Abstract:
Wideband Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) is the emerging protocol for the next generation (3G) wireless communication systems. W-CDMA has been designed to add features such as multimedia capabilities, high data rates and multi-rate services to the existing wireless communication framework. Several standards for third generation systems have been proposed and developed by different industrial committees in countries such as the U.S, Europe and Japan. All these standards have accepted CDMA in one form or another as the multiple access method for wireless communications requirements. In this work, we study the implementation issues involved for one of the proposed Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution Coding (RCPC) to increase information rate in WCDMA, the detection algorithms for base-stations. It was found that these proposed algorithms for detection have different processing and precision requirements. In the rate compatible punctured convolution from each coded symbol some of the bits are punctured in order to achieve the higher information rate. At the same time decoding becomes quite easy even if some of the bits from the coded symbol are not available. We have written these algorithms for a single user at ideal conditions based on theory but not practically.

Abstract:
The development of 3G (the 3rd generation telecommunication) value-added services brings higher requirements of Quality of Service (QoS). Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is one of three 3G standards, and enhancement of QoS for WCDMA Core Network (CN) becomes more and more important for users and carriers. The dissertation focuses on enhancement of QoS for WCDMA CN. The purpose is to realize the DiffServ (Differentiated Services) model of QoS for WCDMA CN. Based on the parallelism characteristic of Network Processors (NPs), the NP programming model is classified as Pool of Threads (POTs) and Hyper Task Chaining (HTC). In this study, an integrated programming model that combines both of the two models was designed. This model has highly efficient and flexible features, and also solves the problems of sharing conflicts and packet ordering. We used this model as the programming model to realize DiffServ QoS for WCDMA CN. The realization mechanism of the DiffServ model mainly consists of buffer management, packet scheduling and packet classification algorithms based on NPs. First, we proposed an adaptive buffer management algorithm called Packet Adaptive Fair Dropping (PAFD), which takes into consideration of both fairness and throughput, and has smooth service curves. Then, an improved packet scheduling algorithm called Priority-based Weighted Fair Queuing (PWFQ) was introduced to ensure the fairness of packet scheduling and reduce queue time of data packets. At the same time, the delay and jitter are also maintained in a small range. Thirdly, a multi-dimensional packet classification algorithm called Classification Based on Network Processors (CBNPs) was designed. It effectively reduces the memory access and storage space, and provides less time and space complexity. Lastly, an integrated hardware and software system of the DiffServ model of QoS for WCDMA CN was proposed. It was implemented on the NP IXP2400. According to the corresponding experiment results, the proposed system significantly enhanced QoS for WCDMA CN. It extensively improves consistent response time, display distortion and sound image synchronization, and thus increases network efficiency and saves network resource.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
The Wideband Code Division Multiple Access is a third generation air interface, initiated in European Union research projects at the start of the 1990s. The standard emerged by the end of 1999 as part of the 3GPP standardization process. It was designed to support multiple simultaneous services with high quality services through an increased data rate. This research examines the properties and parameters of the WCDMA system to determine the feasibility of intercepting and exploiting this technology with known assets. It explores this possibility by looking at link analysis, adaptive antennas and co-channel interference canceling techniques to determine if the interception of WCDMA signals is possible.

