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.

A New Improved First-Order Approximate Decorrelating Detector for DS-CDMA Communication Systems

An improved first-order approximate decorrelating detector for direct-sequencecode divisionmultiple access (DS-CDMA) communication systems is proposed. This detector isbased on theminimization of the multiple access interference (MAI) for each user. Throughanalysis andnumerical results, the detector is shown to perform better than the originalfirst-order approximatedetector in various conditions at the expense of an additional complexity onthe order of O(K²), whereK is the number of active users in the system.     

Macrodiversity in DS/CDMA Asynchronous Systems with Decorrelating Detectors

This paper analyzes the application of macrodiversity in Code DivisionMultiple Access (CDMA) asynchronous systems with decorrelatingdetection in the reverse link. It is shown that decorrelatingdetectors allow predetection combining and, utilizing this property,several combining strategies are studied. We obtain the set ofcombining factors which minimize the bit error probability, andbased on these results, we propose the Simplified Minimum ErrorCriterion (SMEC), which has little impact on the overallcomplexity of the system and outperforms theMaximal Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio Combiner(MSINRC). Using this technique, it is possible to perform a distributeddetection in the area influenced by the mobile, allowing thecoexistence of heterogeneous cells and the effective useof microcells.     

Decorrelating detectors for quasi-synchronous CDMA

To date, two forms of spread spectrum code division multiple access (CDMA) have been considered in the literature. Either synchronous CDMA, where all users are both chip and bit synchronized relative to each other, or asynchronous CDMA, where all users are neither chip nor bit synchronized relative to each other. Between these two extremes lies quasi-synchronous CDMA (QS-CDMA) where users are not chip synchronized but are approximately bit synchronized. Quasi-synchronous CDMA arises in microcell systems where the combined propagation time and delay spread produces a variation in the round trip delay time limited to a few chips.Detection of QS-CDMA at the base station is considered. It is shown that memoryless detection can be achieved by appending blank chips to the user's spreading codes.Two decorrelating detectors are proposed and analyzed. The first uses a matched filter bank to produce a discrete time signal, and the second uses a single oversampling integrate-and-dump filter to produce a discrete time signal. For the first detector, each matched filter is synchronized to its respective user, and for the second detector, the integrate-and-dump filter is synchronized to the base station transmissions. The performance of the two detectors is shown to be approximately equal provided the integrate-and-dump filter is sampled at least two times the chip rate.

Performance Evaluation for Forward-Link Cellular DS-CDMA over Frequency-Selective Nakagami Multipath Fading Channels

The bit-error rate (BER) for a forward-link cellulardirect-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systemis evaluated. This analysis takes into account the effects ofmulti-cell interference resulting from Nakagami multipath fading,frequency selectivity, path loss and mobile user spatialdistribution. Exponentially decaying multipath intensityprofile (MIP) is adopted in the model to investigate itssignificance on the overall performance. In order to evaluatethe BER performance efficiently, saddlepoint integration (SPI)is applied in the analysis. By fixing the number of resolvablemultipaths and varying the number of fingers for the RAKEreceiver, it can be shown that the capacity of a DS-CDMAcellular system increases almost linearly with the number ofRAKE fingers.     

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.     

Analysis of an Approximate Decorrelating Detector

In this paper an approximate decorrelating detector is analyzed on the basis of a first order approximation to the inverse crosscorrelation matrix of signature waveforms. The approximation is fairly accurate for systems with low crosscorrelations and is exact in the two-user synchronous case. We present an exact as well as approximate analysis of the bit-error-rate performance of this detector on a channel that is subject to flat fading, and also specifically for the case of random signature waveforms. The detector outperforms the conventional matched filter receiver in terms of BER. The approximate decorrelator (while not being near-far resistant like the decorrelating detector) is fairly robust to imperfections in power control. Power trade-off regions are identified which characterize the significant advantage that the approximate decorrelator provides over the matched filter receiver. The reduced complexity of the approximate decorrelator and performance gains over the conventional matched filter makes it a viable alternative for implementation in practical CDMA systems, in particular in those where the signature waveforms span many symbol intervals.

Linear Differentially Coherent Multiuser Detection for Multipath Channels

By combining multipath processing, differential signal detection, and multiuser detection techniques, we develop a class of near-far resistant linear detectors for differentially coherent multipath signals. We derive and establish performance relationships among the following detectors: an optimally near-far resistant detector, a suboptimum detector which does not require knowledge of the signal coordinates, and a minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector which achieves near-optimum asymptotic efficiency. We present an adaptive multiuser detector which converges to the MMSE detector without training sequences and which requires less information than the conventional single user rake receiver.     

O<Superscript>3</Superscript>BPSK-based Linear Decorrelating Detector for Asynchronous DS/CDMA Systems over Frequency-Selective Rayleigh Fading Channels

In this paper, a convenient signaling scheme, called orthogonal on–off BPSK (O³BPSK), along with a simple one-shot linear decorrelating detector (LDD) and a whitening Rake bank, is proposed for near–far resistant detection in asynchronous DS/CDMA systems. Based on the maximum multi-path spreading delay, a minimum duration of “off” is suggested, during which the temporally adjacent bits (TABs) that contain multi-user interference (MUI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI) from different users at the receiver are decoupled. The O³BPSK signaling scheme is combined with the whitening Rake receiver to preserve multi-path diversity gain in multi-path fading CDMA channels. The scheme offers low complexity, no detection delay, near–far resistance, and compensation for fading channels.

Decorrelating detector with diversity combining for single user frequency-selective rayleigh fading multipath channels

Diversity combining techniques are applied in mobile radio communications as a means of performance improvement in a fading multipath environment. Adaptive equalizers which incorporate diversity combining were shown to combat intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by multipath provided that the fading is sufficiently slow. However, for fast fading rates, noncoherent techniques are often desirable. In this paper, we examine the performance of several coherent and noncoherent detectors that make use of diversity combining. In particular, the decorrelating filter is shown to provide reliable performance for a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading multipath channel with ISI. Numerical and simulation results are presented for a channel with two independent Rayleigh fading paths. Signal design issues which arise in the implementation of the decorrelating detector and the zero-forcing equalizer are discussed.

Performance of a Multicarrier CDMA System with Rayleigh Fading Multipath Channels

This paper examines the performance of a multicarrier CDMA system in a Rayleigh fading channel without a RAKE receiver. Since the multicarrier technique is a diversity reception technique used in the frequency domain, the signal is transmitted at different frequency bands and undergoes different fading. The superimposed signal of the multipath components after going through the mobile channel will be processed by an Fourier Transform to enter the frequency domain, where the time delays in various paths are converted to the phase shifts in the compound signal. In this paper, we use sounding bits to extract the characteristics of the mobile channel and to partly remove the multipath effect. From the simulation, it is found that the multicarrier technique is simpler than the technique used in the single carrier system with a RAKE receiver while producing a better performance than that of the RAKE receiver.

Performance Analysis of Adaptive Path Selective Decorrelating Detector with Channel Estimation Errors

The system complexity and noise enhancement due to the use of Multipath Decorrelating Detector (MDD) can be reduced by employing adaptive path selection technique. Adaptive Path Selective Decorrelating Detector (APSDD) requires knowledge of the channel coefficients for path selection. Generally, the channel coefficients are assumed to be known at the receiver. However, this is not realistic and the channel coefficients should be estimated. In this paper, we extend the Bit Error Rate (BER) analysis of the path selective receiver to include channel estimation errors.
