2 Antennas and Propagation permutation spreading technique comines spreading and space time coding to produce the effect of transmit diversity without retransmitting data from different antennas Compared to a conventional MIMO-CDMA system, which assigns a unique spreading waveform from a set of mutually orthogonal waveforms to each antenna, the MIMO-CDMA system employing either parity-it-selected or permutation spreading provides significant power gains This is demonstrated in [6] through the use of Monte Carlo simulations The BER performance of the aforementioned spreading techniques for MIMO-CDMA is also determined for systems encountering multiple access interference MAI, spatial correlation, and/or channel estimation errors [7, ] What is lacking in [6 ] is an analysis of the BER performance of MIMO-CDMA systems, employing these techniques Such an analysis permits us to etter understand why the new spreading techniques provide improvements over conventional MIMO-CDMA systems and this can, in turn, permit us to improve upon the new spreading techniques In this paper, we provide, for the first time, an analytical expression for the upper ound of the BER for a MIMO- CDMA system employing parity-it-selected or permutation spreading MIMO-CDMA System A MIMO-CDMA system has N t transmit and receive antennas The serial data, whose it rate is R,isconverted into N t parallel data streams, each with it rate R /N t The ith data stream of user m is spread y spreading waveform w mi t, which is an antipodal signal with chip rate R c and is selected from a set of mutually orthogonal spreading waveforms C m ={c m t, c m t, c mn t} In other words, T, i = j, c mi tc mj tdt = T 0 0, i j, where T = N t /R is the signaling interval In this paper, we consider the use of short spreading waveforms A short spreading waveform is one whose duration is equal to one signaling interval Thus on the interval 0 t T, the ith spreading waveform from the set C m can e descried mathematically y L c mi t = c j mi p t jt c, j= where c j mi =± is the jth ipolar chip of the mth user s ith spreading waveform, T c = /R c is the chip interval, L is the numer of chips in the spreading waveform and is given y L = T/T c = R c N t /R,andpt is the rectangular chip pulse shape given y, 0 t T c, pt = 0, otherwise 3 Data in Serial-toparallel converter n n n N t w n mt w n mt w n mn t t transmit antennas α n α n N t α n α n α n α n N t α n α n N t α n receive antennas Figure : MIMO-CDMA transmitter and link gains Different users are assigned unique sets of spreading waveforms Therefore, C m C l = for m l The transmitter, receive antennas and link gains are shown in Figure On interval n T t nt signaling interval n, the data to e transmitted is m n = [m n, m n,, m n N t ], where m n k is either 0 or with equal proaility and they are independent of one another In this paper, we assume that inary phase shift keying BPSK modulation is used Therefore, we define n = m n = [ n, n,, n N t ], where n k for our aseand model is ± with equal proaility and E[ n k n g ] = 0, if k g, where E[ ] is the expectation operator Each independent identically distriuted iid it to e transmitted on the nth signaling interval is assigned to a different transmit antenna, therefore, n k is transmitted on transmit antenna kthemth user s data it, transmitted y transmit antenna k on the nth signaling interval, is multiplied y spreading waveform w n mk t The complex channel gain etween transmit antenna k and receive antenna j on the nth signaling interval is α n ij The receiver for MIMO-CDMA is shown in Figure Here, the signal received y each receive antenna is correlated with each spreading waveform, and the contriutions from the different antennas are comined according to the spreading technique used The kth matched filter output on receive antenna j and signaling interval n is u n jk The expressions for these decision variales and how they are comined depend on the spreading method used y the transmitter 3 Parity-Bit-Selected Spreading Parity-it-selected spreading for spread spectrum systems is introducedin[] The technique therein is modified slightly for MIMO-CDMA the vector m n is input to a parity-it generator The parity-it generator produces a vector p n = [p n, p n,, p n N ], where N is the numer of spreading codes used and is given y N = lengthp There are as many parity

