Steady-state analysis of constrained normalized adaptive filters for MAI reduction by energy conservation arguments

摘要

We derive the steady-state performance of a common class of adaptive filters for multiple access interference (MAI) reduction in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The adaptive filters under study utilize estimates of the desired user's amplitude and are divided into three groups of least-mean-square (LMS) algorithms differing by the choice of the normalization factor. The steady-state performance is deduced from energy-conservation relations that include a possibly erroneous estimate of the desired user's amplitude. The analyses show that blind algorithms using information about the desired user's amplitude achieve similar performance to that of nonblind algorithms. In addition, geometric considerations reveal the conditions under which the choice of the normalization factor is expected to have great impact on the convergence properties of the algorithms. Numerical simulations show good agreement with theory.
