Identification of active users in synchronous CDMA multiuser detection.

The level of multiple access interference (MAI) in code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems is a time-varying parameter related to the number of active users. Almost all existing multiuser detection schemes were designed based on a priori information of the active users. In many si...
