A linear multiuser receiver for a particular user in a code-division multiple-access (CDMA) network gains potential benefits from knowledge of the channels of all users in the system. In fast multipath fading environments we cannot assume that the channel estimates are perfect and the inevitable channel estimation errors will limit this potential gain. We study the impact of channel estimation errors on the performance of linear multiuser receivers, as well as the channel estimation problem itself. Of particular interest are the scalability properties of the channel and data estimation algorithms: what happens to the performance as the system bandwidth and the number of users (and hence channels to estimate) grows? Our main results involve asymptotic expressions for the signal-to-interference ratio of linear multiuser receivers in the limit of large processing gain, with the number of users divided by the processing gain held constant. We employ a random model for the spreading sequences and the limiting signal-to-interference ratio expressions are independent of the actual signature sequences, depending only on the system loading and the channel statistics: background noise power, energy profile of resolvable multipaths, and channel coherence time. The effect of channel uncertainty on the performance of multiuser receivers is succinctly captured by the notion of effective interference.

We derive bounds for optimal rate allocation between source and channel coding for linear channel codes that meet the Gilbert-Varshamov or Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink (1984) bounds. Formulas giving the high resolution vector quantizer distortion of these systems are also derived. In addition, we give bounds on how far below the channel capacity the transmission rate should be for a given delay constraint. The bounds obtained depend on the relationship between channel code rate and relative minimum distance guaranteed by the Gilbert-Varshamov bound, and do not require sophisticated decoding beyond the error correction limit. We demonstrate that the end-to-end mean-squared error decays exponentially fast as a function of the overall transmission rate, which need not be the case for certain well-known structured codes such as Hamming codes.

We address the problem of detecting changes in multivariate Gaussian random signals with an unknown mean after the change. The window-limited generalized-likelihood ratio (GLR) scheme is a well-known approach to solve this problem. However, this algorithm involves at least (log /spl gamma/)//spl rho/ likelihood-ratio computations at each stage, where /spl gamma/(/spl gamma//spl rarr//spl infin/) is the mean time before a false alarm and /spl rho/ is the Kullback-Leibler information. We establish a new suboptimal recursive approach which is based on a collection of L parallel recursive /spl chi//sup 2/ tests instead of the window-limited GLR scheme. This new approach involves only a fixed number L of likelihood-ratio computations at each stage for any combinations of /spl gamma/ and /spl rho/. By choosing an acceptable value of nonoptimality, the designer can easily find a tradeoff between the complexity of the quadratic change detection algorithm and its efficiency.

We propose a systematic method for creating constellations of unitary space-time signals for multiple-antenna communication links. Unitary space-time signals, which are orthonormal in time across the antennas, have been shown to be well-tailored to a Rayleigh fading channel where neither the transmitter nor the receiver knows the fading coefficients. The signals can achieve low probability of error by exploiting multiple-antenna diversity. Because the fading coefficients are not known, the criterion for creating and evaluating the constellation is nonstandard and differs markedly from the familiar maximum-Euclidean-distance norm. Our construction begins with the first signal in the constellation-an oblong complex-valued matrix whose columns are orthonormal-and systematically produces the remaining signals by successively rotating this signal in a high-dimensional complex space. This construction easily produces large constellations of high-dimensional signals. We demonstrate its efficacy through examples involving one, two, and three transmitter antennas.

The Capetanakis-Tsybakov-Mikhailov (1978, 1979) contention tree algorithm provides an efficient scheme for multiaccessing a broadcast-communication channel. This paper studies the statistical properties of multiple-access contention tree algorithms with ternary feedback for an arbitrary degree of node. The particular quantities under investigation are the number of levels required for a random contender to have successful access, as well as the number of levels and the number of contention frames required to provide access for all contenders. Through classical Fourier analysis approximations to both the average and the variance are calculated as a function of the number of contenders n. It is demonstrated that in the limit of large n these quantities do not converge to a fixed mode, but contain an oscillating term as well.

In this contribution we derive the super-trellis structure of turbo codes. We show that this structure and its associated decoding complexity depend strongly on the interleaver applied in the turbo encoder. We provide upper bounds for the super-trellis complexity. Turbo codes are usually decoded by an iterative decoding algorithm, which is suboptimum. Applying the super-trellis structure, we can optimally decode simple turbo codes and compare the associated bit-error rate results to those of iterative algorithms.

We examine the problem of periodic nonuniform sampling of a multiband signal and its reconstruction from the samples. This sampling scheme, which has been studied previously, has an interesting optimality property that uniform sampling lacks: one can sample and reconstruct the class /spl Bscr/(/spl Fscr/) of multiband signals with spectral support /spl Fscr/, at rates arbitrarily close to the Landau (1969) minimum rate equal to the Lebesgue measure of /spl Fscr/, even when /spl Fscr/ does not tile R under translation. Using the conditions for exact reconstruction, we derive an explicit reconstruction formula. We compute bounds on the peak value and the energy of the aliasing error in the event that the input signal is band-limited to the "span of /spl Fscr/" (the smallest interval containing /spl Fscr/) which is a bigger class than the valid signals /spl Bscr/(/spl Fscr/), band-limited to /spl Fscr/. We also examine the performance of the reconstruction system when the input contains additive sample noise.
