Adaptive Biorthogonal Local Discrete Cosine Transform for Interference Excision in Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Communications

A novel time-frequency domain interference excision technique is proposed. The technique is based on adaptive biorthogonal local discrete cosine trans form (BLDCT). It uses a redundant library of biorthogonal local discrete cosine bases and an efficient concave cost function to match the transform basis to the interfering signal. The main advantage of the algorithm over conventional trans form domain excision algorithms is that the basis functions are not fixed but ca n be adapted to the time-frequency structure of the interfering signal. It is w e ll suited to transform domain compression and suppression of various types of in terference. Compared to the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) that provides logar ithmic division of the frequency bands, the adaptive BLDCT can provide more flex ible frequency resolution. Thus it is more insensitive to variations of jamming frequency. Simulation results demonstrate the improved bit error rate (BER) perf ormance and the increased robustness of the receiver.
