We propose an extended one-shot decorrelating detector (EOS-DD) which may be viewed as a generalized double window multiuser detector (DW-MD) for asynchronous direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems in frequency selective fading environments. The EOS-DD extends a processing window and the received signal over an extended window is utilized for decorrelating. The effects of the window size on BER performance are investigated by numerical analysis. Analysis and simulation show that the EOS-DD is superior to the one-shot decorrelating detector (OS-DD) and finite memory length truncated decorrelating detector (FIR-DD) in terms of noise enhancement and near-far resistance. It is also shown that the EOS-DD with window size 4 can provide significantly improved performance compared to the EOS-DD with window size 2.

In this paper, we propose a simplified Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection scheme for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system that has much less computational complexity than the conventional ML detection scheme. Simulation results verify that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is close to that of the ML detection scheme with significant complexity reduction.
