A low complexity turbo adaptive interference cancellation using antenna arrays for W-CDMA
D. Mottier, Loïc Brunel · 2002
This paper investigates an adaptive iterative space-time interference cancellation receiver for wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA). Each iteration of the interference cancellation includes adaptive beamforming, adaptive path-combining and soft-input soft-output decoding. The complexity of the demodulation process using very simple normalized least mean square (N-LMS) adaptive algorithms is limited with no need of space-time channel estimation. Adaptive space-time processing algorithms are shown to benefit from the iterative process. Simulation results on a UMTS-like scenario show that this receiver achieves performance that is very close to the single user bound, even for highly interfered networks.
