    Space-Time Coding for Cdma-Based Wireless Communication Systems
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2002) Taban, Alper; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Multiple transmit antennas giving rise to diversity (transmit diversity) have been shown to increase downlink (base station to the mobile) capacity in cellular systems.The third generation partnership project (3GPP) for WCDMA has chosen space time transmit diversity (STTD) as the open loop transmit diversity technique for two transmit antennas.On the other hand, the CDMA 2000 has chosen space time spreading (STS) and orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD) as the open loop transmit diversity.In addition to all the standardization aspects, proposed contributions such as space time coding assisted double spread rake receiver (STC-DS-RR) are exist.In this thesis, open loop transmit diversity techniques of 3GPP, CDMA 2000 and existing contributions are investigated.Their performances are compared as a means of biterror- rate (BER) versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

    Multiuser Detection in Cdma Using Blind Techniques
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Altınsoy, Eşref Olgu; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    In code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, blind multiuser detection (MUD) techniques are of great importance, especially for downlinks, since in practice, it may be unrealistic for a mobile user to know the spreading codes of other active users in the channel. Furthermore, blind methods remove the need for training sequences which leads to a gain in the channel bandwidth. Subspace concept in blind MUD is an alternative process to classical and batch blind MUD techniques based on principle component analysis, or independent component analysis (ICA) and ICA-like algorithms, such as joint approximate diagonalization of eigen-matrices (JADE), blind source separation algorithm with reference system, etc. Briefly, the desired signal is searched in the signal subspace instead of the whole space, in this type of detectors. A variation of the subspace-based MUD is reduced-rank MUD in which a smaller subspace of the signal subspace is tracked where the desired signal is contained in. This latter method leads to a performance gain compared to a standard subspace method. In this thesis, blind signal subspace and reduced-rank MUD techniques are investigated, and applied to minimum mean square error (MMSE) detectors with two different iterative subspace tracking algorithms. The performances of these detectors are compared in different scenarios for additive white Gaussian noise and for multipath fading channels as well. With simulation results the superiority of the reduced-rank detector to the signal subspace detector is shown. Additionally, as a new remark for both detectors, it is shown that, using minimum description length criterion in subspace tracking algorithm results in an increase in rank-tracking ability and correspondingly in the final performance. Finally, the performances of these two detectors are compared with MMSE, adaptive MMSE and JADE detectors.

    Independent Component Analysis Applications in Cdma Systems
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2004) Kalkan, Olcay; Altinkaya, Mustafa Aziz
    Blind source separation (BSS) methods, independent component analysis (ICA) and independent factor analysis (IFA) are used for detecting the signal coming to a mobile user which is subject to multiple access interference in a CDMA downlink communication. When CDMA models are studied for different channel characteristics, it is seen that they are similar with BSS/ICA models. It is also showed that if ICA is applied to these CDMA models, desired user.s signal can be estimated successfully without channel information and other users. code sequences. ICA detector is compared with matched filter detector and other conventional detectors using simulation results and it is seen that ICA has some advantages over the other methods.The other BSS method, IFA is applied to basic CDMA downlink model. Since IFA has some convergence and speed problems when the number of sources is large, firstly basic CDMA model with ideal channel assumption is used in IFA application.With simulation of ideal CDMA channel, IFA is compared with ICA and matched filter.Furthermore, Pearson System-based ICA (PS-ICA) method is used forestimating non-Gaussian multipath fading channel coefficients. Considering some fading channel measurements showing that the fading channel coefficients may have an impulsive nature, these coefficients are modeled with an -stable distribution whose shape parameter takes values close to 2 which makes the distributions slightly impulsive. Simulation results are obtained to compare PS-ICA with classical ICA.Also IFA is applied to the single path CDMA downlink model to estimate fading channel by using the advantage of IFA which is the capability to estimate sources with wide class of distributions.