Abstract:
With high date rates using Enhanced Uplink (EUL), a conventional signal to interference ratio (SIR) based power control algorithm may lead to a power rush due to self interference or incompatible SIR target [2]. Time division (TD) scheduling in Wideband Code Division Multiplex Access (WCDMA) is considered to be a key feature in achieving high user data rates. Unfortunately, power oscillation/peak is observed in time division multiplexing (TDM) at the transition between active and inactive transmission time intervals [1]. Therefore there is a need to revisit power control algorithms for different time division scheduling scenarios. The objective of power control in the context of this study is to minimize the required rise over thermal noise (RoT) for a given data rate, subject to the constraint that the physical layer control channel quality is sufficient (assuming that the dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) SIR should not go below 3dB with a probability of at most 5%). Another goal is to minimize the local oscillation in power (power peaks) that may occur, for example due to transitions between active and inactive transmission time intervals. The considered hybrid power control schemes are: (1) non-parametric Generalized rake receiver SIR (GSIR) Inner Loop Power Control (ILPC) during active transmission time intervals + Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) ILPC during inactive transmission time intervals and (2) RSCP ILPC during active transmission time intervals + GSIR ILPC during inactive transmission time intervals. Both schemes are compared with pure GSIR and pure RSCP ILPC. Link level simulations with multiple users connected to a single cell show that: The power peak problem is obviously observed in GSIR + GSIR transmit power control (TPC), but in general it performs well in all time division scenarios studied. GSIR outperforms other TPC methods in terms of RoT, especially in the TU channel model. This is because it is good in combating instantaneously changed fading and accurately estimates SIR. Among all TPC methods presented, GSIR + GSIR TPC is best in maintaining the quality of the DPCCH channel. No power rush is observed when using GSIR + GSIR TPC. RSCP + RSCP eliminates the power peak problem and outperforms other TPC methods presented under the 3GPP Pedestrial A (pedA) 3km/h channel in terms of RoT. However, in general it is worse in maintaining the control channel’s quality than GSIR + GSIR TPC. GSIR + RSCP ILPC eliminates the power peak problem and out-performs GSIR power control in the scenario of 2 and 4 TDM high data rate (HDR) UE and 2 TDM HDR UE coexistence with 4 Code DivisionMultiplex (CDM) LDR UE, in the pedA 3km/h channel, in terms of RoT. However, the control channel quality is not maintained as well during inactive transmission time intervals. It is not recommended to use RSCP + GSIR TPC since it performs worst among these TPC methods for most of the cases in terms of RoT, even though it is the second best in maintaining the control channel quality. The power peak is visible when using RSCP + GSIR TPC. To maintain the control channel’s quality, a minimum SIR condition is always used on top of all proposed TPC methods. However, when there are several connected TDM HDR UEs in the cell, results indicates that it is challenging to meet the quality requirement on the control channels. So it may become necessary to limit the number of connected terminals in a cell in a time division scenario.
Med den höga datahastighet som Enhanced Uplink (EUL) medger kan en konventionell algoritm för effektkontroll baserad på signal to interference ratio (SIR) leda till effekthöjning beroende på självinterferens eller felaktigt SIR mål. Time division (TD) schedulering vid Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) anses vara en nyckelfunktion för att uppnå höga datahastigheter. I övergången mellan aktiv och inaktiv transmissionstidsintervall vid time division multiplexing (TDM) har effektoscillering/effektpeak observerats. Detta gör det nödvändigt att se över algoritmerna för effektkontroll vid olika scenarion av TD schedulering. Målet med effektkontrollen i denna studie är att minimera rise over thermal noise (RoT) för en given datahastighet givet begränsningen att kvaliteten på physical layer control channel är tillräcklig (beaktande att dedicated physical control channel (DPCCH) SIR inte understiger 3dB med en sannolikhet på som mest 5%). Ett annat mål är att minimera den lokala effektoscillationen (effektpeakar) som kan inträffa till exempel vid övergång mellan aktiv och inaktiv transmissionstidsintervall. De undersökta hybrida metoderna för effektkontroll är: (1) icke-parametrisk Generalized rake receiver SIR (GSIR) Inner Loop Power Control (ILPC) vid aktiv transmissionstidsintervall + Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) ILPC vid inaktiv transmissionstidsintervall och (2) RSCP ILPC under aktiv transmissionstidsintervall + GSIR ILPC under inaktiv transmissiontidsintervall. Båda metoderna jämförs med ren GSIR och ren RSCP ILPC. Länk nivå simulering med flera användare anslutna till en enda cell visar att: Problemet med effektpeakar observeras tydligt vid GSIR + GSIR transmit power control (TPC) men