Multi-User Multi-Carrier Differential Chaos Shift Keying Communication System
In this paper, a multi user Multi-Carrier Differential Chaos Shift Keying
(MC-DCSK) modulation is presented. The system endeavors to provide a good
trade-off between robustness, energy efficiency and high data rate, while still
being simple. In this architecture of MC-DCSK system, for each user, chaotic
reference sequence is transmitted over a predefined subcarrier frequency.
Multiple modulated data streams are transmitted over the remaining subcarriers
allocated for each user. This transmitter structure saves energy and increases
the spectral efficiency of the conventional DCSK system.Comment: Accepted in the IEEE International Wireless Communications and Mobile

Implementable Wireless Access for B3G Networks - III: Complexity Reducing Transceiver Structures
This article presents a comprehensive overview of some of the research conducted within Mobile VCEβs Core Wireless Access Research Programme,1 a key focus of which has naturally been on MIMO transceivers. The series of articles offers a coherent view of how the work was structured and comprises a compilation of material that has been presented in detail elsewhere (see references within the article). In this article MIMO channel measurements, analysis, and modeling, which were presented previously in the first article in this series of four, are utilized to develop compact and distributed antenna arrays. Parallel activities led to research into low-complexity MIMO single-user spacetime coding techniques, as well as SISO and MIMO multi-user CDMA-based transceivers for B3G systems. As well as feeding into the industryβs in-house research program, significant extensions of this work are now in hand, within Mobile VCEβs own core activity, aiming toward securing major improvements in delivery efficiency in future wireless systems through crosslayer operation
Performance Analysis of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Multi-Carrier Code-Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) Combined with Quasi-Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding (QO-STBC) in Rayleigh Fading Channel
The need for a communication system with a higher data rate and mobility grows along with information and communication technology development. Combining MC-CDMA with the MIMO system and supporting the system with a good transmit diversity technique is a promising idea to provide the needed communication system, especially in high mobility conditions. MC-CDMA can support ubiquitous communications without affecting the achievable BER and is more capable of high-speed mobility. It integrates the benefit of both OFDM and CDMA. On the other hand, QO-STBC increases the bit rate without using additional bandwidth to transmit diversity in the MIMO system. So, this study proposed a system combining the MIMO MC-CDMA system with QO-STBC. The proposed system is investigated under high mobility conditions to see the system's performance. The simulation results show that our system performs better than the MC-CDMA STBC system and the QOSTBC system but not better than the MC-CDMA multilevel coding scheme. To reach the value of BER 10β3, MC-CDMA multilevel Coding requires less power, around 5 dB, than the proposed system
High Capacity CDMA and Collaborative Techniques
The thesis investigates new approaches to increase the user capacity and improve the error
performance of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) by employing adaptive interference cancellation
and collaborative spreading and space diversity techniques. Collaborative Coding Multiple
Access (CCMA) is also investigated as a separate technique and combined with CDMA. The
advantages and shortcomings of CDMA and CCMA are analysed and new techniques for both the
uplink and downlink are proposed and evaluated.
Multiple access interference (MAI) problem in the uplink of CDMA is investigated first. The
practical issues of multiuser detection (MUD) techniques are reviewed and a novel blind adaptive
approach to interference cancellation (IC) is proposed. It exploits the constant modulus (CM)
property of digital signals to blindly suppress interference during the despreading process and obtain
amplitude estimation with minimum mean squared error for use in cancellation stages. Two
new blind adaptive receiver designs employing successive and parallel interference cancellation
architectures using the CM algorithm (CMA) referred to as βCMA-SICβ and βBA-PICβ, respectively,
are presented. These techniques have shown to offer near single user performance for large
number of users. It is shown to increase the user capacity by approximately two fold compared
with conventional IC receivers. The spectral efficiency analysis of the techniques based on output
signal-to interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) also shows significant gain in data rate. Furthermore,
an effective and low complexity blind adaptive subcarrier combining (BASC) technique using a
simple gradient descent based algorithm is proposed for Multicarrier-CDMA. It suppresses MAI
without any knowledge of channel amplitudes and allows large number of users compared with
equal gain and maximum ratio combining techniques normally used in practice.
