  1. Multipath Resolution Effects in Wideband CDMA Transmission Rodger E. Ziemer Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept. University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Colorado Springs, CO 80933

  2. The Challenge • 3G wideband: • Mixed traffic, some of which demands wide bandwidth • Finer resolution of multipath: • Wider spread bandwidth • Directive antennas • Statistics/spectra of multipath: • Envelope component partially specular - Ricean model? • Phase distributions for tracking loops (Tikonov?) • Bathtub Doppler power spectrum no longer valid • Fundamental question: • Resolve more paths – power decreases per resolved path • When is additional diversity gain provided by finer path resolution negated by phase/timing errors?

  3. A Related Challenge • Where does bandwidth come from to do this finer resolution? • cdma2000 hedges on this by having an RTT option that allows noncontiguous chunks of bandwidth to be used (multicarrier spread spectrum, MC-SS) • Kondo & Milstein (1996) showed that for equal bandwidths, W-CDMA and MC-SS give same diversity gain under ideal conditions (maximal ratio combining, etc.)

  4. Well Known Diversity Result • Proakis; Diversity reception in context of RAKE (L = no. fingers; = Ave. SNR in kth finger; rr = 0 for FSK and -1 for BPSK): • Flat Rayleigh channel; says to resolve multipath as as much possible (BEP versus L monotonically decreases for any Eb/N0)

  5. The Two Issues of This Talk • First Issue: W-CDMA for finer resolution of multipath with diversity combining by RAKE • Second Issue: Wideband achieved by multicarrier spread spectrum

  6. RAKE Receiver Structure

  7. Model for Fine Resolution • Resolution increases (chip duration decreases): • Multipath reflections are from smaller patches or include smaller “bundles” of rays • A model for envelope of multipath components: • Model for tracking loop phase (e.g., RAKE finger):

  8. Decision Statistic: RAKE Receiver • Adapting from Proakis: • Given akand fk, U1is a Gaussian RV (drop Re). Its moment generating function is • Average of exp( ) sum becomes product of averages

  9. Ricean Envelope; Tikonov Phase • Again, from Proakis: • Laplace transform of the detection statistic pdf is • The gk’s are assumed Ricean distributed; make integrand of average look like Ricean pdf with additional factors outside integral.

  10. Laplace Transform of Detection Statistic • Average over gk: • Can’t get a closed form for the average over fk with respect to a Tikonov phase pdf: • For given s carry out the average numerically; do product • Use numerical technique of Biglieri, et al., Elec. Letters, Feb. 1, 1996, pp. 191-192, to get probability of error

  11. Gauss-Chebyshev Quadrature to Get BEP from MGF of Decision Statistic • G-C formula from Biglieri, et al. • c affects the number of nodes necessary to achieve a desired accuracy • A recommendation in Biglieri, et al is the value minimizing FD(c) • Or else 1/2 the smallest real part of the poles of FD(s)

  12. More Practical Case: Internal Noise in Phase Tracking Device • Generalize to the signal-to-noise ratio, SNR(k), in the kth finger of the RAKE receiver being • Typically, by minimizing phase jitter due to external and internal noise,

  13. Pb versus Eb/N0; Ricean fading with K = 0 dB; loop SNR 20 dB above Eb/N0 = 0 dB; L = no. of RAKE fingers; constant PDP

  14. Pb versus Eb/N0; various orders of diversity, L; Ricean fading, K = 6 dB; σint2/N0BL = 1; Rb/BL = 15 dB; expon. PDP

  15. Pb vs. L; Ricean fading, K = -6, 0, 6 dB, Eb/N0 = 7 dB; σint2/N0BL = 1; Rb/BL = 15 dB; expon. PDP; opt. L values: 37, 34, and 26

  16. Pbversus L; Ricean fading, K = 6 dB; Eb/N0 = 5, 7, & 9 dB; σint2/N0BL = 1;Rb/BL = 15 dB; exp. PDP; Opt. L values: 18, 26, & 41 for Eb/N0 = 5, 7, & 9 dB, respectively

  17. Summary – RAKE Phase Tracking • An optimum number of paths exists, giving a minimum bit error probability • Finer multipath resolution, through wider spread bandwidth, buys improved performance • The majority of this improvement is obtain for a few RAKE fingers combined (say five or so) • It is less dramatic as the number of fingers goes beyond 10 or 15.

  18. Next: MC-SS • Have L channels (carriers) to be combined at receiver. For simplification assume • Equal gain combining • DPSK modulation • Follow same procedure as before: • Obtain MGF of single carrier • MGF of sum is product of separate MGF’s • Use G-C integration to obtain bit error probability • Can obtain closed form result for Rayleigh fading

  19. Results for fdTb = 10-5 (r = 1)

  20. Moderate Doppler Spread; Nearly Rayleigh

  21. Higher Doppler Spread; Ricean; Uniform power across carriers

  22. BEP versus L; K = 10 dB, and fdTb = 0.04 for uniform power profile

  23. Summary • Have an optimum number of paths • Nonoptimum, equal gain combining used to simplify analysis • DPSK modulation exhibits error floor due to Doppler spread
