Abstract
An apparatus and method for a multiuser receiver in a CDMA communication system are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of White Matched Filters (WMFs) for pulse shaping received user signals, considering Multiple Access Interference (MAI), and a filter for detecting output signals of the WMFs using a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) scheme, and outputting bit estimation values of the respective users. A transfer function of the WMF is determined by: adding a power spectral density function of the MAI to a power spectral density of an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN); and multiplying an inverse number of the added value by a transfer function (H*(w)) of a Conventional Matched Filter (CMF). Accordingly, the SNIR can be maximized and thus the BER performance may be improved, without additional information, by using the filter in which the power spectral density of the MAI is added to the AWGN and then multiplied by the CMF function.
