A Family of Likelihood Ascent Search Multiuser Detectors: Approach to Single-User Performance via Quasi-Large Random Sequence CDMA
Abstract
Description
Since Tse and Verdu proved that the global maximum likelihood (GML) detector achieves unit asymptotic multiuser efficiency (AME) in the limit of large random spreading (LRS) CDMA, no suboptimal detector has been found to achieve unit AME. In this letter, we obtain that the WSLAS detector with a linear per-bit complexity achieves unit AME in the LRS-CDMA with a channel load < 1/2 - 1/(4ln2) bits/s/Hz. For a practical system with any user number, a quasi LRS-CDMA is then proposed to approach the single-user performance in the high SNR regime.
