Abstract
- The multi-path effect makes high speed broadband communications a very challenging task due to the severe inter-symbol interference (ISI). By concentrating energy in both the spatial and temporal domains, time-reversal (TR) transmission technique provides a great potential of low-complexity energy-efficient communications. In this paper, a novel concept of time-reversal division multiple access (TRDMA) is proposed as a wireless channel access method based on its high-resolution spatial focusing effect. It is proposed to use TR structure in multi-user downlink systems over multi-path channels, where signals of different users are separated solely by TRDMA. Both the single-transmit-antenna scheme and its enhanced version with multiple transmit antennas are developed and evaluated in this paper. The system performance is investigated in terms of its effective signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), the achievable sum rate and the achievable rates with outage. And some further discussions regarding its advantage over conventional rake receivers and the impact of spatial correlations between users are given at the end of this paper. It is shown in both analytical and simulation results that desirable properties and satisfying performances can be achieved in the proposed TRDMA multi-user downlink system, which makes TRDMA a promising candidate for future energy-efficient low-complexity broadband wireless communications.
