Adaptive receivers for direct-spread and multi-carrier code division multiple access systems

In this thesis, the detection of Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) signals in an AWGN channel and Multi-Carrier (MC) CDMA signals in a time-dispersion channel is discussed. The DS-CDMA receiver employs an adaptive multiuser interference canceler that utilizes deadzone limiters in the tentative decision stage. With weights adjusted adaptively, the prior knowledge of signal powers is unnecessary. The steady state error performance of this receiver is obtained and found to be superior to the performance of the same receiver using hard limiters for tentative decisions. The channel is considered non-fading in. this receiver. Modeling the frequency selective channel lading as narrowband fiat-flat fading centered at each subcarrier, the MC-CDMA technique reduces the effect of channel dispersion. A decorrelating multiuser interference canceler is introduced in the MC-CDMA receiver to reduce the multi-access interference, especially when the orthogonality of signature codes is degraded by the fading channel

Performance of turbo multi-user detectors in space-time coded DS-CDMA systems

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 118-123).In this thesis we address the problem of improving the uplink capacity and the performance of a DS-CDMA system by combining MUD and turbo decoding. These two are combined following the turbo principle. Depending on the concatenation scheme used, we divide these receivers into the Partitioned Approach (PA) and the Iterative Approach (IA) receivers. To enable the iterative exchange of information, these receivers employ a Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC) detector as the first receiver stage

Multiuser Detection with Decision-Feedback Detectors and PIC in MC-CDMA System

In this paper we propose an iterative parallel decision feedback (P-DF) receivers associated with parallel interference cancellation (PIC) for multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems in a Rayleigh fading channel (cost 207). First the most widely detection techniques, minimum mean-squared error MMSE, Maximum Likelihood ML and PIC were investigated in order to compare their performances in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) with parallel feedback detection P-DFD. A MMSE DF detector that employs parallel decision-feedback (MMSE-P-DFD) is considered and shows almost the same BER performance with MMSE and ML, which present a better result than the other techniques. In a second time, an iterative proposed method based on the multi-stage techniques P-DFD (parallel DFD with two stages) and PIC was exploited to improve the performance of the system
