Interference cancellation in multipath environment for mobile WiMAX Geo-location system

In mobile WiMAX, geo-location is possible at the PSS (personal subscriber station) by using the preamble signals broadcasted by all the RAS (Radio Access Station) simultaneously. Using relative arrival times of signals, user location can be obtained by TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) positioning....

Description
Summary:In mobile WiMAX, geo-location is possible at the PSS (personal subscriber station) by using the preamble signals broadcasted by all the RAS (Radio Access Station) simultaneously. Using relative arrival times of signals, user location can be obtained by TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) positioning. However, sufficient number of RAS should be detected to obtain the location in this method. Since mobile WiMAX system employs cellular network structure, the number of RAS that PSS can detect is limited due to low SNR and CCI (co-channel interference) by neighboring RAS. To detect sufficient number of RAS at the PSS, hearability should be enhanced by increasing SNR (signal to noise ratio) and SIR (signal to interference ratio), which can be achieved using long integration and interference cancellation. In multipath environment, however, interference cancellation does not remove the CCI completely. Therefore, multipath mitigation and interference cancellation method should be merged and solved together. In this paper, detection performance after interference cancellation is analyzed using mobile WiMAX geo-location system. Simulation results show that trilateration is possible in most area of the cell coverage after interference cancellation in multipath environment, except at the vicinity of the RAS.
