Abstract:
A receiving method for mobile radio applications, which comprises the following steps:receiving a given user data signal and at least one further user data signal within a same frequency band; iteratively equalizing the given user data signal and the further user data signal within an iterative equalizer comprising an adaptive multiuser data detector and a multiuser channel decoder connected via a feedback path to the adaptive multiuser data detector; during the iterative equalization process, further source decoding a signal output from the iterative equalizer and generating an extrinsic information item; and feeding back the extrinsic information item to the multiuser channel decoder and utilizing the extrinsic information item for multiuser channel decoding within the iterative equalization process, thereby effecting a noise reduction in the iteratively equalized given user data signal.
