BER performance analysis of Subtractive interference cancellation (SIC) Using Rayleigh channel in DS-CDMA Receiver system

Abstract

In this paper, we present and analyze the performance of a parallel interference cancellation (PIC) scheme for multicarrier (MC) direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. In order to mitigate the multi-path interference (MPI) in the DS CDMA system. At each cancellation stage in the proposed PIC scheme, on each subcarrier, a weighted sum of the soft outputs of the other users in the current stage is cancelled from the soft output of the desired user to form the input to the next stage. At the last stage, the interference cancelled outputs from all the subcarriers are maximal ratio combined (MRC) to form the decision statistic. Parallel interference elimination is first proposed in this paper the multi-path interference are evaluated by tentative decision and known user information. Then the performance over Rayleigh fading channel are analyzed and compared to Matched filter, Decorelator, successive interference cancellation (SIC) and conventional parallel interference cancellation (PIC). It is shown that PIC performance can be improved greatly by using this method with simple structure and easy implementation.
