In this paper, an efficient performance enhancement scheme for an adaptive antenna array under the flat and the frequency-selective Rayleigh fadings is proposed. The proposed signal enhancement scheme is the modified linear signal estimator which combines the rank N approximation by reducing noise eigenvalues(RANE) and Toeplitz matrix approximation(TMA) methods into the linear signal estimator. The proposed performance enhancement scheme is performed by not only reducing the noise component from the signal-plus-noise subspace using RANE but also having the theoretical property of noise-free signal using TMA. Consequently, the key idea of the proposed performance enhancement scheme is to greatly enhance the performance of an adaptive antenna array by removing all undesired noise effects from the post-correlation received signal. The proposed performance enhancement scheme applies at the Wiener maximal ratio combining(MRC) method which has been widely used as the conventional adaptive antenna array. It is shown through several simulation results that the performance of an adaptive antenna array using the proposed signal enhancement scheme is much superior to that of a system using the conventional method under several environments, i.e., a flat Rayleigh fading, a fast frequency-selective Rayleigh fading, a perfect/imperfect power control, a single cell, and a multicell.

The performance characteristics of the cell averaging(CA), greatest of(GO), and smallest of(SO) constant false alarm rate(CFAR) processors in homogeneous environment are obtained and compared when receiving antenna diversity is employed in the pseudonoise code acquisition of direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems. From the simulation results, it is observed that the CA CFAR scheme has the best performance and the GO CFAR scheme has almost the same performance as the CA CFAR scheme in homogeneous environment. In Part 2 of this paper, the CA, GO, and SO CFAR processors for code acquisition in nonhomogeneous environment are addressed.

This paper shows that the Kronecker sequence, the rapid acquisition spreading code, can be used in packet wireless data communication systems. The general properties of the Kronecker sequence such as construction and correlation characteristics are described, and it is shown that the Kronecker sequence can use a partial-period correlation for a faster acquisition. Based on above Properties, it can be expected that the Kronecker sequence can be used in packet communication systems because the probability of false alarm for the Kronecker sequence is lower and flatter(that is, less sensitive to Ec/No variations) than that for the PN sequence under the assumption that both sequences have the same acquisition time.

A blind interference canceller in the presence of subchipspaced multipath channels for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) down-link system is considered. This technique is based on combining the existing blind interference canceller with a technique that involves assigning subchip-tap spacing to the Rake receiver. The proposed receiver minimizes the receiver’s output energy subject to a constraint in order to mitigate the multiple access interference (MAI) along each multipath component, and then suboptimally combining all the multipath components. Moreover, it is able to mitigate the mismatch problem when subchip-spaced multipath components arrive at the blind interference canceller. It is known that optimal combining techniques perform a decorrelation operation before combining, which requires both knowledge and computational complexity. In the following, we have adopted a simpler but suboptimum approach in the combining of the suppressed signals at the output of our proposed receiver. Computer simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed receiver to handle subchip-spaced multipath components and still suppresses MAI significantly.

In the direct sequence code division multiple access system, the problem of multiple access interference due to multiple access is generated. A interference cancelling receiver is used to solve this problem. The conventional interference cancelling receiver is structure of successive interference canceller using antenna array. In this structure, the difference of between method I and method II depends on updating weight vector. In this paper, the adaptive blind CMA array interference cancelling receiver using cost function of constant modulus algorithms is proposed to update weight vector at conventional structure. The simulation compared the proposed interference cancelling receiver with two conventional interference cancelling receivers by signal to interference ratio and bit error rate curve under additive white Gaussian noise environment. The simulation results show that the proposed receiver has about the gain of SIR of 1.5[dB] more than method I which is conventional receiver at SIR curve, and about the gain of SIR of 0.5(dB) more than method II. In BER curve, the proposed IC receiver about the gain of SNR of 2[dB] more than method I and about the gain of SNR of 0.5[dB] more than method If, Thus, the proposed interference cancelling receiver has the higher performance than conventional interference cancelling receivers.

This paper shows the performance of a multiuser detection DS-CDMA receiver based on of the hybrid scheme of parallel interference cancellation (PIC) and successive interference cancellation (SIC). The proposed hybrid interference cancellation is presented and is compared with existing PIC, SIC and Hybrid It of other type schemes. The performance criteria used for comparison are complexity, delay and average bit error rate (BER) performance obtained by simulation in Rayleigh-fading channel (Jake's model) with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). In the proposed hybrid IC, the BER performance approximates the one of SIC and the delay is half of the SIC. And the number of cancellation of the hybrid It is reduced about a fourth.

In mobile communication systems, there are areas where signal coverage is not adequately accomplished by base stations. These areas may be underground parking zones, underground stores, tunnels, and insides of buildings, etc. In these areas, repeaters are broadly used as an economical solution. However, the capacity is decreased as the number of repeaters increases because the noise power that flows to a base station in the reverse link is proportional to the number of repeaters. The reduction of capacity in the reverse link is no longer negligible in the case that several tens or hundreds repeaters are connected to a base station. In this paper, we propose c repeater that is switched off automatically when there is no active user within its coverage. With the switching repeater, we can reduce the unnecessary noise level enhancement when there is no active user within the repeaters coverage. The reverse link capacity of a DS/CDMA system with AOS repeater is analyzed mathematically and compared with that without switching repeater. From the numerical results, noticeable improvement with the switching repeaters is shown.

In this paper, it is analyzed theoretically that the performance degradation, caused by carrier frequency offset, in an OFDM/M-ary PSK system. Then, when Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the degree of performance enhancement is evaluated. Finally, the maximum frequency offset is calculated to satisfy the BER performance required in a Turbo coded OFDM/M-ary PSK system. As results of analysis, it is shown that the more the number of M-ary is, the worse the BER performance is. Moreover, 7dB, 9dB, and 17dB of $E_b/N_o$ are required in QPSK, 8PSK and 16PSK systems, respectively in order to satisfy the error performance, $BER=10^{-3}$ for voice communication. If $E_b/N_o$ are 10㏈ and 15㏈, the frequency offset should be below 0.05 and 0.075, respectively, for voice communication. When Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the less the number of M-ary is, the greater the performance enhancement of Turbo coding is. If the number of a M-ary system of the system is below 16, it is found that required $E_b/N_o$ is about 8dB to satisfy $BER=10^{-5}$ Moreover, in the system the Turbo coding scheme, voice communication is available with greatly low$E_b/N_o$, and 8dB of $E_b/N_o$ is enough for data communication regardless of the permission range of frequency offset.
