Multiuser detection for vector multiple access channels using generalized decision feedback equalization

Abstract

This paper considers the optimal multiuser detection problem for the vector Gaussian multiple access channel with multiple inputs and multiple outputs (MIMO). A practical bit-loading and multiuser decision feedback scheme based on generalized decision feedback equalization (GDFE) is proposed. This GDFE-based detection scheme, when used with an optimized transmitter, achieves the extreme points in the multiple access channel capacity region.
