In this paper, we introduce a Parallel Interference Canceller (PIC) based sorting method to improve performance in the MC-DS/CDMA environment. A conventional PIC estimates and subtracts out all of the MAI (Multiple Access Interference) for each user in parallel. The parallel process ensures the low delay for the detection of all users. Also this scheme requires more stages for having better performance. Since the performance of PIC is strongly related to the correct MAI estimation, we introduce the IC (Interference Cancellation) scheme to estimate the accurate weaker signal group than the desired signal using conventional PIC. The principle of the proposed receiver sorts in descending order by the strength of signal and subtracts the MAI of the strong interferers from the desired signal for the accurate estimate of the weaker signals. Following this, the proposed scheme cancels out the improved weaker interference from the desired signal, using the output of the pre-step. In this result, the proposed system obtains better BER performance than the conventional PIC because the accuracy of the strong signal is improved. However, a disadvantage exists in that the processing time has slightly longer delay than the PIC owing to the power sorting and the MAI estimation process. The system performance evaluates and compares other non-liner It according to the number of sub-carriers in the limited-bandwidth.

We investigate some implementation factors that affect the performance of multi-rate parallel interference cancellers (PICs) for the international mobile telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) 3rd-generation partnership project (3GPP) system. We consider the simple multi-rate PIC [1,2] that can remove effectively multiple access interference (MAI) through block-based detection and sample-based cancellation in asynchronous user environments. The PIC structure has significantly lower complexity as compared with that of the existing scheme, especially as the number of users increases. We analyze the effects of timing error, oversampling rate, unsynchronized users and/or outer-cell interference, and the number of Quantization bits on the PIE performance through extensive computer simulations. The models for such factors and the optimum parameters are drawn. Finally, we evaluate the receiver complexities of the PIC receivers employing using the advanced removal scheme.

In time-varying multipath fading channels, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink systems suffer severe performance degradation caused by inter-channel interference (ICI). In this paper, we propose a hybrid interference cancellation (HIC) for suppressing the degradation effect of ICI. The proposed HIC can achieve both exact interference cancellation and low detection complexity through efficient combination of parallel detection and serial cancellation. Simulation results show that, as the effect of Doppler increases, the proposed HIC achieves bit error rate (BER) performance enhancement in compared with severe performance degradation of conventional OFDMA receivers. In addition, both the computational complexity and total detection time are reduced.

본 논문에서는 IMT-2000 시스템에 대한 제안된 표준안을 기초로 송수신 시스템을 구성하여 광대역 무선채널 환경 및 다양한 시스템 운용환경에서 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 수신 성능의 개선을 위하여 CCI(Co-Channel Interference) Canceller와 Rake 수신기를 혼합하여 기존의 Rake 수신기에서 제거할 수 없었던 자기 간섭(Auto Interference)을 제거하는 새로운 Rake수신기를 제안하였다. 또한 다중 경로 페이딩 모델로는 ITU-R M.1225에서 제시된 모델을 적용하였다. 성능 분석 결과, 상대적으로 작은 지연 확산을 가지는 채널 A가 중간 지연 확산을 가지는 채널 B보다 수신성능이 양호함을 알 수 있었으며, 채널 A와 B에 관계없이 제안된 레이크 수신기를 채용하였을 경우 자기 간섭의 제거 효과로 인해 수신성능이 기존의 레이크 수신기를 채용하였을 경우에 비해 향상됨은 알 수 있었다. 또한 간섭제거기와 제안된 레이크 수신기를 직렬로 연결한 수신기를 채용하였을 경우 다중접속간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었으며, 수신성능의 차이는 채널 환경이 양호할수록, $E_{b/}$N/ sub o/값이 커질수록 차이가 커짐을 알 수 있었다.다.

