A Linear Interference Cancellation Multi-User Detector for Synchronous CDMA Communications

This paper describes a linear interference cancellation multi user detector for synchronous DS CDMA systems under the condition that all spread spectrum code waveforms have the constant cross correlating coefficients. The basic idea is to get the estimation for total multiple access interference (MAI) of all users using a reference code waveform, then subtract the total MAI from the received signal. The structure of such a detector is nearly similar to the conventional detector. The BER expression obtained in the paper shows significant performance improvement compared to the other detectors.

Off-Grid Compressed Channel Estimation with Parallel Interference Cancellation for Millimeter Wave Massive MIMO

Millimeter wave(mmWave)massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)plays an important role in the fifth-generation(5G)mobile communications and beyond wireless communication systems owing to its potential of high capacity.However,channel estimation has become very challenging due to the use of massive MIMO antenna array.Fortunately,the mmWave channel has strong sparsity in the spatial angle domain,and the compressed sensing technology can be used to convert the original channel matrix into the sparse matrix of discrete angle grid.Thus the high-dimensional channel matrix estimation is transformed into a sparse recovery problem with greatly reduced computational complexity.However,the path angle in the actual scene appears randomly and is unlikely to be completely located on the quantization angle grid,thus leading to the problem of power leakage.Moreover,multiple paths with the random distribution of angles will bring about serious interpath interference and further deteriorate the performance of channel estimation.To address these off-grid issues,we propose a parallel interference cancellation assisted multi-grid matching pursuit(PIC-MGMP)algorithm in this paper.The proposed algorithm consists of three stages,including coarse estimation,refined estimation,and inter-path cyclic iterative inter-ference cancellation.More specifically,the angular resolution can be improved by locally refining the grid to reduce power leakage,while the inter-path interference is eliminated by parallel interference cancellation(PIC),and the two together improve the estimation accuracy.Simulation results show that compared with the traditional orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)algorithm,the normalized mean square error(NMSE)of the proposed algorithm decreases by over 14dB in the case of 2 paths.

Iterative Signal Detection Based Soft Interference Cancellation for Satellite-Terrestrial Downlink NOMA Systems

To improve the bit error rate(BER)performance of multi-user signal detection in satelliteterrestrial downlink non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)systems,an iterative signal detection algorithm based on soft interference cancellation with optimal power allocation is proposed.Given that power allocation has a significant impact on BER performance,the optimal power allocation is obtained by minimizing the average BER of NOMA users.According to the allocated powers,successive interference cancellation(SIC)between NOMA users is performed in descending power order.For each user,an iterative soft interference cancellation is performed,and soft symbol probabilities are calculated for soft decision.To improve detection accuracy and without increasing the complexity,the aforementioned algorithm is optimized by adding minimum mean square error(MMSE)signal estimation before detection,and in each iteration soft symbol probabilities are utilized for soft-decision of the current user and also for the update of soft interference of the previous user.Simulation results illustrate that the optimized algorithm i.e.MMSE-IDBSIC significantly outperforms joint multi-user detection and SIC detection by 7.57dB and 8.03dB in terms of BER performance.

Turbo Message Passing Based Burst Interference Cancellation for Data Detection in Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems

This paper investigates the fundamental data detection problem with burst interference in massive multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) systems. In particular, burst interference may occur only on data symbols but not on pilot symbols, which means that interference information cannot be premeasured. To cancel the burst interference, we first revisit the uplink multi-user system and develop a matrixform system model, where the covariance pattern and the low-rank property of the interference matrix is discussed. Then, we propose a turbo message passing based burst interference cancellation(TMP-BIC) algorithm to solve the data detection problem, where the constellation information of target data is fully exploited to refine its estimate. Furthermore, in the TMP-BIC algorithm, we design one module to cope with the interference matrix by exploiting its lowrank property. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of burst interference and approach the interference-free bound.

