Abstract

A CDMA receiver with enhanced multiple access interference (MAI) suppressionis proposed for a pilot symbols assisted system over multipath channels. Thedesign of the receiver involves the following procedure. First, blind adaptivecorrelators are constructed at different fingers based on the scheme ofgeneralized sidelobe canceller (GSC) to collect the multipath signals andsuppress MAI. A low-complexity partially adaptive (PA) realization of the GSCcorrelators is proposed which incorporates multi-user information for reducedrank processing. By a judiciously designed decorrelating procedure, a new GSCstructure is obtained in which the MAI are decorrelated and suppressedindividually. The next step is then a simple coherent combining of thecorrelator outputs with pilot aided channel estimation. Finally, furtherperformance enhancement is achieved by an iterative scheme in which the signalis reconstructed and subtracted from the GSC correlators input data, leadingto faster convergence of the receiver. The proposed low-complexity PA CDMAmulti-user receiver is shown to be robust to multipath fading and channelerrors, and achieve nearly the same performance of the ideal maximum SINR andMMSE receivers by using a small number of pilot symbols.
