Abstract

Objective: This work provides a comprehensive study of a novel orthogonal interleaver set based on particular numerical equation for generation of user specific interleavers. Methods/Analysis: Performance analysis is done based upon the computer simulations in various scenarios with IDMA system and SC-FDMA-IDMA system, under different channel conditions including Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Under Water Acoustic (UWA) channel to compare proposed interleaver with other interleavers in literature. The performance of different interleavers is compared on the basis of bit error rate (BER) results and also by hardware and bandwidth requirements. Findings: Compared to other interleavers discussed in literature, the proposed interleaver set is easy to generate, more-over this work has presented a method which doesn’t require common master random interleaving pattern to develop other interleaving patterns. The analysis confirms that the proposed method of interleaver generation outperforms various other interleavers in terms of BER performance and bandwidth requirement, while providing considerably lower complexity. Applications: Applications of orthogonal interleavers include all non-orthogonal multiple access schemes based on Multi-User Detection (MUD) strategy including Interleave Division Multiple Access (IDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-Interleave Division Multiple Access (OFDM-IDMA) and Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access-Interleave Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA-IDMA) scheme, employing user specific interleavers for user separation.
