Traditionally, multiple access interference (MAI) in spread spectrum systems is modelled as white Gaussian noise. This presumption is valid when the number of users is large and interference signals have large spreading factors. But the W-CDMA air interface for 3rd generation mobile communication systems supports low spreading factors, high and variable data rates, which make MAI non-Gaussian. We analyze the bit error rate (BER) performance of a downlink receiver in the presence of an interfering user when the Gaussian assumption does not hold any more. The receiver is a maximum ratio combining RAKE receiver. First we study the performance of the ideal RAKE receiver, which has exact estimates of delays, amplitudes and phases of the multipath components. Then we consider the effect of MAI when non-data aided (NDA) and pilot aided decision directed (PADD) algorithms are used for delay and channel coefficients estimation, respectively. It is shown that imperfect power control can significantly affect the BER performance, while practical single-user channel estimation algorithms, such as the NDA-PADD algorithm, behave well also in the presence of non-Gaussian MAI.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.

Due to the problem of code blocking in OVSF-code assignment considered by Minn and Siu, and the different probability of requests for each data rate, the OVSF-code assignment algorithms proposed so far cannot efficiently serve the high-rate requests when traffic load is high. Even though Minn and Siu proposed the algorithm to completely eliminate the code blocking, a system implemented with such an algorithm has a lower number of simultaneous voice conversations than the system with the code blocking problem. To efficiently provide the services for all supported rates, we propose an OVSF-code assignment scheme called the region division assignment (RDA). The performance of the proposed RDA scheme is evaluated by simulation for voice and video sources based on the multiple access protocol in UMTS/IMT-2000.","PeriodicalId":129008,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 54th Vehicular Technology Conference.
