Multi-user multi-sensor detectors for CDMA networks

Considers a code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular network and proposes sub-optimal multiuser detectors which exploit a type of diversity inherent in the system and are based on the processing of signals received at multiple base stations. The authors investigate the performance of conventional matched-filter, linear, and decision-based detection schemes, using this diversity scheme, for both synchronous and asynchronous systems. The detection of user signals is based on tracking the signals at several base stations. The optimal detector would operate on all the signals received at all the base stations but would have a high degree of complexity. The authors discuss the case where the detection of a given signal is based on received signals at a small subset of base stations. They show that with judicious selection of this smaller set of base stations, good performance can be obtained without much increase in complexity. >
