On the performance evaluation, selection, and design ofunique-words for time-division multiple access systems

The issues of performance evaluation, selection, and design of unique-words for time-division multiple-access systems are addressed for both additive white Gaussian noise and time-varying multipath fading channels. An efficient algorithm is proposed to compute the probability of a missed detection, which serves as the performance index of unique-words. Also, a simple upper bound on the probability of a missed detection is derived. This bound has been shown very tight for a large range of bit error rate. Based on this tight upper bound, a two-step algorithm is proposed for easy selection and design of good unique-words. For time-varying multipath fading channels, the performance of unique-words is evaluated for Rayleigh and Rician fading characteristics, which are suitable models for mobile and personal communication environments. The results show that the degradation caused by the fading effect can be larger than 10 dB for the performance of practical interest

On the performance of ultra-wide-band signals in Gaussian noise anddense multipath

An ultra-wide-band (UWB) signal is characterized by a radiated spectrum with a very wide bandwidth around a relatively low center frequency. In this paper, we study the reduced fading margin property of UWB signals. To evaluate the fading margin, we compare the performance of UWB signals in an environment with only additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) versus the performance of UWB signals in a dense multipath environment with AWGN. The assumption here is that the presence of multipath causes a small increase in the signal-to-noise ratio required to achieve reasonable levels of bit error rate. A numerical example confirms this assumption, more specifically, the example shows that to achieve a bit error rate equal to 10^-5, we require about 13.5 dB in the AWGN case and about 15 dB in the multipath case, resulting in a fading margin of just 1.5 dB. This small fading margin can be understood by the ability of the UWB signal to resolve the dense multipath     

Performance evaluation of OFDM and single‐carrier systems using frequency domain equalization and phase modulation

In this paper, we study the performance of the continuous phase modulation (CPM)‐based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CPM‐OFDM) system. Also, we propose a CPM‐based single‐carrier frequency domain equalization (CPM‐SC‐FDE) structure for broadband wireless communication systems. The proposed structure combines the advantages of the low complexity of SC‐FDE, in addition to exploiting the channel frequency diversity and the power efficiency of CPM. Both the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed system are implemented with FDE to avoid the complexity of the equalization. Two types of frequency domain equalizers are considered and compared for performance evaluation of both systems; the zero forcing (ZF) equalizer and the minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer. Simulation experiments are performed for a variety of multipath fading channels. Simulation results show that the performance of the CPM‐based systems with multipath fading is better than their performance with single path fading. The performance over a multipath channel is at least 5 and 12 dB better than the performance over a single path channel, for the CPM‐OFDM system and the proposed CPM‐SC‐FDE system, respectively. The results also show that, when CPM is utilized in SC‐FDE systems, they can outperform CPM‐OFDM systems by about 5 dB. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A maximum-likelihood bound approaching minimum bit error rate linear multiuser detector for frequency-selective DS-CDMA systems

In this letter, a minimum bit error rate (MBER) linear multiuser detector (MUD) is considered for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) communication systems, distorted by time-varying and frequency-selective multipath fading channels. Based on the approach for finding filter coefficients of the proposed MBER MUD, an efficient Newton method with a barrier parameter is developed. The BER performance of the MBER MUD is compared to other conventional detectors. The study finds that the proposed MBER MUD has more than 2 dB gain over the linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) detector. Furthermore, in the high SNR region, the BER performance of the proposed MBER MUD approaches the performance of the maximum-likelihood (ML) detector.     

A noncoherent tracking loop with diversity and multipathinterference cancellation for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems

A noncoherent tracking loop with diversity reception and multipath interference cancellation is proposed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems on frequency-selective multipath fading channels. The basic idea of the loop is to reproduce the multipath interference and remove it from the received signal, and then a path diversity is embedded in the loop to improve the loop performance. The tracking error performance of the loop is evaluated by linear analyses and computer simulations. Numerical results show that the proposed tracking loop outperforms the traditional delay locked loop and performs very well under all considered fading conditions     

Error Performance of Rotated Phase Shift Keying Modulation over Fading Channels

In this paper, the modulation diversity is used to improve the performance of M-PSK modulation over fading channels. Modulation diversity can be achieved by rotating the signal constellation and using component interleaving. We derive symbol error probability expressions for rotated uncoded M-PSK over Ricean fading channels and obtain optimal rotation angles for M-PSK (M = 2, 4, 8). We show that rotated signal constellations with component interleaving improve the performance of M-PSK significantly as compared to the unrotated one over Rayleigh and Ricean fading channels. For example, when the ratio of the direct path power to the multipath signal power, K is 0 and 10, 8 and 1.5 dB gains are obtained, respectively, at a symbol error probability of 10⁻³ for 8PSK modulation. We also show that as K gets larger, the gain obtained by the rotation rapidly decreases. We develop a new asymmetric 8PSK signal constellation obtained from two QPSK signal constellations that are optimally rotated by different angles. This asymmetric 8PSK and also the rotated 8PSK signal constellation together with component interleaving are applied to four-state trellis-coded schemes. Simulation results show that these new schemes provide good performance improvements over the original TCM schemes and previous relevant works over Rayleigh and Ricean fading channels.     

A robust channel estimator for DS-CDMA systems under multipath fading channels

This paper addresses the problem of channel estimation for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems with time-varying multipath fading channels. The multipath fading channels are modeled as autoregressive (AR) models. A method is first proposed to convert the time-varying regression model due to the time-varying nature of users' information symbols into a time-invariant one. Then, a polynomial approach is proposed to obtain the minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator. The uncertainty of the channel model and decision errors of the DS-CDMA detector are taken into consideration in the design of the MMSE estimator. Compared with the Kalman estimator, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is much lower. The simulation results show that the proposed estimator provides a comparable estimation performance with the Kalman estimator and is robust for fast-fading channels.     

Path diversity for FFH/PSK spread-spectrum communication systems

A fast frequency hopping (FFH) method which uses path-diversity combining is proposed. Diversity techniques are realized when a signal is received from diverse independent paths, each of which carries identical information but suffers from independent fading variations. The improvement of communication performance of FFH systems is possible as the delayed paths are used and path-diversity combination is realized. The advantages of this method, operating in Rayleigh fading channels are confirmed by theoretical analyses. The improvement is in order of 2~3 dB at bit error rate (BER) of 10^-3. This method can be also effective against interferences from other users in a code division multiple access (CDMA) environment. The performance of this system in a CDMA environment is evaluated by theoretical analyses and is shown to be superior to non-combining method. At BER of 10^-3 the required E_b/N₀ of the proposed system is 5 dB lower. If E_b/N_o is fixed, a greater number of users can be accommodated using the proposed system
