Abstract

A linear receiver is proposed for downlink DS-CDMA communications over unknown frequency-selective fading channels. The new receiver exploits the fact that all synchronized downlink signals go through the same channel and recovers the desired signal with a constrained channel equalizer followed by a despreader. Such a scheme allows the receiver to operate blindly in a time varying environment for both periodic CDMA and aperiodic CDMA systems.
