    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). This thesis presents an investigation on design of fuzzy based receivers for DS-CDMA system. Fuzzy based receiver has been proposed to work as chip level based (CLB) receivers and also multi user detection (MUD) receivers. It is seen that fuzzy receiver is capable of providing performance close to optimal radial basis function (RBF) receivers and provide considerable computational complexity reduction. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate the performance of the fuzzy receivers and the performance have been compared with RAKE receiver, matched filter (MF) receiver, minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver and RBF receiver

    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

    Soft-in soft-output detection in the presence of parametric uncertainty via the Bayesian EM algorithm

    Get PDF
    We investigate the application of the Bayesian expectation-maximization (BEM) technique to the design of soft-in soft-out (SISO) detection algorithms for wireless communication systems operating over channels affected by parametric uncertainty. First, the BEM algorithm is described in detail and its relationship with the well-known expectation-maximization (EM) technique is explained. Then, some of its applications are illustrated. In particular, the problems of SISO detection of spread spectrum, single-carrier and multicarrier space-time block coded signals are analyzed. Numerical results show that BEM-based detectors perform closely to the maximum likelihood (ML) receivers endowed with perfect channel state information as long as channel variations are not too fast

    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

    Adaptive power control in CDMA cellular communication systems

    Get PDF
    Power control is an essential radio resource management method in CDMA cellular communication systems, where co-channel interference is the primary capacity-limiting factor. Power control aims to control the transmission power levels in such a way that acceptable quality of service for the users is guaranteed with lowest possible transmission powers. All users benefit from the minimized interference and the preserved signal qualities. In this thesis new closed loop power control algorithms for CDMA cellular communication systems are proposed. To cope with the random changes of the radio channel and interference, adaptive algorithms are considered that utilize ideas from self-tuning control systems. The inherent loop delay associated with closed loop power control can be included in the design process, and thus alleviated with the proposed methods. Another problem in closed-loop power control is that extensive control signaling consumes radio resources, and thus the control feedback bandwidth must be limited. A new approach to enhance the performance of closed-loop power control in limited-feedback-case is presented, and power control algorithms based on the new approach are proposed. The performances of the proposed algorithms are evaluated through both analysis and computer simulations, and compared with well-known algorithms from the literature. The results indicate that significant performance improvements are achievable with the proposed algorithms.reviewe
