We propose a method for blind multiuser detection (MUD) in synchronous systems over
flat and fast Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt an autoregressive-moving-average
(ARMA) process to model the temporal correlation of the channels. Based on the ARMA
process, we propose a novel time-observation state-space model (TOSSM) that describes
the dynamics of the addressed multiuser system. The TOSSM allows an MUD with natural
blending of low-complexity particle filtering (PF) and mixture Kalman filtering (for
channel estimation). We further propose to use a more efficient PF algorithm known
as the stochastic
-algorithm (SMA), which, although having lower complexity than the generic PF implementation,
maintains comparable performance.
