This paper presents and analyses the closed-form expression of the average bit error rate (BER) for an asynchronous direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system with coherent binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme using a maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity over a Rician fading channel. In addition to the average BER, outage probability, and user capacity of system are estimated as performance measures. The results are general enough so that it includes Rayleigh fading and nonfading channel with zero and infinite Rician factor, respectively, as special cases. The effects of various channel models, processing gains, and diversity orders on the system performances are also considered for the typical multipath delay profiles characterized by Rician fading channel.

A combined precoding and turbo decoding strategy for multi-path frequency-selective fading channels is presented. The precoder and multi-path fading channel are jointly modeled as a finite-state probabilistic channel to provide the multi-stage turbo decoder with its statistics information. Both a priori and a posteriori probabilities are used in the metric computation to improve the system performance. Structures of the combined turbo-encoder, interleaver, and precoder in the transmitter and two-stage turbo decoder in the receiver are described. Performance of the proposed scheme in fixed, Rician and Rayleigh multi-path fading channels are evaluated by simulation. The results indicate that the combined precoding and two-stage turbo decoding strategy provides a considerable performance improvement while maintaining the same inner structure of a conventional turbo decoder.

The mobile radio channel can be simulated as a complex-valued random process with narrow-band spectrum. This paper describes a real-time implementation of that process using a INS320C6414 digital signal processor and XC2VP30 Virtex FPGA. The simulator presented here is not only a comprehensive model of the flat fading but also frequency selective fading mobile channel conditions. To replicate the statistical characteristics of the multipath fading environment with the minimum computational burden, multi-rate techniques are employed to resolve practical problems such as variable sampling rate. The simulator produces accurate and consistent results due to digital implementation. It is very flexible and simple to program for various field conditions in mobile communications with a graphical user interface.

In this paper, throughput is derived for slotted ALOHA wideband DS-CDMA and slotted ALOHA Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA systems in the multipath Rayleigh fading channel. The throughput of two systems are compared according to the length of a packet in the fast Rayleigh and the slow Rayleigh multipath fading. As a result, we have known that Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system has less capacity than wideband DS-CDMA system in the same bandwidth, but throughput of Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is higher than that of wideband DS-CDMA system. And in Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA systems, higher throughput can be obtained through shortening the length of packet in the fast Rayleigh fading and it is efficient to control the length of a packet adequately or increase the system capacity of Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system in the slow Rayleigh fading.

In this paper, we are considered Nakagami-m fading, which can model variable multipath mobile radio communication channel, in DS-CDMA system. System modeling using nakagami -m fading is suited for urban mobile communication channel with multipath. We used adaptive serial search PN code acquisition scheme and derived the detection probability($P_D$) and false alarm probability($P_FA$) which have influence on code acquisition time, over Nakagami-m fading. Detection probability($P_D$) and false alarm probability($P_FA$) are detection variable to decide PN code acquisition time and should use to calculate mean and variance. of acquisition time. From computer simulation, we analyzed mean and variance about PN code acquisition of fading channel. Then we can apply it to the H/W design of mobile communication.

In this paper, CDD(Cyclic Delay Diversity)-DSF(decode-and-selectively forward) relay schemes are proposed for MC-CDMA(multicarrier-code division multiple access) systems over multipath Rayleigh fading channels. On the contrary to general DSF schemes, each relay equipped a CDD method can transmit on single channel. Therefore, all link channels between destination and relays can be considered as a single channel which is widely delay spread. The cooperative diversity of relay networks can be obtained as the frequency diversity for MC-CDMA systems with proposed CDD schemes. Furthermore, a semi-analytical approach for the averaged bit error rare(BER) performance evaluation is proposed for the proposed CDD-DSF-Relay schemes. By simulation and numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed one can be a possible solution to achieve cooperative diversity gain without a reduction of spectral efficiency.

It is well-known that mobile communication systems are usually limited in their performance and capacity by three major impairments, which are multipath fading, delay spread and co-channel interference (CCI). OFDMA (OFDM-FDMA) system can cope with the multipath fading and delay spread easily due to the beneficial properties of OmM technology. Though OFDMA scheme avoids intra-cell interference using the orthogonality among subcarriers, the scheme contains difficulty of reducing co-channel interference. Therefore, in this paper, adaptive antenna techniques are deployed into OFDMA/TDD system to minimize the co-channel interference induced by adjacent cells and to enhance the uplink performance. For the improvement of downlink performance, we apply TxAA (Transmit Adaptive Array), a kind of transmit diversity technique, utilizing preamble symbols for training antenna may into OFDMA/TDD transmitter side. Simulation results show that the uplink and downlink performance under multipath Rayleigh fading channel improved 9dB and 7dB each compared with the case of single antenna system at target BER $10^{-3}$ .

An adaptive MMSE detector can be used to cancel the MAI in CDMA system. But standard adaptive MMSE detector cannot be used in real mobile environment due to fast fading channel. Furthermore multipath reception make it more difficult to converge to optimum weight values. In this paper we discuss and model the multipath fading environment in Forward-link Synchronous CDMA channels and propose adaptive MMSE RAKE detector structure which can be applied in the mobile station. A proposed adaptive MMSE detector requires estimation of received signal delay and complex channel coefficients such as amplitude and phase variation. These burden can be solved by utilizing the common pilot channel. The pilot channel may have higher power than the traffic channel, which give more exact channel estimation. Moreover RAKE structure gives more accurate and stable result which can be used as reliable reference signal in multipath fading channel environment. With this structure, conventional adaptive algorithm such as LMS or NLMS can be applied in adaptive MMSE detector.

In this paper, it is analyzed that the error performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system in a single cell with multipath Rician fading and multiple access interference (MAI) and the error performance of the system is compared with that of a Sing1e-Carrier DS-CDMA system. Moreover, the convolutional coding techniques with code rate of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are adopted in order to improve the error performance degraded by the multipath fading and MAI and performance improvement through the coding techniques is analyzed. As a result, it is shown that the number of users in each system can be determined by the number of branches of the rake receiver in a Single-Carrier DS-CDMA system and the number of carriers in a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system. Furthermore, the convolutional coding should be chosen with considering the trade-off between coding gain and a power limitation in a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system. In case of increasing the number of carriers, the processing gain is decreased but the error performance is improved through the effect of frequency diversity and the system can be possibility implemented due to the low chip rate.

In this paper, an improved timing synchronization method for OFDM system is proposed. In multipath fading channels, timing offset estimation algorithm based on simple correlation metric can cause inter-symbol interference (ISI). The proposed algorithm promises accurate timing offset estimation, which can be achieved by simple windowing. The estimation errors in several multipath channels are evaluated in computer simulations.