generellt sett presterar den bra i alla studerade TD scenarion. GSIR presterar bättre än andra TPC metoder beträffande RoT, speciellt i TU kanal modellen. Detta beror på att metoden är bra på att motverka momentant förändrad fading och med god precision estimerar SIR. Bland alla presenterade TPC metoder är GSIR + GSIR TPC den bästa på att behålla en god kvalitet på DPCCH kanalen. Ingen effekthöjning har observerats vid GSIR + GSIR TPC. RSCP + RSCP eliminerar problemet med effektpeakar och presterar bättre än andra TPC metoder presenterade under 3GPPs Pedestrial A (pedA) 3km/h kanal beträffande RoT. Dock är metoden generellt sett sämre på att behålla kontrollkanalens kvalitet än GSIR + GSIR TPC. GSIR + GSIR ILPC eliminerar problemet med effektpeakar och presterar bättre än GSIR power control i ett scenario med 2 och 4 TDM high data rate (HDR) UE och 2 TDM HDR UE tillsammans med 4 Code Division Multiplex (CDM) LDR UE i pedA 3km/h kanalen beträffande RoT. Dock kan inte kvaliteten på kontrollkanalen behållas i detta fall heller under inaktiv transmissionstidsintervall. Det är inte rekommenderat att använda RSCP + GSIR TPC eftersom den presterar sämst av alla TPC metoder beträffande RoT i de allra flesta fall. Till dess fördel är att den är den näst bästa på att behålla kvaliteten på kontrollkanalen. Effektpeakar har observerats när RSCP + GSIR TPC använts. För att behålla kontrollkanalens kvalitet används alltid en minimum SIR nivå ovanpå alla föreslagna TPC metoder. När det finns flera anslutna TDM HDR UEs i cellen indikerar resultaten att det är en utmaning att behålla kvalitetskraven på kontrollkanalen. På grund av detta kan det bli nödvändigt att begränsa antalet anslutna terminaler i en cell i ett TD scenario.

Abstract:

Today wireless transmission of data is becoming more and more popular and the need for faster transmission rates is increasing. Since the bandwidth is limited it is important to try to use it to the fullest. CDMA is a technology that allows multiple accesses on the same frequency and time thus making it very bandwidth efficient. The CDMA technology was first introduced in the second generation’s cellular systems but has since then been improved and is reused in today’s 3G systems as Wideband CDMA. ISY is interested in getting a behavioural model of a W-CDMA system since they had developed a DSP processor called BBP1 and were thinking about adding W-CDMA support for it. Even though our system is not implemented on the BBP1 it should provide a good base for future implementations. This thesis project will describe the construction of a behavioural model of a W-CDMA system following the standard specified by 3GPP. The system simulates W-CDMA transmission and reception and has an optional channel used to simulate real world interference. The receiver uses a rake combiner to improve the performance of the system.

Cette thèse traite de l'intégration du trafic multimédia sur la voie montante de l'interface radio de l'UMTS. Le problème est abordé dans sa globalité, considérant à la fois les possibilités de partage de la ressource, une bonne caractérisation du trafic à transmettre et les possibilités ouvertes dans la norme UMTS. L'attention est plus particulièrement portée sur la vidéo MPEG4 et les données de type Internet. La première partie de la thèse dégage une approche du partage de ressource radio en mode WCDMA. Les performances du mécanisme de multiplexage de niveau couche physique avec qualité de transmission différenciée et l'impact du mécanisme d'adaptation de débit sont évalués. Cette analyse débouche sur la construction d'une fonction de coût pour l'estimation de la capacité cellulaire multiservice et la proposition d'une méthode d'équilibrage adaptatif de la qualité de transmission. La seconde partie de la thèse présente un nouveau modèle statistique pour le trafic vidéo MPEG4. Ce modèle consiste en une particularisation du processus DBMAP et permet d'évaluer analytiquement les performances de transmission à la traversée d'un système à file d'attente. La dernière partie de la thèse intègre l'ensemble de ces travaux pour aboutir à une stratégie d'ordonnancement coopérative multiplexant efficacement les paquets issus d'applications multimédia temps réel et non temps réel, dans le respect des contraintes d'intégrité et de retard. Une méthode analytique faisant appel à la théorie des files d'attente de type M/G/1 est fournie pour le calcul des retards subis par les paquets vidéo MPEG4 et les données lorsque cette stratégie est mise en œuvre au sein d'un réseau UMTS
