Signature sequence selection for CDMA systems with multiple receiver antennas

Abstract — We consider the problem of signature sequence selection for the uplink of CDMA systems with multiple receiver antennas. We consider the sum capacity, the systemwide MSE, and the effective total squared correlation as performance metrics and formulate iterative algorithms that improve these metrics. The convergence analysis of the algorithms is given and the numerical evidence that supports the analysis is presented along with our observations related to the resulting optimum signature sets. I

Spreading sequences selection algorithm for CDMA systems considering the interference from adjacent cells

Orientador: Celso de Almeida, Rodrigo Pereira RamosDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Eletrica e de ComputaçãoResumo: O desempenho de sistemas de comunicações sem fio que utilizam técnicas de espalhamento espectral e múltiplo acesso por divisão de código (CDMA) é limitado pela interferência. Nesta dissertação, analisamos o desempenho de um algoritmo de seleção de seqüências de espalhamento de comprimento fixo, que busca a minimização dos efeitos de interferência em sistemas CDMA operando em canais com desvanecimento seletivo em freqüência e possuindo células adjacentes interferentes. Analisamos o desempenho deste sistema no qual o espalhamento espectral é feito usando duas seqüências: seqüências do usuário e seqüências identificadoras de células. Dentre as seqüências analisadas, podemos citar as Walsh, a Gold, as de comprimento máximo e também um tipo de seqüência de espalhamento baseado nas seqüências de comprimento máximoAbstract: The performance of wireless communication systems using spread spectrum techniques and code division multiple access (CDMA) is interference-limited. In this dissertation, we evaluate the performance of a selection algorithm for fixed-length spreading sequences, aimed on minimizing the interference effects in CDMA systems operating in frequency selective fading channels and having adjacent interfering cells. We check the performance of this system where the spread spectrum operation is performed using two sequences: user sequences and cell identification sequences. Among the sequences considered, we use Walsh, Gold, maximum length and a type of spreading sequence based on the maximum length classMestradoTelecomunicações e TelemáticaMestre em Engenharia Elétric

Efficient Radio Resource Allocation Schemes and Code Optimizations for High Speed Downlink Packet Access Transmission

An important enhancement on the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) air interface of the 3G mobile communications, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) standard has been launched to realize higher spectral utilization efficiency. It introduces the features of multicode CDMA transmission and Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) technique, which makes radio resource allocation feasible and essential. This thesis studies channel-aware resource allocation schemes, coupled with fast power adjustment and spreading code optimization techniques, for the HSDPA standard operating over frequency selective channel. A two-group resource allocation scheme is developed in order to achieve a promising balance between performance enhancement and time efficiency. It only requires calculating two parameters to specify the allocations of discrete bit rates and transmitted symbol energies in all channels. The thesis develops the calculation methods of the two parameters for interference-free and interference-present channels, respectively. For the interference-present channels, the performance of two-group allocation can be further enhanced by applying a clustering-based channel removal scheme. In order to make the two-group approach more time-efficient, reduction in matrix inversions in optimum energy calculation is then discussed. When the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer is applied, optimum energy allocation can be calculated by iterating a set of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. By using the MMSE Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) receiver, the optimum energies are calculated recursively combined with an optimum channel ordering scheme for enhancement in both system performance and time efficiency. This thesis then studies the signature optimization methods with multipath channel and examines their system performances when combined with different resource allocation methods. Two multipath-aware signature optimization methods are developed by applying iterative optimization techniques, for the system using MMSE equalizer and MMSE precoder respectively. A PAM system using complex signature sequences is also examined for improving resource utilization efficiency, where two receiving schemes are proposed to fully take advantage of PAM features. In addition by applying a short chip sampling window, a Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) based interference-free signature design method is presented
