Ant-Colony-Based Multiuser Detection for MC DS-CDMA Systems
No full textIn this contribution we present a novel ant colony optimization (ACO) based multi-user detector (MUD) designed for synchronous multi-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access (MC DSCDMA) systems. The operation of the ACO-based MUD is based on the behaviour of the ant colony in nature. The ACO-based MUD aims for achieving the same bit-error-rate (BER) performance as the optimum maximum likelihood (ML) MUD, without carrying out an exhaustive search of the entire MC DS-CDMA search space constituted by all possible combinations of the received multi-user vectors. We will demonstrate that the system is capable of supporting almost as many users as the number of chips in the spreading sequence, while searching only a small fraction of the entire ML search space. It will also be demonstrated that the number of floating point operations per second is a factor of 108 lower for the proposed ACO-based MUD than that of the ML MUD, when supporting K = 32 users in a MC DS-CDMA system employing 31-chip Gold codes as the T-domain spreading sequence
Ant-colony-based multiuser detection for multifunctional-antenna-array-assisted MC DS-CDMA systems
No full textA novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based Multi-User Detector (MUD) is designed for the synchronous Multi-Functional Antenna Array (MFAA) assisted Multi-Carrier Direct-Sequence Code-Division Multiple-Access (MC DS-CDMA) uplink (UL), which supports both receiver diversity and receiver beamforming. The ACO-based MUD aims for achieving a bit-error-rate (BER) performance approaching that of the optimum maximum likelihood (ML) MUD, without carrying out an exhaustive search of the entire MC DS-CDMA search space constituted by all possible combinations of the received multi-user vectors. We will demonstrate that regardless of the number of the subcarriers or of the MFAA configuration, the system employing the proposed ACO based MUD is capable of supporting 32 users with the aid of 31-chip Gold codes used as the T-domain spreading sequence without any significant performance degradation compared to the single-user system. As a further benefit, the number of floating point operations per second (FLOPS) imposed by the proposed ACO-based MUD is a factor of 108 lower than that of the ML MUD. We will also show that at a given increase of the complexity, the MFAA will allow the ACO based MUD to achieve a higher SNR gain than the Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) MC DS-CDMA system.

Slow Frequency Hopping Assisted MC DS-CDMA using Large Area Synchronised Spreading Sequences
No full textThe family of Multi-Carrier Direct-Sequence CDMA (MC DS- CDMA) systems exhibits numerous attractive properties, which render them attractive candidates for next-generation wireless communications. We demonstrate that spreading codes exhibiting a so-called interference-free window (IFW) are capable of outperforming classic spreading codes, when the interfering multi-user and multipath components arrive within this IFW. The best possible quasi-synchronous timing of the spreading sequences has to be adjusted with the aid of accurate adaptive timing advance control, which has to be significantly more accurate than that used in the lower-bit-rate second-generation GSM system. Fortunately, the IFW duration may be extended with the advent of multi-carrier DS-CDMA proportionately to the number of subcarriers. Hence the resultant MC DS-CDMA system is capable of exhibiting a near-single-user performance without employing a multi-user detector. A deficiency of the resultant system is that the number of spreading codes exhibiting a certain IFW is limited and so is the IFW duration. This contribution sets out to mitigate the above-mentioned shortcomings so that when the users' delays are in the range of the IFW, we separate them with the aid of the unique, user-specific LAS spreading codes. By contrast, when the users roam at a high distance from the base-station and hence their received signal arrive outside the range of the IFW, we separate them using their unique frequency hopping patterns
Ant-Colony Based Near-ML Space-Time Multiuser Detection for the STBC Assisted DS-CDMA Uplink
No full textIn this contribution, a novel Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based Space-Time (ST) Multiuser Detection (MUD) algorithm was proposed in order to improve the Bit Error Ratio (BER) versus Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) performance achieved by the Space-Time Block Code (STBC) assisted two transmit antenna aided fully loaded DS-CDMA system directly employing an ACO based MUD algorithm. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ACO based MUD algorithm enables the fully loaded system to approach the single user performance associated with a second-order diversity gain. Furthermore, the complexity of the improved ACO based MUD algorithm is a factor of 1018 lower than that of the Maximum Likelihood (ML) MUD, when K = 32 users are supported by the STBC G2 assisted DS-CDMA systems employing Gold codes having a length of 31 chips
Performance of Broadband Multicarrier DS-CDMA using Space-Time Spreading-Assisted Transmit Diversity
No full textIn this contribution multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (MC DS-CDMA) using space–time spreading (STS)-assisted transmit diversity is investigated in the context of broadband communications over frequency-selective Rayleigh-fading channels. We consider the issue of parameter design for the sake of achieving high-efficiency communications in various dispersive environments. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional MC DS-CDMA schemes employing time (T)-domain spreading only, in this contribution we also investigate broadband MC DS-CDMA schemes employing both T-domain and frequency (F)-domain spreading, i.e., employing TF-domain spreading. The bit-error rate (BER) performance of STS-assisted broadband MC DS-CDMA is investigated for downlink transmissions associated with the correlation based single-user detector and the decorrelating multiuser detector. Our study demonstrated that when appropriately selecting the system parameters, broadband MC DS-CDMA using STS-assisted transmit diversity constitutes a promising downlink transmission scheme. This scheme is capable of supporting ubiquitous communications over diverse communication environments without BER performance degradation.

