Layered space time CDMA receiver with joint iterative detection, channel estimation and decoding

摘要

We propose a layered space time (LST) transceiver in a multiuser code division multiple access (CDMA) mobile communication system. In particular, we examine a multiuser iterative receiver with joint detection, channel estimation and decoding in a frequency selective fading channel. The iterative parallel interference canceller (PIC) with statistics combining is used as the multiuser detection scheme and a least mean square (LMS) adaptive algorithm is applied to estimate the multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) frequency selective fading channel. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of this receiver. It is shown that the performance of the receiver with iterative channel estimation is close to that of the receiver with perfect channel state information (CSI).
