Adaptive chip-rate equalization of downlink multirate wideband CDMA

We consider a downlink direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system in which multirate user signals are transmitted via synchronous orthogonal short codes overlaid with a common scrambling sequence. The transmitted signal is subjected to significant time- and frequency-selective multipath fading. In response to this scenario, a novel two-mode receiver is proposed that accomplishes chip-rate adaptive equalization aided by filtering and/or cancellation of multiaccess interference (MAI). In the acquisition mode, a code-multiplexed pilot is used to adapt the equalizer from cold start or loss-of-lock. The use of MAI filtering results in a third-order least mean squares (LMS) algorithm, which has significant advantages over standard (i.e., first-order) LMS in nonstationary environments. In the tracking mode, decision-direction facilitates MAI-cancellation in the equalizer update, which enhances performance. The receiver monitors pilot decision quality as a means of switching between the two modes. The performance of the adaptive receiver is studied through analysis and simulation.
