of the proposed implementation is assessed via digital computer simulation. The implementation methodology presented here leads to a VLSI implementation structure.     

A model for the electric field in lightly doped drain structures

A semi-quantitative model for the lateral channel electric field in LDD MOSFET's has been developed. This model is derived from a quasi-two-dimensional analysis under the assumption of a uniform doping profile. A field reduction factor and voltage improvement, indicating the effectiveness of an LDD design in reducing the peak channel field, are used to compare LDD structures with, without, and with partial gate/drain overlap. Approximate equations have been derived that show the dependencies of the field reduction factor on bias conditions and process parameters. Plots showing the trade-off between, and the process-dependencies of, the field reduction factor/voltage improvement and the series resistance are presented for the three cases. Structures with gate-drain overlap are found to provide greater field reduction than those without the overlap for the same series resistance introduced. This should be considered when comparing the double-diffused and spacer LDD structures. It is shown that gate-drain offset can cause the rise of channel field and substrate current at large gate voltages. This offset is also found to be responsible for nonsaturation of drain current. The model has also been compared with two-dimensional simulation results.

Blind adaptive multiuser detection for asynchronous dual-rateDS/CDMA systems

In this paper, the authors consider an asynchronous direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) system wherein users are allowed to transmit their symbols at one out of two available data rates. Three possible access schemes are considered, namely, the variable spreading length (VSL), the variable chip rate (VCR), and the variable chip rate with frequency shift (VCRFS) formats. Their performance is compared for the case that a linear one-shot multiuser receiver is employed. It is also shown that detection of the users transmitting at the higher rate requires a periodically time-varying processing of the observables. Moreover, the problem of blind adaptive receiver implementation is studied, and a cyclic blind recursive-least-squares (RLS) algorithm is provided which is capable of converging to the periodically time-varying high-rate users detection structure. Numerical results show that the proposed receivers are near-far resistant, and that the VCRFS access technique achieves the best performance. Finally as to the adaptive blind receiver implementation, computer simulations have revealed that the cyclic RLS algorithm for blind adaptive high-rate users demodulation outperforms the conventional RLS algorithm in most cases of primary importance     

Performance analysis of linear multiuser detectors for randomlyspread CDMA using Gaussian approximation

The performance of a linear decorrelating detector (LDD) and a minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector is analyzed for random spreading waveforms. The performance of the LDD and MMSE detectors is expressed in terms of the so-called near-far resistance, defined by a reciprocal of a diagonal component of inverse matrix. For random code division multiple access, which employs random spreading waveforms, the near-far resistance can be regarded as a random variable. Many papers have dealt with the analysis of multiuser detectors for random spreading sequences. In most cases, however, these analyses derived only the expectations or bounds for the near-far resistance. In this paper, we directly derive the approximate probability density function (PDF) of the near-far resistance and corresponding bit error rate expression for random spreading sequences. It is based on Gaussian approximation of the cross correlation between any two randomly generated spreading codes. The resulting PDF turned out to be a reversed-and-scaled version of chi-square distribution. The approximate expressions, both the PDF and the corresponding bit error rate expression, were verified via Monte Carlo simulations. The results showed that the approximation is quite close to the simulation results when the number of users is less than half the processing gain     

An analysis of the projection method for robust adaptivebeamforming

Two causes of performance degradation in adaptive beamforming are perturbation error and sample covariance error. These causes were discussed by Feldman and Griffihs (see IEEE Trans. Signal Processing, vol.42, p.867, April, 1994), which proposed an approach termed the projection method to reduce the sensitivity of the beamformer performance to both types of error. This paper contains an analysis of the expected performance of the beamformer when it is implemented, either with or without using the projection method. Based on a second-order Taylor series expansion of an approximate expression for the signal to interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the beamformer output, the analysis provides accurate results when either perturbation error or sample covariance error occurs. A less accurate analysis based on a zeroth-order Taylor series expansion includes results presented by Jablon (1986) and Chang and Yeh (see ibid., vol.40, no.11, p.1336, 1992) as special cases     

A theoretical study of gate/Drain offset in LDD MOSFET's

A semi-quantitative model for the lateral channel electric field in LDD MOSFET's has been developed. This model is derived from a quasi-two-dimensional analysis under the assumption of a uniform doping profile. A field reduction factor, indicating the effectiveness of an LDD design in reducing the peak channel field, is used to compared LDD structures with, without, and with partial gate/drain overlap. Plots showing the trade-off between, and the process-dependencies of, the field reduction factor (FRF) and the series resistance are presented for the three cases. Structures with gate/drain overlap are found to provide greater field reduction than those without the overlap for the same series resistance introduced. This should be considered when comparing the double-diffused and spacer LDD structures. It is shown that gate/drain offset can cause the rise of channel field and substrate current at large gate voltages. Good agreement with simulations is obtained.     

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     

Threshold discrimination and blanking for large near-far power ratios in UWB networks

A simple chip-discrimination technique is presented for use with ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) that improves performance for large near-far interference power ratios. A typical spread-spectrum IR that employs a matched-filter sum for bit decisions is susceptible to small numbers of large power pulses that can dominate the bit decision-threshold statistics. This letter describes a technique for chip discrimination prior to the spreading summation, that can greatly reduce the effects of large near-far power ratios among interferers. The technique exploits the very narrow pulsewidth and resulting low-duty-cycle characteristic only achievable with ultra-wide bandwidth. A statistical model is developed that predicts bit-error performance for binary offset pulse position modulation as a function of near-far density and power for varying discrimination thresholds. An analytic solution for perfect chip blanking is developed, and is in good agreement with chip discrimination for large near-far power ratios. We find that even a small number of very near interferers can greatly reduce the performance of a system without blanking or discrimination. Results show substantial improvement using this method for near interferers with near-far power ratios greater than 20 dB.     

Receiver design for multicarrier CDMA using frequency-domain oversampling

Based on the frequency-domain oversampling and minimum mean-square error (MMSE) principles, we propose three linear single-user detectors for downlink multicarrier codedivision multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems. We begin with an optimal linear MMSE detector, which is computationally demanding. To reduce the complexity, a two-stage MMSE detector and a diagonal one-stage MMSE detector are developed subsequently. Simulation results show that the proposed detectors can efficiently suppress the multiple access interference (MAI) caused by frequency-selective fading, near-far effect, frequency offset, and nonlinear power amplification.
