Summary :

The uplink of a space-time block coded multicarrier modulation code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) system equipped with a uniform linear array (ULA) at the base station is studied. A blind decoder that provides closed-form solutions of both transmitted symbol sequences and directions of arrival (DOAs) for all active users in one macrocell is derived without the uplink space-time vector channel estimation. The decoder uses an ESPRIT-like method to separate multiple co-channel users with different impinging DOAs. As a result, the DOAs of multiple users are obtained. In particular, a set of signal spaces, every one of which is spanned by the coded symbol sequences of an individual user, are also obtained. From these signal spaces, the original symbol sequences of multiple users are estimated by exploiting the special structure of space-time block coding (STBC) in combination with the finite alphabet property of transmitted symbols. Performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by extensive computer simulations.
