Impact of Channel Estimation Errors on Multiuser Detection via the Replica Method
For practical wireless DS-CDMA systems, channel estimation is imperfect due
to noise and interference. In this paper, the impact of channel estimation
errors on multiuser detection (MUD) is analyzed under the framework of the
replica method. System performance is obtained in the large system limit for
optimal MUD, linear MUD and turbo MUD, and is validated by numerical results
for finite systems.Comment: To appear in the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communication and

Minimum mean-squared error iterative successive parallel arbitrated decision feedback detectors for DS-CDMA systems
In this paper we propose minimum mean squared error (MMSE) iterative successive parallel arbitrated decision feedback (DF) receivers for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. We describe the MMSE design criterion for DF multiuser detectors along with successive, parallel and iterative interference cancellation structures. A novel efficient DF structure that employs successive cancellation with parallel arbitrated branches and a near-optimal low complexity user ordering algorithm are presented. The proposed DF receiver structure and the ordering algorithm are then combined with iterative cascaded DF stages for mitigating the deleterious effects of error propagation for convolutionally encoded systems with both Viterbi and turbo decoding as well as for uncoded schemes. We mathematically study the relations between the MMSE achieved by the analyzed DF structures, including the novel scheme, with imperfect and perfect feedback. Simulation results for an uplink scenario assess the new iterative DF detectors against linear receivers and evaluate the effects of error propagation of the new cancellation methods against existing ones
Hybrid Iterative Multiuser Detection for Channel Coded Space Division Multiple Access OFDM Systems
Space division multiple access (SDMA) aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems assisted by efficient multiuser detection (MUD) techniques have recently attracted intensive research interests. The maximum likelihood detection (MLD) arrangement was found to attain the best performance, although this was achieved at the cost of a computational complexity, which increases exponentially both with the number of users and with the number of bits per symbol transmitted by higher order modulation schemes. By contrast, the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) SDMA-MUD exhibits a lower complexity at the cost of a performance loss. Forward error correction (FEC) schemes such as, for example, turbo trellis coded modulation (TTCM), may be efficiently combined with SDMA-OFDM systems for the sake of improving the achievable performance. Genetic algorithm (GA) based multiuser detection techniques have been shown to provide a good performance in MUD-aided code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. In this contribution, a GA-aided MMSE MUD is proposed for employment in a TTCM assisted SDMA-OFDM system, which is capable of achieving a similar performance to that attained by its optimum MLD-aided counterpart at a significantly lower complexity, especially at high user loads. Moreover, when the proposed biased Q-function based mutation (BQM) assisted iterative GA (IGA) MUD is employed, the GA-aided systemâs performance can be further improved, for example, by reducing the bit error ratio (BER) measured at 3 dB by about five orders of magnitude in comparison to the TTCM assisted MMSE-SDMA-OFDM benchmarker system, while still maintaining modest complexity
MIMO CDMA-based Optical SATCOMs: A New Solution
A new scheme for MIMO CDMA-based optical satellite communications (OSATCOMs)
is presented. Three independent problems are described for up-link and down-
link in terms of two distinguished optimization problems. At first, in up-link,
Pulse-width optimization is proposed to reduce dispersions over fibers as the
terrestrial part. This is performed for return-to-zero (RZ) modulation that is
supposed to be used as an example in here. This is carried out by solving the
first optimization problem, while minimizing the probability of overlapping for
the Gaussian pulses that are used to produce RZ. Some constraints are assumed
such as a threshold for the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In down-link,
the second and the third problems are discussed as follows, jointly as a
closed-form solution. Solving the second optimization problem, an objective
function is obtained, namely the MIMO CDMA-based satellite weight-matrix as a
conventional adaptive beam-former. The Satellite link is stablished over flat
un-correlated Nakagami-m/Suzuki fading channels as the second problem. On the
other hand, the mentioned optimization problem is robustly solved as the third
important problem, while considering inter-cell interferences in the multi-cell
scenario. Robust solution is performed due to the partial knowledge of each
cell from the others in which the link capacity is maximized. Analytical
results are conducted to investigate the merit of system.Comment: IEEE PCITC 2015 (15-17 Oct, India
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
