Genetically Enhanced Performance of a UTRA-like Time-Division Duplex CDMA Network

In this contribution a Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) algorithm is developed, which minimizes the amount of Multi-User Interference (MUI) experienced at the Base Stations (BSs) by employing Genetic Algorithms (GAs). A GA is utilized for finding a suboptimum, but highly beneficial Uplink (UL) or Downlink (DL) Timeslot (TS) allocation for improving the achievable performance of the third generation UTRA system’s Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode. It is demonstrated that a GA-assisted UL/DL timeslot scheduling scheme may avoid the severe BS to BS inter-cell interference potentially inflicted by the UTRA TDD CDMA air interface owing to allowing all TSs to be used both in the UL and D

Slow subcarrier-hopped Space Division Multiple Access OFDM systems

Recently Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) assisted Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) OFDM systems invoking Multi-User Detection (MUD) techniques have attracted substantial research interests, which are capable of exploiting both transmitter multiplexing gain and receiver diversity gain. Furthermore, the classic Frequency-Hopping (FH) technique can be effectively amalgamated with SDMA-OFDM systems, resulting in Frequency-Hopped (FH) SDMA-OFDM. In this paper we devise a Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (TTCM) assisted subcarrier-based FH/SDMA-OFDM scheme, which may be able to fully exploit the attainable frequency diversity, while exhibiting a high Multi-User-Interference (MUI) resistance. In the high-throughput scenario investigated, the proposed Uniform Slow-SubCarrier-Hopped (USSCH) SDMA-OFDM system was capable of achieving 6dB Eb=N0 gain at the BER of 10¡4 over the conventional SDMA-OFDM system, while maintaining a similar complexity

Quantized Constant Envelope Precoding with PSK and QAM Signaling

Coarsely quantized massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are gaining more interest due to their power efficiency. We present a new precoding technique to mitigate the Multi-User Interference (MUI) and the quantization distortions in a downlink Multi-User (MU) MIMO system with coarsely Quantized Constant Envelope (QCE) signals at the transmitter. The transmit signal vector is optimized for every desired received vector taking into account the QCE constraint. The optimization is based on maximizing the safety margin to the decision thresholds of the receiver constellation modulation. Simulation results show a significant gain in terms of the uncoded Bit Error Ratio (BER) compared to the existing linear precoding techniques

Coherent and Differential Downlink Space-Time Steering Aided Generalised Multicarrier DS-CDMA

This paper presents a generalised MultiCarrier Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) system invoking smart antennas for improving the achievable performance in the downlink. In this contribution, the MC DSCDMA transmitter employs an Antenna Array (AA) and Steered Space-Time Spreading (SSTS). Furthermore, the proposed system employs both Time and Frequency (TF) domain spreading for extending the capacity of the system, which is combined with a user-grouping technique for reducing the effects of Multi-User Interference (MUI). Moreover, to eliminate the high complexity Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channel estimation required for coherent detection, we also propose a Differential SSTS (DSSTS) scheme. More explicitly, for coherent SSTS detection MVNr number of channel estimates have to be generated, where M is the number of transmit AAs, V is the number of subcarriers and Nr is the number of receive antennas. This is a challenging task, which renders the low-complexity DSSTS scheme attractive. Index Terms—MIMO, MC DS-CDMA, beamforming, spacetime spreading, differential space-time spreading

Spectral Amplitude-Coding Optical CDMA System Using Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

[[abstract]]In this paper, we propose a family of newly constructed codes to suppress the phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) in spectral amplitude-coding (SAC) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) systems. These new codes are derived from modified prime codes and their cross-correlation is not larger than one. We also present a novel SAC-OCDMA system employing the new codes together with Mach-Zehnder interferometers to eliminate the multi-user interference (MUI). Compared with the systems employing modified quadratic congruence codes (MQC codes), numerical results verify that our proposed system can more effectively suppress the PIIN and eliminate MUI. Hence, the number of simultaneously users and total transmission rate increases significantly.[[incitationindex]]SCI[[incitationindex]]EI[[booktype]]紙本[[booktype]]電子
