Suppression of Cochannel Interference in GSM by Pre-demodulation Signal Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
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 clearly demonstrate that FRESH filtering prior to demodulation in GSM basestations and/or handsets provides a cost-effective means of substantially improving system performance regardless of the antenna subsystem used. In all cases considered, single antenna, pair of diversity antennas, fully adaptive array of four omnidirectional antennas per 120° sector, and switched-beam array of four 30° antennas per 120° sector, FRESH filtering substantially reduces BER and FER (thereby improving quality) and/or reduces required SNR (thereby increasing range) and/or enables reduced frequency reuse factor (thereby increasing capacity).

Interference suppression by joint demodulation of cochannel signals
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...

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 ...
