It is known that conventional spread spectrum communication systems have a characteristics of non-synchronous multiple access. However, because the system has a interchannel interference, the number of channels that can communicate at the same time is small as compared with TDM. This paper presents a new synchronous sprea spectrum mulitple access communication system using a modified M sequence as a spread sequence. The system was constructed and through experiment we confirmed that a modified M sequence is superior to a M sequence in the area of interchannel interference, And we also confirmed that received waveforms are better with a increase of transmission bandwidth.

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based processing at the receiver has been perceived equivalent to the matched filter (MF)-based processing. In this paper, we revisit the equivalence and mathematically show that when the guard interval is insufficient, the well-known DFT-based processing inherently causes more intersymbol and interchannel interference (ISI/ICI) than the MF-based processing. Then, with the adverse increase of interference, analytical expressions for the link performance are derived in terms of bit error rate (BER). Numerical results from computer simulation and analysis are presented to justify our claims.

Due to the frequency offset, interchannel interference (ICI) is occurred in the received symbols of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The ICI self-cancellation (ICI-SC) technique appropriately adjusts the subchannel signal assignment of the OFDM symbols, thereby canceling the interference caused by other subchannels. The conventional adjacent symbol repetition (ASR) method can reduce the interference caused by remote subchannels. However, it may not mitigate or even increases the ICI produced by some nearest subchannels. To solve the problem, a new ASR based ICI-SC technique is proposed and its performance is analyzed in this paper. Here, a t-parameter obtained by the interference coefficients of 3 successive subchannels is applied. As a result, the proposed method has the same capability to reduce the influence of remote subchannels. However, it can reduce the ICI caused by the nearest subchannels significantly.

In the conventional interchannel interference self-cancellation (ICI-SC) schemes, the length of sampling window is the same as the symbol length of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Thus, the number of complex operations to compute the interference coefficient of each subchannel is significantly increased. To solve this problem, we present an approximated mathematical model for the coefficients of ICI-SC schemes. Based on the proposed approximation, we analyze mean squared error (MSE) and computational complexity of the ICI-SC schemes with the length of sampling window. As a result, the presented approximation has an error of less than 0.01% on the MSE compared to the original equation. When the number of subchannels is 1024, the number of complex computations for the interference coefficients is reduced by 98% or more. Since the computational complexity can be remarkably reduced without sacrificing the self-cancellation capability, it is considered that the proposed approximation is very useful to develop an algorithm for the ICI-SC scheme.

In this paper, the effect of a Doppler Spread caused by a mobile station (MS) is analyzed for transparent mobile multi-hop relays (MMR) systems based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The exact expression of interchannel interference (ICI) power and the upper bounds of ICI power are derived for OFDM systems with cooperative MMR or non-coopeartive throughput enhancement (TE) MMR. Also, the exact signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and its lower bound as well as ICI power and its upper bound, derived in this paper, are evaluated by computer simulation with the OFDM parameter set used for mobile WiMax (WiBro) systems.

This paper presents a bandwidth efficient self-cancellation scheme for interchannel interference (ICI) in OFDM transmission systems. Conventional self-cancellation schemes provide an excellent cancellation capability of ICI for relatively low frequency offsets. However, this capability is achieved at the expense of bandwidth efficiency and thus a higher modulation level is often used to compensate for desired throughput. By applying a partial differential coding (PDC) to the transmit data prior to the ICI self-cancellation, bandwidth efficiency is greatly improved by a factor of 2, while maintaining a string of data (+1, -1) alternately for the ICI. self-cancellation in OFDM systems. Computer simulations show that the performance of the proposed scheme is comparable to the conventional self-cancellation scheme with slight performance degradation for relatively lower frequency offsets.

An equalization technique for OFDM systems in tine variant fading environment is described. Time variant channels lead to interchannel interference which increases the bit mr rate. A frequency domain equalizer using pilot symbols is proposed. The equalizer decreases the interchannel interference affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is analyzed via computer simulation.

In this paper, we looked into the feature of a transmission system of the terrestrial digital broadcasting system and considered a ATSC 8-VSB transmission standard. Also, we analyzed the performance with the influence of an interchannel interference by the ATSC standard. As a result, the case not to consider Rician fading, The influence of the interfere did not exist if Frequency interval fell off over the 20MHz. The case to consider Rician fading, the system had the degradation of the performance.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of interference canceller on the performance of multitone DS/CDMA system proposed by Vandendorpe[5]. There are various kinds of interference canceller suggested by different researchers including parallel and successive cancellers and we adopt a canceller used by Yoon et al.[9] which is a kind of parallel canceller. We consider three kinds of interferences, that is, multipath interference(MPI), interchannel interference(ICI) and multiple access interference(MAI). The ICI is the interference between multitones. The equations for variances. are derived for the inteferences and thermal noise used for signal to noise ratio calculation. We also consider RAKE reception over multipath channel which is modeled as lowpass equivalent linear filter and three stage interference canceller used for performance improvement. We show the performance results for number of canceller stage, diversity order and number of users and draw some conclusions that interference canceller is effective in multitone DS/CDMA system and the performance is further improved with the higher order of diversity and larger number of PN chips.

In this paper, an equalization technique for OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in a time-variant multipath fading environment is described. A loss of subchannel orthogonality due to time-varying multipath fading channels leads to interchannel interference (ICI) which increases the error floor in proportion to Doppler frequency. A simple frequency-domain equalizer which can compensate the effect of ICI caused by time variation of multipath fading channel is proposed by modifying the previous frequency-domain equalization technique with taking into account only the ICI terms significantly affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via computer simulation by applying it to OFDM systems when the multipath fading channel is slowly time variant.
