Outline:

The Swedish Wireless IP project studies
problems that are crucial in the evolution of UMTS towards high
data rates, as well as in future 4G technologies aimed at
rapidly mobile terminals. The goal is to attain higher
throughputs for packet data in particular in downlinks,
without unnecessary
bandwidth expansion and while providing acceptable
quality of service for various classes of traffic.
This research is also performed within the
EU Integrated Project WINNER.
At IEEE VTC-Fall 2003, we presented our
concept for an adaptive OFDM downlink
in four interrelated papers (see links below).
We are also performing research on corresponding
TDMA/OFDMA uplinks.
However, high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR)
is an inherent drawback of OFDM, which requires
highly linear transmitting power amplifiers and more power
back-off than single-carrier systems with the same average
power output. This will directly translate into higher RF
front-end cost and faster battery drain in the uplink
mobile terminals.
Accurate time and frequency synchronization for
different active users in the uplink is also a problematic issue
in an OFDM based system.
In this paper, we therefore investigate
an alternative, the use of TDMA single-carrier
transmission in adaptive uplinks.

Abstract:
-
Recent research has shown that a single-carrier system
with frequency domain equalization can be a potential
alternative to an OFDM-based system in a single user case.
In this paper we propose and evaluate an adaptive single-carrier
TDMA uplink with scheduling for broadband cellular
packet data systems.
Frequency division duplex (FDD)
is assumed. Multi- user channel estimation and channel
prediction are considered. The adaptive modulation scheme
is optimized to maximize the throughput including also the
ARQ part of the transmission.
Frequency domain equalization
is employed to combat the inter-symbol-interference (ISI).
With the proposed design, the simulation results show
that the multiuser diversity gain in spectral efficiency is
limited in a wide-band system, which indicates that an
OFDM based system might be a more favorable candidate.