A new adaptive co-site broadband interference cancellation method with auxiliary channel

With the boom of the communication systems on some independent platforms(such as satellites,space stations,airplanes,and vessels),co-site interference is becoming prominent.The adaptive interference cancellation method has been adopted to solve the co-site interference problem.But the broadband interference cancellation performance of traditional Adaptive Co-site Interference Cancellation System(ACICS)with large delay mismatching and antenna sway is relatively poor.This study put forward an Adaptive Co-site Broadband Interference Cancellation System With Two Auxiliary Channels(ACBICS-2A).The system model was established,and the steady state weights and Interference Cancellation Ratio(ICR)were deduced by solving a time-varying differential equation.The relationship of ICR,system gain,modulation factor,interference signal bandwidth and delay mismatching degree was acquired through an in-depth analysis.Compared with traditional adaptive interference cancellation system,the proposed ACBICS-2A can improve broadband interference cancellation ability remarkably with large delay mismatching and antenna sway for the effect of auxiliary channel.The maximum improved ICR is more than 25 dB.Finally,the theoretical and simulation results were verified by experiments.

Multitap RF Canceller with Single LMS Loop for Adaptive Co-Site Broadband Interference Cancellation

With the development of wireless communication technology,an urgent problem to be solved is co-site broadband interference on independent communication platforms such as satellites,space stations,aircrafts and ships.Also,the problem of strong selfinterference rejection should be solved in the co-time co-frequency full duplex mode which realizes spectrum multiplication in 5G communication technology.In the research of such interference rejection,interference cancellation technology has been applied.In order to reject multipath interference,multitap double LMS(Least Mean Square)loop interference cancellation system is often used for cancelling RF(Radio Frequency)domain interference cancelling.However,more taps will lead to a more complex structure of the cancellation system.A novel tap single LMS loop adaptive interference cancellation system was proposed to improve the system compactness and reduce the cost.In addition,a mathematical model was built for the proposed cancellation system,the correlation function of CP2FSK(Continuous Phase Binary Frequency Shift Keying)signal was derived,and the quantitative relationship was established between the correlation function and the interference signal bandwidth and tap delay differential.The steadystate weights and the expression of the average interference cancellation ratio(ICR)were deduced in the scenes of LOS(Line of Sight)interference with antenna swaying on an independent communication platform and indoor multipath interference.The quantitative relationship was deeply analyzed between the interference cancellation performance and the parameters such as antenna swing,LMS loop gain,and interference signal bandwidth,which was verified by simulation experiment.And the performance of the proposed interference cancellation system was compared with that of the traditional double LMS loop cancellation system.The results showed that the compact single LMS loop cancellation system can achieve an average interference rejection capability comparable to the double LMS loop cancellation system.

On Normalized Least Mean Square Based Interference Cancellation Algorithm for Integrated Sensing and Communication Systems

Integrated sensing and communication(ISAC)technology is a promising candidate for next-generation communication systems.However,severe co-site interference in existing ISAC systems limits the communication and sensing performance,posing significant challenges for ISAC interference management.In this work,we propose a novel interference management scheme based on the normalized least mean square(NLMS)algorithm,which mitigates the impact of co-site interference by reconstructing the interference from the local transmitter and canceling it from the received signal.Simulation results demonstrate that,compared to typical adaptive interference management schemes based on recursive least square(RLS)and stochastic gradient descent(SGD)algorithms,the proposed NLMS algorithm effectively cancels co-site interference and achieves a good balance between computational complexity and convergence performance.

Group-Based Successive Interference Cancellation for Multi-Antenna NOMA System with Error Propagation

Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)is viewed as a key technique to improve the spectrum efficiency and solve the issue of massive connectivity.However,for power domain NOMA,the required overall transmit power should be increased rapidly with the increasing number of users in order to ensure that the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio reaches a predefined threshold.In addition,since the successive interference cancellation(SIC)is adopted,the error propagation would become more serious as the order of SIC increases.Aiming at minimizing the total transmit power and satisfying each user’s service requirement,this paper proposes a novel framework with group-based SIC for the deep integration between power domain NOMA and multi-antenna technology.Based on the proposed framework,a joint optimization of power control and equalizer design is investigated to minimize transmit power consumption for uplink multi-antenna NOMA system with error propagations.Based on the relationship between the equalizer and the transmit power coefficients,the original problem is transformed to a transmit power optimization problem,which is further addressed by a parallel iteration algorithm.It is shown by simulations that,in terms of the total power consumption,the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional OMA and the existing cluster-based NOMA schemes.

