The Construction and Performance of a Novel Intergroup Complementary Code

 On the basis of the analyses for intergroup complementary (IGC) code and zero correlation zone complementary code, a novel IGC code has been proposed to adapt M-ary orthogonal code spreading spectrum system or quasi-synchronous CDMA system. The definition and construction methods of the new IGC codes are presented and an applied example is given in this paper. Theoretical research and simulation results show that the main advantages of the novel IGC code are as following: The code sets of the novel IGC code is more than IGC code under the same code length. The zero correlation zone length is longer than the intergroup IGC code, but shorter than the intergroup IGC code. Under the same code length, the auto-correlation performance of the novel IGC code is better than that of the IGC code, and both are of similar cross-correlation performance

A Systematic Framework for the Construction of Optimal Complete Complementary Codes

The complete complementary code (CCC) is a sequence family with ideal correlation sums which was proposed by Suehiro and Hatori. Numerous literatures show its applications to direct-spread code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems for inter-channel interference (ICI)-free communication with improved spectral efficiency. In this paper, we propose a systematic framework for the construction of CCCs based on $N$-shift cross-orthogonal sequence families ($N$-CO-SFs). We show theoretical bounds on the size of $N$-CO-SFs and CCCs, and give a set of four algorithms for their generation and extension. The algorithms are optimal in the sense that the size of resulted sequence families achieves theoretical bounds and, with the algorithms, we can construct an optimal CCC consisting of sequences whose lengths are not only almost arbitrary but even variable between sequence families. We also discuss the family size, alphabet size, and lengths of constructible CCCs based on the proposed algorithms

Detecção multiutilizador do domínio da frequência para sistemas DS-CDMA

Doutoramento em Engenharia ElectrotécnicaOs Sinais de Espalhamento de Espectro de Sequência Directa exibem propriedades cicloestacionárias que implicam redundância entre componentes de frequência espaçadas por múltiplos da taxa de símbolo. Nesta tese, é apresentado um cancelador de interferência multiutilizador (Cancelador por translação na frequência - FSC) que tira partido desta propriedade. Este cancelador linear opera no domínio da frequência no sinal espalhado de tal forma que minimiza a interferência e ruído na saída (Critério do Mínimo Erro Quadrado Médio). Além de testado para o caso de antena única, são avaliadas as performances das configurações de antenas múltiplas para o caso de beamforming e canais espacialmente descorrelacionados considerando sistemas síncronos e sistemas com desalinhamento no tempo dos perfis de canais (ambos UMTS-TDD). Essas configurações divergiam na ordem da combinação temporal, combinação espacial e detecção multiutilizador. As configurações FSC foram avaliadas quando concatenadas com o PIC-2D. Os resultados das simulações mostram consideráveis melhorias nos resultados relativamente ao RAKE-2D convencional e PIC-2D. Foi atingida performance próximo ao RAKE de utilizador único quando o FSC foi avaliado concatenado com PIC-2D em quase todas as configurações. Todas as configurações foram avaliadas com modulação QPSK, 8-PSK e 16-QAM. Foi introduzida codificação Turbo e identificou-se as situações da vantagem de utilização do FSC antes do PIC-2D. As modulações 8-PSK e 16-QAM foram igualmente testadas com codificação.Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum signals exhibit cyclostationary properties which imply redundancy between frequency components separated by multiples of the symbol rate. In this thesis a Multiple Access Interference Canceller (Frequency Shift Canceller - FSC) that explores this property is presented. The linear frequency domain canceller operates on the spreaded signal so as to minimize the interference and noise at the output (Minimum Mean Squared Error Criterium). Moreover the FSC was tested with single antenna, the performance of multisensor configurations for the cases of beamforming and uncorrelated spatial channels was evaluated considering both synchronous and time misalignment systems (both UMTS-TDD). Those configurations diverge in temporal combining, spatial combining and multiuser detection order. The FSC configurations were concatenated with PIC-2D structure and evaluated. The simulation results show considerable improvement relative to the conventional RAKE-2D and PIC-2D receiver. A performance close to the single user RAKE case was a achieved when it (FSC) was evaluated jointly with PIC-2D. All the configurations with modulation QPSK, 8-PSK and 16-QAM were evaluated. Turbo Codes were introduced and it was identified the situations which it is advantageous to use the FSC before the PIC-2D. The 8-PSK and 16-QAM modulations were equally tested with coding
