New support vector machine based multiuser detection scheme

In order to suppress the multiple access interference (MAI) in 3 G, which limits the capacity of a CDMA communication system, a fast relevance vector machine (FRVM) is employed in the multiuser detection (MUD) scheme. This method aims to overcome the shortcomings of many ordinary support vector machine (SVM) based MUD schemes, such as the long training time and the inaccuracy of the decision data, and enhance the performance of a CDMA communication system. Computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed FRVM based multiuser detection has lower bit error rate, costs short training time, needs fewer kernel functions and possesses better near-far resistance.
