Title
Multiuser processing using blind source separation methods
Abstract
Multiuser Processing refers to a set of fundamental techniques for improving the performance of the modern wireless communications systems. Most of these techniques have been proposed and studied for specific scenarios, according to the multiple access technology to be employed. The theory and methods of blind source separation (BSS) can provide a more general framework over which multiuser techniques may be investigated and analysed as a particular case. This is the main idea to be exploited along the present paper. We show how this point of view opens perspectives to deal with important problems of multiuser systems such as signal detection and collision resolution. For this task, an information-theoretic based criterion and algorithm, issued from BSS theory, is presented together with an algorithm for estimation of the number of active users in the system. Simulation results are carried out to illustrate the performance of the designed approach, compared to other blind and trained solutions. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
