A new multiuser detection scheme EPIC (Equalized Parallel Interference Cancellation) is disclosed. A rake receiver signal zRake output by a rake receiver is detected, which receives a spread spectrum composite signal r comprising plural user signals b 1 ,b 2 , . . . ,bK that have been spread with spreading codes. At first, first hard-decision values bRake are produced on the basis of the rake receiver outputs. Then, first parallel interference cancellation values are produced on the basis of the first hard-decision values, and second hard-decision values bPIC are produced on the basis of the first parallel interference cancellation values. After that, the first and second hard-decision values are combined for producing first combination values, and second parallel interference cancellation values are on the basis of the first combination values. Finally, third hard-decision values are produced on the basis of the second parallel interference cancellation values and the third hard-decision values are output as first stage equalized parallel interference cancellation values bEPIC(1). |
