Optimal Sequence and Performance for Desired User in Asynchronous CDMA System

Abstract

We consider asynchronous CDMA systems in no-fading environments with a particular focus on a certain user. This certain user is called a desired user in this paper. In such a situation, an optimal sequence, maximum Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and the maximum capacity for a desired user are derived with other spreading sequences being given and fixed. In addition, the maximum SINR and the optimal sequence for a desired user are written in terms of the minimum eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvector of a matrix, respectively. Since it is not straightforward to obtain an explicit form of the maximum SINR, we evaluate SINR and obtain the lower and upper bounds of the maximum SINR. From these bounds, the maximum SINR may get larger as the quantities written in terms of quadratic forms of other spreading sequences decrease. Further, we propose a method to obtain spreading sequences for all the users which achieve large SINRs. The performance of our proposed method is numerically verified.
