SVD-Aided Beamforming and Power Allocation Algorithm for Multiuser Turbo-BLAST System Uplink with Imperfect CSI by Xiaomin Chen, Xiangbin Yu, Dazhuan Xu

“…At the receiver, a suboptimal decorrelating scheme is first proposed to mitigate the multiuser interference (MUI) and decouple the detection of different users with imperfect CSI, and then the iterative detecting algorithm that takes the channel estimation error into account is designed to cancel the coantenna interference (CAI) and enhance the bit error rate (BER) results further. …”

Impact and compensation of sample clock offset in I-CFDMA uplink by Dan DING, Nai-ping CHENG, Yu-rong LIAO

“…To achieve the sample clock synchronization in the interleaved code and frequency division multiple access(I-CFDMA)uplink,the I-CFDMA uplink model was established,and the disturbance of the sample clock offset(SCO)on the system model was discussed,in addition,the signal time shift,phase rotation,multi-user interference(MUI)and inter-carrier interference(ICI)caused by SCO were analyzed quantitatively.On this basis,a compensation method of multi-user SCO was proposed.For one thing,the relevant metric function was modified considering the SCO of each user; for another thing,a multi-user detection(MUD)algorithm based on harmony search was proposed.This algorithm has a higher efficiency than the commonly-used genetic algorithm(GA),as well as a performance approximate to that of optimal detection without SCO but with <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac> <mn>1</mn> <mrow> <mn>64</mn></mrow> </mfrac> </math></inline-formula> computational burden.The computer simulation results validate the conclusions obtained.…”