New user collaborative schemes are proposed and analysed theoretically and by simulations
in different channel conditions to achieve spatial diversity for uplink of CCMA and CDMA. First,
a simple transmitter diversity and its equivalent user collaborative diversity techniques for CCMA
are designed and analysed. Next, a new user collaborative scheme with successive interference
cancellation for uplink of CDMA referred to as collaborative SIC (C-SIC) is investigated to reduce
MAI and achieve improved diversity. To further improve the performance of C-SIC under high
system loading conditions, Collaborative Blind Adaptive SIC (C-BASIC) scheme is proposed.
It is shown to minimize the residual MAI, leading to improved user capacity and a more robust
system. It is known that collaborative diversity schemes incur loss in throughput due to the need of
orthogonal time/frequency slots for relaying sourceβs data. To address this problem, finally a novel
near-unity-rate scheme also referred to as bandwidth efficient collaborative diversity (BECD) is proposed and evaluated for CDMA. Under this scheme, pairs of users share a single spreading sequence to exchange and forward their data employing a simple superposition or space-time
encoding methods. At the receiver collaborative joint detection is performed to separate each
paired usersβ data. It is shown that the scheme can achieve full diversity gain at no extra bandwidth
as inter-user channel SNR becomes high.
A novel approach of βUser Collaborationβ is introduced to increase the user capacity of CDMA
for both the downlink and uplink. First, collaborative group spreading technique for the downlink
of overloaded CDMA system is introduced. It allows the sharing of the same single spreading
sequence for more than one user belonging to the same group. This technique is referred to as
Collaborative Spreading CDMA downlink (CS-CDMA-DL). In this technique T-user collaborative
coding is used for each group to form a composite codeword signal of the users and then a
single orthogonal sequence is used for the group. At each userβs receiver, decoding of composite
codeword is carried out to extract the userβs own information while maintaining a high SINR performance.
To improve the bit error performance of CS-CDMA-DL in Rayleigh fading conditions,
Collaborative Space-time Spreading (C-STS) technique is proposed by combining the collaborative
coding multiple access and space-time coding principles. A new scheme for uplink of CDMA
using the βUser Collaborationβ approach, referred to as CS-CDMA-UL is presented next. When
usersβ channels are independent (uncorrelated), significantly higher user capacity can be achieved
by grouping multiple users to share the same spreading sequence and performing MUD on per
group basis followed by a low complexity ML decoding at the receiver. This approach has shown
to support much higher number of users than the available sequences while also maintaining the
low receiver complexity. For improved performance under highly correlated channel conditions,
T-user collaborative coding is also investigated within the CS-CDMA-UL system

Near-Instantaneously Adaptive HSDPA-Style OFDM Versus MC-CDMA Transceivers for WIFI, WIMAX, and Next-Generation Cellular Systems
Burts-by-burst (BbB) adaptive high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) style multicarrier systems are reviewed, identifying their most critical design aspects. These systems exhibit numerous attractive features, rendering them eminently eligible for employment in next-generation wireless systems. It is argued that BbB-adaptive or symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) modems counteract the near instantaneous channel quality variations and hence attain an increased throughput or robustness in comparison to their fixed-mode counterparts. Although they act quite differently, various diversity techniques, such as Rake receivers and space-time block coding (STBC) are also capable of mitigating the channel quality variations in their effort to reduce the bit error ratio (BER), provided that the individual antenna elements experience independent fading. By contrast, in the presence of correlated fading imposed by shadowing or time-variant multiuser interference, the benefits of space-time coding erode and it is unrealistic to expect that a fixed-mode space-time coded system remains capable of maintaining a near-constant BER
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 stationβs or radio portβs 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
