A linear CDMA detector based on minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR)
Fu‐Chun Zheng · 2002
A bit-level processing (BLP) based linear CDMA detector is derived following the principle of minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR). The combining taps for the MVDR detector are determined from (1) the covariance matrix of the matched filter output, and (2) the corresponding row (or column) of the user correlation matrix. Due to the interference suppression capability of MVDR and the fact that no inversion of the user correlation matrix is involved, the influence of the synchronisation errors is greatly reduced. The detector performance is demonstrated via computer simulations (both synchronisation errors and intercell interference are considered).
