Receiver Multiuser Diversity Aided Multi-Stage Minimum Mean-Square Error Detection for Heavily Loaded DS-CDMA and SDMA Systems

摘要

By investigating the conditions required for successive interference cancellation multiuser detectors (SIC-MUD) to achieve near-optimum BER performance, we propose and investigate a so-called receiver multiuser diversity aided multi-stage minimum mean-square error MUD (RMD/MS-MMSE MUD), which is operated in the SIC principles. The BER performance of the RMD/MS-MMSE MUD is investigated in association with both the direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DSCDMA) over either Gaussian or Rayleigh fading channels, and the space-division multiple-access (SDMA) over Rayleigh fading channels. Furthermore, we consider both full-load and overload scenarios in comparison with the spreading factor
