Because these systems employ direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA), they pose unique challenges in equalizer design. In this paper, linear equalization (LE) and decision feedback equalization (DFE) designs are developed based on subblock equalization, in which a limited form of maximum-likelihood (ML) joint detection is used to detect symbols within a subblock. A pseudo-ML formulation is used, treating interference from symbols outside the subblock of interest as noise. This formulation leads to a feedforward filter (FFF) whose coefficients depend on the spreading codes of the symbols. These spreading codes change every symbol period, due to long-code scrambling, requiring constant recomputation of the FFF coefficients. To reduce complexity, code averaging is used, resulting in a code-independent periodically varying transversal filter. Another design is obtained by constraining the transversal filter to be time invariant. Simulation results for the high-speed packet-access uplink show that code averaging introduces a small loss in subblock equalization performance and that interesting gains over conventional LE can be obtained.}, number={7}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={Bottomley, Gregory E. and Wang, Y.-P.

This approach requires a significant amount of computation, and performance is sensitive to errors in the path delay estimates. In this paper, an alternative approach is developed, based on directly estimating net channel coefficients corresponding to an extended set of delays that includes the tap or finger delays of the equalizer. This avoids the need for path delay estimates, improving robustness. Also, the elements of the impairment or data covariance can be expressed in terms of efficiently computed convolutions of these net channel coefficients, even though these elements correspond to correlations of cyclostationary interference.

Equalization is needed when the channel is dispersive. Despite gains from linear equalization, there is room for further improvement. In this paper, we consider two enhancements: block equalization with joint detection and a generalization of arbitration. Block equalization with joint detection, originally developed for non-spread systems, involves jointly detecting symbols from multiple symbol periods and using a feedback filter to remove interference from past symbol periods. Here we extend this idea to parallel symbol streams, add feedforward filtering, and introduce the notion of block linear equalization. Arbitration, also originally developed for nonspread systems, involves bidirectional decision feedback equalization and selection. Here we generalize the arbitration concept to other forms of equalization and improve the selection process using constrained maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE).

We consider a space-time transmit diversity (STTD) scheme using the Alamouti code and a simple switch transmit diversity (STD) scheme in which the transmitter selects instantaneously the best antenna for transmission. Receiver impairment is generally modeled as a colored, complex Gaussian process, which gives rise to temporal and spatial correlations. First, we extend the G-Rake formulation to process a STTD signal, accounting for the space-time code structure as well as the temporal and spatial correlations of the impairments. The performance of STTD and STD for a WCDMA system is then evaluated. We show that STTD improves the coverage of low-to-medium rate services significantly for users at cell edge compared to the scheme without transmit diversity. Such improvements are observed even when the channels already have diversity through multipath and multiple receive antennas. Thus, STTD is well suited for broadcast when feedback from mobiles is not available. For high-data-rate availability, however, using one feedback bit to allow the STD scheme to transmit only on the better antenna achieves significantly better performance compared to STTD. This is because sending the desired signal through one radio channel makes it easier for linear equalizers to restore orthogonality. For mobiles dominated by self-interference due to loss of orthogonality, better equalization results in much improved data rates.}, journal={IEEE GLOBECOM 2007-2007 IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Wang, Y.-P. and Bottomley, Gregory E. and Khayrallah, Ali S.}, year={2007}, month={Nov}, pages={4205–4209} }

Finger placement is typically performed using a path searcher, which estimates the power/delay profile (PDP) of the received signal to determine where signal energy is present. A commonly used finger placement approach is to place fingers at delays corresponding to the peaks of the PDP, with a restriction that fingers he no closer than some minimum spacing. Another approach is to place fingers on an equally-spaced grid of delays. For the typical urban (TU) channel model, we quantify performance of the two approaches in terms of acquired signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and modem bit- error-rate (BER). We show that performance depends primarily on minimum finger spacing and number of fingers. The grid approach performs well when there are enough fingers to collect most of the signal energy. For a channel model in which path delays vary dynamically, we find that the grid approach provides robust performance.}, journal={2004 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (IEEE Cat.

In this paper, an interference suppression technique is developed which uses partial knowledge of spreading sequences to cancel a group of interfering signals. Specifically, knowledge of a complex scrambling sequence is used to project the desired signal away from the interference in the in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) complex plane. A maximum likelihood receiver formulation is used, treating both the desired signal and interference as being conditionally noncircular. A zero-forcing equalization approach is used to preserve orthogonality between signals from the same base station. The development of the technique is based on the assumption that the group of signals corresponds to another base station that does not transmit the signal of interest. However, the technique is also applied to the path diversity scenario (dispersion, soft handoff, transmit delay diversity), in which the group of interfering signals includes a desired signal component.

In this paper, we derive the maximum a posteriori (MAP) bit estimate for DQPSK modulation in non-ISI channels, assuming knowledge of the channel response. The MAP estimator forms a bit log-likelihood ratio, which provides the optimal "soft information" for MLSE or MAP convolutional decoding. Both single and multiantenna receivers are considered. MAP estimation requires exponentiation and logarithm operations, as well as knowledge of the noise covariance. To reduce complexity, two approximate forms are developed which avoid the exponentiation and logarithm operations. If the noise has the same power on each antenna and is uncorrelated between antennas, then knowledge of the noise covariance is also not needed. Performance of the optimal and approximate schemes is evaluated via simulation for single and multi-channel receivers under static and frequency non-selective Rayleigh fading conditions.

