ANALYSIS OF SPECTRAL PHASE ENCODING OCDMA SYSTEM WITH PSEUDORANDOM CODING

Multiple access interference (MAI) is the most serious interference in spectral phase encoding optical code division multiple access (SPE OCDMA) systems. This paper focuses on the behavior of MAI in SPE OCDMA systems with pseudorandom coding. The statistical expectation of multi access interference (MAI) is derived and plotted. The results confirm that MAI can be suppressed effectively by pseudorandom coding with m sequences.

AN OPTIMIZED SCHEME FOR FAST HANDOFF IN IP-BASED CDMA WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

This paper proposed an optimized fast handoff scheme for real time applications in next generation IP based CDMA wireless networks. The idea is to utilize optimized IP multicasting handoff (based on PIM SM), which is triggered by CDMA layer 2 functionality. An IP based cellular network model with WCDMA FDD air interface and IP based packet traffic is adopted. No special network entities and signaling for handoff are added in our network model. The simulation results show that low delay and low packet lost rate can be obtained.

Equivalent Time-Domain Representation and Uplink Channel Estimator for Multicarrier CDMA Systems

Many blind channel estimation methods have been proposed for direct sequence (DS) code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems, so we can certainly use them to estimate the finite impulse response (FIR) channel for the multi-carrier (MC-) CDMA system. In this paper, the MC-CDMA system is interpreted as an equivalent time-domain DS-CD-MA system with specific spreading codes. Then, an equivalently time-domain blind channel estimator is derived for the uplink MC-CDMA, which is based on second-order statistics of the received data. By exploiting singular value decomposition (SVD) and the finite alphabet property of transmitted symbols, the time-domain channel impulse response (CIR) for the uplink MC-CDMA can be accurately identified. Computer simulations illustrate both the validity and the overall performance of the proposed estimator.

Fitness Landscape Analysis for Optimum Multiuser Detection Problem

Optimum multiuser detection （OMD） for CDMA systems is an NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Fitness landscape has been proven to be very useful for understanding the behavior of combinatorial optimization algorithms and can help in predicting their performance. This paper analyzes the statistic properties of the fitness landscape of the OMD problem by performing autocorrelation analysis, fitness distance correlation test and epistasis measure. The analysis results explain why some random search algorithms are effective methods for OMD problem and give hints how to design more efficient randomized search heuristic algorithms for OMD.

LOW-COMPLEXITY BLIND MULTIUSER DETECTION OF DS-CDMA SIGNAL IN DISPERSIVE CHANNELS

The problem of blind multiuser detection in dispersive channels of Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) in the presence of both Multiple-Access Interference (MAI) and InterSymbol Interference (ISI) is considered. In practice, it is showed that by incorporating the desired user's signature waveform and the auxiliary vector, the information of the user can be identified using the suboptimal subspace method. The major contribution of this paper is to propose a minimum-mean-square-error detector with the suboptimal subspace-based blind technique for joint suppression of MAI and ISI in the dispersive CDMA channels.

Tunable Super-Structured Fiber Bragg Gratings with Perfect Sequences Based on m-Sequence

Recently, a tunable fiber Bragg grating(FBG) was developed by using stress-responsive colloidal crystals. In this paper, we have simulated the application of these nanoparticles into the super-structured fiber Bragg grating(SSFBG) written with perfect sequences derived from a short maximal-length sequence. A tunable SSFBG will be available to overcome the prohibitive temperature variation of the optical codecs. Nevertheless,we presented a method to implement coherent time spreading optical code-division multiple-access(OCDMA) where a unique code(or perfect sequence) can be reused and mixed with different wavelengths to obtain a tunable wavelength-division multiplexing(WDM)system. In order to maximize the binary throughput, we have selected a unique short maximal-length sequence composed of 7 chips that can be tuned with 7 different optical wavelengths. We found thousands of different tunable combinations that presented power contrast ratios(P/C) higher than 12 dB. When a WDM-OCDMA system used 2 different combinations simultaneously, the perfect binary detection with error correction codes was achieved successfully. The tunable SSFBG with colloidal crystals will be a simple and good alternative choice for fiber-to-the-home(FTTH) communications.

A New Family of Optical Codes Based on Complementary Theory for OCDMA System

A new family of optical codes for Optical Code-division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems, named as Optical Complementary Codes (OCCs), is proposed in this paper. The constructions of these codes consist of multiple sub-codes, and the codes have an auto-correlation interference constraint as 0 and a cross-correlation interference constraint as 1. Compared with conventional optical codes such as OPCs, OOCs and 2-D OOCs, the OCC has a shorter code length and higher code efficiency with better correlation property.

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.

The Application of Optical CDMA-Based Fiber Radio Networks in Wireless Sensor Networks

One fiber radio scheme using shifted prime codes for interference elimination is proposed for optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) network. By taking advantage of the cyclic property of the shifted prime codes in the same code groups, the proposed compact decoder is low cost and suitable to be used in the task manager node in the applications of wireless sensor networks. The performance comparison for sev-eral OCDMA-based fiber radio networks is also given to clarify the advantage of the proposed one.

