A low‐complexity single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access transmitter

A framework for a computationally efficient single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access (SC‐FDMA) transmitter is proposed in this paper. Compared with a wide system bandwidth, the uplink allocation for each user is supposed to be relatively small because of multiple user access, which makes each user's signal vector to be sparse. When the localized subcarrier allocation is used for SC‐FDMA, the inverse fast fourier transform can take advantage of the sparse user input vector to reduce its complexity. The analytical and simulation results show that the proposed framework can provide a significant complexity reduction compared with the conventional SC‐FDMA transmitter.

COMPLEX CDMA VERSUS FDMA/SCPC FOR LOW AND MEDIUM BIT RATE APPLICATIONS FOR FIXED SATELLITE SERVICES

In this paper, the performance of a DS-CDMA asynchronous satellite communication system, using four-phase sequences with near-optimum correlation properties, is analysed and compared with the result achievable by adopting the FDMA/SCPC approach. The comparison is carried out on the basis of the number of the simultaneous active channels in the network and of spectral efficiency. In addition, a similar CDMA system using four-phase sequences, constructed by means of binary Gold sequences having the same family size, has been analysed, and notable performance differences have been found. In particular, the use of four-phase near-optimal sequences provides an increase of about 50 per cent in the spectral efficiency. This result expands the convenience of using CDMA over a wider set of bit rate values, even for fixed satellite communications. Convolutional coding and Viterbi soft decoding are also included in the system. Simulation results are shown for some values of bit error probabilities of practical interest.

The BER analysis of OFDMA and SC‐FDMA under pilot‐assisted channel estimation and pilot jamming in rayleigh slow‐fading channel

In this paper, the authors derived the analytical bit error rate expressions for orthogonal frequency division multiple access and single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access (SC‐FDMA) in Rayleigh slow‐fading channel for binary phase‐shift keying/quadrature phase‐shift keying/16‐quadrature amplitude modulations under pilot jamming and pilot symbol‐assisted channel estimation. Beginning with the bit error rate analysis from the general case of pilot symbol‐assisted channel estimation technique in Rayleigh slow‐fading channel, the expressions are first modified for different modulations and then further customized to account for the Zero‐Forcing equalization in frequency or time direction with application respectively to orthogonal frequency division multiple access or SC‐FDMA without and with pilot jamming. Piecewise‐linear interpolation is used for its simplicity. The simulation results match perfectly with the theoretical predictions except for some discrepancies with SC‐FDMA, which imply that the generalized equations developed here have to be further modified to account for system‐specific features like discrete Fourier transform precoding for SC‐FDMA.

Integrated Optimal Cell Site Selection and Frequency Allocation for Cellular Radio Networks

Two major planning problems are encountered when designing a cellular radio network. The initial question is where to locate the base transmitter stations such that full coverage is achieved at low interference. This is relevant for frequency division (FDMA) as well as code division multiple access (CDMA) technology. If the locations of base stations are given, then for an FDMA-system frequencies have to be assigned such that there is a sufficient number of channels per cell available at a low total interference level. Since cell site selection and frequency allocation have mutual influences on each other, the ultimate goal is to deal with both problems in a single design step. The main intention of this paper is to model the above planning issues as linear integer programs, and to discuss solution methods for the corresponding NP-hard problems. According to their increasing complexity we proceed from channel allocation via cell site selection to an integrated single setup.     

Reducing PAPR of SC‐FDMA Signals through Simple Amplitude Predistortion

A novel peak‐to‐average power ratio (PAPR) reduction method is proposed for single‐carrier frequency‐division multiple access (SC‐FDMA) signals. The proposed method deliberately distorts the amplitude values of a few of the complex modulated symbols that cause peaks beyond a predetermined threshold in the samples of the output signal. The method then marks the location indices of the distorted symbols by using a pilot block at the transmitter without transmitting side information. At the receiver, the method is then able to recover the distorted amplitude values through the marked location indices. Computer simulation results show that when compared to conventional SC‐FDMA signals, the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the PAPR of SC‐FDMA signals with asymptotically consistent bit error rate (BER) performance.

Iterative nonlinear detection for SFBC SC–FDMA uplink MIMO transmission systems

Single‐carrier frequency division multiple access (SC‐FDMA) systems with space frequency block coding (SFBC) transmissions achieve both spatial and frequency diversity gains in wireless communications. However, SFBC SC‐FDMA schemes using linear detectors suffer from severe performance deterioration because of noise enhancement propagation and additive noise presence in the detected output. Both issues are similar to inter‐symbol‐interference (ISI). Traditionally, SC‐FDMA system decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is often used to eliminate ISI caused by multipath propagation. This article proposes frequency domain turbo equalization based on nonlinear multiuser detection for uplink SFBC SC‐FDMA transmission systems. The presented iterative receiver performs equalization with soft decisions feedback for ISI mitigation. Its coefficients are derived using minimum mean squared error criteria. The receiver configuration study is Alamouti's SFBC with two transmit and two receive antennas. New receiver approach is compared with the recently proposed suboptimal linear detector for SFBC SC‐FDMA systems. Simulation results confirm that the performance of the proposed iterative detection outperforms conventional detection techniques. After a few iterations, bit‐error‐rate performance of the proposed receiver design is closely to the matched filter bound. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