This thesis deals with the integration of multimedia traffic on the uplink of the UMTS radio interface. The problem is tackled in its globality, considering jointly the resource sharing possibilities, a good characterization of the traffic to transmit and the possibilities opened in the UMTS standard. The attention is more particularly focused on MPEG4 video and data of the Internet type. The first part of the thesis provides an approach of radio resource sharing in WCDMA mode. The performances of the physical layer multiplexing mechanism with quality of transmission differentiation and the impact of the rate matching mechanism are evaluated. This analysis serves as a basis for the construction of a cost function for estimating the multiservice cellular capacity and the proposition of a quality of transmission adaptive balancing method. The second part of the thesis presents a new statistical model for MPEG4 video traffic. This model consists in a customization of the DBMAP process and allows evaluating the queueing performances analytically. The last part of the thesis integrates this set of works yielding a cooperative scheduling strategy that efficiently multiplexes the packets generated by real time and non real time multimedia applications while respecting the integrity and delay constraints. An analytical method based on M/G/1 type queueing systems theory is given for computing the delays incurred by MPEG4 video and data packets when this strategy is implemented in a UMTS network

Abstract:
Power consumption requires critical consideration during system design for portable wireless communication devices as it has a direct influence on the battery weight and volume required for operation. Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) techniques are favoured for use in future generation mobile communication systems. This thesis investigates novel low power techniques for use in system blocks within a W-CDMA adaptive linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) receiver architecture. Two low power techniques are presented for reducing power dissipation in the LMS adaptive filter, this being the main power consuming block within this receiver. These low power techniques are namely the decorrelating transform, this is a differential coefficient technique, and the variable length update algorithm which is a dynamic tap-length optimisation technique. The decorrelating transform is based on the principle of reducing the wordlength of filter coefficients by using the computed difference between adjacent coefficients in calculation of the filter output. The effect of reducing the wordlength of filter coefficients being presented to multipliers in the filter is a reduction in switching activity within the multiplier thus reducing power consumed. In the case of the LMS adaptive filter, with coefficients being continuously updated, the decorrelating transform is applied to these calculated coefficients with minimal hardware or computational overhead. The correlation between filter coefficients is exploited to achieve a wordlength reduction from 16 bits down to 10 bits in the FIR filter block. The variable length update algorithm is based on the principle of optimising the number of operational filter taps in the LMS adaptive filter according to operating conditions. The number of taps in operation can be increased or decreased dynamically according to the mean squared error at the output of the filter. This algorithm is used to exploit the fact that when the SNR in the channel is low the minimum mean squared error of the short equaliser is almost the same as that of the longer equaliser. Therefore, minimising the length of the equaliser will not result in poorer MSE performance and there is no disadvantage in having fewer taps in operation. If fewer taps are in operation then switching will not only be reduced in the arithmetic blocks but also in the memory blocks required by the LMS algorithm and FIR filter process. This reduces the power consumed by both these computation intensive functional blocks. Power results are obtained for equaliser lengths from 73 to 16 taps and for operation with varying input SNR. This thesis then proposes that the variable length LMS adaptive filter is applied in the adaptive LMMSE receiver to create a low power implementation. Power consumption in the receiver is reduced by the dynamic optimisation of the LMS receiver coefficient calculation. A considerable power saving is seen to be achieved when moving from a fixed length LMS implementation to the variable length design. All design architectures are coded in Verilog hardware description language at register transfer level (RTL). Once functional specification of the design is verified, synthesis is carried out using either Synopsys DesignCompiler or Cadence BuildGates to create a gate level netlist. Power consumption results are determined at the gate level and estimated using the Synopsys DesignPower tool.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses handoff issues in a WCDMA system with space-time block coded transmit antenna diversity. Soft handoff has traditionally been used in CDMA systems because of its ability to provide an improved link performance due to the inherent macro diversity. Next generation systems will incorporate transmit diversity schemes employing several transmit antennas at the base station. These schemes have been shown to improve downlink transmission performance especially capacity and quality. This research investigates the possibility that the diversity obtained through soft handoff can be compensated for by the diversity obtained in a transmit diversity system with hard handoff. We analyze the system for two performance measures, namely, the probability of bit error and the outage probability, in order to determine whether the improvement in link performance, as a result of transmit diversity in a system with hard handoffs obviates the need for soft handoffs.

