Abstract

This letter presents an effective space-time multiuser detector (MUD) with the assistance of soft information in multipath code division multiple access (CDMA) channels. The space-time MUD considered is a simple, separable spatial-temporal filter which consists of a single spatial filter and a single temporal filter. Based on the soft-decision outputs determined in the previous iteration, the soft information is then exchanged in the alternating updates of either the spatial filters or the temporal filters. Furnished simulations show that the proposed scheme can offer substantial performance improvement compared with previous works, especially in highly loaded scenarios.
