ABSTRACT A novel method of multipath diversity signal combination is
proposed for mobile direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS)
communications. Multiple transmissions are made for each spread signal.
Each transmission is independently delayed and amplified in the complex
domain according to the delay profile and the estimated path strength of
the channel. This is done to facilitate reception of a signal at the
mobile unit which is already a RAKE combination of the multipath
signals. This method is called a pre-RAKE combination system because the
RAKE combination function is performed pre-transmission. Using this
method the size and complexity of the mobile unit can be kept to a
minimum. The pre-RAKE method retains the advantages of diversity
reception in a multi-path fading environment. An examination of the SNR
for the traditional RAKE and the pre-RAKE systems and computer
simulations show that the performance of the pre-RAKE system is
equivalent to that of the RAKE system

    Conference Proceeding: A fast code acquisition technique for positioning systems
    F. Benedetto, G. Giunta
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: Satellite-based localization has attracted ever growing attention in the last few years. In this work, we present a signal processing technique for initial code acquisition and synchronization of satellite signals, such as the one used by position location techniques. Conventional approaches are based on the interpolation, usually carried out by (time-consuming) narrow-band over-sampling or (fast) fitting of few samples of a smoothed function of the ambiguity function around its coarse maximum. Conversely, the devised detector exploits a fast parabolic interpolation, running on three estimated ambiguity samples in the neighborhood of the coarse estimate. Performance analysis is carried out in comparison with the conventional power detector method. The obtained results have evidenced that the devised method is well suited for satellite spread-spectrum communications such as the GALILEO system.

    Conference Proceeding: Hybrid Single/Multi-User MIMO Transmission Based on Implicit Channel Feedback
    K. Kusume, K. Khashaba, G. Dietl, W. Utschick
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper investigates multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission techniques based on realistic assumptions on feedback of channel state information. We consider three conventional techniques as the baseline: 3GPP long-term evolution (LTE) single user MIMO (SU-MIMO) based on implicit channel feedback, zero-forcing multiuser MIMO (ZF MU-MIMO) based on explicit channel feedback, and ZF MU-MIMO based on implicit channel feedback. SU-MIMO may not be able to exploit the full spatial dimension of the downlink MIMO channel. ZF MU-MIMO has the potential to improve the spectral efficiency, but the explicit channel feedback is not compatible with implicit feedback whereas implicit based ZF MU-MIMO is limited by performance and also the commonly assumed rank restriction makes it impossible to perform dynamic switching of SU/MU MIMO transmission. We propose a new hybrid scheme which enables such dynamic switching of SU/MU MIMO transmission by allowing UE to feed back the implicit channel information without any rank restriction. Computer simulation results show the benefits of the new hybrid scheme, which can properly switch to the better transmission mode in various correlation scenarios.

    Article: Capacity and Error Performance of Reduced-Rank Transmitter Multiuser Preprocessing Based on Minimum Power Distortionless Response
    Lie-Liang Yang
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this contribution we first derive a transmitter multiuser preprocessing (TMP) scheme for a general multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system based on the minimum power distortionless response (MPDR) criterion, which minimizes the power in the context of a given downlink mobile terminal (MT) under the distortionless condition. This optimization problem results in a solution, which has the same form as the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) multiuser detection (MUD). Hence, we then extend the well-known rank-reduction techniques in MMSE-MUD to the MPDR-TMP in order to mitigate the possible implementation problems of the MPDRTMP. In our study three classes of rank-reduction algorithms are considered, which are derived, respectively, based on the eigen-analysis methods of principal components (PC) and crossspectral metrics (CSMs) as well as on the Taylor polynomial approximation (TPA) approach, which does not depend on the eigen-analysis. In this contribution both the capacity and error performance of a downlink space-division multiple-access (SDMA) system is investigated, when either the full-rank or reduced-rank MPDR-TMP is invoked. From our study and simulation results, it can be shown that the MPDR-TMP scheme is highly efficient for achieving the capacity and for suppressing the multiuser interference (MUI). The reduced-rank techniques can be employed by the MPDR-TMP, so as to reduce its implementation complexity while achieving the near full-rank performance of the full-rank MPDR-TMP.
