CDMA System Model 1 K 1 P Multi-paths 1 billion mobile users !!! $ US 100 billion/year !!!

Optimum multiuser detection: (find optimum using exhaustive search algorithm) i.e., 2 K computational complexity in the # of users, K. Exceptions with polynomial complexity: stringent requirements on the signature waveforms design. These requirements limit the system capacity. Motivation: Design optimum/suboptimum detectors with acceptable complexity and performance. Problem statement & motivation

CDMA in AWGN Channel (1) The received signal employing antipodal signaling: where: K: number of users, E k : Energy/bit for user k, s k (t): unit-energy signature waveform for user k, b k  {1,-1}: bit value for user k, T: bit interval, n(t): Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) with one-sided power spectral density N o.

CDMA in AWGN Channel (2) The output of K filters matched to the users signature waveform and sampled at T are: where The output of the matched filters are sufficient statistics for the optimum detector:

The Idea View the coefficients of the optimum metric as weights indicating the order in which the bits are estimated indicating the order in which the bits are estimated Achieve decision regions to reduce the complexity while providing optimum detection Aim is to reduce computational complexity while maintaining the optimum detection No-need to compute the insignificant terms !!!

Reduced Complexity MaximumLikelohood (RCML) Algorithm (1) It is based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) metric: It views the coefficients of the bits in the ML metric {A i, B ij,  i  {1,…K}and j>i} as weights that indicate the order in which bits can be estimated. Large values of the coefficients have more effect on deciding the bit value than smaller values, i.e. Order of their contribution to the ML metric.

RCML Algorithm (2) b n is optimum solution iff Example: K=3,

RCML Algorithm (3) Rule.1 Rule.2 if elseif PRUNE end Rule.3 Once User i is optimally detected, apply the rules to K-1 user system. if

What can be Cooked Next ? Test the performance of algorithms for Asynchronous CDMA systems Extend the RCML algorithm for Devising a New Suboptimum Multiuser Detector : Consider coefficients that are greater than some certain value Z (eg. mean). Terminate the algorithm if the largest value does not change after P stages. Extend the RCML algorithm for fading channels
