Abstract

This paper deals with a modified version of a blind adaptive multiuser detector for direct sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) wireless communication systems which is named precombining blind adaptive multiuser detector (PBA-MUD). The main properties of this receiver are low complexity, multiple-access interference mitigation and remarkable near-far resistance in time-varying multipath fading scenarios. In particular, the PBA-MUD is based on a blind adaptive algorithm that allows the detector to avoid deep fading impairments and the cancellation of the desired signal due to signature sequence mismatch. Nevertheless, such a receiver experiences a performance degradation in fast fading channels. In order to overcome this problem, a window reprocessing technique (Del Re et al., 2001) was introduced which yielded a new blind detection algorithm. It will be shown that this receiver, together with this new algorithm [precombining reprocessing window blind adaptive multiuser detector (PWBA-MUD)] allows a high performance without requiring training sequences or the knowledge of the interfering signature waveforms in multipath fast fading channels.
