Abstract

This paper investigates interference cancellation (IC) indirect-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems that supportmultiple data rates. Two methods for implementing multiple data rates areconsidered. One is the use of mixed modulation and the other is the use ofmulticodes. We introduce and analyze a new approach that combines thesemultiple data rate systems with IC. The cancellation in the receiver isperformed successively on each user, starting with the user received withthe highest power. This procedure can in turn be iterated, forming amultistage scheme, with the number of iterations set as a design parameter.Our analysis employs a Gaussian approximation for the distribution of theinterference, and it includes both the AWGN and the flat Rayleigh fadingchannel. The systems are also evaluated via computer simulations. Ouranalysis and simulations indicate that the IC schemes used in mixedmodulation or multicode systems yield a performance close to the single BPSKuser bound and, consequently, give a prospect of a considerable improvementin performance compared to systems employing matched filter detectors.
