Recent results on adaptive multiuser signal separation in CDMA; important steps in meeting the needs of third-generation wireless comm. systems

CDMA is predicted to be an important method for the third generation wireless communication systems. However, for CDMA to satisfy the need for an increased number of simultaneous users, multiuser interference must be effectively combated. For such cancelers, adaptive methods are quite attractive. We summarize some of the results on adaptive multiuser detection, obtained at the Center for Comm. and Signal Processing.
