Abstract

An adaptive multi-user detector was developed for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems corrupted by non-Gaussian channel noise, which can be quite detrimental to the performance of the multi-user detectors based on classical white Gaussian assumption. This receiver simultaneously combats multiple-access interference (MAI) and non-Gaussian impulsive noise. The channel parameters are estimated and transmitted signals are jointly detected by a simple recursive algorithm derived from the EM/SAGE algorithm. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed technique is robust with wider applicability than conventional multi-user detectors in terms of near-far resistance and bit-error ratio (BER) when either MAI or non-Gaussian impulsive noise is dominant.
