Multiuser detection based on Grover´s algorithm

The classical optimal solution of CDMA multi-user detection is consistent with the optimization of a quadratic function, and to find the optimum is a NP hard problem. Reducing the complexity of optimum based on quantum parallel computation is a new trend of multi-user detection techniques. In this paper, we propose a scheme based on Grover´s searching algorithm to find the optimum. We give the relationship of bit error rate against signal-to-noise and correlation coefficient by numerical simulation, and simply evaluate the computational complexity of our proposed scheme. The results show that our solution has almost the same performance to the classical optimal one, however, with low complexity
