Narrow-band-interference suppression in multiuser CDMA systems

This paper handles the simultaneous suppression of narrow-band and multiaccess interference in code division multiple-access (CDMA) direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) systems. The basic structure we refer to is reminiscent of the decorrelating detector, but here the design strategy relies on the concept of combating jointly the two interference sources-precisely, a decision as to the bit transmitted by each user is made based on the projection of the observables onto the orthogonal complement to the subspace spanned by the other users' signatures and the narrow-band interference. We focus on several different implementations of such a strategy, assuming a different degree of prior knowledge as to the narrow-band interference. An important side result of the proposed approach is that, in general, complete suppression of data-like interference may be achieved through periodically time-varying processing. An adaptive version of such a receiver is also presented, wherein the projection direction is estimated based on suitable estimates of the covariance properties of the observables. The value of this method is also assessed by studying the rate of convergence of the estimated direction to the true projection direction.
