Equal BER performance in linear successive interference cancellation for CDMA systems.

In this contribution, we calculate the received power distribution required to obtain equal bit-error rate (BER) performance for all links in a code-division multiple-access system employing a linear successive interference cancellation (SIC) receiver at the base station for an additive white Gaussi...
