Multiuser Detection

Graduate

This course presents an introduction to multiple-access communication systems: time-division multiple access (TDMA), frequency-division multiple access (FDMA), and code-division multiple access (CDMA); linear receivers for synchronous and asynchronous CDMA systems, blind multiuser detection (direct methods and subspace methods), linear decorrelating and minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) detectors, group-blind multiuser detection in multipath channels, adaptive multiuser detection, space- time multiuser detection, and turbo multiuser detection. Practical applications are demonstrated through course assignments. (3 lecture hours a week.)
