The Minimum Bit Error Rate (MBER) linear MUDs considered are designed for the synchronous downlink of Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) systems, employing Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation as well as 4-level Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4-QAM). An iterative non-adaptive algorithm capable of converging to the MBER solution was developed based on the Steepest Descent Gradient algorithm. A Simplified Conjugate Gradient algorithm was also proposed for the sake of improving the convergence speed of the Steepest Descent Gradient MBER algorithm. Our simulation results showed that the MBER MUD is capable of outperforming the MMSE MUD in terms of the achievable BER under various channel conditions. Furthermore, the MBER MUD is combined with Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding and several coded modulation schemes are invoked for the sake of enhancing the achievable BER performance.

Adaptive versions of the MBER algorithm are also presented, which are initialised for example to the MMSE MUD weights and then iteratively adjust the weights until the MBER solution is reached. More specifically, two classes of adaptive algorithms are presented, namely block adaptive and sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms. Two algorithms belonging to the block adaptive category are referred to as the Block Adaptive Steepest-descent Gradient (BASG) and the Block Adaptive Conjugate Gradient (BACG) algorithms. Although the BACG algorithm is capable of a faster convergence to the MBER solution, this algorithm exhibits a higher sensitivity to the choice of the adaptive step size. Hence, a hybrid solution is preferred. Similarly, two sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms were derived, namely the Least Bit Error Rate (LBER) algorithm and the Approximate LBER (ALBER) arragement. Our simulation results demonstrated that both algorithms outperformed the Least Mean Square (LMS), the Difference approximation MBER (DMBER) and the Approximate MBER (AMBER) algorithms m terms of the attainable convergence speed and the steady state BER.

Abstract

The Minimum Bit Error Rate (MBER) linear MUDs considered are designed for the synchronous downlink of Direct Sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) systems, employing Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation as well as 4-level Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (4-QAM). An iterative non-adaptive algorithm capable of converging to the MBER solution was developed based on the Steepest Descent Gradient algorithm. A Simplified Conjugate Gradient algorithm was also proposed for the sake of improving the convergence speed of the Steepest Descent Gradient MBER algorithm. Our simulation results showed that the MBER MUD is capable of outperforming the MMSE MUD in terms of the achievable BER under various channel conditions. Furthermore, the MBER MUD is combined with Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding and several coded modulation schemes are invoked for the sake of enhancing the achievable BER performance.

Adaptive versions of the MBER algorithm are also presented, which are initialised for example to the MMSE MUD weights and then iteratively adjust the weights until the MBER solution is reached. More specifically, two classes of adaptive algorithms are presented, namely block adaptive and sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms. Two algorithms belonging to the block adaptive category are referred to as the Block Adaptive Steepest-descent Gradient (BASG) and the Block Adaptive Conjugate Gradient (BACG) algorithms. Although the BACG algorithm is capable of a faster convergence to the MBER solution, this algorithm exhibits a higher sensitivity to the choice of the adaptive step size. Hence, a hybrid solution is preferred. Similarly, two sample-by-sample adaptive algorithms were derived, namely the Least Bit Error Rate (LBER) algorithm and the Approximate LBER (ALBER) arragement. Our simulation results demonstrated that both algorithms outperformed the Least Mean Square (LMS), the Difference approximation MBER (DMBER) and the Approximate MBER (AMBER) algorithms m terms of the attainable convergence speed and the steady state BER.
