Performance of asynchronous FHSS-MA networks under Rayleigh fadingand tone jamming

The performance of frequency-hop spread-spectrum multiple-access networks using orthogonal M-ary frequency-shift keying modulation with noncoherent detection is analyzed under tone jamming, Rayleigh fading, and additive white Gaussian noise. A simple Gaussian model is derived for the multiple-access interference giving accurate fit to the simulation results with appropriately chosen correction terms. This approximation is then used to analyze the performance of the network under additional tone jamming. Both cases when the jamming tones fade and when they do not are considered     

Performance of coded modulation employing differential encodingover Rayleigh fading channels

Multilevel coding and bit-interleaved coded modulation employing differential encoding and non-coherent reception over flat fading channels are assessed. To achieve high bandwidth efficiencies mixed amplitude/phase modulation is performed. It is shown that multiple symbol detection only provides gains for multilevel coding as Gray labelling of the differential symbols is not possible     

Convolutionally coded binary PSAM for Rayleigh fading channels

Recently proposed, pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) uses a known pilot sequence to derive amplitude and phase references at the receiver. The authors present convolutional coding for such systems and derive the exact pairwise error probability and the Chernoff upper bound of it. A comparison among PSAM, coherent and differential detected coded systems indicates that, even at 5% Doppler fading rate, coded PSAM requires 3.5 dB more than the ideal coherent case but less than the differential case.<>     

Performance analysis of coded modulation with generalized selection combining in Rayleigh fading

We consider coded modulation with generalized selection combining (GSC) for bandwidth-efficient-coded modulation over Rayleigh fading channels. Our results show that reception diversity with generalized selection combining can conveniently trade off system complexity versus performance. We provide a number of new results by calculating the cutoff rate, and by deriving analytical upper bounds on symbol-interleaved trellis-coded modulation (TCM) and bit-interleaved-coded modulation (BICM) with GSC. All are verified by simulation. We show that our new bounds on TCM with GSC, which includes maximum ratio combining and selection combining as special cases, are tighter than the previously derived bounds. A new asymptotic analysis on the pairwise error probability, which can be used as a guideline for designing coded modulation over GSC channels, is also given. Finally, we show that BICM with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) can achieve significant coding gain over conventional coded modulation in a multiple-receiving-antenna channel.     

Multilevel coded 16-QAM schemes for Rayleigh fading channels

Multilevel codes show better performance compared with trellis codes on Rayleigh fading channels at comparable decoder complexity and bandwidth. However, they suffer from performance degradation due to error propagation in the multistage decoder. The authors, with a view to minimising the error propagation, compare three multilevel coded 16-QAM schemes which are four-level codes, I/Q separated two-level codes and I/Q separated two-level codes with a new set partitioning

On multilevel coded MPSK for the Rayleigh fading channel

This paper presents a new upper bound on the pair-wise error probability of MPSK sequences for the Rayleigh fading channel when channel state information (CSI) is unavailable. This bound is derived by adding weight factors in computing symbol metrics. Simulation results show that the weight factors which optimize the upper bound likely optimize the error rate as well. Multilevel coded MPSK schemes for the Rayleigh fading channel are also devised. Results show that the added weight factors improve the error performance of these schemes in the case that CSI is unavailable     

Performance of coded DS‐CDMA system using reduced rank MMSE receiver in Rayleigh fading channels

This paper examines the performance of a reduced rank minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver‐based direct sequence code division multiple access (DS‐CDMA) system. For such system, when a large processing gain is employed, substantial time is consumed in computing the filter tap weights. Many schemes for reducing the complexity of the MMSE have been proposed in recent years. In this paper, computational complexity reduction of the MMSE receiver is achieved by using the K‐mean classification algorithm. The performance of the uncoded and coded systems are investigated for the full rank MMSE receiver and reduced rank MMSE receiver and results are compared in terms of bit error rate at different loading levels in both AWGN and fading channels. A system with the matched filter (MF) receiver is also presented for the purpose of comparison and an analytical pair‐wise error bound for the coded system is derived. In the adaptive implementation of the receivers, results show that good performance is achieved for the reduced rank receiver when compared to the full rank receiver in both coded and uncoded systems, while in the optimum implementation of the tap weights, the reduced dimension receiver performance experiences degradation when compared to the full rank scheme. Over the band‐limited channels considered, results for the reduced rank receiver also reiterate the fact that higher code rates tend to yield lower BER than that of low rate codes.

Performance analysis of variable rate: symbol-by-symbol adaptivebit interleaved coded modulation for Rayleigh fading channels

A challenging problem for a high-speed data service over wireless is to protect data over the error-prone fading channel in an effective way (high-bandwidth efficiency). We propose a bandwidth-efficient error correction scheme, namely variable rate adaptive bit interleaved coded modulation (ABICM), for the wireless mobile channel. The code rate and modulation level are varied according to the current channel state to exploit the time-varying nature of the wireless channel. Design challenges to achieve symbol-by-symbol adaptation are addressed. In particular, we address the criteria for choosing the family of component codes for the ABICM system. We propose a multilevel puncturing scheme that solves the problem of symbol-by-symbol adaptive puncturing and interleaving. The equivalent distance spectrum for variable rate symbol-by-symbol adaptive codes is introduced and analytical bounds on adaptive codes are derived that enable us to determine the optimal adaptation thresholds. Two operation modes, namely constant throughput and constant bit error rate (BER) controls, are proposed. It is found that there are significant gains relative to fixed-rate coding in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and throughput. It is also found that the ABICM scheme is essentially not degraded when used with small interleaving depths. This makes the ABICM very suitable for real-time applications     

CRBs and MLEs for SNR estimation of noncoherent BFSK signals in Rayleigh fading channels

Crame/spl acute/r-Rao bound expressions are derived for data and non-data-aided SNR estimation of noncoherent BFSK signals in flat Rayleigh fading channels, and maximum-likelihood estimators for the data-aided and the non-data-aided cases are provided. The performance of the estimators is verified by simulation.     

