Abstract: Generalized receiver (GR) constructed in accordance with the generalized approach to signal processing (GASP) in noise is employed in direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) downlink wireless communication system with frequency-selective channels. We consider four avenues: linear equalization (LE) with finite impulse re-sponse (FIR) beamforming filters; channel estimation and spatially correlation; optimal combining; and partial can-cellation. We investigate the GR with simple LE and FIR beamforming filters. Numerical results and simulation show that the GR with FIR beamforming filters surpasses in performance the optimum infinite impulse response be-amforming filters with conventional receivers, and can closely approach the performance of GR with infinite impul-se response beamforming filters. Channel estimation errors are taken into consideration in order to DS-CDMA wire-less communication system performance will be not degraded under practical channel estimation. GR takes an esti-mation error of maximum likelihood (ML) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel estimation and GR spa-tially correlation into account in computation of minimum mean square error (MMSE) and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of each coded bit. Symbol-error rate (SER) performance of DS-CDMA employing GR with quadrature subb-ranch hybrid selection/ maximal-ratio combining (HS/MRC) scheme for 1-D modulations in Rayleigh fading is obta-ined and compared with that of the conventional HS/MRC receivers. Procedure of selecting a partial cancellation fa-ctor (PCF) for the first stage of a hard-decision partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) of the GR employing in DS-CDMA wireless communication system is proposed. A range of the optimal PCFs is derived based on the Pri-ce’s theorem. Computer simulation results show superiority in bit error rate (BER) performance that is very close to the potentially achieved and surpasses the BER performance of the real PCF for DS-CDMA systems discussed in li-terature.
A transmitted signaling technique using orthogonal unified complex Hadamard transform spreading sequences is in-vestigated when the GR is employed in DS-CDMA downlink wireless communication system to maintain the ortho-gonality between users and reduce the effect of multipath fading and interference from other users. A general multi-path-fading model is assumed. System performance is evaluated by means of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the GR output. It is shown that the SINR of the DS-CDMA downlink wireless communication system em-ploying the orthogonal unified complex Hadamard transform spreading sequences and the GR is independent of the phase offsets between different paths, while the SINR of the same system using the Walsh-Hadamard (WH) spread-ing sequences is related to the squared cosine of path phase offsets. As a result, the bit-error ratio (BER) performan-ce of the DS-CDMA downlink wireless communication system employing the GR is better than that of the system with the WH spreading sequences at high SINRs. Comparative analysis of BER performances of DS-CDMA down-link wireless communication systems using the GR and Rake receiver, which consists of a bank of correlation recei-vers, with each individual receiver correlating with a different arriving multipath component, shows a superiority of the GR over the Rake receiver both at high SINRs and at low SINRs.
