Novel Scheme for Blind Multiuser Detection Using CMA Adaptive Array

摘要

This paper proposes a novel blind multiuser detection scheme using CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) adaptive array. In the proposed scheme, the received signal is processed in two steps. In the primary step, only one user is captured by the CMA adaptive array, and at the same time, the other users' directions of arrival (DOA) are estimated. In the secondary step, initial weight vectors are set based on the estimated DOAs, and it processes with CMAs again to capture the other users in parallel. Thus, all the users are detected exactly and recovered separately. The Least-squares CMA is applied as an optimization algorithm to improve the performance of the proposed scheme, and the performances using the proposed scheme with linear arrays and circular arrays are discussed in detail. Simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed scheme.
