Distributed multiuser detection for theTDMA cellular uplink
Matthew C. Valenti, B.D. Woerner · Electronics Letters · 1999
A method for performing multiuser detection using observations from multiple base stations is proposed. Log-likelihood ratio estimates of the data are calculated at each base station and combined to form the final decision statistic. The proposed architecture is applied to the time division multiple access (TDMA) cellular uplink, and it is shown that heavily overloaded systems can perform remarkably well.
