MIMO Multi Carrier Interleave Division Multiple Access System with Multiuser Detection: Performance Results

This paper provides the performance analysis of multi input multi output (MIMO) Multi carrier (MC) inter-leaver based multiple-access system with multiuser detection. Interleave-division multiple access (IDMA) is a scheme in which users are separated by employing different interleavers instead of different signatures as in a conventional code-division multiple-access (CDMA) scheme. The basic principle of IDMA is that the interleaver is different for different users. Interleavers are generated independently and randomly. At the receiver, ZF, LLSE, VBLAST/ZF/MAP and VBLAST/LLSE/MAP detectors are employed. The performance of the system is analyzed for different channel conditions using extensive simulation runs based on Monte Carlo simulation trials. Simulation results divulge that VBLAST/LLSE/MAP detector results in significant performance amelioration compared to other detectors as applied to MC/IDMA system.
