Interference suppression by joint demodulation of cochannel signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inter-cell cochannel interference (ICCI) is an inherent problem in all cellular systems due the necessity to reuse the same frequencies after a certain reuse distance. In GSM, the fact that the number of nearby cochannel interferers is relatively small leads to a high probability of a dominant interferer (DI). Hence, suppression of DI alone provides substantial capacity improvement for GSM. The paper summarises different aspects of interference suppression by joint demodulation of cochannel signals in the GSM system. The probability of DI is investigated by network simulations. Moreover, receiver algorithms are described and receiver performance analysis is provided. In addition, requirements that the application of the technique poses for the GSM systems are explained.

Nonlinear techniques for the joint estimation of cochannel signals
Cochannel interference occurs when two or more signals overlap in frequency and are present concurrently. Unlike in spread-spectrum multiple-access systems where the different users necessarily share the same channel, cochannel interference is a severe hindrance to frequencyand time-division multipleaccess communications, and is typically minimized by interference rejection/suppression techniqu...

It is shown that FRESH (frequency-shift) filtering prior to Viterbi demodulation in GSM basestations and/or handsets can multiply the number of cochannel signals that can be separated with M antennas by (2M-1)/(M-1): suppression of 1 interferer with one antenna, 3 interferers with a diversity antenna pair, and 2M1 interferers with M antennas. The network-level simulations reported in this paper...

The suppression of the dominant co-channel interference by joint demodulation is a potential technique to enhance the performance of the future TDMA based mobile systems. The requirements for joint demodulation are that the dominant interfering signal is identified in the receiver and reliable channel estimates are provided for both co-channel signals. In practice to meet both requirements the ...

Cochannel interference (CCI) is a major impairment in narrowband cellular systems. To increase the spectral efficiency of the narrowband systems, identical carrier frequencies are reused in distant cells. The interference rejection capability of the receiver determines this frequency reuse and is therefore critical. In this thesis, we propose an improved demodulation scheme, employing high-reso...

It is shown that multiple complementary techniques for trading BER performance for cost reduction in the Viterbi algorithm for multipleinput/multiple-output joint demodulation can be merged to obtain substantial and efficient cost reduction. Quantitative results for application to the separation of GSM cochannel signals are presented. It is shown that up to six signals can be separated at a GSM...