Abstract:
With code division multiple access (CDMA) systems being the prominent multiple access scheme for the air interface for 3G cellular systems, most standardisation bodies have based their terrestrial cellular systems on DS-CDMA (W-CDMA, UMTS, cdma2000). With 4G systems fast approaching, bringing with them improved services and quality of service standards, there is growing interest in further investigating and developing more efficient multiple access techniques such as multicarrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) systems. MC-CDMA combines multicarrier modulation (MCM), namely OFDM, with CDMA profiting from the benefits of both multiplexing techniques; as such, MC-CDMA is emerging as a possible candidate for the air interface multiple access scheme for 4G cellular systems. Multiple access interference (MAI) is a limiting factor of CDMA systems in terms of system capacity as orthogonally designed spreading sequences lose their orthogonality in the presence of timing misalignments amongst mobile subscribers in a cell; such is the case over the uplink channel. Ensuring orthogonal code properties minimises the MAI over synchronous environments, however, it is when the users are allowed to transmit asynchronously, as is the case over the uplink channel, that MAI inflicts significant performance degradation. In CDMA systems, all subscribers are active on the same frequency band simultaneously and signal separation is facilitated upon reception via the properties of the assigned spreading codes. Under asynchronous conditions the code properties alone do not provide the necessary separation and an additive MAI term remains in the detection process. In addition to the separation abilities of the spreading codes, a further method of deciphering the desired subscriber signal from the interfering subscriber signals is sought. In this thesis we propose a statistical model for both the probability density function (pdf) of the total MAI power and the corresponding bit-error rate (BER) observed during asynchronous CDMA transmission. The modelling offers the full statistic the MAI power and resulting BER, not just the first and second order statistics. In addition to statistically quantifying the MAI power, the thesis also proposes a technique for the successful reduction of MAI caused by asynchronous transmission. This interference reduction technique is derived from an ambiguity domain analysis of the asynchronous CDMA detection problem and its application to both the DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA multiplexing techniques is presented and the results show significant MAI reduction, and thus an improved the BER. A methodology for the approximation of the total MAI power pdf and the resulting BER pdf is proposed for the asynchronous DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA techniques. This methodology is derived for the use of Walsh-Hadamard (WH) and Gold spreading sequences, however, it is applicable to any given set of deterministic spreading sequences. The total MAI power pdfs of both systems are statistically modelled as being Nakagamim distributed and the corresponding BER modelling is derived from the Nakagami-m formulation offering the full statistic of both the incurred MAI power and the achievable BER. The proposed pdf acquisition methodology and statistical models can be used as analysis tools to assess the relative performances of the DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA techniques for a variety of communications environments. Here the asynchronous uplink channel is considered in the absence of fading and the results show a clear distinction between the BER performances of the MC-CDMA and DS-CDMA systems, for which the MC-CDMA system offers a superior performance for the purely asynchronous channel considered. The results suggest a higher resistance to MAI in the MC-CDMA technique in comparison to the DS-CDMA system for the considered transmission scenario. Following ambiguity function analysis of the asynchronous CDMA detection problem, the concept of dual-frequency switching is introduced to the existing DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA techniques giving rise to the proposed dual-frequency DS-CDMA (DF/DSCDMA) and dual-frequency MC-CDMA (DF/MC-CDMA) schemes. Periodically switching the carrier frequency between dual frequency bands at consecutive symbol boundaries facilitates partial CDMA signal separation upon asynchronous reception. Such switching of the carrier frequency induces a separation in frequency between offset interference signals and the reference signal; this is equivalent to shifting the energy concentration of the interference signals away form the ambiguity domain origin (representing the decision variable of the matched filter). Further MAI reduction is demonstrated through careful design of the dual carrier frequencies. The newly proposed DF systems clearly outperform the standard DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA systems when adopting equivalent spreading factors. The DF/DS-CDMA technique in particular achieves the most MAI reduction and in doing so, surpasses all other considered techniques to offer the best BER performance for the purely asynchronous channel considered. In terms of bandwidth usage, the DF/DS-CDMA band width is 1.5 times that of the DF/MC-CDMA system and from the BER results presented, one may argue that DF/MC-CDMA offers the better BER given the bandwidth usage. The multicarrier systems presented, MC-CDMA and DF/MC-CDMA, offer attractive BER performances for the bandwidth used and it is concluded that MC-CDMA is a genuine candidate for the uplink air interface multiple access scheme for future mobile cellular technologies.

