Adaptive space-time reduced-rank estimation based on diversity-combined decimation and interpolation applied to interference suppression in CDMA systems

An adaptive low-complexity space-time reduced-rank processor is proposed for interference suppression in asynchronous DS code division multiple access (CDMA) systems based on a diversity-combined decimation and interpolation method. The novel design approach for the processor employs an iterative procedure to jointly optimise the interpolation, decimation and estimation tasks for reduced-rank parameter estimation. Joint iterative least squares design parameter estimators are described and low-complexity adaptive recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms for the proposed structure are developed. To design the decimation unit, the optimal decimation scheme based on the counting principle is presented and lowcomplexity decimation structures are proposed. Linear space-time receivers with antenna arrays based on the proposed reduced-rank processor are then presented and investigated to mitigate multi-access interference and intersymbol interference in an asynchronous DS-CDMA system uplink scenario. An analysis of the convergence properties of the proposed space-time processor is carried out and analytical expressions are derived to predict the mean squared error performance of the proposed processor with RLS algorithms. Simulations show that the proposed processor outperforms the best known reduced-rank schemes at substantially lower complexity.     

Space-Time Adaptive MMSE Multiuser Decision Feedback Detectors With Multiple-Feedback Interference Cancellation for CDMA Systems

In this paper, we propose a novel space-time minimum mean square error (MMSE) decision feedback (DF) detection scheme for direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems with multiple receive antennas, which employs multiple-parallel-feedback (MPF) branches for interference cancellation. The proposed space-time receiver is then further combined with cascaded DF stages to mitigate the deleterious effects of error propagation for uncoded schemes. To adjust the parameters of the receiver, we also present modified adaptive stochastic gradient (SG) and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms that automatically switch to the best-available interference cancellation feedback branch and jointly estimate the feedforward and feedback filters. The performance of the system with beamforming and diversity configurations is also considered. Simulation results for an uplink scenario with uncoded systems show that the proposed space-time MPF-DF detector outperforms existing schemes such as linear, parallel DF (P-DF), and successive DF (S-DF) receivers in terms of bit error rate (BER) and achieves a substantial capacity increase in terms of the number of users, compared with the existing schemes. We also derive the expressions for MMSE achieved by the analyzed DF structures, including the novel scheme, with imperfect and perfect feedback and expressions of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for the beamforming and diversity configurations with linear receivers.     

Efficient adaptive receivers for joint equalization and interference cancellation in multiuser space-time block-coded systems

This paper develops low-complexity adaptive receivers for space-time block-coded (STBC) transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. The receivers are useful for equalization purposes for single user transmissions and for joint equalization and interference cancellation for multiuser transmissions. The receivers exploit the rich code structure of STBC codes in order to deliver recursive-least-squares (RLS) performance at least-mean-squares (LMS) complexity. Besides reduced complexity, the proposed adaptive receivers also lower system overhead requirements.     

An adaptive CMMSE receiver for space-time block-coded CDMA systems in frequency-selective fading channels

A technique that can suppress multiple-access interference (MAI) in space-time block-coded (STBC) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems is developed. The proposed scheme, called a constrained minimum mean square error (CMMSE) receiver, is an extension of the CMMSE receiver for a single-input-single-output system to MIMO systems. It is shown that the complexity of the proposed CMMSE receiver is almost independent of the number of transmitter antennas. The advantage of the proposed receiver over the existing receivers for STBC CDMA systems is demonstrated by comparing the closed-form expressions of the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio and simulated bit error rates. The results indicate that the proposed CMMSE receiver can provide a significant performance improvement over the conventional receivers and that the gain achieved by suppressing the MAI can be larger than that from increasing the transmitter or receiver diversity.

A Multiple Input-Multiple Output (MIMO) Adaptive Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) with Cancellation for Wideband Space-Time Communications

A new receiver structure able to deliver high data rates in a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) frequency selective wireless environment is proposed and investigated in this paper. The optimal solution for the finite-length MIMO decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with cancellation is derived and used to illustrate the potential of this architecture for space-time communications. LMS and RLS adaptive algorithms are also presented for the MIMO architecture. The convergence and performance of these adaptive algorithms is analyzed through simulation results. The proposed adaptive solutions do not require channel identification, are less computationally intensive than their optimal solution counterpart, and allow the proposed MIMO receiver to seamlessly adapt to channel changes.     

Adaptive step-size algorithms for blind interference suppression inDS/CDMA systems

This paper develops adaptive step-size blind LMS algorithms and adaptive forgetting factor blind RLS algorithms for code-aided suppression of multiple access interference (MAI) and narrowband interference (NBI) in DS/CDMA systems. These algorithms optimally adapt both the step size (forgetting factor) and the weight vector of the blind linear multiuser detector using the received measurements. Simulations are provided to compare the proposed algorithms with previously studied blind RLS and blind LMS algorithms. They show that the adaptive step-size blind LMS algorithm and adaptive forgetting factor blind RLS algorithm field significant improvements over the standard blind LMS algorithm and blind RLS algorithm in dynamic environments where the number of interferers are time-varying     

SINR maximizing space-time filtering for asynchronous DS-CDMA

Direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) is a core technology for wireless access that is proposed for future generation (3G) mobile and personal communication systems. The use of a base-station antenna array is strongly endorsed in these systems, because of its capabilities of filtering out the interference in the space domain. This paper considers space-time one shot single user receivers for DS-CDMA, based on a multiple input single output time invariant linear filter. The optimization of the filter response is performed jointly in the space and time domains yielding maximal signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. Using this framework, a space-time noise whitening matched filter (ST-NWMF) for DS-CDMA demodulation is introduced. It is shown that combined spatio-temporal filtering, taking advantage of the fact that the multiple access interference is colored in the space as well as time domains, can reduce the effects of strong interference components and improves the performance. Simpler suboptimal space-time linear receivers, consisting of a single temporal LT filter following the antenna array, are also considered. It is shown that such a filter approaches the ST-NWMF in the limit, when the M chip waveform has a flat spectrum with no excess bandwidth and N the observation interval is infinite. These schemes, optimal as well as suboptimal, for large observation intervals are suitable also for DS-CDMA systems employing long sequence spreading     

