Joint iterative interference cancellation and parameter estimation for cdma systems

This letter proposes a unified approach to joint iterative parameter estimation and interference cancellation (IC) for uplink CDMA systems in multipath channels. A unified framework is presented in which the IC problem is formulated as an optimization problem of an IC parameter vector for each stage and user. We also propose detectors based on a least-squares (LS) joint optimization method for estimating the linear receiver filter front-end, the IC, and the channel parameters. Simulations for the uplink of a synchronous DS-CDMA system show that the proposed methods significantly outperform the best known IC schemes.

On the Optimal Sequences and Total Weighted Square Correlation of Synchronous CDMA Systems in Multipath Channels

We generalize the total square correlation and the total weighted square correlation (TWSC) for a given signature set used in synchronous code division multiple access (S-CDMA) systems. We define the extended TWSC measure for multipath channels in the presence and the absence of the colored noise. The main results of this paper are the following: 1, the necessary and sufficient conditions of the received Gram matrix to maximize the sum capacity in the presence of multipath; 2, the conditions on the channel such that the received multipath sequences in the presence of the colored noise are Welch bound equality (WBE) sequences; 3, a decentralized method for obtaining generalized WBE sequences that minimize the TWSC in the presence of multipath and colored noise. Using this method, the optimal sequences, which achieve sum capacity for overloaded S-CDMA systems, in the presence of multipath are obtained. Numerical examples that illustrate the mathematical formalism are also included.
