Abstract:
We present the characteristics of peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) for multitone-hopping code-division mul-
tiple access (MH-CDMA) signals using feedback-controlled hopping patterns (FCHPs) (FCHP/MH-CDMA).
In FCHP/MH-CDMA, since each chip of transmitted signals consists of plural tones, energy consumption due
to large PAR may not be negligible at the transmitter. Therefore, it is important to investigate the PAR charac-
teristics of FCHP/MH-CDMA signals. It is shown that limiting the number of tones per chip, and the number
of quantization bits, and clipping on FCHP are effective in reducing the PAR at almost identical bit-error rate
(BER).
1 INTRODUCTION
Intersymbol interference (ISI) and multiple access in-
terference (MAI) are two primary factors that reduce
wireless communication performance. To greatly re-
duce ISI and MAI, feedback-based systems have been
studied. For uplink channels, a method in which a
base station (BS) employs an adaptive filter at a re-
ceiver to produce an analog pseudo-noise (PN) se-
quence, which is assigned to a new user, was pro-
posed (Hamada et al., 1998) in direct-sequence code-
division multiple access (DS-CDMA). Analog PN se-
quences can be orthogonal to each other under ar-
bitrary asynchronous conditions. For a synchronous
DS-CDMA, an iterative construction method that pro-
duces signature sequences using a minimum mean-
squared error (MMSE) filter was proposed (Ulukus
and Yates, 2001). It has been shown that this method
produces a set of Welch bound equality (WBE) se-
quences (Welch, 1994; Rupf and Massey, 1994) using
an MMSE filter whose size is identical to the length
of the signature sequence. In contrast, we have pro-
posed another DS-CDMA using feedback-controlled
spreading sequences (FCSS/DS-CDMA) (Miyatake
et al., 2004; Miyatake et al., 2008). In the FCSS/DS-
CDMA, the receiver employs an adaptive filter whose
size is larger than the length of the signature sequence
and returns part of the filter coefficients to a trans-
mitter. It has been shown that this method yields su-
perior performance in terms of bit-error rate (BER)
over time-invariant multipath channels. Furthermore,
we have proposed multitone-hopping CDMA (MH-
CDMA) using a feedback-controlled hopping pat-
tern (FCHP) (FCHP/MH-CDMA), which combines
the frequency-hopping CDMA (FH-CDMA) with the
FCSS/DS-CDMA, to increase signal-to-interference
plus noise ratio (SINR) (Chiba and Hamamura, 2007).
Each receiver of the FCHP/MH-CDMA is composed
of a time-frequency,two-dimensional, adaptivefinite-
duration impulse response (FIR) filter, which is larger
than the hopping pattern. The receiver returns part of
the filter coefficients to a transmitter. Since the sig-
nals transmitted in the FCHP/MH-CDMA consist of
FCHP-coded multiple frequency tones, which usually
result in large peak-to-average power ratio (PAR) that
increases energy consumption at the transmitter, it is
important to investigate the characteristics of PAR.
In this paper, the impact of limiting the number of
tones, the number of quantization bits, and tone level
on PAR and BER is clarified.
