Abstract

This paper deals with a turbo multiuser detector suitable for applications in overloaded coded DS-CDMA systems. The turbo-MUD receiver is based on the use of a linear MMSE detector in the first iteration and a parallel interference cancellation scheme in the successive ones. The inputs of the interference cancellator are both the detector outputs and the soft information from a bank of turbo decoders. The performance of the proposed receiver has been derived by means of computer simulations and applications of the density evolution theory: in particular, this technique permits to properly evaluate the number of MMSE iterations, simplifying the overall receiver design.