The sequence error rate is minimized through joint demodulation of all signals, but with high implementation complexity. Complexity can be greatly reduced through the use of successive cancellation, in which signals are detected and subtracted in descending order of signal power. However, successive cancellation performs poorly when signals have similar power levels. In this paper, an improved successive cancellation receiver for adjacent channel signals is proposed. The conventional detector is replaced with a simple form of joint demodulation. As a result, the receiver combines the benefits of joint demodulation, which works well when signals have similar power levels, with the benefits of successive cancellation, which works well when signals have dissimilar power levels.

Due to the pulse shaping of the PN code chips, tracking multipath delays is a challenging problem, for which we introduce three novel techniques. In the first technique, maximum likelihood estimation, we search all possible combinations of delays and select the set of delays that minimize a metric derived from the error between the received signal and an estimated signal based on these postulated delays. To reduce complexity, we introduce the ordered maximum likelihood technique, in which the above mentioned metric is minimized iteratively assuming that the channel has one path, then two paths, etc. At each iteration, the delay estimates derived from previous iterations are fixed. Therefore, in each iteration only one delay estimate is produced. Another technique presented in this paper is envelope tracking with subtraction. In this technique, we select peaks of the correlation function between the received direct sequence spread spectrum signal and the local replica.

We recognize the importance of the effect of the autocorrelation of the symbol waveform (spreading sequence) in the form of inter-path interference (IPI) on the performance of the matched filter receiver. With the decision statistic as a quadratic form of complex Gaussian variables dependent on the aperiodic code autocorrelation, we perform eigenvalue and characteristic function analysis to arrive at a probability of bit error or bit error rate (BER). For a 3GPP Case 3 dispersive channel and a spreading factor of SF=4, we note a spread of the MFBs of the individual codes of 1.4 dB in E/sub b//N/sub 0/ at BER=1%. Examining the MFB averaged over codes, we note a 0.5 dB difference at BER=1% between this and the MFB with no consideration of IPI. For a 3GPP typical urban channel, we note a spread of 1.1 dB at BER=1%, and for average MFB, there is a 0.4 dB difference from the MFB with no consideration of IPI. Thus we see that, at low spreading factors, the inclusion of the autocorrelation of the random spreading sequence, or the IPI, is an important consideration in obtaining accurate results for the MFB.

The capacity definition includes multiple quality requirements which must be met, such as a blocking probability for new calls and an outage probability for connected calls. The reuse factor and Erlang loading of each cell are adjusted so that all quality criteria are met. However, some quality criteria are exceeded. This makes capacity comparisons difficult, since systems may be compared with different qualities. One of the problems is that the site reuse factor can only take on a restricted number of values, e.g. 1,3,4,7. This paper proposes a practical method for obtaining intermediate reuse values, so that multiple quality criteria can be more closely met. This is achieved by partitioning the total channel set into two subsets, each subset being allocated with a different reuse factor. Such an approach is physically realizable and straightforward to use in capacity evaluation simulations. Also, the approach can be extended to provide a continuum of reuse values. As an example, this method is applied to evaluate the capacity benefit of receive antenna diversity for the American Digital Cellular (ADC) standard.< >}, journal={Proceedings of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC)}, publisher={IEEE}, author={Bottomley, G.E. and Haartsen, J.C.}, year={2002}, month={Dec}, pages={1450–1454} }

The wider bandwidth provides increased multipath resolution in a time-dispersive channel, leading to higher frequency-selectivity. A generalized RAKE receiver for interference suppression and multipath mitigation is proposed. The receiver exploits the fact that time dispersion significantly distorts the interference spectrum from each base station in the downlink of a wideband CDMA system. Compared to the conventional RAKE receiver, this generalized RAKE receiver may have more fingers and different combining weights. The weights are derived from a maximum likelihood formulation, modeling the intracell interference as colored Gaussian noise. This low-complexity detector is especially useful for systems with orthogonal downlink spreading codes, as orthogonality between own cell signals cannot be maintained in a frequency-selective channel. The performance of the proposed receiver is quantified via analysis and simulation for different dispersive channels, including Rayleigh fading channels. Gains on the order of 1-3.5 dB are achieved, depending on the dispersiveness of the channel, with only a modest increase in the number of fingers. For a wideband CDMA (WCDMA) system and a realistic mobile radio channel, this translates to capacity gains of the order of 100%.}, number={8}, journal={IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications}, publisher={Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)}, author={Bottomley, G.E. and Ottosson, T. and Wang, Y.-P.E.}, year={2000}, month={Aug}, pages={1536–1545} }

The Forney receiver uses a whitened matched filter, followed by a sequence estimation algorithm using the Euclidean distance metric. The Ungerboeck receiver uses a matched filter, followed by a sequence estimation algorithm using a modified metric. A unified development of both receivers is given, in which each receiver is derived from the other. By deriving the Ungerboeck receiver from the Forney receiver, we show that the whitening operation is cancelled in the Euclidean distance metric, leaving the modified metric. In addition, the Ungerboeck receiver is extended to the case of a time-varying known channel. When the channel is unknown, decision-directed channel estimation is assumed, which requires channel prediction to account for the decision delay. It is shown that the Ungerboeck receiver requires additional channel prediction, degrading performance due to prediction uncertainty.
