While CDMA systems are proven to be excellent solutions for cellular communications, they suffer from severe multi-path interferences and are unable to support high-data-rate transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. This paper introduces a novel downlink transmission method for next generation mobile communication systems. The proposed method allows frequency-domain equalization at the receiver while maintaining the compatibility with the 3rdgeneration CDMA systems.

This paper proposes downlink blocking model and approximation equation using lower bound approximation in order to determine the proper guard band between cdma2000 1X and WCDMA in handover areas. The frequency sharing conditions obtained by the model and approximation equation on blocking probability proposed in the paper, are co-site of base station and guard band higher than 1 MHz. Also, the proposed equation is in the form of Q-function. It is an analytical solution overcoming the drawback of recalculation, belonged to Monte-Carlo technique.

In this paper, we presented a new interference suppression method based on code grouping and groupwise decorrelation for multirate DS-CDMA downlink. The code grouping is accomplished according to the correlation property between the mother code and the child codes in OVSF code tree. Using groupwise decorrelation, the proposed receiver has relatively low computational complexity and does not require any information about interference users, such as code, data, and amplitude. From the simulation results in multipath channels, the proposed receiver is to provide significant performance enhancement.

In multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems, conventional blind channel estimation schemes require the inverse matrix calculation or eigenvalue decomposition of the received signal covariance matrix. Therefore, computational complexity of the conventional schemes is too high and they cannot be employed in downlink systems. In this paper, we propose a simple blind channel estimation scheme with very low computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better channel estimation and bit error rate (BER) performance than the conventional schemes.

Future wireless communication systems are expected to provide a broad range of multimedia services in which the asymmetry of traffic load between uplink and downlink is a significant feature. The rode division multiple access system with tune division duplex mode (CDMA/TDD) is a good solution to cope with the traffic asymmetry problem. However. the TDD system is subject to inter-cell interference compared to frequency division duplex (FDD) system. Since both uplink and downlink share the same frequency in TDD. uplink and downlink may interfere each other especially when neighboring cells require different rates of asymmetry. Thus, time slot allocation for tells is an important issue in TDD. In this paper. we propose a genetic algorithm based time slot allocation scheme which maximizes the residual system capacity. The proposed scheme allows that each cell employ different level of uplink/downlink asymmetry and satisfies the interference requirement.

Beam-forming method based on the estimated channel information at the base station degrade the performance mismatching directional vector in case of systems which Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) center frequency of uplink and downlink are different. Also blind estimation technique which is to obtain directional vector of reverse link through received signal has disadvantage of hardware complexity increase. To solve these problems, in present paper, a smart antenna algorithm which is to improve the beam-forming complexity increase due to user number by appling the spatial fourier transform to be able to beam- forming toward a wanted direction through adjusting a obtained uplink weight function by estimating Angle-of-Arrival (AoA) to the competable form at the downlink is proposed. The proposed algorithm is integrated to the CDMA downlink transmitter and simulations are performed to confirm the performance as frame error rate at the receiver. As a result, the beam forming effect is confirmed and the performance gain with the proposed algorithm is comparable to ordinary smart antenna system.

CDMA/TOD with asymmetric capacity allocation between uplink and downlink is a highly attractive solution to support the next generation mobile systems. This is because flexible asymmetric allocation of capacity to uplink and downlink usually improves the utilization of the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we mathematically formulate an optimal timeslot and code allocation problem, which is to maximize the total utility considering the numbers of codes(channels) allocated to each data class and the forced terminations of previously allocated codes. We also suggest a real-time integrated timeslot and code allocation scheme using Lagrangean relaxation and subgradient optimization techniques. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides high-quality solutions in a fast time.

Multucarrier code-division multiple access(MC-CDMA) is one of the promising technique for high capacity wireless communication. Hower the carrier phase error and frequency offest cause the performance degradation of MC-CDMA due to the inter-carrier interference. In this work, downlink performance of the partially coherent MC-CDMA is analytically derived in Rayleigh fading channels. The bit error rate sensitivity by combining method, Maxiaml ratio combining (MRC)and Equal gain combining(EGC), is compared as functions of phase errors. multi-user interference, and received signal-to-noise ratio. The results show that the susceptibility for the performance degradation of EGc and MRC is negligible for loop SNR's of above 15 dB and above 10 dB, respectivtely.

We analyze the performance of code division multiple access (CDMA) system with multicarrier (MC) that employs precoding in synchronous downlink channels. Even though considerable efforts are undergoing for frequency offset estimation and correction, it is inevitable for the system to bear the remaining frequency offset. Therefore it is important to predict accurately the system performance in the presence of the residual frequency offset. We obtain the bit error rate (BER) performance in terms of the number of users, the spreading factor, the number of sub-carriers, and frequency offset. We assume that the spreading factor is equal to the number of sub-carriers, although we can generalize the case. The simulation results show that the BER of MC-CDMA with precoding shows a performance that varies with frequency offset as well as system loading.
