A chip-based multiuser detector for the downlink of a DS-CDMA system using a folded state-transition trellis.

A chip-based multiuser detector for the downlink of a DS-CDMA system using a folded state-transition trellis.

The maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) multiuser detector has very good performance but at the expense of high computational complexity. The Viterbi algorithm is employed to implement the MLSE in the asynchronous uplink. In this scheme, the various bit-combinations are taken to be the dif...
