Signal Reception Via Multi-Platform Receivers

Abstract

In this thesis a reference-based successive interference cancellation (RSIC) scheme is proposed for mitigating interference in multi-platform communications. The performances of two RSIC techniques (Non-Demodulated and Demodulated) for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system are analyzed. Simulations show RSIC schemes give considerable increase in performance compared to a system where interference cancellation is not utilized.
