Multiuser MIMO-OFDM for Next-Generation Wireless Systems

This overview portrays the 40-year evolution of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) research. The amelioration of powerful multicarrier OFDM arrangements with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has numerous benefits, which are detailed in this treatise. We continue by highlighting the limitations of conventional detection and channel estimation techniques designed for multiuser MIMO OFDM systems in the so-called rank-deficient scenarios, where the number of users supported or the number of transmit antennas employed exceeds the number of receiver antennas. This is often encountered in practice, unless we limit the number of users granted access in the base station’s or radio port’s coverage area. Following a historical perspective on the associated design problems and their state-of-the-art solutions, the second half of this treatise details a range of classic multiuser detectors (MUDs) designed for MIMO-OFDM systems and characterizes their achievable performance. A further section aims for identifying novel cutting-edge genetic algorithm (GA)-aided detector solutions, which have found numerous applications in wireless communications in recent years. In an effort to stimulate the cross pollination of ideas across the machine learning, optimization, signal processing, and wireless communications research communities, we will review the broadly applicable principles of various GA-assisted optimization techniques, which were recently proposed also for employment inmultiuser MIMO OFDM. In order to stimulate new research, we demonstrate that the family of GA-aided MUDs is capable of achieving a near-optimum performance at the cost of a significantly lower computational complexity than that imposed by their optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) MUD aided counterparts. The paper is concluded by outlining a range of future research options that may find their way into next-generation wireless systems

Independent component analysis applications in CDMA systems

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Izmir, 2004Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 56)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxi, 96 leavesBlind source separation (BSS) methods, independent component analysis (ICA) and independent factor analysis (IFA) are used for detecting the signal coming to a mobile user which is subject to multiple access interference in a CDMA downlink communication. When CDMA models are studied for different channel characteristics, it is seen that they are similar with BSS/ICA models. It is also showed that if ICA is applied to these CDMA models, desired user.s signal can be estimated successfully without channel information and other users. code sequences. ICA detector is compared with matched filter detector and other conventional detectors using simulation results and it is seen that ICA has some advantages over the other methods.The other BSS method, IFA is applied to basic CDMA downlink model. Since IFA has some convergence and speed problems when the number of sources is large, firstly basic CDMA model with ideal channel assumption is used in IFA application.With simulation of ideal CDMA channel, IFA is compared with ICA and matched filter.Furthermore, Pearson System-based ICA (PS-ICA) method is used forestimating non-Gaussian multipath fading channel coefficients. Considering some fading channel measurements showing that the fading channel coefficients may have an impulsive nature, these coefficients are modeled with an -stable distribution whose shape parameter takes values close to 2 which makes the distributions slightly impulsive. Simulation results are obtained to compare PS-ICA with classical ICA.Also IFA is applied to the single path CDMA downlink model to estimate fading channel by using the advantage of IFA which is the capability to estimate sources with wide class of distributions

Performance Evaluation of DS-CDMA Receivers Using Genetic Algorithm

Direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) technique is used in cellular systems where users in the cell are separated from each other with their unique spreading codes. In recent times DS-CDMA has been used extensively. These systems suffers from multiple access interference (MAI) due to other users transmitting in the cell, channel inter symbol interference (ISI) due to multipath nature of channels in presence of additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN). Spreading codes play an important role in multiple access capacity of DS-CDMA system. M-sequences, gold sequences etc., has been traditionally used as spreading codes in DS-CDMA. These sequences are generated by shift registers and periodic in nature. So these sequences are less in number and also limits the security. This thesis presents an investigation on use of new type of DS CDMA receiver called Genetic Algorithm based DS-CDMA receiver. Genetic Algorithm is robust optimization technique and does not fall into local minima hence this gives better weight optimization of any system. This Thesis investigates the performance of GA based DS-CDMA communication using gold code sequences. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the different linear and nonlinear DS-CDMA receivers like RAKE receiver, matched filter (MF) receiver, minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver using gold sequences and the performance have been compared with GA based receiver

This thesis presents an investigation on use of new type of sequences called chaotic sequences for DS-CDMA system. These sequences are generated by chaotic maps. First of all, chaotic sequences are easy to generate and store. Only a few parameters and functions are needed even for very long sequences. In addition, an enormous number of different sequences can be generated simply by changing its initial condition. . Chaotic sequences are deterministic, reproducible, uncorrelated and random-like, which can be very helpful in enhancing the security of transmission in communication. This Thesis investigates the performance of chaotic sequences in DS-CDMA communication systems using various receiver techniques. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the different linear and nonlinear DS-CDMA receivers like RAKE receiver, matched filter (MF) receiver, minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver and Volterra receiver using chaotic sequences and the performance have been compared with gold sequences
