Multiple-Symbol Differential Sphere Detection Aided Successive Relaying in the Cooperative DS-CDMA Uplink
The conventional amplify-and-forward cooperative system is capable of achieving a superior performance with the aid of Multiple-Symbol Differential Sphere Detection (MSDSD), when compared to conventional differential detection (CDD) for transmission over time-selective channels. However, the conventional broadcast/cooperative twin-phase based relaying protocol encounters a 50% throughput loss imposed by half-duplex relaying. For combating this problem, in this paper, we create a MSDSD aided successive relaying based cooperative DS-CDMA system. We demonstrate that given the target BER of 10?4 , a diversity gain of up to 10 dB is achieved over the benchmark schemes employed without a throughput loss
High Capacity CDMA and Collaborative Techniques
The thesis investigates new approaches to increase the user capacity and improve the error
performance of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) by employing adaptive interference cancellation
and collaborative spreading and space diversity techniques. Collaborative Coding Multiple
Access (CCMA) is also investigated as a separate technique and combined with CDMA. The
advantages and shortcomings of CDMA and CCMA are analysed and new techniques for both the
uplink and downlink are proposed and evaluated.
Multiple access interference (MAI) problem in the uplink of CDMA is investigated first. The
practical issues of multiuser detection (MUD) techniques are reviewed and a novel blind adaptive
approach to interference cancellation (IC) is proposed. It exploits the constant modulus (CM)
property of digital signals to blindly suppress interference during the despreading process and obtain
amplitude estimation with minimum mean squared error for use in cancellation stages. Two
new blind adaptive receiver designs employing successive and parallel interference cancellation
architectures using the CM algorithm (CMA) referred to as ‘CMA-SIC’ and ‘BA-PIC’, respectively,
are presented. These techniques have shown to offer near single user performance for large
number of users. It is shown to increase the user capacity by approximately two fold compared
with conventional IC receivers. The spectral efficiency analysis of the techniques based on output
signal-to interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) also shows significant gain in data rate. Furthermore,
an effective and low complexity blind adaptive subcarrier combining (BASC) technique using a
simple gradient descent based algorithm is proposed for Multicarrier-CDMA. It suppresses MAI
without any knowledge of channel amplitudes and allows large number of users compared with
equal gain and maximum ratio combining techniques normally used in practice.
New user collaborative schemes are proposed and analysed theoretically and by simulations
in different channel conditions to achieve spatial diversity for uplink of CCMA and CDMA. First,
a simple transmitter diversity and its equivalent user collaborative diversity techniques for CCMA
are designed and analysed. Next, a new user collaborative scheme with successive interference
cancellation for uplink of CDMA referred to as collaborative SIC (C-SIC) is investigated to reduce
MAI and achieve improved diversity. To further improve the performance of C-SIC under high
system loading conditions, Collaborative Blind Adaptive SIC (C-BASIC) scheme is proposed.
It is shown to minimize the residual MAI, leading to improved user capacity and a more robust
system. It is known that collaborative diversity schemes incur loss in throughput due to the need of
orthogonal time/frequency slots for relaying source’s data. To address this problem, finally a novel
near-unity-rate scheme also referred to as bandwidth efficient collaborative diversity (BECD) is proposed and evaluated for CDMA. Under this scheme, pairs of users share a single spreading sequence to exchange and forward their data employing a simple superposition or space-time
encoding methods. At the receiver collaborative joint detection is performed to separate each
paired users’ data. It is shown that the scheme can achieve full diversity gain at no extra bandwidth
as inter-user channel SNR becomes high.
A novel approach of ‘User Collaboration’ is introduced to increase the user capacity of CDMA
for both the downlink and uplink. First, collaborative group spreading technique for the downlink
of overloaded CDMA system is introduced. It allows the sharing of the same single spreading
sequence for more than one user belonging to the same group. This technique is referred to as
Collaborative Spreading CDMA downlink (CS-CDMA-DL). In this technique T-user collaborative
coding is used for each group to form a composite codeword signal of the users and then a
single orthogonal sequence is used for the group. At each user’s receiver, decoding of composite
codeword is carried out to extract the user’s own information while maintaining a high SINR performance.
To improve the bit error performance of CS-CDMA-DL in Rayleigh fading conditions,
Collaborative Space-time Spreading (C-STS) technique is proposed by combining the collaborative
coding multiple access and space-time coding principles. A new scheme for uplink of CDMA
using the ‘User Collaboration’ approach, referred to as CS-CDMA-UL is presented next. When
users’ channels are independent (uncorrelated), significantly higher user capacity can be achieved
by grouping multiple users to share the same spreading sequence and performing MUD on per
group basis followed by a low complexity ML decoding at the receiver. This approach has shown
to support much higher number of users than the available sequences while also maintaining the
low receiver complexity. For improved performance under highly correlated channel conditions,
T-user collaborative coding is also investigated within the CS-CDMA-UL system
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
On the Fundamental Limits of Random Non-orthogonal Multiple Access in Cellular Massive IoT
Machine-to-machine (M2M) constitutes the communication paradigm at the basis
of Internet of Things (IoT) vision. M2M solutions allow billions of multi-role
devices to communicate with each other or with the underlying data transport
infrastructure without, or with minimal, human intervention. Current solutions
for wireless transmissions originally designed for human-based applications
thus require a substantial shift to cope with the capacity issues in managing a
huge amount of M2M devices. In this paper, we consider the multiple access
techniques as promising solutions to support a large number of devices in
cellular systems with limited radio resources. We focus on non-orthogonal
multiple access (NOMA) where, with the aim to increase the channel efficiency,
the devices share the same radio resources for their data transmission. This
has been shown to provide optimal throughput from an information theoretic
point of view.We consider a realistic system model and characterise the system
performance in terms of throughput and energy efficiency in a NOMA scenario
with a random packet arrival model, where we also derive the stability
condition for the system to guarantee the performance.Comment: To appear in IEEE JSAC Special Issue on Non-Orthogonal Multiple

Carrier Sense Random Packet CDMA Protocol in Dual-Channel Networks
Code resource wastage is caused by the reason that many hopping frequency (FH) sequences are unused, which occurs under the condition that the number of the actual subnets needed for the tactical network is far smaller than the networking capacity of code division net¬working. Dual-channel network (DCN), consisting of one single control channel and multiple data channels, can solve the code resource wastage effectively. To improve the anti-jamming capability of the control channel of DCN, code division multiple access (CDMA) technology was introduced, and a carrier sense random packet (CSRP) CDMA protocol based on random packet CDMA (RP-CDMA) was proposed. In CSRP-CDMA, we provide a carrier sensing random packet mechanism and a packet-segment acknowledgement policy. Furthermore, an analytical model was developed to evaluate the performance of CSRP-CDMA networks. In this model, the impacts of multi-access interference from both inter-clusters and intra-clusters were analyzed, and the mathematical expressions of packet transmission success probability, normalized network throughput and signal interference to noise ratio, were also derived. Analytical and simulation results demonstrate that the normalized network throughput of CSRP-CDMA outperforms traditional RP-CDMA by 10%, which can guarantee the resource utilization efficiency of the control channel in DCNs
