Multi-user Detection / Interference Cancellation
MLSE is too complex for practical DS-CDMA systems
Most of the proposed detectors can be classified in one of the two categories: Linear Interference Cancellation (IC) or Subtractive IC
Most promising scheme is Groupwise SIC (GSIC)
Users grouped according to their SF; PIC or decorrelator is applied within the group. Their MAI is subtracted from the MF outputs of other users. This is done successively with higher SF groups.
Users with lowest SF is subtracted from the MF outputs of the other users. This is done successive till the highest SF group
