Specifically, our work focuses on near-optimum Bayesian multiuser detectors for synchronous DS/CDMA systems. The complexity of the theoretical Bayesian approach grows exponentially with both the number of active users and the number of symbols received, constituting, this way, not a viable detection solution. Therefore, the development of suboptimal algorithms by making use of a new set of simplifications strategies becomes a crucial issue to be addressed. In this work, a global framework for multiuser Bayesian equalization is first established by developing a general algorithm suitable for blind (non-data-aided) communications scenarios. Afterwards, a group of simplification techniques is introduced and, finally, the performance is evaluated and compared to that of the most well-known traditional multiuser detectors.", pages = "127-141(15)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/klu/vlsi/2007/00000048/F0020001/00000010" doi = "doi:10.1007/s11265-006-0010-0" }