With its simple structure, it has good potential for practical applications.

Successive Interference Cancellation and Alignment in K-User MIMO Interference Channels with Partial Unidirectional Strong Interference

Recently cellular networks have been densely and heterogeneously deployed indoors and outdoors to expand the network capacity,and thus the in-building propagation loss and the transmit power diversity of access points will exacerbate link heterogeneity and result in partial unidirectional strong interference.To make full use of the strong interference feature,we propose the successive interference cancellation and alignment(SICA)scheme in the K-user interference channel with partial unidirectional strong interference.SICA is designed to transmit two kinds of data streams simultaneously,the alignment streams and superposition streams.The alignment streams will follow the interference alignment criterion to maintain the optimal degrees of freedom(DoF)performance;the superposition streams are handled via successive interference cancellation at all the strongly interfered receivers to improve the overall achievable rate.The joint transceiver designs for SICA is modeled as a weighted sum rate(WSR)maximization problem,and then can be alternately solved for a local optimum according to the optimality equivalence between WSR and its corresponding weighted mean square error(WMMSE)problem.Simulation results have confirmed the sum rate improvement and DoF optimality of the proposed SICA scheme.

New Parallel Interference Cancellation Scheme for DS/CDMA Systems

This paper proposes a new multi-stage parallel interference cancellation scheme by modifying the conventional multi-stage parallel interference canceller (PIC). At each stage, it first converts the interference-cancelled outputs from previous stage into thea prior information, in terms of which the bit mean values are computed and the multi-access interference (MAI) for each user is evaluated, and then an interference cancellation is performed to obtain further interference suppression. To reduce the implementation complexity, we give an approximation expression for bit mean value. The performance over AWGN channel is analyzed and compared to the conventional PIC. The user numberK=7 and spreading factorN=13 are chosen as simulation parameters. The computer simulation results show that the proposed PIC has better performance than the conventional PIC both with 2 interference cancellation (IC) stages, at bit error rate of 10?3, for example, about 3 dB performance gain is obtained by using the proposed PIC. It is also shown that our proposed PIC with 1-stage is superior to the conventional PIC with 2-stage in performance, which is of practical value because PIC with fewer stages can bring about shorter processing delay.

On Design of Conjugated Transmission Scheme for FBMC/OQAM Systems with Interference Cancellation

Compared to OFDM systems with cyclic prefi x, fi lterbank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation(FBMC/OQAM) system is considered as an alternative technology for next generation wireless communication systems. However, FBMC systems suffer from intrinsic imaginary interference caused by the real-fi eld orthogonality destruction when passing through complex-valued fading channels. By analyzing the transmultiplexer's response of FBMC/OQAM systems, in this paper, a simple conjugated transmission scheme is proposed for FBMC/OQAM systems. Following the specific conjugation design, the intrinsic imaginary interference including the intrinsic inter-symbol and the inter-carrier interference can be eliminated at the receiver side through linear signal processing operation. Meanwhile, the proposed conjugated transmission scheme is able to obtain extra linear combination diversity gains for improving the systematic performance of FBMC/OQAM. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is more efficient than conventional methods, especially in practical application scenarios with large Doppler spread caused by high-speed movement.

Particle filter based stochastic interference cancellation for frequency-selective MIMO channel equalization

To mitigate the effects of the previous symbol decision errors of a decision-feedback （DF） equalizer on the current decision, a particle filter （PF） based DF equalizer for frequency selective multiple-input-multiple-output （MIMO） channel is proposed. On the basis of the analyses of DF equalization for the MIMO wireless system, it is found that a stochastic interference cancellation （IC） scheme can be employed to prevent the error propagation in a severe space-time interference scenario. This is because the random rather than the deterministic scheme can reduce the probability of an error decision even if an error decision occurs. Besides, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio （SINR） based IC order, which is obtained via pilot, can guarantee the optimality of the cancellation. The bit error rate （BER） performance of the proposed scheme is verified through simulation experiments under different multipath interference environment.