基于BP神经网络的空时分组码识别算法

An improved blind adaptive MMSE receiver for fast fading DS-CDMAchannels

Blind adaptive minimum mean-squared errors (MMSE) receivers for multiuser direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems that assume knowledge of the steering vector, i.e., the cross-correlation between the desired output and the input signal, are known for their robustness against channel fading as they do not attempt to explicitly track the channel of the user of interest. However, these receivers often have higher excess mean squared error and, hence, poorer performance than training-sequence based adaptive MMSE receivers. In this paper, an improved correlation matrix estimation scheme for blind adaptive MMSE receivers is provided. The new scheme takes advantage of the fact that the desired linear receiver can be expressed as a function of the interference correlation matrix only, rather than the total data correlation matrix. A theoretical analysis is performed for the flat fading case which predicts that the new estimation scheme will result in significant performance improvement. Blind adaptive MMSE receivers with the new estimation scheme appear to achieve performance comparable to the training-sequence based adaptive MMSE receivers. Detailed computer simulations for the fast multipath fading environment verify that the proposed scheme yields strong performance gains over previous methods     

Space-Time Blind Multiuser Detection for Multiuser DS-CDMA and Oversampled Systems

Novel space-time blind multiuser detection method for multiuser DS-CDMA and oversampled systems is presented. To achieve signal recovery, Khatri-Rao product structure of the space-time channel matrix of received signals and rank-1 projection strategy are exploited. Two blind signal detection algorithms based on Khatri-Rao product decomposition are proposed. Uniqueness of the Khatri-Rao decomposition is discussed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms have performance close to the non-blind Zero Forcing algorithm and still work well in the case of only few antennae in the receiving end.

A new subspace method for blind estimation of selective MIMO‐STBC channels

In this paper, a new technique for the blind estimation of frequency and/or time‐selective multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) channels under space‐time block coding (STBC) transmissions is presented. The proposed method relies on a basis expansion model (BEM) of the MIMO channel, which reduces the number of parameters to be estimated, and includes many practical STBC‐based transmission scenarios, such as STBC‐orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), space‐frequency block coding (SFBC), time‐reversal STBC, and time‐varying STBC encoded systems. Inspired by the unconstrained blind maximum likelihood (UML) decoder, the proposed criterion is a subspace method that efficiently exploits all the information provided by the STBC structure, as well as by the reduced‐rank representation of the MIMO channel. The method, which is independent of the specific signal constellation, is able to blindly recover the MIMO channel within a small number of available blocks at the receiver side. In fact, for some particular cases of interest such as orthogonal STBC‐OFDM schemes, the proposed technique blindly identifies the channel using just one data block. The complexity of the proposed approach reduces to the solution of a generalized eigenvalue (GEV) problem and its computational cost is linear in the number of sub‐channels. An identifiability analysis and some numerical examples illustrating the performance of the proposed algorithm are also provided. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

MC‐CDMA MIMO systems with quasi‐orthogonal space–time block codes: Channel estimation and multiuser detection

This paper investigates blind channel estimation and multiuser detection for quasi‐synchronous multi‐carrier code‐division multiple‐access (MC‐CDMA) multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) systems with quasi‐orthogonal space–time block codes (QO‐STBC). Subspace‐based blind channel estimation is proposed by considering a QO‐STBC scheme that involves four transmit antennas and multiple receive antennas. Based on the first‐order perturbation theory, the mean square error of the channel estimation is derived. With the estimated channel coefficients, we employ minimum output energy and eigenspace receivers for symbol detection. Using the QO‐STBC coding property, the weight analyses are performed to reduce the computational complexity of the system. In addition, the forward–backward averaging technique is presented to enhance the performance of multiuser detection. Numerical simulations are given to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed channel estimation methods and symbol detection techniques. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blind adaptive code-constrained constant modulus algorithms for CDMA interference suppression in multipath channels

A code-constrained constant modulus (CCM) design criterion for linear receivers is investigated for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) in multipath channels based on constrained optimization techniques. A computationally efficient recursive least squares (RLS) type algorithm for jointly estimating the parameters of the channel and the receiver is developed in order to suppress multiaccess (MAI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI). An analysis of the method examines its convergence properties and simulations under nonstationary environments show that the novel algorithms outperform existent techniques.

Linear space-time multiuser detection for multipath CDMA channels

We consider the problem of detecting synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) signals in multipath channels that result in multiple access interference (MAI). It is well known that such challenging conditions may create severe near-far situations in which the standard techniques of combined power control and temporal single-user RAKE receivers provide poor performance. To address the shortcomings of the RAKE receiver, multiple antenna receivers combining space-time processing with multiuser detection have been proposed in the literature. Specifically, a space-time detector based on minimizing the mean-squared output between the data stream and the linear combiner output has shown great potential in achieving good near-far performance with much less complexity than the optimum space-time multiuser detector. Moreover, this space-time minimum mean-squared error (ST-MMSE) multiuser detector has the additional advantage of being well suited for adaptive implementation. We propose novel trained and blind adaptive algorithms based on stochastic gradient techniques, which are shown to approximate the ST-MMSE solution without requiring knowledge of the channel. We show that these linear space-time detectors can potentially provide significant capacity enhancements (up to one order of magnitude) over the conventional temporal single-user RAKE receiver
