Multiuser Detection

Originally published in 1998, Multiuser Detection provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject of multiuser digital communications. Multiuser detection is one of the most important areas in modern communications technology, and this self-contained book covers the whole field, starting with simple examples and progressing to complex applications. The author begins with a review of multiaccess communications, dealing in particular with code division multiple access (CDMA) channels. He then discusses simple and optimum approaches for demodulating CDMA channels, and deals with decorrelating and non-decorrelating linear multiuser detection schemes. He also covers in detail more advanced topics such as decision-driven multiuser detection, noncoherent multiuser detection, and array processing. The only prerequisites assumed are undergraduate-level probability, linear algebra, and digital communications. The book contains over 240 exercises.

• Author is one of the founders of the field, and very distinguished - Fellow of IEEE, President of the Information Theory Society
• Was the first treatment of an extremely hot topic in industry (Motorola, Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, etc.) and academia
• Over 240 exercises and many worked examples - ideal as a textbook or reference volume
