Iterative multiuser detection for turbo-coded synchronous CDMA in Gaussian and non-Gaussian impulsive noise

We develop an iterative multiuser receiver for decoding turbo-coded synchronous code-division multiple-access signals in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise. A soft-input soft-output nonlinear multiuser detector is combined with a set of single-user channel decoders in an iterative detection/decoding structure. The nonlinear multiuser detector utilizes the prior probabilities of each user's bits to form soft estimates used for multiple-access interference cancellation. The channel decoders perform turbo-code decoding and produce posterior probabilities which are fed back to the multiuser detector for use as prior probabilities. Simulation results show that the proposed multiuser receiver performs well in both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise. In particular, single-user turbo-code performance can be approached within a few iterations with medium to low cross correlation (/spl rho//spl les/0.5).