4 4 Antennas and Propagation u n and each of the vectors in Tale is computed, and the message vector corresponding to the smallest squared distance is selected as the most likely transmitted message In terms of BER performance, this is equivalent to correlating u n to each of the vectors in Tale and selecting the one with the highest correlation value The correlation technique is in fact the least computationally complex method as manytermsinthevectorsintale are 0 However, if additional coding is used, the Euclidean distances are useful for calculating log likelihood ratios for the decoder 4BERPerformanceofMIMO-CDMAUsing Parity-Bit-Selected Spreading In CDMA systems, it error rate BER performance is a very important parameter Not only does BER determine the quality of transmission, ut also does it determine the amount of data that can e transmitted per unit of andwidth As every user contriutes to the interference levels at the receiver, the BER of each user increases as more users access the channel Thus, the maximum numer of users is determined y the amount of interference that can e tolerated We will determine the BER performance of MIMO- CDMA employing parity-it-selected spreading analytically using the following assumptions The MIMO-CDMA system under consideration uses four transmit antennas and eight spreading waveforms as in [] and as detailed in Tale The fading process is assumed to e frequency nonselective In other words, the multipath spread is zero and there is no channel induced intersymol interference ISI 3 The channel gains are independent slowly varying circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian random variales with zero mean and unit variance 4 The channel gains are known to the receiver, thus coherent detection is performed When determining the BER of communication systems operating in Rayleigh fading channel with diversity order L, typically we are required to integrate a Q-function multiplied y the proaility density function pdf of the energy per it to noise spectral density ratio E /N o The pdf of E /N o is a chi-square distriution with L degrees of freedom The result of this integral takes to form of pl, x [9] whichis shown in: pl, x = μ where μ = x/x + L L k=0 L +k +μ k, 9 k 4 Single Receive Antenna, = We start y assuming that there is only one receive antenna Thus, the received vector is [ u n = u n, u n,, u n ] N 0 Tale : The received vectors for the parity-it-selected spreading technique for N t = 4and = Messages m n Received vector u n 0 : 0000 [ E α n + α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 5 : [ E α n + α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] : 000 [0, E α n + α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 4 : 0 [0, E α n + α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] : 000 [0, 0, E α n + α n α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 3 : 0 [0, 0, E α n + α n α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] 3 : 00 [0, 0, 0, E α n + α n α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0] : 00 [0, 0, 0, E α n + α n α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0, 0, 0] 4 : 000 [0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n 4, 0, 0, 0] : 0 [0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n 4, 0, 0, 0] 5 : 00 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0] 0 : 00 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n 3 α n 4, 0, 0] 6 : 00 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n α n 4, 0] 9 : 00 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n α n 4, 0] 7 : 0 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n α n 3 α n 4 ] : 000 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, E α n α n α n 3 α n 4 ] In the asence of noise, the set of all received vectors form an dimensional constellation The points of the constellation are given in Tale The variale E is the average energy per it For ML detection, the proaility of symol error, as well as the BER, can e determined y the Euclidean distance etween the constellation points Let us assume that the transmitted message is message The proaility that message 5 is detected, given that message 0 is transmitted, is a function of the distance etween their constellation points, d 5,0 This distance is given y d5,0 = u u 0000 α n = 4E + α n 4 We let X = α n + α n 4 and Z = X Because of assumption 3 aove, X is a zero mean complex Gaussian random variale with variance 4 Thus, Z has a chi-square proaility density function pdf with degrees of freedom [9] It has a mean of 4 Thus, the pdf of Z is given y f Z z = 4 e z/4, 0<z< The proaility of incorrectly detecting message 5 when message 0 is transmitted is P5 0 = erfc d 5,0 = 4N o erfc E Z, 3 N o where N o is the single-sided noise spectral density We see that P5 0 is a function of the random variale Z Thus, E[P5 0] = p 5 0 is found y multiplying P5 0 y
