Abstract: In this paper, we describe and evaluate multistage partial parallel interference cancellation (PPIC) multiuser detectors to improve the performance of multi-carrier direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) power line communication (PLC) systems over frequency selective fading channels with non-perfect power control. To improve the effectiveness of PPIC, we examined the adequate partial cancellation weights (PCWs) for the PPIC. Thus, the performance improvement in MC-CDMA based PLC systems using PPIC multiuser detectors is investigated. The high data rate demanded in the multimedia PLC systems can be offered by the MC-CDMA systems. However, the multiple access interferences (MAIs) exist in the frequency selective fading channels for the down link even though using an orthogonal pseudo-random noise (PN) code and occur for the up link due to the non-orthogonal spreading codes. In the high system load, the MAIs become the dominant factor degrading the !
performance. Therefore, the performance of a multistage PPIC is further investigated for the MC-CDMA PLC systems. Simulation results show that with adequate cancellation weights, the PPIC scheme can obtain a superior performance than the conventional PIC scheme, especially at heavy system load. Furthermore, with the bit-error rate (BER) requirements of 0.001, the five-stage PPIC with PCWs, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1 for stage 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, increases the capacity from 15 of CPIC to 19 users with the processing gain 32 over the power line channels.
