A Hybrid Interference Cancellation Scheme for Multiuser Systems in Multipath Fading Channels

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Issue 2 2000
Ann-Louise Johansson
A new hybrid interference cancellation (IC) scheme is proposed for the uplink of multirate direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems communicating over mobile radio channels. The hybrid IC scheme includes both non-decision directed and decision directed IC, together with a modified RAKE combiner to utilize the diversity in a frequency-selective channel. The performance is evaluated via computer simulations for the two multiple data rate schemes, mixed modulation and multicode, in a multipath environment. Both known channel parameters and channel estimation using pilot symbols are considered. The results show that rnulticode or a combination of multicode and mixed modulation are preferable when handling multirate system and the loss in performance compared to the single-user bound is small.

Multistage multiuser detector for multipath fading channel

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS, Issue 6 2001
Dejan M. Novakovi
In this paper, the multistage multiuser detector for communication over multipath fading channel is considered. The detector consists of a matched filters bank and a linear equalizer whose outputs are diversity combined to produce initial data estimates. Using these data estimates multiuser interference is reconstructed and removed from the output signals of the matched filters bank. Afterward, diversity combining is applied again and it produces final decision statistics. Simulation results indicate that this detector outperforms conventional RAKE receiver and the linear equalizer with diversity combining. Also, the proposed detector is near,far resistant. [source]

Performance evaluation for asynchronous MC-CDMA systems with a symbol timing offset

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, Issue 4 2009
Myonghee Park
Abstract This paper models a symbol timing offset (STO) with respect to the guard period and the maximum access delay time for asynchronous multicarrier-code division multiple access systems over frequency-selective multipath fading channels. Analytical derivation shows that STO causes desired signal power degradation and generates self-interferences. This effect of the STO on the average bit error rate (BER) and the effective signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is evaluated using the semi-analytical method, and the approximated BER and the SNR loss caused by STO are then obtained as closed-form expressions. The tightness between the semi-analytical result and the approximated one is verified for the different STOs and SNRs. Furthermore, the derived analytical results are verified via Monte Carlo simulations. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]
