Title
Spectral efficiency of distributed MIMO code division multiple access systems over multipath fading channels
Abstract
Distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is a new architecture for next generation wireless communication systems with distributed multiple antennas. In this paper, an uplink model for multiuser distributed MIMO systems with wideband code-division multiple-access (CDMA) technology is presented. We focus on the case where there is no channel state information at the transmitter, but channel state information is assumed at the receiver. The spectral efficiency of the uplink system with single-user detectors at the base stations under multipath fading channels is investigated carefully. Two cases with different assumptions of interference knowledge are studied in detail. The spreading sequences of the CDMA systems are assumed to employ loosely synchronized (LS) spreading sequences and random spreading sequences respectively. LS spreading sequences exhibit a so-called interference free window (IFW), where both the auto-correlation and cross-correlation of the codes become zero. Therefore LS sequences have the promise of mitigating the effects of inter symbol interference (ISI) and multiple access interference (MAI) in multipath fading channels. It is shown by numerical results that the uplink spectral efficiency of the distributed MIMO-CDMA system using LS sequences can significantly outperform that of the system using random spreading sequences.
