CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 725,808 filed Dec. 2, 2003, which claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 60 / 452,162, filed Mar. 3, 2003, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] This invention generally relates to wireless communications, and more particularly, to joint detection in such systems. BACKGROUND
[0003] Joint detectors, such as multi-user detectors (MUD), reduce the effect of multiple access interference, and hence increase the system capacity. A MUD cancels intra-cell interference and the system capacity is determined by the efficiency of the MUD algorithm and the intercell interference. In addition to capacity improvement, MUD alleviates the near / far problem typical to direct sequence—code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems.
[0004] Conventional MUD algorithms extract all codes from a system response matrix (i.e., the A-ma...
