Abstract This paper deals with a cancellation multiuser detector for CDMA communication systems. The proposed receiver, defined as selective partial parallel interference cancellation (SP‐PIC), is supposed to be used at the end of an up‐link channel characterized by multipath fading phenomena. The SP‐PIC main feature is to perform a weighted selective cancellation of the co‐channel interfering signals according to the received power level. With respect to other approaches, the proposed detector exhibits an improved bit error rate (BER) and a low computational complexity, linear with the number of users.