Performance limitation of closed-loop transmit antenna diversityover fast Rayleigh fading channels

Previously, transmit antenna diversity (TAD) has been considered as a key technique to improve the capacity of wireless systems over a fading channel. A type of TAD is closed-loop TAD, which utilizes channel conditions. Closed-loop TAD has a drawback caused by the feedback delay under a fast fading channel environment. If the channel information is outdated due to the feedback delay, the performance can be severely degraded. In this correspondence, we find the bit error rate (BER) of the closed-loop TAD with the feedback delay for a time-variant Rayleigh fading channel. For example, it is observed that there is about 2-dB degradation at the BER of 10-2 when four transmit antennas are used, and the feedback delay is 5 ms with the updating rate 400 Hz

Performance analysis of a convolutional coded DS/CDMA system in Nakagami fading channels

In this paper, we investigate the performance of convolutional coded DS/CDMA with noncoherent M-ary orthogonal modulation operating in a multi-user environment over a slow and frequency nonselective Nakagami-m fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). An expression for the pairwise error probability that can be used to compute the upper bound of coded system is first derived. Performance of the DS/CDMA system with and without the convolutional codes is then presented. We have observed that convolutional codes can compensate for the degradation quite well in multi-user situations over Nakagami fading channels with AWGN. For the case of an extreme fading, however, it has been seen that the convolutional code reaches its limit to improve the overall system performance as the number of users increase. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The given expression is evaluated numerically for selected rate-? optimum convolutional codes together with QPSK.     

Performance analysis of adaptive loading OFDM under Rayleigh fading

In this paper, we investigate the performance of adaptive loading orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) under Rayleigh fading with maximal ratio-combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver. We assume that channel-state information is available at both the transmitter and the receiver. Closed-form expressions for the lower bound on the average capacity of OFDM transmission under Rayleigh fading are provided for ideal MRC diversity. Simple approximate expressions for the average capacity of the Rayleigh-fading channel are also provided for the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) case. In the second part of this paper, a maximum-rate adaptive-loading strategy is derived for uncoded quadrature-amplitude-modulation modulated OFDM. Simple lower bound expressions and high-SNR approximations are provided for the average spectral efficiency of the maximum-rate adaptive-loaded uncoded OFDM under Rayleigh-fading channel conditions. According to the results, the performance of the uncoded adaptive-loading OFDM is about 8.5 dB inferior to the capacity bound at 10/sup -5/ symbol error probability under frequency-selective Rayleigh fading.     

Bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding using constellation shaping over Rayleigh fading channels

We propose to investigate the performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) over Rayleigh fading channel by using constellation shaping (CS). The (CS) is implemented by inserting shaping block codes between mapping and channel coding functions, in order to generate non-equiprobable distribution of a 16-ary QAM signal constellation. Simulation results carried out on 2-bit/s/Hz 16-QAM BICM-ID indicate that is possible to obtain a gain of 1.2 dB at a BER of 10^-3 compared to the equiprobable 16-QAM BICM-ID schemes. It is also shown that, the error floor level can reduced by applying the signal space diversity technique.     

Turbo soft interference cancellation for coded asynchronous ds/cdma

In this paper we propose a Multiuser receiver architecture which removes the Multiple Access Interference (Mai) by means of a Soft Input Soft Output (siso) multiuser detector followed by a bank of channel decoders. The extrinsic information at the output of the channel decoders are used to estimate the values of the interfering bits and the SISO multiuser detector subtracts the vector of the interfering bits from the incoming signal. The resulting vector is then filtered by an adaptive mmse filter to help remove the residual mai. The paper examines the use of such a receiver in the context of a synchronous awgn channel and then we generalize to the case of asynchronous multipath fading channels.     

New cross-Layer design approach to ad hoc networks under Rayleigh fading

We propose a new cross-layer design employing the predictability of Rayleigh channels to improve the performance of ad hoc networks. In addition, we propose a Markov model for Rayleigh channels and an innovative Markov model for IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function. By combining these two models, we derive the theoretical expressions for network throughput, packet processing rate, packet loss probability, and average packet delay under Rayleigh channels. The simulation of the proposed cross-layer design is also carried out. It is shown that the new approach improves the network throughput, reduces unnecessary packet transmissions and therefore reduces packets lost. We also show that there is a close match between the analytical and the simulation results which confirms the validity of the analytical models.     

Iterative decision-feedback differential demodulation ofbit-interleaved coded MDPSK for flat Rayleigh fading channels

A simple receiver structure previously proposed by the authors for convolutional coded M-ary differential phase-shift keying transmission over flat Rayleigh fading channels without channel state information is analyzed in detail. We present a thorough discussion of the iterative decoding procedure, which is referred to as iterative decision-feedback differential demodulation (iterative DF-DM). The convergence behavior of iterative DF-DM is theoretically examined. The analysis supports the observation that the iterative decoding scheme works well for target bit-error rates which are usually of interest. Furthermore, the associated cut-off rate for error-free decision feedback is studied. Judging from this performance parameter, remarkable gains in power efficiency compared to conventional differential demodulation are indicated, while the computational complexity of the decoding remains low. The results from information theory are in good agreement with the given simulation results
