Simulation results verified the correctness of the theoretical bit-error-rate (BER) performance expressions derived for MC-CDMA systems using these access schemes. Numerical results show that mc access scheme using orthogonal Gold spreading sequences give the best performance, and its superiority increases when the ratio between the data rates of both service class increases. In case when non-orthogonal Gold codes are used, mc access scheme shows a degrading in the system capacity as compared to VSG, due to the presence of larger self-interference (SI) among the sequences used by each high rate user","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

In this paper, we evaluate by computer simulations which gives a better bit error rate (BER) performance lower SF or multicode operation - when high level modulation is used in addition to error control coding. For a coded system in a frequency selective channel, there is a tradeoff between frequency diversity gain due to the spreading of symbols, coding gain due to better frequency interleaving effect and orthogonality destruction. It is shown that for QPSK, the performance of OFDM (MC-CDMA with SF=1) is almost the same as that of a fully spread MC-CDMA system. However, for 16QAM and 64QAM, the BER performance is better for lower SF unlike the uncoded system, wherein higher SF gives a better BER","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

Cooperative networks aim to utilize the available terminals as a collection of distributed antennas for the transmission of signals from one end of the network to the other. This technique is especially effective in providing spatial diversity when having more than one antenna in the transmitter and/or receiver is not practical or cost-effective. Even with multiple antennas available, cooperation amongst terminals could provide additional spatial diversity. In this paper, we investigate a cooperative strategy, in which the transmitter uses a block space-time code. Here, one or more terminals can be designated as partner stations which either re-transmit their received signal after simple amplification or after appropriate processing. We obtain analytical expressions for the error rate performance of the systems considered.

The wireless channel, along with its many benefits, poses a host of challenges for system designers, due to its time-varying and frequency selective behavior. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) addresses some of these challenges at the physical layer. In this paper, we discuss various issues in a practical implementation of an OFDM based system which supports adaptive modulation. A novel blind scheme for detecting inactive carriers, resulting from water-filling or other adaptive modulation, is proposed and investigated. Extensive simulation of the detection scheme, in an IEEE 802.11a framework, shows it to be robust against changes in code rate, data modulation and water-level. Backward compatibility of the new scheme with existing devices is also discussed and detection of new devices at the system level is suggested and described. Overall, the work in this paper forms the basis for a cross-layer approach to the optimization of wireless networks, in which the physical, link and network layers are adapted to system parameters such as buffer state, traffic statistics, and channel conditions","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

There are two carrier phase noise effects in the OFDM receiver. One is the common phase error (CPE) which is caused by the own carrier phase noise, another is the inter carrier interference (ICI) which is caused by the phase noise of all other carriers. The orthogonality of the sub-carriers has been broken due to the ICL So the conventional detection implemented by an FFT and a decision is not the good choice. The optimum detection is based on maximum likelihood sequence estimation. But the computational complexity of the optimum detection depends exponentially on the number of sub-carriers. Multistage detection for OFDM signals is proposed in this paper. The computational complexity of the multistage detection is linear in the number of sub-carriers. The performance of the multistage detection is compared with that of the optimum detection.
