Superimposed Pilot Aided Multiuser Channel Estimation for MIMO‐OFDM Uplinks

This letter addresses the superimposed pilot aided multiuser channel estimation for the uplinks of multi‐input multi‐output orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing systems. To mitigate the embedded‐data effects on the performance of channel estimation, a novel combining algorithm is proposed. Optimal pilot symbols are developed with respect to the least square channel estimate's mean square error. The averaged sum‐capacity lower bound is derived and simulated. Simulation results show that on a low signal‐to‐noise ratio regime, our proposed scheme achieves better performance and higher capacity than the conventional pilot aided approach.

Performance Comparison of Multiuser Detectors with Channel Estimation for Flat Rayleigh Fading CDMA Channels

Since the conventional detector performs poorly in bandwidth-efficient Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, several multiuser detectors were proposed recently. In this paper, we compare performance of the decorrelator, the two-stage detector (2S), and the decision-feedback detector (DF) for the Rayleigh flat fading synchronous CDMA channel. First, assuming perfect channel estimation, we show that the 2S and the DF have much lower bit error rate (BER) than the decorrelator, and prove that the ideal DF has unity Asymptotic Multiuser Efficiency (AME). Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of these detectors in the presence of channel mismatch. We model the Rayleigh flat fading channel as the second order Auto Regressive (AR) process, and use the Kalman filter as the channel estimator. The lower bounds on the BER of the 2S and the DF are derived. The analytical results and the simulations show that the estimation error accumulated due to cancellation of other users limits the performance of the 2S and the DF. Therefore, in the presence of channel mismatch, the decorrelator offers comparable or even better performance than more complex decision-feedback and two-stage detectors.     

基于NLMS的CDMA盲自适应多用户检测算法研究

多用户检测是抑制DS-CDMA系统多址干扰最有效的技术之一。由于所需的先验知识仪有期望用户的地址码,盲多用户检测技术的研究尤受重视。最小输出能量(MOE)准则被广泛用于盲线性多用户检测。目前已提出的该类检测器多采用LMS或RLS算法。本文则研究基于NLMS算法的盲自适应检测技术,并进一步提出盲自适应变步长NLMS检测器和参数可变的盲自适应变步长NLMS检测器。它们具备很好的收敛速度和跟踪能力,以及较高的输出信干比,同时计算复杂度仅为O(3N)或O(4N),非常适合硬件实现。

Impact of Imperfect Power Control and Channel Estimation on the Performance of Multiuser Detectors in Synchronous DS-CDMA System

Simulation performance comparison of various linear multiuser and parallel interference cancellation (PIC) detectors in the presence of imperfect power control and channel estimation is presented. Results show that imperfect power control degrades even the performance of a single-user detector. Therefore, tight power control is highly indispensable for suboptimal detectors to maintain a good performance. When power control is not perfect, interference cancellation detectors can outperform linear multiuser detectors. Among cancellation detectors, the conventional [1] and partial PIC [2] detectors are fairly sensitive to channel estimation error, while the LMS PIC [3] is quite robust in this regard.     

Differentially Coherent Blind Adaptive Receiver for Rayleigh Fading CDMA Channels

Interest in code division multiple access (CDMA) has increased dramaticallyin boththe industry and academia. This is due to the potential increase in usercapacity andinterference, multipath fading, and jam-resistant capabilities. Differentapproaches ofmultiuser detection schemes have shown improvement over the conventionalreceiver.However, multiuser detectors require system parameters and adaptive multiuserreceivers require training sequences. These parameters are difficult toobtain inmultipath fading channels with a degradation in performance. A blind adaptivemultiuser receiver for flat fading and frequency-selective fading environments isstudied in this paper. This receiver alleviates the problem of multiuser detectors and adaptivemultiuser receivers by using a blind adaptive equalization method. The structure of the receiveris similar to that of the adaptive MMSE receiver which consists of an adaptive equalizer and an adaptivemechanism that uses a standard least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm, but uses a matched filterto generate a reference signal. The receiver is shown to be effective in different fadingchannels with perfect power control and a near-far effect. Furthermore, the simulationresults show that the blind MMSE receiver outperforms the conventional receiver and theRAKE receiver.     

基于子空间盲多用户检测算法的设计和仿真

随着数字移动通信技术的飞速发展,以码分多址(CDMA)为核心的第三代移动通信(3G)技术已经走入人们的日常生活。CDMA系统具有容量大、软容量、抗多径衰落强等优点,但多址干扰(MAI)的存在却严重的影响了系统的性能和容量,因此如何消除和抑制这种干扰就成了CDMA技术研究的热门话题之一,第三代移动通信系统已经将多用户检测技术(MUD)作为克服多址干扰的有效方法之一。文中主要研究了直接序列扩频码分多址(DS-CDMA)系统中的盲多用户检测算法,深入的研究了基于卡尔曼滤波的盲多用户检测算法,通过在卡尔曼滤波算法上引入子空间提高了原有卡尔曼滤波算法的效率。     

Blind Adaptive Multiuser Detection for the MC‐CDMA Systems Using Orthogonalized Subspace Tracking

In this paper, we study the performance of subspace‐based multiuser detection techniques for multicarrier code‐division multiple access (MC‐CDMA) systems. We propose an improvement in the PASTd algorithm by cascading it with the classical Gram‐Schmidt procedure to orthonormalize the eigenvectors after their sequential extraction. The tracking of signal subspace using this algorithm, which we call OPASTd, has a faster convergence as the eigenvectors are orthonormalized at each discrete time sample. This improved PASTd algorithm is then used to implement the subspace blind adaptive multiuser detection for MC‐CDMA. We also show that, for multiuser detection, the complexity of the proposed scheme is lower than that of many other orthogonalization schemes found in the literature. Extensive simulation results are presented and discussed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.

A Full Rate Quasi‐orthogonal STF‐OFDM with DAC‐ZF Decoder over Wireless Fading Channels

In this letter, we propose a quasi‐orthogonal space‐time‐frequency (QOSTF) block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) that can achieve full symbol rate with four transmit antennas. Since the proposed QOSTF‐OFDM cannot achieve full diversity, we use a diversity advantage collection with zero forcing (DAC‐ZF) decoder to compensate the diversity loss at the receiving side. Due to modulation advantage and collected diversity advantage, the proposed scheme exhibits a better bit‐error rate performance than other orthogonal schemes.
