1	A Low Complexity Cyclic Prefix Reconstruction Scheme for Single-Carrier Systems with Frequency-Domain Equalization Hwang, Ruei-Ran 25 August 2010 (has links) The cyclic prefix (CP) is usually adopted in single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) system to avoid inter-block interference (IBI) and inter-symbol interference (ISI) in multipath fading channels. In addition, the use of CP also converts the linear convolution between the transmitted signal and the channel into a circular convolution, leading to significant decrease in receiver equalization. However, the use of CP reduces the bandwidth efficiency. Therefore the SC-FDE system without CP is investigated in this thesis. A number of schemes have been proposed to improve the performance of systems without CP, where both IBI and ICI are dramatically increased. Unfortunately, most of the existing schemes have extremely high computational complexity and are difficult to realize. In this thesis, a novel low-complexity CP reconstruction (CPR) scheme is proposed for interference cancellation, where the successive interference cancellation (SIC) and QR decomposition (QRD) are adopted. In addition, the system performance is further improved by using the fact that the interferences of different symbols are not the same. Simulation experiments are conducted to verify the system performance of the proposed scheme. It is shown that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the interference, while maintain a low computational complexity. cyclic prefix (CP) inter-block interference (IBI) inter-symbol interference (ISI)
2	Investigation on the Frequency Domain Channel Equalization and Interference Cancellation for Single Carrier Systems Chan, Kuei-Cheng 11 August 2008 (has links) In the single carrier systems with cyclic-prefix (CP), the use of CP does not only eliminate the inter-block interference (IBI), but also convert linear convolution of the transmitted signal with the channel into circular convolution, which leads to the computation complexity of the frequency domain equalization (FDE) at the receiver is reduced. Unfortunately, the use of CP considerably decreases the bandwidth utilization. In order to increase the bandwidth utilization, the single carrier systems with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) is investigated. When FDE is used in a single carrier system without CP, the IBI is induced by the modulated symbols and then the bit-error rate (BER) is increased. To reduce the interference and then improve the system performance, a novel interference cancellation scheme is proposed in this thesis. After FDE, it is shown that interference is induced from the right end of a time domain signal block and most of the interference is located at both ends of an equalized time domain signal block. Based on this observation, the modulated symbols which induce the interference are detected according to the maximum-likelihood (ML) principle and then the interference is regenerated and eliminated. For simplifying the computation complexity, we further propose a successive interference cancellation scheme, which is implemented by using the Viterbi algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves BER performance significantly in SC-FDE systems. In addition, the proposed architecture has comparable BER performance with the SC-CP systems when the multi-path channel is exponentially decayed.

3	Channel Shortening Equalizer for Cyclic Prefixed Systems Based on Shortening Signal-to-Interference Ratio Maximization Chen, I-Wei 11 August 2008 (has links) Considering the communication systems with cyclic prefix (CP), such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and single-carrier cyclic prefixed (SCCP) modulation, when the length of CP is longer than the channel length, the use of cyclic prefix (CP) does not only eliminate the inter-block interference, but also convert linear convolution of the transmitted signal with the channel into circular convolution. Unfortunately, the use of CP significantly decreases the bandwidth utilization. Therefore, to reduce the length of CP is a critical issue. The thesis investigates that how to design a channel-shortening equalizer (CSE) at receiver which forces the length of the effective channel response as short as the CP length. The thesis describes the signal model as a matrix form. The effect channel response after CSE is investigated and then the coefficient of channel shortening filter is obtained using singular value decomposition method under various criterions. We further propose a novel CSE maximizing the shortening signal-to-interference ratio. In addition, it is demonstrated that the proposed CSE has the same performance as the conventional scheme but a lower computation complexity.

4	The Application of Multiuser Detection to Spectrally Efficient MIMO or Virtual MIMO SC-FDMA Uplinks in LTE Systems. Ben Salem, Aymen 20 December 2013 (has links) Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) is a multiple access transmission scheme that has been adopted in the 4th generation 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) of cellular systems. In fact, its relatively low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) makes it ideal for the uplink transmission where the transmit power efficiency is of paramount importance. Multiple access among users is made possible by assigning different users to different sets of non-overlapping subcarriers. With the current LTE specifications, if an SC-FDMA system is operating at its full capacity and a new user requests channel access, the system redistributes the subcarriers in such a way that it can accommodate all of the users. Having less subcarriers for transmission, every user has to increase its modulation order (for example from QPSK to 16QAM) in order to keep the same transmission rate. However, increasing the modulation order is not always possible in practice and may introduce considerable complexity to the system. The technique presented in this thesis report describes a new way of adding more users to an SC-FDMA system by assigning the same sets of subcarriers to different users. The main advantage of this technique is that it allows the system to accommodate more users than conventional SC-FDMA and this corresponds to increasing the spectral efficiency without requiring a higher modulation order or using more bandwidth. During this work, special attentions wee paid to the cases where two and three source signals are being transmitted on the same set of subcarriers, which leads respectively to doubling and tripling the spectral efficiency. Simulation results show that by using the proposed technique, it is possible to add more users to any SC-FDMA system without increasing the bandwidth or the modulation order while keeping the same performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) as the conventional SC-FDMA. This is realized by slightly increasing the energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio (Eb/N0) at the transmitters.
