Abstract

We study the application of differential evolution optimization algorithm to the problem of multiuser detection (MUD) and the suppression of multiple-access interference (MAI) in time-hopping UWB (TH-UWB) system is carried out considering the performance-complexity trade-off. The importance of MUD for achieving high data or low bit error rates in these systems has already been established in several studies. However, the optimum MUD can be characterized as a nondeterministic polynomial-time hard combinatorial optimization problem such that the computational complexity increases exponentially with number of user. In this paper, we proposed modified differential evolution (MDE) optimization algorithm with novel mutation and crossover strategy based MUD is investigated by simulations, when communicating over Saleh---Valenzuela (S---V) channel model. The RAKE detector is used as the first stage to initialize the MDE-based MUD. Then, the MDE algorithm is applied to detect the received data bit by optimizing an objective function incorporating the system of the RAKE detector. The performance evaluation with extensive simulations show that our proposed MDE based MUD can go to convergence rapidly under TH-UWB channel model, the bit error ratio performance is better than of the traditional MUD.
