Abstract

A multi-stage partial parallel interference cancellation receiver is proposed for the multi-rate DS-CDMA system which adopts the multiple processing gain scheme. In each stage of the proposed receiver, partial cancellation is performed with an adaptive decision threshold which is computed from the matched filter outputs of the previous stage. The BER performance of the proposed receiver is obtained by simulation in a Rayleigh fading channel. It is shown that the proposed receiver achieves smaller BER than the multi-stage parallel interference cancellation receiver and extended group-wise successive interference cancellation receiver in the multi-rate DS-CDMA system

In this letter, we propose a groupwise successive interference cancellation (GSIC) receiver with gradient descent search for multirate DS-CDMA system. Proposed receiver incorporates iterative gradient descent search algorithm into conventional GSIC receiver for multi-rate DS-CDMA system. It is shown that the receiver achieves significant performance improvement over the matched filter (MF) receiver, GSIC receiver, multi-stage parallel interference cacnellation (PIC) receiver, multi-stage partial PIC receiver, and GSIC receiver with PIC in a Rayleigh fading channel.
... Under assumption of perfect channel estimation, the non Linear PIC outperforms the LPIC. An extension to PIC, called partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC), has been proposed in [7]. In this scheme, it has been shown that if interference is removed partially at each stage, the performance of the system would be significantly better than complete cancellation. ...

In this paper, selective adaptive (SA) receiver for Multicarrier Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) system is presented. This receiver has high performance and at the same time reduces the multiple access interference (MAI) of the MC DS-CDMA) system with low computational complexity. The performance of SA receiver is measured in terms of the bit error rate (BER). An upper bound expression of the BER for the SA receiver under Rayleigh fading channel condition is derived and validated by computer simulations. Moreover, the implementation complexities of the SA receiver is compared with the Adaptive Parallel Interference Cancellation (APIC) receiver.
... Since the WCDMA codes are fixed for the duration of a data block, it becomes practical to use multiuser detection, because the filter coefficients can be re-used across several symbol intervals. Also, because of the relatively large MAI, MUD becomes essential for proper interference mitigation.For most of the experiments, the spreading factor is fixed at Q = 16, however the receiver structures and grouping algorithms can also be used in multirate systems as well.This can be achieved by considering each symbol transmitted as originating from a different "virtual user" (see e.g.:[HL00]).6.1.1 Space-time channel modelIn the space-time model used in this work, each user has up to W time-differentiable paths arriving at the base station multi-antennas receiver. ...
... The adaptive weights are set taking the reliability of each sub-bit estimate into consideration. With λ (s−1) k,n [i] = 1, the adaptive multi-stage PIC receiver is the same as the conventional multi-stage PIC receiver for the multi-rate DS- CDMA system [9]–[11]. To obtain the adaptive weights, the received signal is sampled at the chip-rate. ...

An adaptive multi-stage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver is considered for a multi-rate DS-CDMA system. In each stage of the adaptive multi-stage PIC receiver, multiple access interference (MAI) estimates are obtained using the sub-bit estimates from the previous stage and the adaptive weights for the sub-bit estimates. The adaptive weights are obtained by minimizing the mean squared error between the received signal and its estimate through a least mean square (LMS) algorithm. It is shown that the adaptive multi-stage PIC receiver achieves smaller BER than the matched filter receiver, multi-stage PIC receiver, and multi-stage partial PIC receiver for the multi-rate DS-CDMA system in a Rayleigh fading channel
Conference Paper
We propose a block-based multi-rate parallel interference canceller (PIC) for the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) 3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) system. It removes effectively multiple access interference (MAI) due to multiple users with different rates through block-based cancellation. For an asynchronous channel, we propose an advance removal scheme that removes in advance MAI due to the next block of other users with shorter delays. We also propose a pipeline structure that can remove MAI due to the next block without invoking extra hardware and/or computations. Computer simulations are performed to assess the performance of the proposed structure in terms of the bit error rate (BER) and the capacity

Different modulation schemes supporting multiple data rates in a Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) system are studied. Both AWGN and multipath Rayleigh fading channels are considered. It is shown that the multi processing-gain scheme and the multi-channel scheme have almost the same performance. However, the multi-channel scheme may have some advantages due to easier code design and multiuser receiver construction. The drawback though, is the need for linear amplifiers also in mobile terminals. A multi-modulation scheme is also possible, but the performance for the users with the high data rates are significantly worse than for the other schemes. Furthermore multi chip-rate, parallel combinatory spread spectrum (PC/SS), pulse position modulation (PPM) and variable duty cycle schemes are discussed briefly.

