  • Article: On the performance of hybrid FEC/ARQ systems using rate compatible punctured turbo (RCPT) codes
    D.N. Rowitch, L.B. Milstein
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper introduces a hybrid forward-error correction/automatic repeat-request (ARQ) system that employs rate compatible punctured turbo (RCPT) codes to achieve enhanced throughput performance over a nonstationary Gaussian channel. The proposed RCPT-ARQ system combines the performance of turbo codes with the frugal use of incremental redundancy inherent in the rate compatible punctured convolutional codes of Hagenauer (1988). Moreover, this paper introduces the notion of puncturing the systematic code symbols of a turbo code to maximize throughput at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of interest. The resulting system provides both an efficient family of achievable code rates at middle to high SNR and powerful low-rate error correction capability at low SNR

  • Article: Convolutionally coded multicarrier DS-CDMA systems in a multipath fading channel. II. Narrow-band interference suppression
    D.N. Rowitch, L.B. Milstein
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: For pt.I see ibid., vol.47, p.1570-92 (1999). In Rowitch and Milstein (1999), a convolutionally encoded multicarrier asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system was proposed and compared to a classical single-carrier DS-CDMA system employing a RAKE receiver and the same convolutional code, in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise and multiple-access interference. This paper considers the additional impact of various forms of narrow-band interference on the performance of these two systems and the ability of the multicarrier system to effectively suppress the interference using the innate structure of its receiver. At roughly equivalent receiver complexity, results demonstrate superior performance of the multicarrier system in the presence of such interference, without requiring the addition of a front-end interference suppression filter

  • Article: Convolutionally coded multicarrier DS-CDMA systems in a multipath fading channel. I. Performance analysis
    D.N. Rowitch, L.B. Milstein
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper presents a multicarrier asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system wherein the output of a convolutional encoder modulates multiple band-limited DS-CDMA waveforms, which are transmitted in parallel at different carrier frequencies. The receiver detects and combines signals for the desired user and feeds a soft-decision Viterbi decoder. The performance of this system is compared to that of a conventional single-carrier DS-CDMA system with a RAKE receiver, assuming a slowly varying frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel and assuming the presence of additive white Gaussian noise and multiple-access interference. Results will demonstrate similar performance at roughly equal receiver complexity

  • Conference Proceeding: Coded multicarrier DS-CDMA in the presence of partial band interference
    D.N. Rowitch, L.B. Milstein
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper presents a multicarrier asynchronous direct sequence (DS) code division multiple access (CDMA) system, wherein the output of a convolutional encoder modulates multiple bandlimited DS-CDMA waveforms which are transmitted in parallel at different carrier frequencies. The receiver detects and combines signals for the desired user and feeds a soft decision Viterbi decoder. The performance of this system is compared to that of a conventional single carrier DS-CDMA system with a RAKE receiver, assuming a slowly varying, frequency selective, Rayleigh fading channel and assuming the presence of AWGN, multiple access interference, and partial-band interference. Results will demonstrate similar performance at roughly equal receiver complexity in the absence of partial-band interference, and superior performance of the multicarrier system in the presence of partial-band interference

  • Conference Proceeding: Convolutional coding for direct sequence multicarrier CDMA
    D.N. Rowitch, L.B. Milstein
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper presents a multicarrier asynchronous direct sequence (DS) code division multiple access (CDMA) system which, through the use of linear convolutional codes, achieves frequency diversity of an order above and beyond that realized by path diversity in a conventional RAKE DS-CDMA system. A frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel is decomposed into M frequency non-selective channels, based on the channel coherence bandwidth. Then, a rate 1/M convolutional code is used to modulate the M DS-CDMA waveforms. Diversity gains on the order of the code free distance may now be achieved. This system exhibits robust performance in the presence of narrowband interference and jamming, yet preserves the natural multiple access interference rejection properties inherent in the standard DS-CDMA model. Significant capacity gains over the single carrier system are demonstrated, while holding overall system bandwidth and information rates constant
