Adaptive BLAST-type decision-feedback equalizers for DS-CDMA systems

In this paper, we propose two new adaptive equalization algorithms for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems operating over time-varying and frequency selective channels. The equalization schemes consist of a number of serially connected stages and detect users in an ordered manner, applying a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) at each stage. Both the equalizer filters and the order in which the users are extracted are updated in a recursive least squares (RLS) manner, efficiently realized through time- and order-update recursions. V-BLAST detection ordering is implemented, that is, the stronger signal is extracted first so that the weaker users can be more easily detected. The spreading codes are unavailable at the receiver of the first scheme, whereas the second algorithm employs the RAKE receiver concept, incorporating knowledge of the spreading sequences to offer performance improvement. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the equalizers is evaluated via simulations, in both mild and severe near-far environments. Their superiority over existing techniques is demonstrated.     

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.     

Reference Symbol Assisted Multi-Stage Successive Interference Cancellation for CDMA Wireless Communication: Robustness to Parameter Imperfections with Biphase and Quadriphase spreading

This paper investigates the sensitivity to system imperfections of a reference symbol assisted multi-stage successive interference cancelling (RAMSIC) receiver. Reverse link of a CDMA system with binary antipodal modulation and coherent detection is considered. Performance of systems using either biphase and quadriphase spreading is compared under different operating conditions. Analysis of a conventional matched filter receiver operating on an AWGN channel reveals that when the number of users is small (such that the multiple access interference cannot be accurately modelled as Gaussian), quadriphase spreading has a significant advantage over biphase spreading. This advantage, however, disappears when the number of users per sector is large (of the order necessary for the multiple access interference to be considered Gaussian). Results for the RAMSIC receiver with quadriphase spreading, on the other hand, show that for hexagonal cell geometry with path loss exponent of 4 and without any forward error correction coding, the traffic capacity is between 1.17 and 1.67 times that of the IS-95. These numbers represent a significant increase over those obtained with biphase spreading. Further investigation with nonidealized cell geometries and other path loss exponents also shows substantial capacity improvement over that of conventional correlator receivers. Performance losses due to nonideal transmitter power amplifier gating, imperfect power control and synchronization errors in the RAKE receiver are also determined. The results for biphase spreading show that for path loss exponent of 4, imperfect amplifier gating causes relatively minor decrease in the traffic capacity, while no such effect is observed for path loss exponents of 2 and 3. As expected, relaxing of power control for both biphase and quadriphase spreading has a similar capacity reducing effect. In spite of these two effects the resultant capacity is still significantly higher than that with the conventional matched filter receiver. Capacity increase with quadriphase over biphase spreading is between 1.4 and 2.0 times. Chip synchronization errors of the order to be expected in a properly designed conventional CDMA system have only minimal effect on performance. Therefore, we conclude that conventional synchronization algorithms should perform adequately with successive interference cancelling receivers considered in the paper.     

Performance of coded DS‐CDMA system using reduced rank MMSE receiver in Rayleigh fading channels

This paper examines the performance of a reduced rank minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver‐based direct sequence code division multiple access (DS‐CDMA) system. For such system, when a large processing gain is employed, substantial time is consumed in computing the filter tap weights. Many schemes for reducing the complexity of the MMSE have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, computational complexity reduction of the MMSE receiver is achieved by using the K‐mean classification algorithm. The performance of the uncoded and coded systems are investigated for the full rank MMSE receiver and reduced rank MMSE receiver and results are compared in terms of bit error rate at different loading levels in both AWGN and fading channels. A system with the matched filter (MF) receiver is also presented for the purpose of comparison and an analytical pair‐wise error bound for the coded system is derived. In the adaptive implementation of the receivers, results show that good performance is achieved for the reduced rank receiver when compared to the full rank receiver in both coded and uncoded systems, while in the optimum implementation of the tap weights, the reduced dimension receiver performance experiences degradation when compared to the full rank scheme. Over the band‐limited channels considered, results for the reduced rank receiver also reiterate the fact that higher code rates tend to yield lower BER than that of low rate codes.

