Genetic algorithm-based MMSE receiver for MC-CDMA systems transmitting over time-varying mobile channels

A novel multi-user detector, based on a genetic algorithm-assisted per-carrier MMSE criterion, is proposed for MC-CDMA systems transmitting over time-varying multipath fading channels. The analysed multi-user detector outperforms state-of-the-art adaptive receivers based on deterministic gradient algorithms, particularly for an increasing number of users.
