    Minimum Bit Error Rate Multiuser Detection in Multiple Antenna Aided OFDM

    No full text
    In this contribution, we propose a Minimum Bit Error Rate (MBER) multiuser detector for Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) aided Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. It is shown that the MBER detector outperforms the Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) detector, since the MBER detector directly minimizes the BER, while MMSE detector minimize the mean-squared error (MSE), which does not guarantee achieving the minimum BER. When supporting two users, the proposed MBER scheme substantially outperforms the classic MMSE arrangement in the investigated propagation scenario

    Adaptive Minimum-BER Linear Multiuser Detection for DS-CDMA Signals in Multipath Channels

    No full text
    The 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

    Adaptive near minimum error rate training for neural networks with application to multiuser detection in CDMA communication systems

    No full text
    Adaptive training of neural networks is typically done using some stochastic gradient algorithm that tries to minimize the mean square error (MSE). For many applications, such as channel equalization and code-division multiple-access (CDMA) multiuser detection, the goal is to minimize the error probability. For these applications, adopting the MSE criterion may lead to a poor performance. A novel adaptive near minimum error rate algorithm called the least bit error rate (LBER) is developed for training neural networks for these kinds of applications. The proposed method is applied to multiuser detection in CDMA communication systems. Simulation results show that the LBER algorithm has a good convergence speed and a small radial basis function (RBF) network trained by this adaptive algorithm can closely match the performance of the optimal Bayesian multiuser detector. The results also confirm that training the neural network multiuser detector using the least mean square (LMS) algorithm, although converging well in the MSE, can produce a poor error rate performance

    The Minimum Bit Error Rate (MBER) linear MUDs considered are designed for the synchronous downlink of Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) systems, employing Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation as well as 4-level Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4-QAM). An iterative non-adaptive algorithm capable of converging to the MBER solution was developed based on the Steepest Descent Gradient algorithm. A Simplified Conjugate Gradient algorithm was also proposed for the sake of improving the convergence speed of the Steepest Descent Gradient MBER algorithm. Our simulation results showed that the MBER MUD is capable of outperforming the MMSE MUD in terms of the achievable BER under various channel conditions. Furthermore, the MBER MUD is combined with Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding and several coded modulation schemes are invoked for the sake of enhancing the achievable BER performance. Adaptive versions of the MBER algorithm are also presented, which are initialised for example to the MMSE MUD weights and then iteratively adjust the weights until the MBER solution is reached. More specifically, two classes of adaptive algorithms are presented, namely block adaptive and sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms. Two algorithms belonging to the block adaptive category are referred to as the Block Adaptive Steepest-descent Gradient (BASG) and the Block Adaptive Conjugate Gradient (BACG) algorithms. Although the BACG algorithm is capable of a faster convergence to the MBER solution, this algorithm exhibits a higher sensitivity to the choice of the adaptive step size. Hence, a hybrid solution is preferred. Similarly, two sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms were derived, namely the Least Bit Error Rate (LBER) algorithm and the Approximate LBER (ALBER) arragement. Our simulation results demonstrated that both algorithms outperformed the Least Mean Square (LMS), the Difference approximation MBER (DMBER) and the Approximate MBER (AMBER) algorithms m terms of the attainable convergence speed and the steady state BER.</p

    The paper investigates the application of an emerging learning technique, called support vector machines (SVMs), to construct an adaptive nonlinear multiuser detector (MUD) for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) signals transmitted through multipath channels. Computer simulation is used to study this adaptive SVM MUD, and the results show that it can closely match the performance of the optimal Bayesian one-shot detector, using a relatively small training data block
