Abstract

As the number of mobile users and video traffics grow explosively, the data rate demands increase tremendously. To improve the spectral efficiency, the spectrum are reused inter cell or intra cell, such as the ultra dense network with multi-cell or the cellular network with Device-to-Device communications, where the co-channel interferences are brought and needs to be suppressed. According to the time-frequency energy sensing to the communication signals, the desired signal and the interference signal have different energy concentration areas on the time frequency plane, which provide opportunities to suppress the co-channel interference with time varying filter. This paper analyzes the time-frequency distributions of the Gaussian pulse shaping signals, discusses the effect of the analyzing window length on the time-frequency resolution, exploits the equivalence between the time frequency analysis at the baseband and at the radio front end, and finally reveals the advantages of the proposed masking threshold constrained time varying filter based co-channel interference mitigation method. The pass region for the linear time varying filter is generated according to the time-varying energy characteristics of the I/Q separated 4-QAM pulse shaping signals, where the optimum masking threshold is obtained by the optimum-BER criterion. The proposed co-channel interference suppression method is evaluated in aspect of BER performance, and simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing methods with low-pass or band-pass filters.

Highlights

  • With the development of mobile internet, the wireless data transmission rate demands increase rapidly [1]

  • It validates the equivalence of the time frequency distribution of the baseband signal and the RF signal, even if the truncated length is not integer multiple of the carrier cycle

  • If the energy center of the co-channel interference is located at the edge of the desired signal’s symbol period, the interference could be suppressed by the time varying filter of which the pass region is generated according to the energy distribution of the desired signal

Summary

Introduction

With the development of mobile internet, the wireless data transmission rate demands increase rapidly [1]. The Gaussian pulse shaping signal is analyzed by Choi-Williams time frequency analysis which has good cross-term suppression characteristics [12] It shows that the signal has a time-varying spectrum, i.e., the signal’s bandwidth is not constant, but varies with time in the passband.
