This programme aims to examine in detail the effect of imperfect channel estimates on performance of direct sequence code division multiple access (CDMA) systems.It will use two standard channel models to qualify the performance of channel estimation techniques in a variety of mobile and PCS environments. One of these models will be based on the COST 207 model for GSM, the other on a wide-band model consistent COST 231 and 235.The work will then move on to quantifying the reduction in performance of the main multi-user detection techniques currently proposed for direct sequence CDMA systems. Performance criteria will have to be devised during the programme, but will include things like minimum mean square error, tracking ability, average transmitter power used for estimation and complexity.Finally, the programme will look at ways of adapting the multi-user detection techniques to make them more robust to imperfect channel estimates and improve their performance in realistic environments.