In this paper, a multistage parallel interference canceller (MPIC) and a partial multistage parallel interference canceller (PMPIC) are employed as a technique for improving the performance of the asynchronous DS-CDMA systems. The degree of the effect of the timing errors and phase errors on the interference cancellation capability of two types of cancellers is theoretically analyzed and the computer simulation is performed to confirm the analytical results. From the results, the large performance improvement is obtained by employing MPIC and PMPIC with perfect synchronization over the conventional matched filter, and the performance improvement obtained by MPIC and PMPIC is very close to each other as the number of the stage of MPIC and PMPIC increases. When the timing errors and phase errors are considered (in the case of imperfect synchronization), the performance improvement reduces as the performance degradation at the first stage (no cancellation) has a bad effect on the decision statistics at each stage. However MPIC and PMPIC have the strong interference cancellation capability in spite of imperfect synchronization as the number of the stage increases. An interference canceller, which has the strong interference cancellation capability as well as lower complexity for the implementation, is needed for practical systems with timing errors and phase errors because the perfect synchronization is impossible. Therefore, the excellent tradeoff between complexity and performance offered by PMPIC makes it an attractive approach for practical systems.

In this paper, we propose a cancellation scheme of multiple access interference (MAI), which is caused by carrier frequency offset, for the receiver of an interleaved orthogonal frequency division multiple access (IFDMA) uplink system. In the IFDMA systems, carrier frequency offsets introduce adjacent channel interference from other users' subcarriers, which results in performance degradation. In the proposed method, we compensate the carrier frequency offset in time domain and then eliminate MAI by using parallel interference cancellation in frequency domain. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective in removing the MAI especially when the number of users are large and the MAI severely degrades the system performance.

The successive and parallel interference cancellation schemes are two well-known types of multi-stage interference cancellation schemes using the conventional correlator receivers as a basic building block, which has been known to significantly improve the performance of DS/CDMA system in the multiple access communication. Performance comparison between these two schemes is made strictly based on the analytical and it has been shown that the successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme is more resistant to fading than the parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme. We further investigate the performance of the successive IC scheme subject to the delay constraint, which may be imposed typically on most of service applications with a real-time transmission requirement, including speech and video applications. Our analysis demonstrates that the performance may be significantly improved by the groupwise successive interference cancellation (GSIC) scheme, which can be properly optimized to meet the given delay constraint.

A Multicarrier code division multiple access(MC-CDMA) is a scheme that combines multicarrier modulation with CDMA. It offers robustness to frequency selective fading effect and can support higher rate data transmission with higher spectral efficiency. The objective of this article is proposed and analyzed a new asynchronous MC-CDMA system with various kinds of data rates which employs a multiple access interference (MAI) canceller. The proposed multirate MC-CDMA system can be accomplished by changing the number of Parallel branch(P) according to their data rate and hybrid interference canceller(HIC) are used for MAI cancellation. We compare the performance of proposed system in terms of average bit error rate(BER) with that of a single rate MC-CDMA system. The results show the large improvement in performance that can be attained by the cancellation scheme under multipath environments.

This paper presents theoretical analysis and experimental results on an improved interference rejection circuit in the presence of continuous wave interference at center frequency, particularly in a wide-band communication systems. This circuit is based upon a phase locked loop for estimating the CW interference phase and the MSE technique to minimize the estimation error. Therefore, the introduced rejection circuit that minimized the estimated phase error outperforms the rejection circuit with phase estimation only. As a result of experiment, we confirm that this proposed rejection circuit gives a high degree of interference rejection performances when the input J/S is large.

In this paper, we analyzed the serial interference cancellation scheme and proposed the new serial interference cancellation scheme suppressing multiple access interference. Compensating for the near-far effect and the multiple access interference is critical for the stable performance of DS/CDMA system, and the serial multiple access interference cancellation has been proposed as one of the compensation methods. But this serial interference cancellation scheme has a linear variation in the number of cancellation operation each users. Becaure of this variation, it is difficult to show a stable performance. Hence, we suggested a new serial interference applying window technique to overcome this fault and made a performance estiamation.