Abstract:
Wireless radio access technologies have been progressively evolving to meet the high data rate demands of consumers. The deployment and success of voice-based second generation networks were enabled through the use of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and the Interim Standard Code Division Multiple Access (lS-95 CDMA) networks. The rise of the high data rate third generation communication systems is realised by two potential wireless radio access networks, the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and the CDMA2000. These networks are based on the use of various types of codes to initiate, sustain and terminate the communication links. Moreover, different codes are used to separate the transmitting base stations. This dissertation focuses on base station identification aspects of the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) WCDMA networks. Notwithstanding the ease of deployment of these networks, their asynchronous nature presents serious challenges to the designer of the receiver. One of the challenges is the identification of the base station identity by the receiver, a process called Cell Search. The receiver algorithms must therefore be robust to the hostile radio channel conditions, Doppler frequency shifts and the detrimental effects of carrier frequency offsets. The dissertation begins by discussing the structure and the generation of WCDMA base station data along with an examination of the effects of the carrier frequency offset. The various cell searching algorithms proposed in the literature are then discussed and a new algorithm that exploits the correlation length structure is proposed and the simulation results are presented. Another design challenge presented by WCDMA networks is the estimation of carrier frequency offset at the receiver. Carrier frequency offsets arise due to crystal oscillator inaccuracies at the receiver and their effect is realised when the voltage controlled oscillator at the receiver is not oscillating at the same carrier frequency as that of the transmitter. This leads to a decrease in the receiver acquisition performance. The carrier frequency offset has to be estimated and corrected before the decoding process can commence. There are different approaches in the literature to estimate and correct these offsets. The final part of the dissertation investigates the FFT based carrier frequency estimation techniques and presents a new method that reduces the estimation error.

We are now in an epoch of mobile communication. According to the report of newspaper, the ratio of people owning mobile phones in Taiwan has reached 93%. Among numerous wireless communication technologies, WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is a more advanced technology. The specification of WCDMA has been set by Third Generation Partner Project (3GPP) organization. The main feature of WCDMA is the Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes that are used to preserve the orthogonality between different physical channels, and furthermore they can reduce the inference of AWGN inference and promote the ability of anti-jamming. High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a more spectral efficient method that can transport considerable amount of data (image, music, etc.) from base stations to mobile phones according to the latest 3GPP specifications. There will be some illustrations and discussions on its influence on communication quality, theory and function of some receiver modules, and procedure of system design in this thesis. Then we will enter the main subject, and discuss how to design a 64QAM baseband receiver.[1]

In mobile radio systems, multipath fading causes system performance degradation. In WCDMA system, a new technique, called Space Time block coding based Transmit antenna Diversity (STTD), is provided to overcome multipath fading and improve system performance and capacity. However, space time block decoding algorithms so far are designed for flat fading channels in the literature. In this paper we propose two new schemes, with zero forcing detector and orthogonal detector, for the multipath fading channels. We show that for dual antennas with STTD encoding, either zero forcing detector or orthogonal detector at the mobile gives better performance then single antenna system by computer simulation.

