Decision-feedback MAP receiver for time-selective fading CDMA channels

A decision-feedback maximum a posteriori (MAP) receiver is proposed for code-division multiple-access channels with time-selective fading. The receiver consists of a sequence-matched filter and a MAP demodulator. Output samples (more than one per symbol) from the matched filter are fed into the MAP demodulator. The MAP demodulator exploits the channel memory by delaying the decision and using a sequence of observations. This receiver also rejects multiple-access interference and estimates channel fading coefficients implicitly to give good demodulation decisions. Moreover, computer simulations are performed to evaluate the bit-error rate performance of the receiver under various channel conditions.
