Course Title:

Multi-User Detection

Course Description:

Focuses on the fundamentals of joint data detection for cochannel users. Applications include magnetic recording channels and 3G base station design. Topics include the multiaccess channel, long sequences, random sequences, carrier modulation, nonantipodal modulation, matched-filter outputs, single-user matched filter, optimal receiver for the single-user channel, probability of error for asynchronous users, asymptotic multiuser efficiency and related measures, coherent single-user matched filter in Rayleigh fading, optimum coherent multiuser detection, minimum error probability in the asynchronous channel, optimum asymptotic efficiency, near-far resistance, performance analysis in Rayleigh fading, optimum noncoherent multiuser detection, decorrelating detector, truncated-window decorrelating detector, coherent decorrelator in the presence of fading, differentially coherent decorrelation, decorrelation for nonlinear modulation, nondecorrelating linear multiuser detection, mmse linear multiuser detection, linear multiuser detection, adaptive mmse linear multiuser detection, blind mmse multiuser detection, decision-driven multiuser detectors, successive cancellation, performance analysis of successive cancellation, and multistage detection.
