Abstract

En 中文
The demand for high data rates and large system capacity has posed significant challenges for medium access control (MAC) methods. Successive interference cancellation (SIC) is a classical multi-user detection (MUD) method; however, it suffers from an error propagation problem. To address this deficiency, we propose a method called Virtual Signal Processing-Based Integrated Multi-User Detection (VSP-IMUD). In VSP-IMUD, the received mixed multi-user signals are treated as an equivalent signal. The channel ambiguity corresponding to each user’s signal is then examined. For channels with non-zero ambiguity values, the signal components are detected using zero-forcing (ZF) reception. Next, the detected ambiguous signal components are reconstructed and subtracted from the received mixed signal using SIC. Once all the ambiguous signals are detected, the remaining signal components with zero ambiguity values are equated to a virtual integrated signal, to which a matched filter (MF) is applied. Finally, by selecting the signal with the highest channel gain and adopting its data as the reference symbol, the remaining signals’ dataset can be determined. Our theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that VSP-IMUD effectively reduces the frequency of SIC applications and mitigates its error propagation effects, thereby improving the system’s bit-error rate (BER) performance.
