Decision feedback data detection in frequency domain for single carrier cyclic prefix assisted CDMA systems: A sequential quadratic programming approach

This paper proposes a frequency domain decision feedback data receiver for the uplink transmission of broadband single carrier cyclic prefix-assisted CDMA systems. The optimum data detection problem based on the maximal-likelihood criteria for this system is addressed as a combinatorial optimization problem. A sequential quadratic programming approach is proposed to solve this problem. The parallel gradient projection method and projected successive over relaxation algorithm are proposed to solve the sequential quadratic programming problem, which corresponds to low-complexity nonlinear parallel and successive interference cancellation schemes in frequency domain. The convergence properties and the complexities of these methods are analyzed and compared with conventional methods. The simulation results show that, with a few iterations, the proposed scheme gives near single user performance even for fully loaded systems.
