Blind turbo multiuser detection for long-code uplink CDMA with unknown interferences
Zigang Yang, Xiaodong Wang · 2002
We consider the problem of demodulating the multiuser symbols in an uplink long-code CDMA system in the presence of unknown out-cell multiple-access interference and narrowband interference. A novel blind Bayesian multiuser detector is derived based on the Bayesian inference of all unknown quantities. The Gibbs sampler, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure, is then used for Bayesian computation. Being soft-input and soft-output, the blind Bayesian multiuser detector is designed to be a part of a turbo multiuser receiver, which refines its processing based on the information from the decoding stage.
