Conventional multiuser interference canceling is always done in the uplink. In this paper, a novel multiuser interference canceling scheme is introduced. It can be used in the downlink of the TDD-CDMA systems. The multiuser interference canceling is done through the joint optimization of both the spreading and despreading waveform for different users, instead of the despreading code only. The idea is to take the advantages of exploitation, rather than mitigation, of the multipath propagation effects. In TDD-CDMA systems, the channel parameter of the downlink can be estimated from the uplink. We can calculate the spreading and despreading code by using the instantaneous channel parameters, so they can accommodate to the characteristic of the multipath channel. The maximum receive signal to interference plus noise ration (SINR) criterion is used to optimize the spreading and despreading code. An iteration algorithm is given to create the optimal spreading and despreading code. Numerical results show that our scheme can greatly decrease the multiple access interference (MAI), hence greatly increase the SINR, compared with the conventional spreading code such as Gold code. Numerical results of the proposed scheme assuming different number of active users, Doppler frequency and coefficient estimation error are also given.

In this letter, we propose an adaptive turbo coded modulation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and three power allocation algorithms with transmit power variable over subcarriers, variable over subbands and constant over subcarriers. Our object is to improve the overall throughput under target bit-error-rate (BER). Simulation results show that our fixed power adaptation scheme exhibits a more than 7 dB signal-noise-ratio (SNR) gain relative to non-adaptive turbo coded modulation, and an about 2 dB additional gain can be achieved with our variable power algorithm employed. We also discuss the effect of the number of subbands on throughput performance in our adaptive scheme.

In recent years, the concept of the software radio has been put forward by the international communication society. It is well known that software radio will play an important role in third generation wireless communication systems. But until now there is not an acceptable concept of software radio. How to make software radio be applicable authentically, and how to develop its ascendancy? This paper introduces some new ideas about the key issues of software radio, including software radio architecture and its hardware platform, and it focuses on the design considerations of the hardware platform. Conventional software radio systems use pipeline architecture, which is not scalable and cannot fulfill the inherent requirements of software radios. In this paper a new layer structure of the hardware platform is proposed. It is an open architecture with flexibility and scalability. Then three schemes for hardware platform realization are introduced: bus architecture, switched network architecture, and fat tree architecture. An extensive analysis on advantages and disadvantages of each architecture is given. Then an application example is proposed. The switched network architecture is applied in the cellular wireless communication systems. The basestation is divided into four components according to their functions: antenna, IF, baseband, and control, which are connected by the ATM network. We call this virtualization of wireless communication systems. This will bring great benefits such as fast handoff, easily realization of different macrodiversity algorithm.

Spatial multiplexing (SM) offers a linear increase in transmission rate without bandwidth expansion or power increase. In SM systems, the LMMSE receiver establishes a good tradeoff between the complexity and performance. The performance of the LMMSE receiver would be degraded by MIMO channel estimation errors. This letter focus on obtaining the asymptotic convergence of output interference power and SIR performance for the LMMSE receiver with channel uncertainty. Exactly matched simulation results verify the validity of analysis in the large-system assumption. Furthermore, we find that the analytical results are also valid in the sense of average results for limited-scale system in spite of the asymptotic assumption used in derivation.

A novel multipath diversity scheme used in TDD-CDMA systems is presented. A FIR filter is added in the transmitter, while a RAKE combiner is used in the receiver. The optimum FIR filter problem may be viewed as an eigenvalue problem. The multiple antennas system is also analyzed. Results show that this new scheme can greatly improve the output Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) compared with conventional RAKE receiver or Pre-RAKE diversity system.

Two important lemmas on the determinant of random matrixes are deduced in this paper. Then based on these results, expression for the mean capacity of MIMO system over Rayleigh fading channels is obtained. This expression requires little calculation and is simple and efficient compared with conventional methods, and furthermore, it gives an explicit relation on the mean capacity of MIMO systems with antenna numbers and the relation of mean capacity with signal to noise ratio (SNR). Accuracy of this theoretic formula has been verified by computer simulation.

This letter proposed a linear precoding scheme for the V-BLAST system that requires only knowledge of the statistical CSI; the transmitter does not need the instantaneous CSI. Power allocation on the eigenmodes of the transmit correlation matrix is one way to minimize bit error rate (BER). Simulation results show that the proposed precoding V-BLAST system provides a significant reduction in the BER compared with the conventional V-BLAST systems.

In this letter, a fixed-power variable-rate turbo coded modulation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is proposed and subband adaptation algorithm based on capacity evaluation is presented. Our object is to improve the overall throughput under target bit-error-rate (BER). Simulation results show that our adaptive OFDM scheme exhibits an about 2.5-5 dB signal-noise-ratio (SNR) gain with target BER of 10-4 and subband number of 16 relative to fixed threshold adaptive turbo coded modulation. Moreover, unlike fixed threshold adaptation, with the number of subband decreased, throughput performance is not degraded due to our capacity evaluation algorithm.

A powerful HARQ-based linear precoding scheme is proposed to utilize the flexibility of post-combining HARQ strategy in MIMO communications systems. The scheme selects the appropriate symbols and transmit powers for each eigen-mode to acquire more performance gains. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves about 5.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio gains over original spatial multiplexing scheme at an average bit error rate of 10-4. Furthermore, the gap between the two schemes increases with the number of transmissions.

In time-varying channels, the channel state information available at the transmitter (CSIT) is outdated due to inherent time delay between the uplink channel estimation and the downlink data transmission in TDD systems. In this letter, we propose an iterative precoding method and a linear decoding method which are both based on minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) criteria to mitigate the interference among data streams and users created by outdated CSIT for multiuser MIMO downlink systems. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the impairment of the outdated CSIT and improve the system capacity.

In this letter, we propose a partial minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) with successive interference cancellation (PMMSESIC) method in frequency domain to mitigate ICI caused by channel variation. Each detection, the proposed method detects the symbol with the largest received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) among all the undetected symbols, using an MMSE detector that considers only the interference of several neithborhood subcarriers. Analysis and simulations show that it outperforms the MMSE method at relatively high Eb/N0 and its performance is close to the MMSE with successive detection (MMSESD) method in relatively low Doppler frequency region.

Both macrodiversity and microdiversity can effectively overcome the harmful effect of fading. Much of previous work focused on their benefits to the reverse link in CDMA systems. However, their effects on the forward link are less well understood. In this paper, we analyze the CDMA forward-link capacity with macrodiversity and microdiversity. It is shown that macrodiversity causes forward-link capacity loss since the extra forward-link channels supported by the involved base stations enhance not only the received signal power, but also the total interference. Unfortunately the latter gains more whatever power allocation scheme is adopted. Based on the analysis of the cause of capacity loss, we further present a new transmission scheme, in which some joint control among the involved base stations is made to assure that the signals arrived at the desired mobile in phase and simultaneously. The simulation results show that in the new transmission scheme much higher capacity can be achieved with macrodiversity and the capacity increases rapidly with the number of involved base stations. A comparison of the forward-link capacity with microdiversity and macrodiversity indicates that both types of diversity can bring benefits to the forward-link capacity. However, with macrodiversity higher capacity can be obtained at the cost of complexity.
