Adaptive multiuser detection and beamforming for interference suppression in CDMA mobile radio systems

Abstract

Abstract-This paper considers the problem of interference suppression in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems over fading channels. An adaptive array receiver is presented which integrates multiuser detection, beamforming, and RAKE reception to mitigate cochannel interference and fading. The adaptive multiuser detector is formulated using a blind constrained energy minimization criterion and adaptation is carried out using a novel algorithm based on set-membership parameter estimation theory. The proposed detector overcomes the shortcomings of conventional LMS-and RLS-type algorithms, namely, that of slow convergence and large computational load, respectively. This is especially the case when strong interferers are present or when the number of adaptive weights is relatively large. DS-CDMA systems can have a relatively large number of spatially distributed interferers. Thus beamforming is based on direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates provided by an approximate maximum-likelihood estimator (DOA-MLE). Unlike previous approaches, the DOA-MLE exploits the structure of the DS-CDMA signaling scheme resulting in robust performance and simple implementation in the presence of angle spreading. The overall method is suitable for real-time implementation and can substantially improve the interference suppression capabilities of a CDMA system.

Robust Multiuser Detection Method Based on Least p-Norm State Space Criterion

“…A k is described in [23]. Given n = 40 and different GSNR, we can get bit error rate (BER) of information bitb d (n) = sign(Z (n)M d (n)) as a function of GSNR depicted in Figure 5 for R-LP-State space, LP-State space, State space algorithm.…”

Convergence analysis of the quasi‐OBE algorithm and related performance issues

“…The potential of OBE algorithms has been realized with developments in wireless communications, speech processing, adaptive identification, short-term statistical classification of signals, and selective state estimation and decomposition. Recent signal processing application areas have included multiuser detection in CDMA systems [49,50], channel equalization [34,51], downlink beamforming in multipleantenna systems [52], line-of-bearing object tracking [53], fast tracking of speech models for phonetic labelling [53,54], audio watermarking [55], and machine learning [36]. Some of these applications have employed QOBE, and the present paper will provide substance to behaviours observed, and lay the groundwork for further QOBE application.…”

Adaptive mixed-norm filtering algorithm based on SαSG noise model

“…α-Stable distribution, a generalization of Gaussian distribution, is better for modeling impulsive noises than Gaussian distribution in signal processing [1,2,14,15]. This class of process has no close form of probability density function and finite second-order moment.…”