Abstract:
Efficient real-time transmission of video data over bandwidth-constrained wireless channels is challenging in several ways: in particular, due to the underlying compression algorithms, the source rate can vary in bursts, which complicates the resource allocation problem, isolated channel errors can totally corrupt a video frame if sensitive information is affected, and errors in earlier frames can cause damage to later frames due to error propagation. This thesis will dear in particular with the effect of source rate variability on current and future cellular systems which employ code-division as the multiple-access strategy, such as IS-95B and IS-2000 systems. The problem will be approached from a physical-layer perspective: hence issues relating to the channel- and cellular-level performances will be addressed in detail, and then integrated into the system-level performance. This nonconventional cross-layer approach allows us to obtain additional insights over studies which tackle the issue mainly or exclusively at the higher system layers. In the first part of this thesis, several contributions are made to the theory of wideband fading channels, which will be considered as the physical channel model throughout the thesis. We derive the analytical level-crossing rates, average fade durations, envelope autocorrelations and baseband spectra of several channel models for some common diversity techniques. Based on some of the previously derived properties we design a fast wideband Nakagami channel simulator. We then derive the exact analytical error probabilities of several linear modulation schemes with diversity in correlated Nakagami channels, and validate them through simulation. In a second part, we derive accurate analytical or semi-analytical error probability expressions for the multicode and multirate configurations used in the physical layers of both the uplink and downlink of IS-95B and IS-2000 systems, in the presence of wideband fading. It is demonstrated that the effect of the multicode interference must be precisely taken into account to obtain reliable error statistics in wideband channels, especially for cellular systems with a low number of users. To this end, the fading dependence across multiple codes of a given user must be taken into account in the analysis, whereas for single-code systems this situation didn't occur. We consider systems which employ either maximal-ratio or equal-gain combining. The proposed methodology places no restrictions on the type of fading distribution, and examples are given for the cases of Rayleigh, Rice, Nakagami and lognormal fading, for both independent and correlated diversity branches. For the IS-95B uplink, the analysis is extended to deal with closed-loop power control using the inverse update algorithm, successive interference cancellation, and multicell systems. All analytical results are thoroughly validated through numerous entire system simulations, for different values of several transceiver and channel parameters. In the final part of this thesis, we demonstrate the benefits of employing rate smoothing for variable bit rate video applications in DS/CDMA cellular systems, and present and evaluate practical algorithms to achieve these gains. To support our exposition, a generic rate smoothing algorithm is developed, whose goal is to minimize the degradation caused by source bursts in such systems. Its performance in terms of decoded video quality is compared to that of a popular algorithm which was developed in the context of wireline communications, and which serves as a benchmark. It is shown that for systems subject to certain practical constraints, in particular concerning the granularity of the transmission rates, the proposed algorithm can offer an improved decoded video quality with respect to the benchmark algorithm. The influence of smoothing-related parameters such as the startup buffering delay and sliding window length are quantified. In addition, the effects of some transceiver and channel parameters on the decoded video quality are presented. To carry out these performance evaluations, a flexible software platform has been developed which emulates the transmission of video data at the physical/link layers in IS-95B and IS-2000 cellular systems with wideband fading, and allows the user to objectively measure the decoded video quality directly at the application layer.

Transmit diversity techniques provide a low cost solution to increase downlink capacity in the third generation systems. It is apparent that some form of transmit diversity is essential in 3G systems. Both open and closed loop transmit diversity concepts have been incorporated to the 3GPP specification. The open loop mode applies the space time code, and the closed loop mode utilizes feedback weight control. Closed loop mode transmit diversity is used especially in low mobility environment. Systems with closed loop mode transmit diversity have inferior performance than those with single antenna due to poor channel estimates in the high mobility environment. In this paper we propose a channel estimation technique of closed loop mode transmit diversity in WCDMA systems. By using Monto Carlo computer simulation, we show that the proposed channel estimation method is superior to other channel estimation methods.

