Metric correction for multi user detection, for long codes DS-CDMA

摘要

A receiver in a wireless communication system utilizes a metric to minimize the error probability in transmitted information. The receiver may use a detector utilizing multiuser detection or rake detection. The output symbols of the detector are examined and a metric is obtained related to the noise and interference that may have distorted the transmission of the symbol. This metric is supplied to a channel decoder along with the symbol to improve decoding.