Performance of Hybrid Direct-Sequence Time-Hopping Ultrawide Bandwidth Systems over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
No full textThis paper investigates and compares the performance of various ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) systems when communicating over Nakagami-m fading channels. Specifically, the direct-sequence (DS), time-hopping (TH) and hybrid direct-sequence time-hopping (DS-TH) UWB systems are considered. The performance of these UWB systems is studied associated with employing the conventional single-user correlation detector or minimum mean-square error (MMSE) multiuser detector. Our simulation results show that the hybrid DS-TH UWB system may outperform a corresponding pure TH-UWB or pure DS-UWB system in terms of the achievable error performance. Given the total spreading gain of the hybrid DS-TH UWB system, there is an optimal setting of the TH spreading factor and DS spreading factor, which results in the best error performance
Adaptive Minimum-BER Linear Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA Signals in Multipath Channels
No full textThe problem of constructing adaptive minimum bit error rate (MBER) linear multiuser detectors is considered for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) signals transmitted through multipath channels. Based on the approach of kernel density estimation for approximating the bit error rate (BER) from training data, a least mean squares (LMS) style stochastic gradient adaptive algorithm is developed for training linear multiuser detectors. Computer simulation is used to study the convergence speed and steady-state BER misadjustment of this adaptive MBER linear multiuser detector, and the results show that it outperforms an existing LMS-style adaptive MBER algorithm first presented at Globecom'98 by Yeh, Lopes and Barry
Near-Optimum Soft-Output Ant-Colony-Optimization Based Multiuser Detection for the DS-CDMA uplink
No full textIn this contribution, a novel soft-output Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based Multi-User Detector (MUD) is proposed for the synchronous Direct-Sequence Code-Division- Multiple-Access (DS-CDMA) uplink. The foraging behaviour of the ant colony in nature motivates the employment of reduced search ACO-based MUDs, which are capable of approaching the optimum Maximum Likelihood (ML) MUD’s performance at the cost of a computational complexity, which maybe as low as that of the Mathched Filter (MF) based Single User Detector (SUD). However, the previously proposed conventional ACO based MUDs were unable to provide soft Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) values for the channel decoder. Hence in this paper, we present a novel soft-output ACO-MUD capable of delivering soft LLRs, which allows a CDMA system to achieve a near-single-user performance without any additional information feedback from the channel decoder, even when the number of users supported is as high as the number of chip in the spreading sequence. Our numerical results show that at a BER of 10-3, the performance of the currently known ACO-assisted state-of-the-art systems can be improved by about 17dB with the aid of the proposed soft-output ACO-MUD. More explicitly, the soft-output ACOMUD is capable of approaching the optimum performance of the Bayesian detector, when K = 32 UL users are supported with the aid of 31-chip Gold codes, while the complexity of the former is only a fraction of 10-8 of the latter
Groupwise Multiuser Detection in a Multirate DS-CDMA System
No full textThis report presents the performance of groupwise successive interference cancellation (GSIC) within a direct sequence code division multiple access system (DS-CDMA). Within the groups, matched filter and PIC receivers are used for detection of the users. A multirate DS-CDMA system model, based on a single rate system is presented. Although the study of multiuser detection for single rate systems has resulted in several structures, multiuser receivers designed specifically for a DS-CDMA variable spreading factor multirate system are shown to be benificial. Since they can exploit the specific properties of these systems. The bit error rate performance of matched filter, parallel interference cancellation and GSIC receivers are compared in AWGN channel. The GSIC receiver is seen to perform best. The various GSIC receiver variants are then simulated in a Rayleigh fading channel to investigate how they will perform in a realistic mobile environment. Finally the impact of fixed delay is studied.Applied SciencesElectrical EngineeringTelecommunications and Traffic-Control Systems Grou
Measurement of the branching fractions of Ds+→η'X and Ds+→η'ρ+ in e+e-→Ds+Ds-
No full textÇetin, Serkant Ali (Dogus Author)We study Ds+ decays to final states involving the η' with a 482 pb-1 data sample collected at s=4.009 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We measure the branching fractions B(Ds+→η'X)=(8.8±1.8±0.5)% and B(Ds+→η'ρ+)=(5.8±1.4±0.4)% where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, we estimate an upper limit on the non-resonant branching ratio B(Ds+→η'π+π0)<5.1% at the 90% confidence level. Our results are consistent with CLEO's recent measurements and help to resolve the disagreement between the theoretical prediction and CLEO's previous measurement of B(Ds+→η'ρ+)
