Linear and Nonlinear Multi-User Detection in Coded OFDM-CDMA Systems

چکیده
This paper analyzes the performance of linear and nonlinear multi-user detection (MUD) for an asynchronous OFDM-CDMA uplink transmission. Specifically, we regard linear MUD techniques such as the decorrelator and the MMSE approach as well as the nonlinear parallel interference cancellation (PIC) and their combination. It is pointed out that OFDM-CDMA systems offer a great advantage over single carrier systems due to flat fading conditions on each subcarrier leading to much lower implementation costs of MUD techniques. Assuming perfectly known channel impulse responses for each user and a rough synchronization it turns out that solely linear interference cancellation is not able to reach the performance of a single user system. The nonlinear parallel interference cancellation is able to totally remove the interference even for a spectral efficiency that equals that of TDMA and FDMA systems. Furthermore, the combination of linear MMSE equalization and PIC shows excellent performance even for twice as high system loads.

Nonlinear Multiuser Receiver for Optimized Chaos-Based DS-CDMA Systems
Chaos based communications have drawn increasing attention over the past years. Chaotic signals are derived from non-linear dynamic systems. They are aperiodic, broadband and deterministic signals that appear random in the time domain. Because of these properties, chaotic signals have been proposed to generate spreading sequences for wide-band secure communication recently. Like conventional DS...

The bit error rate of a coded Multiuser OFDM (M-OFDM) system and coded Multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) system with multiuser detection is analyzed. The paper focuses on downlink wireless applications, where the channel suffers from frequency-selective fading. We investigate both systems when long time interleaving is possible, though introducing large delays, and when time interleaving is limited. ...
