PIC-MF-based Iterative Receiver for Multiuser Space Frequency Block Coding Systems

A novel low-complexity iterative receiver for multiuser space frequency block coding (SFBC) system was proposed in this paper. Unlike the conventional linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector, which requires matrix inversion at each iteration, the soft-in soft-out (SISO) detector is simply a parallel interference cancellation (PIC)-matched filter (MF) operation. The probability density function (PDF) of PIC-MF detector output is approximated as Gaussian, whose variance is calculated with a priori information fed back from the channel decoder. With this approximation, the log likelihood ratios (LLRs) of transmitted bits are under-estimated. Then the LLRs are multiplied by a constant factor to achieve a performance gain. The constant factor is optimized according to extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart of the SISO detector. Simulation results show that the proposed iterative receiver can significantly improve the system performance and converge to the matched filter bound (MFB) with low computational complexity at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

BLIND DIFFERENTIAL ADAPTIVE MULTIUSER DETECTION

IntroductionThe problem of combating multi- access interfer-ence ( MAI) in CDMA systems has receivedgreat attention recently[1～ 3] . In Ref. [4 ] ,M.Honig employed a blind adaptive multiuser de-tector based on the minimization of mean- out-put- energy( MOE) to overcome MAI,and itre-quired no more knowledge than did the conven-tional single- user receiver.Surplus energy wasemployed to suppress the effects of multi- accessinterference and thus provided an optimal detec-tion solution.

Joint dirty paper coding and linear receiver design for multiuser MIMO broadcast channels

A multiuser multiple input multiple output （MIMO） broadcast scheme was proposed through applying dirty paper coding （DPC） at the transmitter and linear equalization at the receiver. Assuming single data stream communication for each user, joint transmitter and linear receiver design were done to enhance the system performance. Furthermore, a multiuser scheduling algorithm was presented to exploit multiuser diversity when the number of the users is larger than that of transmit antennas. The proposed system achieves the sum rate close to the Sato bound and is superior to some of the existing schemes.     

Soft-PIC multiuser detection in MC-CDMA uplink system

It is necessary for an MC-CDMA uplink receiver to employ MUD （ multiuser detection） in a frequency selective fading channel. After analyzing the algorithm of PIC（ parallel interference cancellation） MUD, a novel MUD scheme, Soft-PIC （soft parallel interference cancellation） is proposed. Based on the reliability of each detected user signal in the former stage, this Soft-PIC detection scheme substitutes a soft decision of the variable for the hard decision in PIC scheme. Compared with the PIC scheme, it can reconstruct the interference signals more accurately and eliminate MAI（multiple access interference） in a more efficient way. PIC is one of the most practical schemes in numerous multiuser detection technologies. However, Soft-PIC as an improved PIC scheme deserves further study.     

Lattice-basis reduction precoding based on successive interference cancellation design for multiuser MIMO downlink system

Two kinds of lattice-basis reduction precoding schemes based on successive interference cancellation are proposed. The successive interference cancellation (SIC) structure can be obtained by either orthogonal and a right triangular matrix (QR) decomposition, or the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space Time (VBLAST) algorithm which provides optimal user ordering. Moreover, the extended channel approach is applied to the proposed SICbased schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can achieve comparable BER performance to vector precoding (VP).
