Abstract

The generalized receiver (GR) based on a generalized approach to signal processing (GASP) in noise is investigated in a direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) wireless communication system with frequency-selective channels. We consider four avenues: linear equalization with finite impulse response (FIR) beamforming filters; channel estimation and spatially correlation; optimal combining; and partial cancellation. We investigate the GR with simple linear equalization and FIR beamforming filters. Numerical results and simulation show that the GR with FIR beamforming filters surpasses in performance the optimum infinite impulse response beamforming filters with conventional receivers, and can closely approach the performance of GR with infinite impulse response beamforming filters. Channel estimation errors are taken into consideration so that DS-CDMA wireless communication system performance will not be degraded under practical channel estimation. GR takes an estimation error of a maximum likelihood (ML) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel estimation and GR spatially correlation into account in computation of minimum mean square error (MMSE) and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of each coded bit. The symbol error rate (SER) performance of DS-CDMA employing GR with a quadrature sub-branch hybrid selection/maximal-ratio combining (HS/MRC) scheme for 1-D modulations in Rayleigh fading is obtained and compared with that of conventional HS/MRC receivers. Procedure of selecting a partial cancelation factor (PCF) for the first stage of a hard-decision partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) of the GR employed in DS-CDMA wireless communication system is proposed. A range of optimal PCFs is derived based on the Price’s theorem. Computer simulation results show superiority in bit error rate (BER) performance that is very close to that potentially achieved and surpasses the BER performance of the real PCF for DS-CDMA systems discussed in literature.
