The consider the problem of recovering p synchronous communication signals that are transmitted through a multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) linear channel and are, therefore, received in the presence of both interuser (IUI) and intersymbol interference (ISI). A multichannel linear equalization approach is taken, and we propose to adjust the equalizer coefficients with a blind adaptive algorithm (without the use of training data). This multiuser constant modulus algorithm (MU-CMA) is derived from the minimization of a cost function that penalizes deviations of the equalized signals from the constant modulus property as well as cross-correlations between them. The proposed scheme appears to be an appealing technique for multiuser blind equalization that combines good convergence properties with low computational complexity.
