Multi-Rate Access Schemes for MC-CDMA

In order to accommodate different types of traffic in future wirelesscommunications, it is necessary to consider a system, which can operatesatisfactorily at multiple transmission rates. Due to its capability to copewith the hostile frequency selective fading, that limits transmission rate,and its suitability to handle multi-rate data, multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA)has recently drawn considerable attention as a suitable candidate forsupporting multimedia services in wireless communications. Multi-rate accessschemes where users are able to transmit at different data rates on MC-CDMAsystems are presented in this paper. Four multi-rate access schemes: uncodedfixed spreading length (UFSL), coded fixed spreading length (CFSL), multi-codefixed spreading length (MFSL) and variable spreading length (VSL) schemes areproposed. With these schemes, different traffic such as voice, video and highrate data can be transmitted seamlessly through one MC-CDMA infrastructure.A chip-level minimum mean square error combining (MMSEC) technique is employedfor joint energy combining and interference cancellation purpose. Theperformance of these schemes with MMSEC is compared by both theoreticalderivations and simulation results under frequency selective Rayleigh fadingchannels.     

On Trellis Coded Noncoherent Space-Time Modulation

Unitary space-time modulation (USTM) is well-tailored for noncoherent space-time modulation. Trellis coded USTM (TC-USTM) can obtain significant coding gains over uncoded USTM for the noncoherent block fading channel. Conventional TC-USTM schemes expand the signal set of uncoded USTM by a factor of two. In this letter, we propose a new TC-USTM scheme in which the size of USTM set is not limited to be just double for uncoded USTM. However, in TC-USTM schemes, because signals of the same trellis branch are transmitted over the same fading coefficients, one trellis branch can only obtain one temporal diversity. In this letter, we also propose a new trellis coded noncoherent space-time modulation scheme by interleaving space-time signals. The proposed scheme can enlarge temporal diversity at the price of increased complexity and delay. Simulation results demonstrate the excellent error performances of codes found by computer searches for both schemes.     

Generalized receiver selection combining schemes for alamouti MIMO systems with MPSK

Analytical results for the symbol error rate (SER) of M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) in a slow, flat Rayleigh fading channel for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system using an Alamouti transmission scheme and generalized selection combining (GSC) scheme are given. Two new receiver selection schemes, generalized space-time sum-of-squares (GSTSoS) selection diversity and generalized space-time sum-of-magnitudes (GSTSoM) selection diversity are proposed. The first provides the same performance as conventional GSC, and the second provides slightly poorer performance, but neither requires channel state information and both have much simpler implementations. The SER of MPSK in Rayleigh fading using these two selection schemes is studied and compared to that of conventional GSC. The effects of channel estimation errors on each selection scheme are examined.     

Performance of Up-link MC-CDMA System with Frequency Offset and Imperfect Channel Estimation Simultaneously over Nakagami Fading Channels

In this paper, effects of carrier frequency offset on performance of uplink MC-CDMA (Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access) system in Nakagami fading channel are investigated through the theoretical analysis and Monte Carlo computer simulations. Both perfect maximal-ratio combining (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC) receivers are analyzed; the impact of imperfect channel fading estimation on the performance of MRC is also explored. The performance of MC-CDMA system is also compared with that of the conventional single-carrier DS-CDMA system. Our results indicate that the performance of MC-CDMA system is sensitive to even small values of carrier frequency offset and that the performance of MC-CDMA system improves as number of subcarriers increases. In perfect channel fading estimation, the overall performance of MRC is superior to EGC. However, when imperfect or inaccurate channel fading estimation exists, which leads to serious performance degradation, EGC becomes superior to MRC. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Performance of Multiband Complex-Wavelet-Based MC-CDMA System with Space-Time Coding over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

Space-time coding technique and Multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) technique have received much interest due to their high frequency spectrum efficiency and high data rate transmission. On the basis of analyzing the two technique principle, utilizing the optimized multiband complex wavelet as multi-carrier basis function, we propose an MC-CDMA system based on multiband complex wavelet and space-time coding for downlink and investigate the system bit error rate (BER) performance over Nakagami-m fading channel. The system has much higher spectrum efficiency and data rate due to no need any cyclic prefix (CP) when compared to the conventional MC-CDMA system. Moreover, the application of space-time coding technique improves the ability against fading channel effectively and perfects the downlink performance further. Simulation results show that the proposed multiband complex-wavelet-based MC-CDMA (MBCW-MC-CDMA) system performs better than conventional MC-CDMA system and real wavelet-packet-based MC-CDMA system due to its superior ability against interferences. Especially, the space-time coded MBCW-MC-CDMA system has superior performance, and it outperforms single antenna MBCW-MC-CDMA and conventional MC-CDMA with space-time coding.     

Performance comparison of MRC and EGC on a MC-CDMA system with synchronization errors over fading channels

This work derives the average bit error rate (BER) of the uplink and downlink multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems using maximum ratio combining (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC) with synchronization errors over fading channels. The derived equation can simultaneously incorporate the parameters of the fading channel and all of the synchronization errors, including frequency offset, carrier phase jitter, and timing jitter. Numerical results indicate that those two combining schemes on the uplink and downlink MC-CDMA systems are degraded by all of the normalized synchronization errors over 10⁻². The comparison outcomes between MRC and EGC reveal that the MRC generally outperforms EGC in the uplink MC-CDMA system. However, EGC achieves better performance when the number of users is small, the normalized synchronization errors are low and the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is high. In the downlink system, EGC mainly outperforms MRC when the SNR and the number of users are gradually increased and the normalized synchronization errors are low. Therefore, the selection of MRC or EGC depends on the SNR, the synchronization errors and the number of users in uplink and downlink MC-CDMA systems.
