Spreading Sequences

Group-blind multiuser detectors for uplink code-division multiple-access (CDMA) were developed by Wang and Host-Madsen. These detectors make use of the spreading sequences of known users to construct a group constraint to suppress the intracell interference. However, such techniques demand the estimation of the multipath channels and the delays of the known users. In the present paper, the blind generalized receiver is de-veloped for CDMA in fading multipath channels. The proposed generalized receiver utilizes the correlation in-formation between consecutively received signals to generate the corresponding group constraint. It is shown that by incorporating this group constraint, the proposed generalized receiver can provide different performance gains in both the uplink and downlink environments. Compared with the well-known group-blind detectors, our new methods only need to estimate the multipath channel of the desired user and do not require the channel es-timation of other users. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed generalized receiver outperforms the conventional blind linear multiuser detectors.
