Joint multiuser and inter-symbol interference suppression in CDMA systems using particle swarm optimization algorithms

Using Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has become a common heuristic technique in many fields of engineering. In this paper, we apply PSO to solve Joint Multiuser and Inter-symbol Interference (ISI) Suppression problems in the code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems over multipath Rayleigh fading channel, to reduce the computational complexity. In the proposed method, conventional detector (CD) is used as the first stage to initialize the PSO algorithm and time-varying acceleration coefficients (TVAC) are used in PSO algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of PSO-based MUD with TVAC is promising and outperform the CD.
