A novel blind diversity combining receiver for CDMA systems
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of blind multiple access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) suppression in direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. In order to take advantage of the diversity inherent to multipath channels, we introduce a blind RAKE multiuser receiver that proceeds in two steps. First, soft estimates of the desired user transmitted symbols are obtained from each propagation path using a bank of appropriate linearly constrained maximum likelihood linear (LCMLL) receivers. Afterwards, these estimates are adequately combined to enhance the signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR).
