At each base station, a K user soft-output multiuser receiver is implemented using the log maximum a posteriori (log-MAP) algorithm. The log-likelihood ratio outputs from the M base stations are combined before a final hard decision is made. This strategy has the ability to simultaneously mitigate the detrimental effects of both multiuser interference and fading, and has the potential to extend cell range and reduce the frequency reuse distance. Simulation results are shown for a time division multiple access (TDMA) network with 3 users and 3 base stations.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

In many cases, nonlinear power amplifiers with power saturation lead to a high out-of-band radiation. Another characteristic of OFDM is the influence of frequency selective fading of mobile radio channels. To overcome this effect coding schemes are required for low error rates, therefore a certain redundancy has to be introduced. This paper presents a combination of an adaptive subcarrier selection as a coding scheme with a new algorithm to reduce the out-of-band radiation, exploiting the non-information carrying subcarriers. The efficiency of this technique is demonstrated by the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

We mainly consider time division multiple access (TDMA) frequency division duplexing (FDD) based systems. Note that in the case of time division duplexing (TDD), under terrain assumptions the downlink channel can be assumed to be practically the same as the uplink channel. On the contrary, when using FDD, the downlink channel can not be directly observed and estimated. That makes FDD based systems most difficult to deal with, although the proposed criteria and methods are general and suitable for both FDD and TDD. Problem formulations are provided for both spatial division multiple access (SDMA) and non-SDMA spectrum reuse techniques. Novel analytical solutions and algorithms are derived, implementation issues are discussed and simulations are provided in order to compare different approaches.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

In making handoff decisions, they do not exploit the relative constancy of path loss and shadow fading effects at any given location around a base station. This information can in fact be used to improve the efficiency of handoff decision algorithms, as we do in our new handoff algorithms using pattern recognition. Handoff decision algorithms with both a negligible number of unnecessary handoffs and a negligible decision delay can therefore be realized. We compare the performance of our new algorithm with the traditional algorithms in the canonical handoff scenario, which has been extensively studied in the literature.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The proposed detector's main feature lies in the joint utilization of the space and time processing techniques since adaptive antenna arrays and decorrelating multiuser receiver are supposed to be used together. The complexity growth is lowered by implementing a multiuser detection technique based on the sliding window algorithm. The DS-CDMA communication system considered resorts to QPSK modulated wideband signals so that a sliding window algorithm generalization is necessary. The simulation results shown here confirm that the proposed structure is near-far resistant even in the worst fading cases. As the sensor number increases a remarkable performance improvement takes place. Besides we show that the proposed receiver allows systems to exploit completely the array introduction while maintaining an acceptable computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

The set of models developed in this work is bound to be extended in the future in order to take into account all new resources and new services. The assumptions made for some models derive from the fact that at present the mobile network evolution is characterised by a high subscribers growth that almost in its totality only generates speech traffic, while in the future the network may radically be modified if a strong impact of data services appears. Such a situation may require the revision of some of the assumptions made. Anyway, it should be possible that only parameters are tuned and the general approach and the model require no modification. Most formulas also are likely to keep their validity. The high value of the approach is the availability of rapid and global results on economical convenience taking into account the last of the fashion of technology and service in the cellular network environment.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

As a channel equalization method a new controlled equalization scheme is introduced and investigated by simulations.

More channels can be added by oversampling and/or the use of multiple antennas. We present the MFB for this model in the presence of colored noise (interferers) for MLSE that employs noise correlation information (that in general may differ from the true one).

This scheme is a combination of parallel and successive cancellation. It is shown that both the single-stage and multistage linear HIC can be expressed as a one-shot linear matrix filter on the received chip-matched filtered signal vector. It is proved that if the linear HIC converges, it will converge to the decorrelating detector. The eigenvalue conditions for the convergence of the multistage schemes are then derived. It is shown by simulation that the linear HIC with four or more groups at every stage can converge. When there are only two groups, however, the detector may not always converge. In this case, a weighted cancellation structure is suggested to ensure convergence. Simulation results show that if the detector converges, the minimum BER is generally obtained before the convergence is achieved, and that the weighted structure has smaller minimum BER than the non-weighted one.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.
