SS-MC-MA Systems with Pilot Symbol Aided Channel Estimation in the Asynchronous Uplink
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spread spectrum multi-carrier multiple access (SS-MC-MA) systems exploit in a similar manner as MC-CDMA systems the advantages of the diversity gain due to the spread spectrum technique and the high bandwidth efficiency due to the orthogonal multi-carrier modulation. However, the main difference is that SS-MC-MA systems use FDMA for the user separation and therefore are less vulnerable to multiple access interference, and thus are especially of interest for the uplink of mobile radio systems. They allow asynchronism between the mobile users. In this paper we investigate the effects of ISI and ICI due to asynchronism in the uplink of an SS-MC-MA system on the performance of pilot symbol aided channel estimation. Moreover, we consider the suitability of power boosting of the pilot symbols to improve the link performance.

Pilot and data aided channel estimation for uplink MC-CDMA mobile systems
A pilot-aided joint channel estimation and data detection method for uplink MC-CDMA mobile system is proposed. Conventional pilot-aided estimation with low pilot overhead is used to obtain an initial estimate of channel. The information bits obtained from the first iteration are subsequently used to improve channel estimates. The second iteration uses a Parallel Interference Canceller (PIC) sch...

In this contribution, the benefit of applying channel knowledge at the transmitter is investigated for multi-carrier spread-spectrum (MC-SS) systems. Two different MC-SS systems are observed, namely uplink multi-carrier code-division multiple-access (MCCDMA) and spread-spectrum multi-carrier multiple-access (SSMC-MA). The latter system is considered for both downand uplink transmission. Pre-equ...
