Space-time SIC multiuser detection algorithm and its performance in Rayleigh fading channel

Abstract

In this paper, a space-time successive interference cancellation (ST-SIC) scheme equipped with multiple transceiver antennas for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) communications is presented. The performance of the scheme is analytically examined in a Rayleigh fading channel. It is observed that our analytical results agree well with the empirical results. The validity and usefulness of the ST-SIC scheme are also demonstrated by computer simulations.
