相关衰落信道下闭环发射分集方案的性能分析

未来移动通信系统采用的关键技术之一是发射分集技术，如WCDMA标准中采用了一种称作闭环发射分集的方案，用于下行信道传输。闭环发射分集方案使用了前向信道的相位与幅度的部分信息来选择天线的加权系数，在信道时变速率较小时，闭环发射分集的性能优于开环发射分集方案。在一般情况下，假设两个发射天线之间距离足够大，各个发射天线到接收天线的信道是不相关的，在基站这种假设是合理的。但如果在上行信道传输中(移动台到基站)应用闭环发射分集技术时，天线之间不相关的假设很难满足。本文基于对移动台配置多天线并应用闭环发射分集技术的考虑，研究在相关瑞利衰落信道下闭环发射分集技术的性能。蒙特卡罗仿真给出了不同相关系数下的性能曲线，并得出一个具有指导意义的结论。

Diversity gain for cdma systems equipped with antenna arrays

If the angular spread is not zero, the diversity gain can be achieved in the antenna-array reception. In order to achieve the diversity gain, we propose a beamforming method that utilizes two beamforming weight vectors and apply this beamforming technique to code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems equipped with antenna arrays under a time-varying multipath-fading channel environment. In the proposed beamforming method, the channel vector has been estimated using two basis vectors that span the signal subspace. Since the proposed beamforming method utilizes two-dimensional (2D) signal subspace, it provides better performance than the conventional beamforming method, which utilizes one-dimensional signal subspace. Through simulation results, we can see that the performance is improved as the angular spread gets larger.     

Selection Combining Site Diversity Performance in High Altitude Platform Networks

High altitude platform networks operating in Ka-bands and V-bands exhibit severe degradation due to multiple atmospheric phenomena. In such frequencies, site diversity is a very efficient fade mitigation technique. This letter introduces a novel physical analytical model for the evaluation of selection combining site diversity error performance, taking into account the spatial correlation of rain attenuation and the total attenuation statistics. The outage performance of selection combining reception is being calculated through exact close-form formulas. Numerical results highlight the significant improvement against single site reception and determine the optimum relative positioning of main and diverse sites.

On the diversity, bandwidth, and performance of digitaltransmission over frequency-selective slow fading channels

The issues of diversity reception, bandwidth utilization, and performance evaluation of digital transmission over slowly time-varying frequency-selective fading channels are investigated, with a transmit pulse design that is more general than previously considered. In particular, the tradeoffs among performance, bandwidth, and complexity are addressed. Three types of transmit pulses are considered and compared, including the raised cosine (RC), square-root RC (SRRC), and Gaussian pulses. Union bounds on the symbol and burst error rate are derived for maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) based on exact pairwise error probabilities for burst-mode transmission. Explicit and implicit diversity are employed to improve the system performance. The results show that the implicit diversity is flexible and easy to exploit and is a good complement to the space or other explicit diversity to further improve the system performance     

Free-space optical communication through atmospheric turbulence channels

In free-space optical communication links, atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in both the intensity and the phase of the received light signal, impairing link performance. We describe several communication techniques to mitigate turbulence-induced intensity fluctuations, i.e., signal fading. These techniques are applicable in the regime in which the receiver aperture is smaller than the correlation length of fading and the observation interval is shorter than the correlation time of fading. We assume that the receiver has no knowledge of the instantaneous fading state. When the receiver knows only the marginal statistics of the fading, a symbol-by-symbol ML detector can be used to improve detection performance. If the receiver has knowledge of the joint temporal statistics of the fading, maximum-likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) can be employed, yielding a further performance improvement, but at the cost of very high complexity. Spatial diversity reception with multiple receivers can also be used to overcome turbulence-induced fading. We describe the use of ML detection in spatial diversity reception to reduce the diversity gain penalty caused by correlation between the fading at different receivers.     

Multiuser detection and diversity reception for asynchronous CDMA mobile communication

In CDMA mobile communication systems, multiple access interference can be canceled by multiuser detection technique. The Degradation by channel fading can be reduced by diversity reception. This paper investigates a family of multiuser receivers that combined decor-relating detection, antenna diversity and RAKE multipath diversity. The performance of the multiuser receivers is analyzed. The results demonstrate a significant increase in the performance of the receivers by using multiuser detection and diversity reception.     

Discrete time-scale characterization of wideband time-varying systems

Wideband time-varying systems can be found in many applications, including underwater acoustics and ultra-wideband technologies. The time variation due to Doppler scaling effects, coupled with dispersive scattering due to multipath propagation, can severely limit the performance of wideband systems. Just as the discrete time-frequency model can efficiently improve narrowband processing, a discrete time-scale system characterization is important in processing wideband time-varying systems. In this paper, a time-scale model is proposed as a discrete characterization of wideband time-varying systems. This representation decomposes a wideband system output into discrete time shifts and Doppler scalings on the input signal, weighted by a smoothed and sampled version of the wideband spreading function. The proposed transform-based approach uses the Mellin transform that is inherently matched to scalings to geometrically sample the scale parameter and the Fourier transform to arithmetically sample the time-delay parameter. Using this proposed model, and by properly designing the signaling and reception schemes using wavelet techniques, a joint multipath-scale diversity can be achieved over a dyadic time-scale framework in wideband wireless systems. The simulation results demonstrate that, based on the proposed model, performance can be increased by exploiting the diversity intrinsically afforded by the wideband system.

Maritime VHF communications with polarization diversity over a Rician channel

In this paper, we propose a polarization diversity scheme to enhance maritime VHF communications. Multiple antenna systems require an antenna separation of 5–10 wavelengths to keep the correlation coefficient below 0.7 to permit the realization of space diversity. However, this may be difficult to implement in a maritime VHF system, because the maritime VHF is working in the frequency range from 156 to 174 MHz, with wavelength of approximately 2 m. On the other hand, the polarization device technique allows two co‐located antennas by using a micro‐strip technique. For this reason, the polarization technique is a practical method of attaining diversity. However, the theoretical model of polarization is very difficult and complex. Therefore, we express the cross correlation of each polarization antenna and the cross polarization discrimination of multiple polarization antennas with a simple model. Simulations show that the polarization diversity of a maritime VHF system shows better BER performance than that of the conventional reception diversity on the basis of vertical antenna with the antenna separation of 10 wavelengths.

On performance analysis for signaling on correlated fading channels

A general approach is presented for analyzing the performance of digital signaling with multichannel reception on correlated fading channels. The approach is based on: (i) exploiting the complex Gaussian model for the joint distribution of the fading on the multiple channels; and (ii) applying recent results on the unified performance analysis of digital signaling on fading channels using alternative representations of the Q(·) and related functions. Numerical results that illustrate the effect of correlation on the diversity gain from multichannel reception are also presented
