Multicarrier-Direct Sequence/Code Division Multiple Access(MC-DS/ CDMA) which is a combination of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) and DS/CDMA has been of significant interest as a means to take such advantages as bandwidth efficiency, high bit rate and robustness against multipath fading. In this paper we study a reduced-complexity multiuser detection aided multirate MC-DS/CDMA with time(T)-domain and frequency(F)-domain spreading. The one- dimensional orthogonal variable spreading factor(1D OVSF) code extracted from 2D OVSF code are used as a spreading code in T/F-domain. The proposed system will use code grouping interference cancellation(CGIC) receiver to reduce Multiuser Interference(MUI). The CGIC receiver uses code grouping by the correlation properties of 1D OVSF code and dose not requires the code information and activity of other user. The multiuser detector with CGIC receiver will be analyzed in Time- and Frequency-domain separately(jointly). The system performance is analytically derived in Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN) channel and we also compare the system performance between proposed system and T/F spreaded single(multi) rate multiuser MC-DS/CDMA system. In the computer simulation results, the proposed receiver of demonstrated huge performance improvement over conventional matched filter receiver.

In this paper, we propose a novel energy efficient MAC protocol which is based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and exploits the physical characteristic that propagation loss of acoustic wave depends on the distance. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are grouped according to the distance to sink node. Then, each group uses a different frequency band. The proposed scheme not only enables all sensor nodes to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio above a certain required level (Accepted Minimum SNR, AMS), but also reduces overall transmission power consumption. In addition, the dynamic sub-channel allocation is employed in order to improve data transmission rate. Simulations show that proposed MAC protocol has better performance in a delay-tolerant underwater acoustic sensor networks.

This paper proposes a method to reduce the delay time caused by control message conflicts in VADAMA (Virtual Allocation Demand Assigned Multiple Access) technology, which is a virtual allocation based on-demand multiple access technology in MF-TDMA (Multi-Frequency Time Division Multiple Access) satellite network. Traditionally, satellite networks have had the problem that all network transmissions have long delay times due to control messages. In this study, in order to improve the delay time caused by terminal control message conflicts in VADAMA technology, the concept of virtual allocation is used to reduce the delay time. VADAMA-PTR (VADAMA Periodic Transmission) divides all terminals into subnets and transmits control. The method is proposed, and the performance analysis of the existing DAMA technology, delay time and data processing rate is performed using Matlab. The results show that the performance is improved.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of normalized SNR based proportional fair scheduling with partial feedback information for multiuser MIMO-OFDMA systems. The closed form expression on the downlink capacity of the selective partial CQI feedback scheme is derived and its asymptotic behavior is investigated. From the performance analysis and numerical results, it is found that the optimal growth rate of downlink capacity can be achieved with bounded average feedback overhead irrespective of the number of users.

In this paper, a new subcarrier-based handover scheme which exploits different channel gains of subcarriers in downlink OFDMA cellular systems. In this handover scheme, mobile users can obtain diversity gain by subcarrier selection. Feedback for unselected subcarriers reduces interference. The capacity enhancement by the handover scheme is originated from the following two characteristics of OFDMA systems. One is that interference per subcarrier is proportional to the traffic load. The other is that every subcarrier has different channel gain ?? 새 the Rayleigh fading channel. Therefore, selecting subcarriers with stronger channel gains results in diversity gain. Simulation results confirm that the proposed handover scheme improves the capacity of the OFDMA systems by reducing 24 percentage of the outage probability.

In uplink cable modem link operated in time-division multiple access mode, it is crucial to employ a suitable preamble pattern enabling frame detection, coarse timing/carrier recovery. Preamble pattern based on the constant envelope zero autocorrelation sequence is proposed for the uplink cable modem compliant to the data over cable service interface specification. Frame detection, coarse/fine timing and carrier recovery algorithms suitable for the proposed preamble pattern are also proposed. We check up the performances using numerical results.

In this paper, a low complexity subcarrier allocation scheme is proposed for multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems with zero-forcing beamformer (ZFBF) so that the total transmit power can be minimized satisfying given target data rate. Since the optimal method requires very high computational complexity, we propose a low complextiy suboptimal method. Using the fact that the effective channel gain is proportional to the orthogonallity of channels of multiplexed users, a user set with the highest orthogonality of channel among users is assigned to each subcarrier in order to minimize required transmit power. The numerical results show that the proposed suboptimal method can reduce computational complexity with little performance loss.

In this paper, we propose a novel channel estimation method based on pilot channel in a frequency interleaved multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA). Using the chip interleaving (CI) technique in the frequency domain make it possible to achieve higher frequency diversity gain than the system with conventional symbol interleaving. However, in CI-MC-CDMA systems, a pilot channel-based channel estimation (PCCE) cannot be applied because the orthogonality between pilot symbols and the data symbol is not maintained. The proposed method alters the system structure in order to maintain orthogonality between data and pilot channels over two consecutive subcarriers. Therefore, it can obtain accurate channel state information (CSI) in CI-MC-CDMA.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is one of the fledging paradigms which next generation radio access technologies are sprouting toward. The NOMA with superposition coding (SC) in the transmitter and successive interference cancellation (SIC) at the receiver comes with many desirable features and benefits over orthogonal multiple access (OMA) such as orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) adopted by Long-Term Evolution (LTE). In this paper, we study the recent research trends on NOMA in 5G systems. We discuss the basic concept of NOMA and explain its aspects of importance for future radio access. Then, we provide a survey of the state of the art in NOMA for 5G systems in a categorized manner. Further, we analyze the NOMA performances with numerical examples; and provide some avenues for future research on NOMA on a set of open issues and challenges.