Abstract:
WCDMA promises to achieve high-speed internet, high quality image transmission and high-speed data services with larger system capacity. However, Multiple Access Interference is one of the major causes of transmission impairment, which reduces the link capacity in WCDMA systems. The Adaptive Antenna Array (AAA) technique reduces multiple access interference by directing antenna beam nulls towards the interfering signals by weighting the received signals from all antennas before combining the signals. With the very rapid advancement of wireless personal communications services, a new challenge to the cellular industry is the integration of multiple systems and applications on a single device. A software radio technique offers a possible solution to achieve this goal including international roaming and multiple standard operations within the same geographical area. The main attraction of a software radio is it's flexibility, in that it can be programmed for emerging cellular standards allowing it to be updated with new software without any changes in the hardware infrastructure. A software radio incorporating adaptive array beamforming at the receiver can increase the total carried traffic in a system and transmit power while the probability of call blocking and forced termination can also be decreased. This dissertation examines WCDMA, AAA, power control and software radio techniques in the world of wireless communication systems. Once the theoretical background of CDMA and AAA has been substantiated, the thesis establishes the need for power control in mobile systems by examining simulation results. An AAA receiver with six antenna elements is proposed and evaluated in different environments as a precursor to implementation. It can be inferred that when the link is interference limited, the link capacity can be increased and it has been shown that the AAA receiver with six antenna elements increases the link capacity to about 2.9 times that of the single antenna RAKE receiver. This thesis also examines the basic concepts of VHDL and considers this as the principle means to program reconfigurable core FPGA's in the software radio. A three-layered (PC/DSP/FPGA) software radio test bed is used to implement an AAA receiver. The architecture of the test bed is designed in such a way that it can be used to evaluate the performance of various FPGA based transceivers and coding schemes etc. Many of the desirable features and flexibilities inherent in the software radio concept are available on this test bed and the system has proved to be capable of high speed digital processing and is ideally suited to the development of time critical system components. The bit error rate achieved using the implemented receiver is assessed and compared to simulation results in an environment incorporating Rayleigh fading and AWGN.

Abstract:
WCDMA is typically characterised as a system capable of providing mobile users with data rates up to 2 Mb/s and beyond. It has been termed an ultra high-speed, ultra high-capacity radio technology that will be able to carry a new range of fast, colourful media, such as colour graphics, video, animations, digital audio, Internet and e-mail that consumers will be able to access over their mobiles devices. This current study has researched on the various existing Multiuser detection (MUD) processes or proposals conducted by various research institutions around the world. It has identified the advantages that the past work offers, and it is these advantages that form the basis of the current research into the improvement techniques. The proposed Partial Parallel Pipelined Multiuser Detector (PPPMUD or P3MUD) has come about from two main flavours or directions of research. The first one seeks to promote the Soft Parallel Interference Cancellation technique as an effective bias mitigation technique. This bias occurring in the second stage decision statistics, exhibits a very harmful effect on system Bit Error Rate, (BER), particularly for large system loads. This current study goes further by carefully analysing the Soft Cancellation Factor, SCF behaviour to eventually derive and determine the optimum SCF value which exhibits positive characteristics when varied with the increasing system load (number of users). This optimum SCF value is called the universal SCF or SCFUNV, as it is theoretically supposed to perform favourably under various system loads. A favourable or acceptable performance would be characterised by low observed or measured BER during the system processing stages. A further enhancement to the operational performance of the SCFUNV algorithm is the SCFUNV Compensator, which is basically a compensation mechanism created by modelling the behaviour of the SCF values, and adjusts the SCFUNV depending on the system load, (number of simultaneous users). Thus, the SCFUNV is adaptively adjusted in order to perform acceptably under all load conditions. The second direction of research, as regards improvements in MUD techniques, involves the conventional Bit-Streaming, Pipelined Multiuser Detector. This came about due to the computational complexity as well as matrix inversions which affected earlier asynchronous multiuser detection techniques. This detector has a pipelined architecture which avoids multishot (block-based) detection and instead, processes the bits in a streaming fashion. The architecture consists of a matched filter followed by three stages of parallel interference cancellation, (PIC). This present study extends that research by outlining the advantages of incorporating the soft parallel interference cancellation technique, by way of the universal soft cancellation factor, (SCFUNV), into the conventional pipelined multiuser detector architecture to form the P3MUD architecture, which includes the compensator. The contributions of the proposed P3MUD system is that the observed BER output simulations are promising, with an observed overall decrease in the error rate for the P3MUD process, as compared to the conventional pipelined detection method. This decrease signifies an improvement offered by the proposed (P3MUD) algorithm. Further observed analysis indicates the possibility of decreasing the number of parallel interference cancellation stages from three to at least two, after the matched filter detection stage, without an observable change in system BER. Hence, the proposal of the two-stage P3MUD.
