A novel CDMA multi-user detection scheme, orthogonal decision-feedback detector (ODFD), is proposed for a synchronous CDMA system in this paper. It is robust for its near-far resistance and high multi-user detection efficiency with a performance similar to that of decorrelating decision-feedback detector (DDFD) but with a reduced complexity. The ODFD scheme employs a match-filter bank that matches a set of ortho-normal sequences. The ortho-normal sequences are generated by the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation procedure based on the spreading codes. The ODFD algorithm involves only with the ortho-normal coefficient-matrix which requires no frequent recalculations even when system parameters change. Successive decision-feedback detection is carried out immediately at the output of the ODFD match-filter bank without matrix inversion operations, resulting in a much simplified structure.
This paper proposes a new multiuser detector, quasi-decorrelating detector (QDD), for a synchronous CDMA system. The QDD has the same complexity as that of decorrelator detector (DD) although it uses feedback loops, the number of which is adjustable to balance the near-far resistance and noise enhancement. The results show that the QDD outperforms the DD under various operational conditions. The impact of different spreading codes on the performance of the QDD is studied. It is shown that the Gold code is the best spreading code suitable for the QDD.
