Convergence and BER Approximation of HIC Detector for DS-CDMA System in Rayleigh Fading Multipath Environment

Abstract

In this paper we present mathematic analysis and implementation of hybrid interference canceller (HIC) for direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system in multipath environment over Rayleigh channel. The HIC detector is examined for convergence. The bit error rate (BER) for the system is obtained using Simplified Improved Gaussian Approximation (SIGA). Using this expression, BER is plotted for the Rayleigh channel having exponentially decaying power delay profile (PDP) as well as flat PDP. The theoretical results are compared with the simulated system results.
