Intercarrier interference (ICI) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, which causes substantial performance degradation in time-varying fading channels, is analyzed. An equivalent spreading code formulation is derived based on the analogy of OFDM and code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Techniques as linear multiuser detection in CDMA systems are applied to suppress the ICI in OFDM systems. The performance of linear detection, measured using multiuser efficiency and asymptotic multiuser efficiency, is analyzed given the assumption of perfect channel state information (CSI), which serves as an upper bound for the performance of practical systems. For systems without CSI, time domain and frequency domain channel estimation based linear detectors are proposed. The performance gains and robustness of a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) filter over a traditional filter (TF) and matched filter (MF) in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime are demonstrated with numerical simulation results.

The optimal joint maximum-likelihood sequence estima-for using an array of antennas is derived for synchronous direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system. Each user employs a rate 1/n convolutional code for channel coding for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The array re-ceiver structure is composed of beamformers in the users' direc-tions followed by a bank of matched filters. The decoder is imple-mented using a Viterbi algorithm whose states depend on the num-ber of users and the constraint length of the convolutional code. The asymptotic array multiuser coding gain(AAMCG)is defined to encompass the asymptotic multiuser coding gain and the spatial information on users' locations in the system. We derive the upper and lower bounds of the AAMCG. As an example, the upper and lower bounds of AAMCG are obtained for the two user case where each user employes the maximum free distance convolutional code with rate 1/2. The enar-far resistance property is also investigated considering the number of antenna elements and user separations in the space.

We consider the use of error control coding in direct sequence-code-division multiple access (OS-COMA) systems that employ multiuser detection (MUO) and space diversity. The relative performance gain between Reed-Solomon (RS) code and convolutional code (CC) is well known in [1] for the single user, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In this case, RS codes outperform CC's at high signal-to-noise ratios. We find that this is not the case for the multiuser interference channel mentioned above. For useful error rates, we find that soft-decision CC's to be uniformly better than RS codes when used with DS-COMA modulation in multiuser space-time channels. In our development, we use the Gaussian approximation on the interference to determine performance error bounds for systems with low number of users. Then, we check their accuracy in error rate estimation via system's simulation. These performance bounds will in turn allow us to consider a large number of users where we can estimate the gain in user-capacity due to channel coding. Lastly, the use of turbo codes is considered where it is shown that they offer a coding gain of 2.5 dB relative to soft-decision CC.

Estimated channel information, especially multipath length and multipath channel of the desired user, is necessary for most previously reported linear blind multiuser detectors in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. This paper presents a new blind intersymbol decorrelating detector in asynchronous CDMA systems, which uses the cross correlation matrix of the consecutive symbols. The proposed detector is attractive for its simplicity because no channel estimation is required except the synchronization of the desired user. Compared with other reported multiuser detectors, simulation results show that the proposed detector provides a good performance when the active users have significant intersymbol interference and the multipath length is short.

우수한 성능의 OFDM 전송을 위하여, 각 사용자에게 유리한 채널을 할당하는 다중 사용자 다이버시티(MUD) 방식이 최근 사용되고 있다. 또한 시스템의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 STBC 안테나 다이버시티 방식이 현재 사용되고 있다. 파일럿 심볼을 이용하여 전송 채널을 추정하는 현 시스템에서는 채널 추정 오차로 인하여 시스템의 성능이 열화 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서 채널 추정 오차의 영향을 고려하여 MUD STBC OFDM 전송 시스템의 비트 오류율 성능을 분석한다. 분석 결과, MUD를 사용한 시스템에서는 같은 비트 오류율에 대하여 사용자 수가 32인 경우에 5 dB 정도의 다이버시티 전력 이득을 얻는다.

본 논문에서는 M-ary 직교 변조를 사용하는 직접 확산 코드 분할 다중 접속 (DS/CDMA: Direct Sequence/Code Division Multiple Access) 시스템을 위한 최대 근사 (Maximum Lkelihood : ML) 결정 궤환 채널 추정(Decision Feedback Channel Estimation : DFCE) 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 결정 궤환 정보로서 RAKE 수신기의 최대 결합 출력을 사용한다. 제안된 시스템으로부터 추정된 채널 값을 이용하면 파일럿의 삽입없이 RAKE 수신기에서 동기 검파 (coherent demodulation)를 할 수 있고, 동시에 최대 비 결합(Maximum Ration Combining : MRC) 기법을 사용할 수 있다. 그러나 제안된 DFCE 다중 사용자 환경에서 다중 사용자 간섭 (Multiple Access Interference: MAI)으로 인해 심각한 성능의 저하가 발생한다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 다단 병렬 간섭 제거기(Multistage Parallel Interference Cancellation : PIC)를 제안된 시스템과 결합해 본다. 제안된 DFCE에서 추정된 정확한 채널 값은 동기식 검파뿐 아니라 PIC에서 다중 사용자 간섭 신호의 재 생성(regeneration)을 위해서도 쓰인다. 이럴 경우 PIC와 EFCF간에 서로 도움을 주는 이중 효과를 얻게 된다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 시스템은 기존의 비동기 검파(noncoherent demodulation) 방식에 비해 다단 PIC를 쓰지 않는 동기 검파의 경우 IE-02의 E$_{b}$/N$_{0}$에서 수용 가능한 사용자 수가 5명에서 약 10으로 2배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 다단 PIC를 사용한 동기 검파의 경우 약 30명으로 6배 정도가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper we studied for multi-user detection system, which hold the merit of CDMA system and can enhance the system capacity. We designed actually realizable quasi-optimal multiuser detection system by use of linear equalizer on the concept that multiuser detection algorithm can be reduced by combining TDMA with CDMA. we call this the hybrid TDMA/CDMA system. And we proposed multiuser detection system, which can use PSAD and MSDD channel estimation method. As a result of performance analysis we acquired equal or much better performance by use of linear multichannel equalizer in the case of not so many user. And on the occasion of many user within cell we can also acquired much better performance in comparison with conventional single user detection system by use of hybrid TDMA/CDMA system.

In massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, linear channel estimation algorithms are widely applied owing to their simple structures. However, they may cause pilot contamination, which affects the subsequent data detection performance. Therefore, herein, for an uplink multicell massive multiuser MIMO system, we consider using an alternating projection (AP) for channel estimation to eliminate the effect of pilot contamination and improve the performance of data detection in terms of the bit error rates as well. Even though the AP is nonlinear, it iteratively searches the best solution in only one dimension, and the computational complexity is thus modest. We have analyzed the mean square error with respect to the signal-to-interference ratios for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios. From the simulation results, we observed that the channel estimation results via the AP benefit the following signal detection more than that via the least squares for both the cooperative and non-cooperative multicell scenarios.

Single carrier-frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) has been adopted as the uplink transmission standard in fourth-generation cellular networks to facilitate power efficiency transmission in mobile stations. Because multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) is a promising technology employed to fully exploit the channel capacity in mobile radio networks, this study investigates the uplink transmission of MU-MIMO SC-FDMA systems with orthogonal space-frequency block codes (SFBCs). It is preferable to minimize the length of the cyclic prefix (CP). In this study, the chained turbo equalization technique with chained turbo estimation is employed in the designed receiver. Chained turbo estimation employs a short training sequence to improve the spectrum efficiency without compromising the estimation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel and spectrally efficient iterative joint-channel estimation, multiuser detection, and turbo equalization for an MU-MIMO SC-FDMA system without CP-insertion and with short TR. Some simulation examples are presented for the uplink scenario to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
