MULTI USER DETECTION USING EQUALIZATION AND SUCCESSIVE INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION

摘要

A plurality of signals is received in a shared spectrum. Samples of the received user signals are produced (22) as a received vector. The received vector is segmented (24) into a plurality of segments. For each segment, successively determining symbols (28) for each user or group of signals (the group of signals having similar received power) by determining symbols for one user/group and removing a contribution of that one user/group from the received vector. The determined symbols corresponding to each segment are assembled into a data vector.
