    Mestrado em Engenharia Eletrónica e TelecomunicaçõesTo achieve high bit rates, needed to meet the quality of service requirements of future multimedia applications, multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) has been considered as a candidate air-interface. Interference alignment (IA) is a promising technique that allows high capacity gains in interfering channels. On the other hand, iterative block decision feedback equalization (IB-DFE) based receivers can efficiently exploit the inherent space-frequency diversity of the MIMO MC-CDMA systems. In this thesis we proposed an IA precoding at the transmitter with IB-DFE based processing at the receiver for MC-CDMA systems. The IA precoding is applied at chip level instead of the data symbols level, as in the conventional IA based systems. The receiver is designed in two steps: first the equalizers based on zero forcing (ZF) or minimum mean square error (MMSE) are used to remove the aligned users´ interference. Then and after a whitening noise process, an IB-DFE based equalizer is designed to remove both the residual inter-user aligned and inter-carrier interferences. The results have shown that the obtained performance is very close to the one obtained by the optimal matched filter, with few iterations at the receiver side.Para atingir maiores ritmos de transmissão, as futures aplicações multimédia necessitam de atingir a qualidade de serviço necessária. Para isso, o multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) tem sido apontado como um forte candidato para interface ar dos futuros sistemas celulares. O Interference Alignment (IA) ou alinhamento de interferência é uma técnica promissora que permite ter altos ganhos de capacidade em canais com interferência. Por outro lado, temos receptores baseados no conceito iterative block decision feedback equalization(IB-DFE) que conseguem tirar partido, de uma forma eficiente, da inerente diversidade espaço-frequência dos sistemas MIMO MC-CDMA. Nesta dissertação é implementada uma pré-codificação baseada no conceito de IA considerando três transmissores (ou estações base) juntamente, com um processamento IB-DFE no receptor para sistemas MC-CDMA.A pré-codificação é aplicada ao nível de chip em vez de ser aplicado ao nível dos dados. O receptor é projectado em dois passos: em primeiro lugar equalizadores baseados em ZF ou em MMSE são utilizados para remover a interferência alinhada dos restantes utilizadores. De seguida, e após aplicar um processo de branqueamento do ruído ao sinal à saída do primeiro equalizador, um segundo equalizador baseado em IB-DFE é projectado para remover a interferência inter-utilizador residual e também a interferência residual entre portadoras. Os resultados obtidos mostraram-se satisfatórios na remoção da interferência obtendo-se um desempenho muito próximo do obtido considerando um filtro adaptado

    Cíl disertační práce leží v oblasti modelování a vyhodnocení bezdrátových komunikačních systémů s dvojrozměrným rozprostíráním signálu a jejich klíčových parametrů v závislosti na vybraných vlastnostech moderního bezdrátového komunikačního řetězce. Výzkumné metody použité v této práci spočívají především ve vývoji softwarového simulátoru pro prostředí Matlab, s jehož pomocí, a s využitím statistického přístupu, jsou navržené algoritmy ověřeny. Dále je použit simulátor fyzické vrstvy dle 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE), vyvinutý na Technické univerzitě ve Vídni. Tento představuje ideální platformu pro implementaci metody dvojrozměrného (2D) rozprostírání a její vyhodnocení s přihlédnutím k současným bezdrátovým komunikačním systémům. Zjištění prezentovaná v této práci představují především ověření účinnosti systému nazvaného jako Variable Spreading Factor - Orthogonal Code Frequency Division Multiplex (VSF-OFCDM), který využívá principu 2D rozprostírání signálu a zjištění, že VSF-OFCDM systém překonává systémy využívající Orthogonal Division Frequency Multiplex (OFDM), nebo Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Dále byla navržena metoda 2D rozprostírání signálu v systému LTE, kde se též potvrdila její účinnost. Díky účinnějšímu potlačení vlivu rychlé variace přenosového kanálu v závislosti na frekvenci a čase, dosahuje systém VSF-OFCDM znatelně vyšší datové prostupnosti.The focus of this research is in the area of modeling and evaluating of the wireless systems with two dimensional signal spreading, it’s key parameters and dependencies on other features in modern wireless communication chain. The research method adopted in this dissertation includes a development of Matlab based simulators which exploits a statistical approach to show a contribution of proposed algorithms. Furthermore, a model of physical layer of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP LTE), developed by the Vienna University of Technology, was utilized as a simulation environment suitable for implementation of a two dimensional (2D) signal spreading method and its evaluation as well as comparison of achieved results with the state-of-the-art systems. The findings from this research provide evidence that the Variable Spreading Factor - Orthogonal Code Frequency Division Multiplex (hereafter VSF-OFCDM) employing a 2D spreading is a promising wireless access scheme superior to Orthogonal Division Frequency Multiplex (OFDM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and is capable to significantly increase the data rates in wireless transmission due to the capability of such system to effectively cope with fast time and frequency fluctuations in the wireless transmission channel.

    This paper proposes a statistical model for the total multiple access interference (MAI) power for both Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) and Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) systems. We consider the use of both Walsh-Hadamard (WH) and Gold spreading codes transmitting over the asynchronous uplink channel. Detailed signal models of both CDMA systems are derived illustrating the production of MAI under asynchronous conditions. The paper demonstrates the Gaussian nature of the total MAI and shows that the probability density function (pdf) of the total MAI power can be very accurately characterized by the Nakagami-m distribution

    For Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) systems, resource allocation between several users within a piconet and the coexistence of several piconets are very important points to take into consideration for the optimization of high data rate Ultra Wide Band (UWB) systems. To improve the performance of the Multi-Band OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) solution proposed by the Multi-Band OFDM Alliance (MBOA), the addition of a spreading component in the frequency domain is a good solution since it makes resource allocation easier and also offers better robustness against channel frequency selectivity and narrowband interference. The Spread Spectrum - Multi-Carrier - Multiple Access (SS-MC-MA) system proposed in this article offers not only the advantages of Multi-Carrier - Coded Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) brought by frequency spreading, but also a more effective dynamic resource allocation in a multi-user and multi-piconet context. These improvements are obtained without increasing the complexity of the radio-frequency part compared to the classical MBOA solution

    The demand for higher and higher capacity in wireless networks, such as cellular, mobile and local area network etc, is driving the development of new signaling techniques with improved spectral and power efficiencies. At all stages of a transceiver, from the bandwidth efficiency of the modulation schemes through highly nonlinear power amplifier of the transmitters to the channel sharing between different users, the problems relating to power usage and spectrum are aplenty. In the coming future, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology promises to be a ready solution to achieving the high data capacity and better spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems by virtue of its well-known and desirable characteristics. Towards these ends, this dissertation investigates a novel OFDM system based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform (D

    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
