Abstract
A receiver includes multi-user detection (MUD) functionality and a cognitive engine. The receiver may also be coupled to multiple antennas and have analog beamforming capability. The cognitive engine is operative for selecting a beam or beams associated with the multiple antennas to enable successful demodulation by the MUD. The receiver has application in multiple access channels and in other communication scenarios.
