Multiuser TH-precoding for TDD-CDMA over multipath channels

Nonlinear precoding schemes for downlink time-division duplex-CDMA systems over multipath fading channels, are considered. First, the capacity results of a downlink CDMA system with either multiuser detection or precoding, were obtained and compared. It is seen that the two schemes exhibit similar capacity regions for both sum rate and maximum equal rate, which motivates the development of efficient nonlinear transmitter precoding techniques to reduce the receiver complexity at the mobile units without degrading the system performance. We then develop both bit-wise and chip-wise Tomlinson-Harashima (TH) multiuser precoding methods for downlink CDMA with multipath, to remove multi-user interference, inter-chip interference and inter-symbol interference. Efficient algorithms for multiuser power loading and ordering are also developed. Implementation of the proposed TH-precoding schemes in time-varying channels based on channel prediction is addressed as well. Simulations results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques in suppressing interference in downlink CDMA.
