Dynamic Grouped Chip-Level Iterated Multiuser Detection Based on Gaussian Forcing Technique

The brute-force MAP-based chip-level iterated (CLi) multiuser detection techniques exploiting the newly proposed low-density signature (LDS) structure have been shown to approach the performance of single-user even at overloading condition of up to 200%. However, their complexity is exponential to the number of interfering users in a chip that can be impractical. In this letter, by using Gaussian-forcing (GF) technique, we trade-off performance and complexity and it results in a dynamic grouped GF (G-GF) CLi MUD technique. We show via computer simulation, at the system with 200% condition, the loss of approximately 0.3 dB compared to its brute-force counterpart is observed while reducing the complexity to more than half.