A multiuser detection strategy for coherent demodulation in an asynchronous code-division multiple-access system is proposed and analyzed. The resulting detectors process the sufficient statistics by means of a multistage algorithm based on a scheme for annihilating successive multiple-access interference. An efficient real-time implementation of the multistage algorithm with a fixed decoding delay is obtained and shown to require a computational complexity per symbol which is linear in the number of users K . Hence, the multistage detector contrasts with the optimum demodulator, which is based on a dynamic programming algorithm, has a variable decoding delay, and has a software complexity per symbol that is exponential in K . An exact expression is obtained and used to compute the probability of error is obtained for the two-stage detector, showing that the two-stage receiver is particularly well suited for near-far situations, approaching performance of single-user communications as the interfering signals become stronger. The near-far problem is therefore alleviated. Significant performance gains over the conventional receiver are obtained even for relatively high-bandwidth-efficiency situations

This paper presents the performance of groupwise successive interference cancellation (GSIC) in a DS-CDMA system with multiple data rates (multirate). The performance is evaluated both in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. In the GSIC scheme users with the same data rate are grouped and detected, using either a matched filter or a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver, interference between the groups is cancelled in a successive order. The results show that in a multirate system the GSIC yields a better performance than the PIC receiver. Further a delay error of 0.1 Tc is found to be tolerable

This report considers a general parallel interference cancellation scheme that significantly reduces the degradation effect of user interference but with a lesser implementation complexity than the maximum-likelihood technique. The scheme operates on the fact that parallel processing simultaneously removes from each user the interference produced by the remaining users accessing the channel in an amount proportional to their reliability. The parallel processing can be done in multiple stages. The proposed scheme uses tentative decision devices with different optimum thresholds at the multiple stages to produce the most reliably received data for generation and cancellation of user interference. The 1-stage interference cancellation is analyzed for three types of tentative decision devices, namely, hard, null zone, and soft decision, and two types of user power distribution, namely, equal and unequal powers. Simulation results are given for a multitude of different situations, in particular, those cases for which the analysis is too complex.

Consider the reverse link of an asynchronous DS-CDMA system in which each user's signal is transmitted over a channel with Rayleigh fading and AWGN. For the CDMA system a new parallel interference cancellation (PIC) receiver with an adaptive decision threshold is proposed which is complete with the method to adjust the decision threshold. The decision threshold for partial cancellation is adjusted according to the statistics of its matched filter (MF) outputs. The BER of the proposed PIC receiver is obtained by simulation and compared with those of the conventional PIC and other PIC receivers in a Rayleigh fading channel. It is shown that the proposed PIC receiver achieves better performance than the conventional PIC receiver and the PIC receiver using null zone hard decision in a Rayleigh fading channel

This work is an extension of the multi-rate LMMSE detectors (Ge 1997) for asynchronous multi-rate CDMA systems. The proposed LMMSE detectors can work on dual-rate mode according to different quality-of-service (QoS) requirements and computational constraints. In using the proposed multirate LMMSE detectors, only the signature and timing information of the desired user are required. The proposed detectors can achieve better detection performance with less computation than the dual-rate decorrelating detectors. Adaptive schemes of implementing the proposed detectors can handle both synchronous and asynchronous channels as long as the signature and timing information on the desired user is available

This paper addresses the use of decorrelating detectors for a dual rate DS/CDMA system that serves both low bit rate and high bit rate users. We assume that in an interval of duration T 0, a low rate user transmits one bit while a high rate user transmits M bits. Applying a standard decorrelator to the interval of duration T 0 yields an M bit processing delay for high rate users and a computational complexity that grows with M. In this paper, we propose a decorrelator that generates bit decisions for each high rate user in every subinterval of duration T0/M. To decode a low rate user, a soft decoding rule applies maximal ratio combining on M separate decorrelated outputs of each low rate user. The soft decoding dual rate decorrelator eliminates the bit processing delay for high rate users and also reduces the computational complexity of a standard decorrelator. Further, it is shown that the asymptotic efficiency of the standard decorrelator is greater than or equal to the proposed decorrelator. By evaluation, it is observed that when the signature sequences have good correlation properties, the proposed soft decoding decorrelator is found to perform nearly as well as the standard decorrelator. However, when the signature sequences have high cross-correlation, then the proposed decorrelator suffers in terms of bit error rate while retaining the near-far resistance property.

This paper focuses on a CDMA design study for future third-generation mobile and personal communication systems such as FPLMTS and UMTS. In the design study, a rigorous top down approach is adopted starting from the most essential objectives and requirements of universal third-generation mobile systems. Emphasis is laid on high flexibility with respect to the implementation of a wide range of services and service bit rates including variable rate and packet services. Flexibility in frequency and radio resource management, system and service deployment, and easy operation in mixed-cell and multioperator scenarios are further important design goals. The system concept under investigation is centered around an open and flexible radio interface architecture based on asynchronous direct-sequence CDMA with three different chip rates of approximately 1, 5, and 20 Mchip/s. The presented CDMA system concept forms the basis for an experimental test system (testbed) which is currently under development. This experimental system concept has been jointly established by the partners in the European RACE project R2020 (CODIT). The paper describes the radio transmission scheme and appropriate receiver principles and presents first performance results based on simulations

The basis for any air interface design is how the common transmission medium is shared between users (i.e., multiple access scheme). The underlying multiple access method for all mobile radio systems is FDMA. The performance of TDMA and CDMA has been subject to vigorous debate, without any definitive conclusions. This article gives an overview of worldwide research and standardization activities related to the multiple access schemes for third-generation mobile communications systems IMT-2000 and UMTS

Direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) is a popular wireless technology. In DS-CDMA communications, all of the users' signals overlap in time and frequency and cause mutual interference. The conventional DS-CDMA detector follows a single-user detection strategy in which each user is detected separately without regard for the other users. A better strategy is multi-user detection, where information about multiple users is used to improve detection of each individual user. This article describes a number of important multiuser DS-CDMA detectors that have been proposed
