Abstract: | This paper proposes an adaptive interference cancelling equalizer (ICE), which not only equalizes intersymbol interference (ISI), but also cancels cochannel interference (CCI) in the received signal in Rayleigh-fading environments, ICE is an adaptive multiuser detector for the frequency-selective fading environment commonly experienced by mobile communication channels. ICE employs a novel detection scheme: recursive least-squares maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (RLS-MLSE), which simultaneously estimates time-varying channel parameters and transmitted signal sequences. Diversity reception is used to enhance the signal detection performance of ICE. A computer simulation of a 40-kb/s QPSK time-division multiple-access (TDMA) cellular mobile radio system demonstrates the possibility of improving system capacity with ICE. Simulations of ICE with and without diversity are carried out under various fading conditions. For the maximum Doppler frequency of 40 Hz, ICE can attain an average bit-error rate (BER) of 10 -2 under a single CCI carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) of ~14 dB. Moreover, ICE for two independent CCI signals can attain the average BER of 1.5×10-2 with average CIR⩾-10 dB |