Multi‐group linear turbo equalization with intercell interference cancellation for MC‐CDMA cellular systems

In this paper, we investigate multi‐group linear turbo equalization using single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC) techniques to mitigate the intercell interference for multi‐carrier code division multiple access (MC‐CDMA) cellular systems. It is important for the mobile station to mitigate the intercell interference as the performance of the users close to cell edge is mainly degraded by the intercell interference. The complexity of the proposed iterative detector and receiver is low as the one‐tap minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer is employed for mitigating the intracell interference, while a simple group interference canceller is used for suppressing the intercell interference. Simulation results show that the proposed iterative detector and receiver can mitigate the intercell interference effectively through iterations for both uncoded and coded signals.

Relative Performance of BPSK and QPSK in the Presence of Complex Multiuser CDMA Interference

In a typical mobile communications channel, the multiple accessinterference (MAI) experienced by any user in a multiuser CDMA systemwill be complex-valued due to independent phase offsets betweensignals received from different users. In addition, complex spreadingcodes may also be employed, in which case MAI is complex-valued evenwithout phase offsets. This paper shows that complex MAI substantiallyalters the single-user relationship between BPSK and QPSK modulation,in which QPSK offers twice the bandwidth efficiency of BPSK withoutsacrificing BER versus E_b/N₀ performance. Itis shown bothanalytically and through simulations that it is possible to adjustsystem parameters to achieve identical system bandwidth efficiency andBER performance in BPSK and QPSK systems using the conventionaldetector. The performance of the well-known successive interferencecanceller and decorrelating detector are also examined.

On Multirate DS-CDMA Schemes with Interference Cancellation

This paper investigates interference cancellation (IC) in direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems that support multiple data rates. Two methods for implementing multiple data rates are considered. One is the use of mixed modulation and the other is the use of multicodes. We introduce and analyze a new approach that combines these multiple data rate systems with IC. The cancellation in the receiver is performed successively on each user, starting with the user received with the highest power. This procedure can in turn be iterated, forming a multistage scheme, with the number of iterations set as a design parameter. Our analysis employs a Gaussian approximation for the distribution of the interference, and it includes both the AWGN and the flat Rayleigh fading channel. The systems are also evaluated via computer simulations. Our analysis and simulations indicate that the IC schemes used in mixed modulation or multicode systems yield a performance close to the single BPSK user bound and, consequently, give a prospect of a considerable improvement in performance compared to systems employing matched filter detectors.

Schemes for capacity increase in multiple‐rate dual‐class DS/CDMA systems

This paper presents and compares the capacities of multi‐cell and power constrained direct sequence‐code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems with different transmission or detection schemes. In the single‐class case (voice), we considered conventional and successive interference cancellation (SIC) schemes, determining the maximum number of users of each mode. Next, modeling and results proposed in the literature are extended for multi‐cell dual‐class systems (voice and data) and we compare the maximum data throughputs obtained with conventional, SIC and scheduling (transmission) schemes, for some user configurations.

一种新的应用于多载波码分多址系统的干扰对消算法

本文提出了一种适用于多载波直扩码分多址系统(MC-DS-CDMA)上行信道的低复杂度部分并行干扰对消(LC-PPIC)算法.该算法充分利用MC-DS-CDMA系统的信道估计与子载波分集,在各个子载波上将用户分为可靠,普通和无效三类,对可靠用户进行干扰对消处理并消去后,再对普通用户进行相同操作,并放弃无效用户,最后将各个子载波上的结果通过最大比合并(MRC)输出.这样,在降低运算复杂度的同时,更好地抑制了多址干扰(MAI).通过仿真比较,可以看出LC-PPIC算法的误码率(BER)性能明显优于置于载波合并前后的两种部分并行干扰对消(PPIC)算法,特别是在系统负载较重和信噪比较高的情况下,这种优势十分显著.     

