This essay attempts to suggest a third way to interpret probabilities based on diagnoses of weaknesses and strengths of the objective and the subjective interpretations. While the objective interpretations capture important intuitions in employing probability, it can provide the definitions of probability only in a circular way. Although the subjective interpretations seem to avoid this problem, it also fails to understand how one can extract certain information from the ignorance of a given system. It will be suggested that these problems can be bypassed if we consider probabilities as theoretical structure, which provide significant generalizations about the world.

In this paper, we propose a system to cancel the multi-user interference of synchronous BPSK DS/CDMA systems. In this CDMA scheme, the spectrum of the user's signal is directly spread by means of the Simplex code or the phase offsetted PN code. But in arbitrary bit interval, we use the one spreading code of the Simplex code and the phase offsetted PN code. The receiver cancel the multi-user interference and demodulate information bits by using reference correlator. This paper presents a interference cancellation model and analyzes this system mathematically. The suggested system show that the interference resulting from other users are remarkably reduced. In AWGN and Nakagami fading environment we analyze interference generated from other users and compare the resulting performance with that of the conventional receiver in same user side.

In this paper, we propose a simple open loop transmit diversity (TD) scheme for the wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) systems in Rician multipath fading channels such as rural area or satellite channels where line-of-sight (LOS) paths are in presence. The proposed scheme does not require any pre-processing of transmit data, resulting in simpler structure as compared to conventional closed loop transmit adaptive array (TxAA) and open loop space-time transmit diversity (STTD). We analytically derive the probability density function of signal-to-noise ratio at the Rake receiver output and the uncoded bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme. Extensive simulation is Performed to verify the analytical performance of the proposed scheme under typical Rician multipath fading channel environments. Moreover, comparative results with the conventional TxAA and STTD are also provided. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme shows slightly better performance than the conventional open loop STTD under the channels with very weak LOS components, however, it significantly outperforms the STTD under the channels with dominant LOS components, and achieves a close performance of ideal closed loop TxAA.
