  Abstract

In cellular mobile radio systems with frequency reuse, the interference signals degrade the channel estimation and signal detection performance due to the low signal-to-interference ratio near coverage boundaries. When the preamble pilot sequences from different cells are orthogonal or located in disjointed positions, they can be used for multi-cell channel estimation and interference cancellation. In time-varying channels caused by Doppler spread, data pilot symbols are needed for channel estimations. However, data pilot symbols are usually located in identical positions for the overhead reduction, which degrades the channel estimation performance. In this paper, we demonstrate a significant amount of performance improvement is achieved by multiplying different pseudonoise (PN) sequences to the data pilot symbols from adjacent interference cells. In particular, for detection scheme using maximal ratio combining (MRC) and inter-cell spatial demultiplexing (ISD), quantitative performance gain of spectral efficiency for different values of Doppler frequency and interference power is presented.
