EFFICIENT BIT ERROR PROBABILITY EXPRESSION AND VERY TIGHT BOUND FOR MAXIMAL RATIO COMBINING DIVERSITY SYSTEMS OVER RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNEL

Bit Error Probability (BEP) provides a fundamental performance measure for wireless diversity systems. This paper presents two new exact BEP expressions for Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity systems. One BEP expression takes a closed form, while the other is derived by treating the squared-sum of Rayleigh random variables as an Erlang variable. Due to the fact that the extant bounds are loose and could not properly characterize the error performance of MRC diversity systems, this paper presents a very tight bound. The numerical analysis shows that the new derived BEP expressions coincide with the extant expressions, and that the new approximation tightly bounds the accurate BEP.

BER Performance Analysis of Asynchronous NOMA with Arbitrary Phase Offset

An asynchronous transmission scenario for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)user signals with arbitrary phase offset is investigated in this paper.To improve the system performance in the user power-balanced conditions,we adopt a synthetic detection method at the receiver,i.e.,the jointly optimal maximal likelihood detection aided triangular successive interference cancellation(JO ML-TSIC)method.Analytical bit error rate(BER)solutions are obtained for a two-user case with the optimal,intentional onehalf symbol period time delay implemented between the user signals.Furthermore,closed-form BER solutions for the case using the triangular successive interference cancellation(TSIC)detection method are also derived for comparisons.Numerical results show that the JO ML-TSIC receiver for the asynchronous system outperforms the TSIC receiver as well as the synchronous successive interference cancellation(SIC)receiver in all the conditions concerned.The results also show that the superiority of the JO ML-TSIC receiver is strengthened when the signals experience flat Rayleigh fading channels compared to the TSIC and the synchronous SIC receivers.

广义频分复用系统峰均功率比抑制算法

为了降低广义频分复用系统存在着多载波系统中固有的高峰均功率比问题,本文提出了一种适用于广义频分复用系统的子载波抑制高峰均功率比算法。该算法以限幅法为基础,降低了系统的高峰均功率比,但与限幅法不同的是,该算法几乎不会对带外性能及误码率性能造成影响。由于子载波抑制高峰均功率比算法的峰均功率比抑制性能略差于限幅法,因此本文进一步提出将部分序列传输与子载波抑制高峰均功率比结合来进一步抑制系统高峰均功率比的算法。仿真表明:本文提出的算法的高峰均功率比抑制性能与限幅法相同,且不会对系统的带外与误码率性能造成影响。

Analysis on the performance measures confirm that the Turbo + CC code in 4×4 configurations exhibits better performance.

Multi-Bit Sliding Stack Decoding Algorithm for OVXDM

Overlapped x domain multiplexing(OVXDM) is a promising encoding technique to obtain high spectral efficiency by utilizing inter-symbol interference(ISI) intelligently. However, the computational complexity of maximum likelihood sequence detection(MLSD) increases exponentially with the growth of spectral efficiency in OVXDM, which is unbearable for practical implementations. In this paper, based on a novel path metric associating adjacent symbols, we propose a multi-bit sliding stack decoding(Multi-Bit SSD) algorithm to achieve multiple-bit decoding simultaneously in OVXDM. Theoretical analysis is provided for the algorithm, which indicates the relationship between the performance and parameters including multiplexing waveform, overlapping fold and sliding window size. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better decoding performance and higher spectral efficiency than conventional fast decoding algorithms.

BER ANALYSIS OF A GMSK SYSTEM USING DECISION FEEDBACK

There are considerable literatures on the Bit Error Rate(BER)evaluation of DifferentialDetection of Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying(DDGMSK)system using Decision Feedback(DF),butmost of them give the performance based on the Monte Carlo Error Counting(MCEC)technique.Fromthe probability distribution of the phase angle between two vectors perturbed by Gaussian noises,theformulae of BER are derived for the performance analysis of DDGMSK system with DF in this letter.Considering the m-bit dock-tailed sequence,the new formulae of Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying(GMSK)modulated phase and the Time-Varying Signal to Noise Ratio(TVSNR)of the demodulatedsignal are presented,and it is proved that the relationship between the TVSNR of the demodulatedsignal and the size of eye opening is not inevitable.Simulation results show that the theoretical in-vestigation gives analogous results with the MCEC technique.The formulae presented are useful for theperformance analysis of systems using GMSK as modulating and demodulating method,for instance,the analysis of synchronous performance of frequency-hopping communication system.

BER Performance of Finite in Time Optimal FTN Signals for the Viterbi Algorithm

In this article, we consider the faster than Nyquist(FTN) technology in aspects of the application of the Viterbi algorithm(VA). Finite in time optimal FTN signals are used to provide a symbol rate higher than the "Nyquist barrier" without any encoding. These signals are obtained as the solutions of the corresponding optimization problem. Optimal signals are characterized by intersymbol interference(ISI). This fact leads to significant bit error rate(BER) performance degradation for "classical" forms of signals. However, ISI can be controlled by the restriction of the optimization problem. So we can use optimal signals in conditions of increased duration and an increased symbol rate without significant energy losses. The additional symbol rate increase leads to the increase of the reception algorithm complexity. We consider the application of VA for optimal FTN signals reception. The application of VA for receiving optimal FTN signals with increased duration provides close to the potential performance of BER,while the symbol rate is twice above the Nyquist limit.

BER Performance of Space-Time Coded MMSE DFE for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)

In recent times, there has been growing interests in integration of voice, data and video traffic in wireless communication networks. With these growing interests, WCDMA has immerged as an attractive access technique. The performance of WCDMA system is deteriorated in presence of multipath fading environment. The paper presents space-time coded minimum mean square error (MMSE) Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) for wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) in a frequency selective channel. The filter coefficients in MMSE DFE are optimized to suppress noise, intersymbol interference (ISI), and multiple access interference (MAI) with reasonable system complexity. For the above structure, we have presented the estimation of BER for a MMSE DFE using computer simulation experiments. The simulation includes the effects of additive white Gaussian noise, multipath fading and multiple access interference (MAI). Furthermore, the performance is compared with standard linear equalizer (LE) and RAKE receiver. Numerical and simulation results show that the MMSE DFE exhibits significant performance improvement over the standard linear equalizer (LE) and RAKE receiver.
