Turbo MUD forDirect Sequence CDMA • CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access • The users are assigned distinct waveforms. • Spreading/signature sequences • All users transmit at same time/frequency. • Use a wide bandwidth signal • Processing gain Ns • Ratio of bandwidth after spreading to bandwidth before • MUD for CDMA • The resolvable MAI originates from the same cell. • Intracell interference. • MUD uses observations from only one base station. • M=1 case. Applications
K = 5 users Spreading gain Ns = 7 Convolutional code: Kc = 3, r=1/2 Eb/No = 5 dB 1 K 9 Performance of Turbo-MUD for CDMA in AWGN
K = 5 users Fully-interleaved fading Eb/No = 9 dB 1 K 9 Performance of Turbo-MUD for CDMA in Rayleigh Flat-fading
Turbo MUD for TDMA • TDMA: Time Division Multiple Access • Users are assigned unique time slots • All users transmit at same frequency • All users have the same waveform, g(t) • TDMA can be considered a special case of CDMA, with gk(t) = g(t) for all cochannel k. • MUD for TDMA • Usually there is only one user per time-slot per cell. • The interference comes from nearby cells. • Intercell interference. • Observations from only one base station might not be sufficient. • Performance is improved by combining outputs from multiple base stations. Applications
K = 3 users Convolutional code: Kc = 3, r=1/2 Observations at 1 base station Eb/No = 5 dB 1 K 9 Performance of Turbo-MUD for TDMA in AWGN

Antenna Arrays • Consider an antenna array with M elements. • In this case, M>1 • Each element has its own multiuser detector. • Can use the SISO MUD algorithm. • Antenna elements should be far enough apart that the signals are uncorrelated. Applications array element #1 Multiuser Detector #1 array element #M Multiuser Detector #M
Distributed Multiuser Detection • Why must the elements of an antenna array be located at the same base station? • We could synthesize an antenna array by using the antennas of spatially separated base stations. • A benefit is now signals will be uncorrelated. Applications base station #1 Multiuser Detector #1 base station #M Multiuser Detector #M

Performance of Distributed MUD • Eb/No = 20 dB • 1 K 9 • For conventional receiver: • Performance degrades quickly with increasing K. • Only small benefit to using observations from multiple BS. • With multiuser detection: • Performance degrades very slowly with increasing K. • Order of magnitude decrease in BER by using multiple observations. • Now multiple cochannel users per cell are allowed.
Cooperative Decoding for the TDMA Uplink • Now consider the coded case. • The outputs of the MUD’s are summed and passed through a bank of decoders. • The SISO decoder outputs are fed back to the multiuser detectors to be used as a priori information.