This paper investigates the interference cancellation （IC） scheme for uplink cognitive radio systems, using the spectrum underlay strategy where the primary users （PUs） and the secondary users （SUs） coexist and operate in the same spectrum. Joint MMSE-based parallel interference cancellation （PIC） and Turbo decoding scheme is proposed to reduce the interference to the PUs, as well as to the SUs, in which the minimum mean square estimation （MMSE） filter is only employed in the first iteration, regarded as the ＂weakest link＂ of the whole detection process, to improve the quality of the preliminary detections results before they are fed to the Turbo decoder. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can efficiently eliminate the interference to the PUs, as well as to the SUs.

INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION FOR MOBILE DISPERSIVE CHANNELS

A robust interference canceller for Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access(MC-CDMA) using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in Rayleigh fading isproposed. This interference canceller is robust in the sense that it cancels Inter-Carriers Inter-ference (ICI) and is suitable for use in dispersive channels. To come up the effects of the signaldispersion, Doppler shifts and delay spreads on the performance of MC-CDMA systems over mo-bile fading channels, this interference canceller exploits the merit of the orthogonal signaling andpilot signals to evaluate the channel parameters. This interface canceller is well suited to work initerative turbo interference cancellation.

New Parallel Interference Cancellation for Convolutionally Coded CDMA Systems

Based on BCJR algorithm proposed by Bahlet al and linear soft decision feedback, a reduced-complexity parallel interference cancellation (simplified PIC) for convolutionally coded DS CDMA systems is proposed. By computer simulation, we compare the simplified PIC with the exact PIC. It shows that the simplified PIC can achieve the performance close to the exact PIC if the mean values of coded symbols are linearly computed in terms of the sum of initiala prior log-likelihood rate (LLR) and updateda prior LLR, while a significant performance loss will occur if the mean values of coded symbols are linearly computed in terms of the updateda prior LLR only. Meanwhile, we also compare the simplified PIC with MF receiver and conventional PICs. The simulation results show that the simplified PIC dominantly outperforms the MF receiver and conventional PICs, at signal-noise rate (SNR) of 7 dB, for example, the bit error rate is about 10?4 for the simplified PIC, which is far below that of matched-filter receiver and conventional PIC.

POWER CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR MULTICHANNEL COGNITIVE WIRELESS NETWORKS WITH OPPORTUNISTIC INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION

In this letter,an Opportunistic Interference Cancellation(OIC) is first introduced as a rate control strategy for secondary user in cognitive wireless networks. Based on the OIC rate control method,an optimal power control strategy for multichannel cognitive wireless networks is proposed. The algorithm aims to maximize the total transmit rate of cognitive user through appropriately controlling the transmit power of each subchannel under the constraint that the interference temperature at the primary receiver is below a certain threshold. Three suboptimal power control methods,namely Equal Power Transmission(EPT) ,Equal Rate Transmission(ERT) and Equal Interference Transmission(EIT) ,are also proposed. The performances of the proposed power control methods are compared through numerical simulations.

An iterative interference cancellation based frequency offset estimation method for OFDMA uplink systems

In this paper, Moose scheme is used for frequency offset estimation in OFDMA uplink svstems due to that the signals from different users can be easily distinguished in frequency domain. However, differential multiple access interference （MAI） will deteriorate the frequency offset estimation performances, especially in interleaved OFDMA system. Analysis and simulation results manifest that frequency offset estimation by Moose scheme in block OFDMA system is more robust than that in interleaved OFDMA systern. And an iterative interference cancellation method has been proposed to suppress the differential MAI interference for interleaved OFDMA system, in which Moose scheme is the special case of the number of iteration is equal to one. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the performance with the increase of the number of iterations. In consideration of the performance and complexity, the proposed method with two iterations is selected. And the full comparison results of the proposed iterative method with two iterations and that with one iteration （conventional Moose scheme） are given in the paper, which sufficiently demonstrate that the performance gain can be obtained by the interference cancellation operation in interleaved OFDMA system.
