Abstract

We consider the design of soft decision functions for each stage of multistage detection for coherent demodulation in an asynchronous code-division multiple-access(CDMA) system. In particular, the sigmoid function, which is shown to be optimal under the mean square error(MSE) criterion, andmultilevel quantizers that best approximate the sigmoid function are derived. At each stage of multistage detection, the parameters of these decision functions are adjusted depending on estimated input statistics. Computer simulation results demonstrate that multistage detectors employing these soft decision functions perform considerably better than those with hard decision.

비동기 부호 분할 다중 접속(Code Division Multiple Access: CDMA) 시스템을 위한 다단(mutistage) 간섭 제거 검출기의 매 단에서 기존에 사용되어 온 경판정(hard decision)을 대신할 수 있는 연판정(soft decision) 함수의 설계를 고려한다. 특히, 평균 제곱 오류(mean square error: MSE)의 관점에서 최적인 시그모이드(sigmoid) 함수와 구현시 복잡도를 줄이면서 시그모이드 함수를 가장 잘 근사화하는 다단계 양자화기(multu-level quantizer)들을 유도한다. 다단 검출기의 매 단에서 이들 판정 함수들의 변수는 산출된 입력 특성에 의해 조정된다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 이들 연판정 함수를 갖는 다단 검출기가 경판정을 사용하는 경우보다 현저하게 성능을 향상시킴을 보인다.