QPSK DS-CDMA System over Rayleigh Channel with a Randomly-Varying Frequency Narrow-Band Interference: Frequency Tracking Analysis

This paper analyses frequency tracking characteristics of a complex-coefficient adaptive infinite-impulse response (IIR) notch filter used for suppression of narrow-band interference (NBI) with a randomly-varying frequency in a quadriphase shift keying (QPSK) modulated direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) communication system. The QPSK DS-CDMA signals are transmitted over a frequency non-selective Rayleigh fading channel. The analysis is based on a first-order real-coefficient difference equation with respect to steady-state instantaneous frequency tracking error from which a closed-form expression that relates frequency tracking mean square error (MSE) with number of DS-CDMA active users and NBI power is obtained. Closed-form expressions for optimum notch bandwidth coefficient and step size constant that minimize the frequency tracking MSE are also derived. Computer simulations are included to substantiate the accuracy of the analyses.

Intelligent multi-user detection using an artificial immune system

Artificial immune systems （AIS） are a kind of new computational intelligence methods which draw inspiration from the human immune system. In this study, we introduce an AIS-based optimization algorithm, called clonal selection algorithm, to solve the multi-user detection problem in code-division multipleaccess communications system based on the maximum-likelihood decision rule. Through proportional cloning, hypermutation, clonal selection and clonal death, the new method performs a greedy search which reproduces individuals and selects their improved maturated progenies after the affinity maturation process. Theoretical analysis indicates that the clonal selection algorithm is suitable for solving the multi-user detection problem. Computer simulations show that the proposed approach outperforms some other approaches including two genetic algorithm-based detectors and the matched filters detector, and has the ability to find the most likely combinations.

Side-Channel Analysis for the Authentication Protocols of CDMA Cellular Networks

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) and code-division multiple access (CDMA) are two technologies used in digital cellular networks. The authentication protocols of TDMA networks have been proven to be vulnerable to side-channel analysis (SCA), giving rise to a series of powerful SCA-based attacks against unprotected subscriber identity module (SIM) cards. CDMA networks have two authentication protocols, cellular authentication and voice encryption (CAVE) based authentication protocol and authentication and key agreement (AKA) based authentication protocol, which are used in different phases of the networks. However, there has been no SCA attack for these two protocols so far. In this paper, in order to figure out if the authentication protocols of CDMA networks are sufficiently secure against SCA, we investigate the two existing protocols and their cryptographic algorithms. We find the side-channel weaknesses of the two protocols when they are implemented on embedded systems. Based on these weaknesses, we propose specific attack strategies to recover their authentication keys for the two protocols, respectively. We verify our strategies on an 8-bit microcontroller and a real-world SIM card, showing that the authentication keys can be fully recovered within a few minutes with a limited number of power measurements. The successful experiments demonstrate the correctness and the effectiveness of our proposed strategies and prove that the unprotected implementations of the authentication protocols of CDMA networks cannot resist SCA.

Multiple access interference suppression for CDMA systems via l_(∞)-minimization

A key problem in code-division multiple access(CDMA)system is to mitigate the multiple access interference(MAI)from other users while detecting the desired user.The performance of the conventional minimum output energy(MOE)multiuser detector for CDMA system significantly degrades in the presence of signature waveform distortions induced by multipath propagation or timing asynchronism.In this paper,a robust linear programming(ROLP)algorithm for blind multiuser detection is proposed.Different from the existing MOE-based multiuser detection techniques,the proposed ROLP minimizes the l_∞-norm of the output to exploit the non-Gaussianity of the communication signals.To achieve robustness against signature waveform mismatch,the proposed method constrains the magnitude response of any signature vector within a specified uncertainty set to exceed unity.The uncertainty set is modeled as a rhombus,which differs from the spherical uncertainty region widely taken in the existing robust multiuser detectors.The resulting optimization problem is reformulated into a linear programming program and hence can be solved efficiently.The proposed ROLP is computationally simpler than its robust counterparts that requires solving a second-order cone programming.Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the ROLP over several robust detectors,which indicate that its performance approaches the optimal performance bound.

The combinatorial construction for a class of optimal optical orthogonal codes

Optical orthogonal code (OOC) has good correlation properties. It has many important appli-cations in a fiber-optic code-division multiple access channel. In this paper, a combinatorial construction foroptimal (15p, 5, 1) optical orthogonal codes with p congruent to 1 modulo 4 and greater than 5 is given byapplying Weil's Theorem. From this, when v is a product of primes congruent to 1 modulo 4 and greater than5, an optimal (15v, 5, 1)-OOC can be obtained by applying a known recursive construction.

New constructions of quaternary low correlation zone sequence sets

Sequence sets with low correlation have very important applications in modern communication systems. As in quasi-synchronous code-division multiple access(QS-CDMA) system, sequence sets with low correlation zone(LCZ) perform better than other well-known sequence sets. Furthermore, binary or quaternary sequence sets are preferred because of their easy implementation. In this paper, based on the inverse Gray mapping and special binary sequence pairs, new quaternary LCZ sequence sets were constructed. In the LCZ, the maximum of the nontrivial autocorrelation and crosscorrelation values is 1 which show that the QS-CDMA system used the new sequences sets can control the interference in a very low level.

Optimal Filtering Algorithm-Based Multiuser Detector for Fast Fading CDMA Systems

A multiuser detector was developed for fast fading code-division multiple-access systems by representing the channels as a system with the multiplicative noise （SMN） model and then using the known optimal filtering algorithm for the SMN for multiuser detection （MUD）. This multiuser detector allows the channel response to be stochastic in one symbol duration, which can be regarded as an effective method of MUD for fast fading CDMA systems. Performance analyses show that the multiuser detector is theoretically valid for CDMA systems over fast fading channels. Simulations show that the multiuser detector performs better than the Kalman filter-based multiuser detector with a faster convergence rate and lower bit error rate.
