Performance of MMSE Receiver based Multi Input Multi Output-Interleave Division Multiple-Access System with Multi-user Detection over Frequency Selective Wireless Communication Channel

Problem statement: This study presents the performance analysis of turbo assisted Interleave Division Multiple-Access (IDMA) system with Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) support for multi user scenario over correlated frequency selective and uncorrelated frequency selective channel. Approach: The key principle of IDMA is that interleaver unique which distinguishes the users in contrast to spreading sequence in Code Division Multiple Access System (CDMA). Results: In this work, we assume that Interleavers are generated independently and randomly. At the receiver, we employed Ordered SIC (OSIC) technique using ZF and MMSE criterion to combat Inter Antenna Interference (IAI) and Multi User Interference (MUI) problem along with iterative decoding to improve the performance in terms of BER. The performance of system has been discussed for different channel conditions with realistic channel model using extensive simulation runs based on Monte Carlo simulation trials. We have exhibited the flexibility and robustness provided by MIMO-IDMA. Conclusion/Recommendations: It has been proved from the results that IDMA principle can be applied to realize many potential performance gains highlighted by information theory, including coding gain multiplexing gain and multiuser gain. Simulation results presented to demonstrate the benefits of IDMA with MUD and iterative decoding. It is discerned that IDMA performs better than CDMA in frequency selective channel for high load conditions which is assessed through computer simulation results.