扩频码速率异步时直扩系统码分多址能力

直接序列扩频码分多址系统是目前应用最广泛的扩频系统,影响系统容量的主要因素是系统内多址信号的干扰。分析了采用Gold码的码速率异步直扩系统多址干扰,对扩展积分周期和单一积分周期均进行了数值仿真。仿真结果表明,码速率异步的Gold序列互相关函数不再具有三值特性;随着积分长度的扩展,互相关函数的统计值逐渐递减,即多址干扰减小;多址干扰与码偏移量大小有关,在某些特定码偏移量,积分长度为最小公倍数周期时,互相关函数接近为单值,而这些码偏移量正负对称出现;积分长度为单一周期时,多址干扰随码偏移量的变化趋势与扩频码长度无关;在相同码偏移量的情况下,随着扩频码的长度增加而减小。     

Parallel interference cancellation employing RAKE receiver with selection diversity for multiuser asynchronous DS/CDMA detectors in multipath Rayleigh fading channels

In this paper, we propose and analyse parallel CCI multistage cancellation by combining RAKE and selection diversity. In order to account for channel variations, adaptive implementation of decision thresholds at the RAKE output is suggested. It is shown to provide significant improvement over either hard or soft decision techniques especially in the near‐far situation. Investigation of the system robustness to imperfect channel parameter estimation is also presented. The communication channel is modelled as slowly varying Rayleigh fading discrete multipath channel.

Near-Optimum Iterative Multiuser Receiver for FEC Encoded DS-CDMA

The powerful iterative algorithm of Turbo code is employed in the proposed iterative multiuser receiver for the downlink of a forward error correction (FEC) coded direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) environment. The receiver iterates between the 2 coding dimensions, namely the spreading codes and the FEC codes. The optimum iterative multiuser receiver uses the optimum decentralised single-user detector to generate the single-user extrinsic information for the single-user decoders. This paper suggests a near-optimum detector using a folded trellis preselection stage for the multiuser signal detection, in order to reduce the dominating complexity of the optimum decentralised detector. Simulation results show that performance is close to optimum. The effect of the single-user decoders' extrinsic information on the signal detection stage is also investigated and it is found that extrinsic information improves performance.     

Overlapped universal filtered multicarrier system for uplink wireless communication

Universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC) is a promising new waveform that eliminates cyclic prefix and performs filtering on a chunk of successive subcarriers. Therefore, it is suitable for applications with requirements on high spectral efficiency and low latency. However, the limited bandwidth may be an obstacle for reliable communication in frequency selective channels. This paper proposes a new transmitter structure for uplink wireless communication system based on UFMC waveform. The basic idea is to allow a user to transmit its information on more than one subband simultaneously, increasing its robustness against frequency selectivity. To eliminate the multiuser interference brought by the overlapped transmission strategy, an iterative receiver with parallel interference cancellation is designed. Rate analysis is provided to reveal the rationale of the proposed scheme. Simulations on the symbol error rate performance are conducted to validate the transceiver design. It is found that the proposed scheme outperforms existing UFMC design without sacrificing any other performance metrics with only moderately increased complexity.     

室内可见光通信信道估计的研究

要:建立了室内可见光通信系统模型,针对其信道冲击响应,分别采用最小二乘(LS)估计方法和最小均方差(MMSE)估计方法对信道进行了理论分析,并且通过计算机仿真,对两种不同的估计方法性能进行了比较,最后在此基础上,分别对抽头长度和训练序列长度对信道估计的性能影响进行了仿真验证。实验结果表明:在相同信噪比下,MMSE方法的性能优于LS方法,但是计算量比LS方法复杂,而且LS方法性能依赖于噪声的影响,信噪比越高,LS估计方法的性能越好。同时抽头数越多,训练序列越长,信道估计的性能越好,但也会增加计算的复杂度。
