Abstract
An apparatus, such as a base station or a user equipment, includes a transceiver configured to receive a first signal that is a superposition of symbols transmitted concurrently by users in shared resources of an air interface. The apparatus also includes a processor configured to iteratively cancel, for the users, interference produced by the symbols transmitted by other users on the basis of log likelihood ratios (LLRs) that represent likelihoods that previous estimates of the symbols transmitted by the other users are correct. The processor is also configured to iteratively decode the symbols transmitted by the users after canceling the interference produced by the symbols transmitted by the other users.
